Blood Will Run in the Streets'--

It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious.

A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says she her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an "obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night." She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.

Or maybe people just don't want this socialist nobody to be the President? Nah, not possible, must have been a conspiracy.

I haven’t heard a lot of Dems threaten to move this election cycle.

I figure they will be coming out of the woodwork this week!

I love to see the Libs driven crazy!

FTA:

“....Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can’t cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves....”

Well, then, that’s a bonus, I guess. You made my day, Erica.

"If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets."

sigh.......

No, he will fire up the Weather Machine and drown them.

Actually I think that CWII could occur either way. If he wins and tries to rewrite the constitution he could well spark a conflict. Either way, like the first CW secession would not be allowed; that issue was settled in 1865.
