Yesterday I was at the local university for a luncheon. At my table was a PhD candidate for anthropology. He is writing his thesis on human behavior in current events from an anthropology perspective. He has spent that last year or so doing very clean research (from what I could tell) on what people are "thinking" about the world. He painted me a scenario that was both alarming and interesting. He thinks Obama will win and that the backlash will be Nazi, skinhead, KKK against the Jews for putting him in. He thinks the anti-Jew furor will boil over and be the focus of people's rage since there is not one other single group that can be pointed at as responsible or "they did it!".

I have no reason to doubt him.

Maybe Farrahkhan will open the Jewish community’s eyes this weekend (Oct. 19) with his “New Beginnings” celebration. Obama *cannot* separate himself from his past.

It's easy to understand why he is wrong.

Academia never views the left as capable of such vicious crimes against humanity. The more likely scenario is they will have supported the party that destroys them. Jesse Jackson revealed an underlying resentment that will influence policy.

Various groups on the left will very happily support the end of rights they find offensive, such as free speech. They will think it completely appropriate to criminalize any opposition to their views, for example investigations of all decision making involving the WOT. They will see it as "fairness" to take someone else's property to give to another and when all the opposition is gone it will be their turn.

It could happen. It would be different if 0bama winning was due to his merit and ability. Instead, if he wins, it will more likely be due to fraud. Voter fraud from ACORN and others and professional fraud of the msm and all the news agencies who ignore reporting on anything that might damage 0bama. He is a relatively young man with little history, virtually no accomplishments to warrant his nomination and a host of questionable friends and allies. He's not winning the election, THEY are stealing it. If he wins, at some point popular opinion will turn on him, especially if he enacts any of what he is promising. It won't be pretty. He doesn't have Clinton's charisma and he won't have a good economy.

Great..
Something else I gotta worry about..I am a Jew, lifelong PJ O’Rourke style-Republican and now, I have to worry some idiot thought I voted for Nobama? My own family is running something like this.

Mom: Not voting for Nobama, for the first time, she may vote GOP and pull the lever for McCain.

Gramps: Well, Nobama reminds him of a certain Austrian housepainter. Not going to drink that cool-aid.

Wife: She flirted with the idea of voting for Nobama, till she heard about Bill Ayres...

My in-laws: All going for McCain. And they’re Brooklyn Jews.

Then there’s my Dad. God love him, but he and his family are all in the tank for the Nobamasseiah. Then again, he converted to Catholicism. ;-)
