Barrel Strength

Victor Davis Hanson sums up elegantly the increasing revulsion of American voters to the Democrat camp followers who are presumably trying to win their votes:

There is a growing public anger at the petty amateurish biases of those who claim they are sophisticated and subtle; and it is not just that they sympathize with a smeared Palin, but are angry that the media thinks they are so stupid not to catch on. The odder thing still is that the media obsession has turned into some sort of compulsive disorder—they know that they are way out of bounds; know that they are hurting their own candidate Obama— and they know that they simply can’t and won’t quit now.

The powers that be in the Democratic party are far from amused by the backfiring sledgehammer tactics of Team Obamessiah.

As more Americans begin to see Him exposed as a false god, though, there is the real fear that He will punish our insolence by sending that naquada-enhanced atomic bomb back through the Stargate, while He takes His campaign of hope elsewhere in the galaxy.

Just one week into the campaign and the Nutty Professor has resorted to the exhausted meme of the “Hidden Agenda”:

“That means not only that we want to pull Canadians toward conservatism, but Conservatives also have to move toward Canadians if they want to continue governing the country,” Harper said.

Saying he understood Harper’s comments to mean Canada still isn’t conservative enough, Dion said: “So, I want to ask him: how far is he more right-wing than Canadians? What is his hidden agenda that he doesn’t want to communicate to Canadians?”

Nice call, Count Floyd, because fear-mongering whisper campaigns have played out so well with your erstwhile counterparts in the United States. Clearly only a gold medal-winning PhD can discern that the hidden agenda is as intellectually sound a proposition as the Springfield Bear Patrol.

Out-of-touch academics.

In our newspapers.

With lame rumour-mongering.

We wish we were making this up.
