This crap is getting just plain SCARY.... I guess it's "CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!!"?

The Obama campaign announced Monday that he will leave the hall of the Democratic National Convention in Denver and deliver a rock-star-style acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, quadrupling his live audience.
The speech will be on the fourth and final day of the convention, Aug. 28.
Adding to the historic resonance of the first African-American to be nominated for president, that’s also the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”
The move means additional expense for the television networks, where executives are having a conference call Monday to discuss the expense and logistics of moving their cameras and anchors to the new location after months of planning for a finale in the Pepsi Center.
The convention hall has a capacity of 19,000, compared to more than 76,000 at Invesco.

I find it disconcerting that he’s actually considering campaigning in Germany and trying to make presidential speeches overseas prior to his election.
Michael Moore, or Oliver Stone?
My aren’t we full of ourselves..
“Adding to the historic resonance of the first African-American to be nominated for president,”
Attention Mike Allen:
Obama is actually the first HALFrican-American nominee. I know he threw his white grandma under the bus, but he can’t disown his genetic makeup.
McCain could lease a McDonald’s, and they wouldn’t even have to shut down the drive-thru.
He’s only doing the stadium because he couldn’t book St. Peter’s Square.
Will they be breaking windows out of Jewish owned businesses afterwards?
More like Red Square...
This is nothing compared to the Democratic Underground or Huffington Post, or John Murtha on the floor of Congress.
Invidious statements are the standard course with liberals.
What is so hilarious is Obama actually makes me want to support her as the nominee...
Come on Hillary, let the ashtray's fly!!
“More like Red Square...”
He’s ALREADY got CPUSA members on his staff...
May I just say, that graphic is OUTSTANDING.
Up until now, Obama to me has just been another garden-variety stealth liberal socialist. But with moves like this, in all seriousness, the man is starting to scare me. We’ve avoided cults of personality in this country’s Presidential history, for the most part, and I damn sure don’t want to see us start now. The sheer hubris of this is just mind-blowing.

“The move means additional expense for the television networks, “
Could mean less coverage. The Obama verbal magic does not seem to work over the airwaves as well as it does in person.
Add this to the chaos Code Pink, MoveOn, and Recreate68 are planning, and this could be a massive Charlie Foxtrot.
“Will they be breaking windows out of Jewish owned businesses afterwards?”
More likely to be WHITE-OWNED businesses with this crowd....
I would rather the O be P. then bubba the second, but I agree with you in that I still think bubba2 will be the next P
Will everyone show up in brown shirts?
Caroline Kennedy's influence. Obama is the reincarnation of JFK and RFK.
A more likely scenario than mine, yes.
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your gods name
Im every person you need to be
Im the cult of personality

Hey Kevin,
Could you expand your point?
This only distracts from those trying to make mature and very valid arguments for why Mr. Obama should not be president.
“Obama is the reincarnation of JFK and RFK.”
But...
But...
For short years ago, I was told that JOHN F’in KERRY was the reincarnation of JFK!!!
In, fact, I’ve been told that EVERY Democrat Presidential candidate since MONDALE was the reincarnation of JFK!
How can this be???
I’m afraid that your analogy is closer to the mark than even you think. We are experiencing a collective hysteria that could sweep this guy into office despite all of the clear warning signs. Hitler did not seize power, it was given to him by people exercising their rights as citizens.
Barack will forego the brown shirts and jackboots, but otherwise it may look familiar. Of course, we need not look to Germany for examples of what an Obama Administration would be like. Its happened in this country before: to wit, the Wilson and Roosevelt Administrations. The good news is that the American people wised up the first two times it was tried. The bad news is that the party that imposed these facist regimes is still alive and kicking and in the hands of people far more radical than any of their predecessors.
Problem is, the question of his birth history will by then be in question...
I was in Washington DC last week. On the Metro I asked a gentleman if he were hot in that suit....I think it was 90 degrees that day.
His response was pointed: There’s a white man in a suit, ask him!”
My eyes are wide open now.
“We are experiencing a collective hysteria that could sweep this guy into office”
It’s called “THE POWER OF PROPOGANDA”, and it’s having the same effect NOW, that it had in the 30’s, with sweeping changes in the way we communicate.
Back then, radio was new, and Hitler sounded good on the radio.
Today, we have the Internet, and the cult of media personality.
No, green shirts.
I’m not so sure the American people will wise up this time. Since the 1960’s the Libs have dominated the Universities and the popular culture. Most people are sheep, and will willingly whore their liberty for some commie social programs.
This is exactly what the general population will think of it as.
Though not mentioned in the article, I'm sure each of those network executives will be sporting wood in that meeting.
“No, they’re saving their hatred for whites. They’ll be attacking white homes and confiscating white owned bank accounts and businesses. Then they’ll kick whites out of school and seize the children of white Republicans and people who have voted conservative in the past. Then blacks will be released from prison to make room for future dissidents.”
IF you’re serious, then this thread has officially moved into irrationally paranoid territory now.
Though to be fair the Germans gave Hitler the nod because he - to all intents and purposes - saved them from Roehm.
For the analogy to be perfect Obama would need to save America from a bogeyman (yeah ok Hillary, but the left don’t really regard her as a vicious tyrant).
This whole “vote for me because it would be racist not to” is a uniquely American spin on the standard method of establishing a charismatic dictatorship
"We will, we will TAX YOU"
Maybe obama has a Dean scream moment coming along before the summer is over.Invesco Field before a crowd of 60,000 would be as good a place as any.
(Yes, it's a joke.)
Here’s hoping that the Broncos’ John Lynch, a good Republican, has something to say about this.
