OBAMA TELLS SUPPORTERS: 'ARGUE AND GET IN THEIR FACE'

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Barack Obama sharpened his attacks on John McCain and mocked the Republican's recent calls for reform in two stops in Nevada on Wednesday after days of listening to nervous supporters fret about the Democrat's chances of taking the White House...

...The feistier, more sarcastic tone came as worried Democrats urged Obama to get tougher and show more passion. Obama has tried to assure donors and voters that he's been schooled by Chicago politics...

..."I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

From TammyBruce.com:

Barry, realizing her can't win by persuading anyone that Marxism is a good idea, now implements one of the finer strategies of the left and a favorite of George Soros--create a Gestapo of foot-soldiers to fight with and harass people until they do what you say.

From National Review Online:

Oh, come on, when have they not been in our faces? In classrooms, at the movies, in bookstores, on television shows . . . I have been to after-concert parties, which are supposed to center on music and whatnot. And, while you’re virtually at the threshold — before you have your coat off — they are on you about Bush, the Downing Street Memo, arsenic in the water . . .

I don’t think you have to worry: They’ve got the get-in-their-faces thing pretty well down. The Left suffers from a lot. Shyness, restraint, or decorum — no.
