“Why do I suddenly have the strong hunch that Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field will turn out to be his Dukakis-in-the-tank moment, only multiplied by at least an order of magnitude?”

My hunch is that B. Hussein would like to turn his acceptance speech into a Nurenburg Rally as in Riefenstahl’s “Triumph of the Will”. If Hussein over plays his hand then McCain might have him where he wants him. A good way to play McCain’s response would be to flick back and forth between Hussein’s acceptance speach and Riefenstahl’s movie or include the “Star Wars” medal awarding scene which was also based upon “Triumph of the Will”. They could do it in stages, i.e. first show Hussein speaking, then show Princess Leia giving the medal to Luke Skywalker, then fade out from Luke and Leia to Hitler addressing the troops at Nurenburg. Obviously the response should be satirical with a strong element of humor. The best way to take down a demagogue is to laugh at him.

The first week after the Democrat Convention will be critical. We should not get our hopes up but there is a possibility that Hussein will implode McGovern style. Such an implosion would have major impact because Hussein would pull down the MSM and much of the liberal elite with him.
