Erica Jong Tells Italians Obama Loss 'Will Spark the Second American Civil War'

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.

Here's a translation of Jong's more spirited quotes to the Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca.

"The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."

Exactly. If it’s as inevitable as people keep saying then bring it on. It’ll last about a month and we’ll get rid of all the bad blood. I personally doubt that there will be a “civil war” but I am 100% sure there will be BIG riots if “the chosen one” loses.

Stalin tolerated religion? How? By murdering Christians?

It was religious nuts with guns who sparked our revolution.

Well, I bet the rioters will burn down the punk rocker hair salon across the street from where I’m working (here in Minneapolis), but I bet they stay away from small-town Jordan’s Bubba’s bar and Joe’s Ammo Shop.

This BMW-driving, American Express-carrying Republican owns lots of guns and voted for McCain.

>>Either way, like the first CW secession would not be allowed; that issue was settled in 1865.
>
>I don’t think those on the right of this conflict would want secession.

Nope. We want America to be whole, and to have justice applied uniformly and evenly; even to the rich and powerful. (ie politicians.)

>Most that I talk to speak of ridding our country of those who would tear it down from within.

There’s a quote about the Tree of Liberty that reminds me of; this reminds me of a question in basic training: “What makes the green grass grow!?”

Second American Civil War? If I recall we had a damn fine President during the first one (actually two damn fine Presidents!)

The, as yet theoretical, Civil War 2.
Or it could be Chief Warrant-officer 2.

Really?? My question is she willing to go out into the streets and put her life on the line in a war or is she just offering up the Blacks to do this for the dems.

I don’t believe it will be race riots if Obama should win that will lead to our civil war. I do believe there will be great animosity between us when the true Obama starts showing his colors. If we have a massive attack on this country again, I think that will be the true wedge that separates us and them, we were warned and yet the populace put the promise of more handouts ahead of the safety of our country.

Funny how this is several times now that I have heard the left threaten violence if BO doesnt win....I have even read the Kos Kidz saying to get out from behind the computer screen and go buy fire arms...

This from the anti-war wing of the dems? Willing to start CW2?

And they are the ones who are engaging in voter fraud? Campaign finance fraud? And economic terrorism (Soros and co intentionally manipulating markets)???

They are not in a moral position to start anything.
