Don't you just love how guilt by association is back on the menu? The Obama campaign is demagoguing the hell out of McCain for not denouncing Obama-hating racists fast enough, a tactic that the NYT seems enthusiastic to promote. Meanwhile the combination of pro-Obama cult worship from racist cretins...

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.. says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."... "Brothers and sisters," Farrakhan said, "Barack Obama to me, is a herald of the Messiah. Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you something new, something better is on the way." Farrakhan points out that the man Nation of Islam followers refer to as "the Savior," Fard Muhammad, had a black father and a white mother, just as Obama did. "A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he said. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.

... continues apace with thuggishness from Obama's followers:

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors," Barack Obama told a crowd.. "I want you to argue with them and get in their face."... Attempts to shut down political speech have become routine for liberals. Congressional Democrats sought to reimpose the “fairness doctrine” on broadcasters, which until it was repealed in the 1980s required equal time for different points of view. The motive was plain: to shut down the one conservative-leaning communications medium, talk radio.

No surprise. Dystopian populist movements built around charasmatic leaders always end up like this. This is what happens when you slip into declaring that your political opponents are scheming enemies. Followers immerse themselves in thuggish mobs and justify their violence as unfortunate but necessary - how else can they take on the imagined monsters on the other side? surreal worship and thuggish militarism become inevitable, as do - eventually - physical attacks.
