@neolex:
Obama’s campaign actions do not fall outside normal agitprop of political campaigns

It is clear we are not communicating. There is no way to be an American advocate of American democracy and say that this thuggery is “normal” much less “normal AGITPROP” Gangsterism is not “normal”. Agitprop is by definition not pursuant of democratic goals.

Of course, I consider “Chicago” politics to be not normative. What about you? Or, are you simply unaware of the pertinence of that beautifully simple and truthful classification scheme?
