We're all Actors in a Leftist Fantasy

Barack Obama is the main player in a fantasy being played out in front of us by the Left.  Here's the fantasy:  A brilliant, wise, caring and progressive leader runs for President.  He is both black and white: a living rebuke to the anti-miscegenation laws of the past.  The evil right-wing Conservatives rise up in racist reaction against this wonderful leader.  Good Americans are aghast at the bigotry displayed and react by voting for this leader in droves, leaving the Conservative movement in tatters.

This fantasy is overpowering.  But conservatives are mostly reacting in an appropriate manner-- we are challenging his background, his beliefs, and his effectiveness. We are discussing issues.  And we have a candidate who is running pretty much 100 percent on issues. This is not what the Left wants-- even an Obama win on the issues does not help the Left validate themselves. So the Left is doubling down by trying to make it 'all Obama, all the time.' For them, the Right is a collective Colonal Nathan Jessop and at some point we'll break and scream "You can't handle the truth!" followed by a blistering stream of racial invective that will cause us to collapse and be led off the political stage for good.

According to Ruffini's blog post, Democratic consultants say it's all about Obama. It's not all about Obama.  It's all about the Left *using* Obama to validate their particular Manichean world view.  But the American people are simply going to get annoyed that CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, and the New York Times are not informing them about John McCain. So they will look elsewhere to learn about the candidates.  And we will inform them about John McCain while readership and viewership of the Leftist media continue to drop.
