Projection is an ugly mistress.
So.. there's a violent war about to be declared on American citizens. Ms. Wolf and her friends are the only ones clear-eyed enough to see it coming, and..
What? They're not renouncing their citizenship and moving to Europe? Don't they know they'll be the first ones targeted by the coming American police state? They should be urged to flee while they can!
It's always nice to hear from a typical Obama supporter.
Dictators and gangs of thugs all over the world hold elections. It means nothing. When a cabal has seized power you can have elections and even presidents, but you have freedom.
Wait, did she just admit that the "elections" of thugs like Chavez and Mugabe are bogus?!?!?!?!
They say the best lie contains a kernel of truth.
Oh dear, the poor thing must be popping her paradigm clutch hard enough to strip those gears to the nub....
Wolf creates fantasy fears here to justify herself and her views. It is why the left hates Palin, she represents reality vs the fantasy of Obama. As CS Lewis put it in The screwtape letters...
...submerged in self-pity for imaginary distresses—you would try to protect him at all costs from any real pain; because, of course, five minutes' genuine toothache would reveal the romantic sorrows for the nonsense they were...
That is Wolf's in particular and our friends on the left's issue in a nutshell.
The woman is nuts! Everyone knows there won't be any point in an election this year--it's all a Rovian ruse because Bush won't step down January 21st, he'll seize power and imprison everyone with a BusHitler/Impeach Bush/whatever anti-Bush sticker of your choice bumpersticker (making their dreams come true!) Billary and Pelosi and Reid will all go to a secret underground prison for the rest of their unnatural lives
"If McCain-Palin get in, this will be the last true American election."
But wait...I've been hearing for a long time now that 1996 was the last true American election.
I'm so confused.
Anybody know how I can lock up the franchise on Valium and Depends adult diapers for that crowd?
Seriously, no matter how the election goes, I figure I'll make a killing.
Gunga:
True, true.
That and the usual Lefty misdirection. Piles of 'Bush Lied' door stoppers at every bookstore, yet the Left blubbers on about 'stifling dissent'. Meanwhile, it's Obama's critics and the makers of The Road to 9/11 who face legal harrassment and political pressure. Michael Moore gets Oscars; but it's Stanley Kurtz who gets mobbed by Al Gore's famous 'digital brownshirts'.
Police state, indeed.
This from people who think vandalism, heckling speakers and interfering with the assembly rights of others are forms of free speech expression.
Repressive tolerance in action.
Cats and dogs, living together...? This lady has more than one screw loose!
You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American police state.
WTF is this alpha-twit talking about? I already thought the Fourth Reich had been in place since 2001 when Chimpy McHalliburton and his Lone Star Legion of Doom had hyp-no-tized the Supreme Court and paid Al Gore to take a dive for the short-end money.
Damn, and to think I've been sitting by the phone all this time, waiting for Karl Rove to return my call about a job in the concentration camp system. What a pisser.
So let me get this straight, the police who dress in Black shirts to blend in are the face of the coming vicious fascist state, but the protestors, who often commit violence and are the ones dressing in black as a political statement and common identity are harmless?
Hoo-boy. Anyone who thought Bush Derangement Syndrome would dissipate after he left office are in for a rude awakening...
Shouldn't these losers move to Canada if a police state is coming
Wow. Maverick McCain and Sarah Baracuda are the affable weak figureheads? If I was looking for an affable weak figurehead, I would chose someone who can read whatever he is given on a teleprompter. Or, maybe I'd pick someone who just likes to hear himself talk, whether it makes any sense or not.
I certainly wouldn't choose a couple of loose cannons, with a history of loudly and effectively dissagreing with their political allies. I don't agree with everything McCain and Palin want to do, but neither of them seems like a potential puppet.
Why does Wolf think she is of such importance that she is being singled out for these attacks?
How does Sarah Palin who on the one-hand they say is a backwoods hick turn into this diabolical character?
Could it be that we've misread the article and it's Wolf's attempt at satire? /s
So if I'm part of an ethnic group that's less than 2% of the population how can we possibly gain control? We'd need to create allies. The majority we're up against are real capitalists, in fact they built their booming economy by inventing and manufacturing just about everything in the last century. We are more 'anti-capitalism' so we created unions. Now they all vote with us so they can make more money and not work as hard as their non-union neighbors. Another large group we recruited was Afro-Americans. We ran the Civil Rights movement, got them all sorts of programs, encouraged their population boom and now they are voting with us. But there was still too many of these original 'real american' type yahoos voting against us so we changed the immigration policy and let lots of different cultures in to make us more 'diverse'. They now get all kinds of benefits so they vote with us. Oh and the Gays are all ours. We totally support them and whatever excesses they can think of. That goes for child molesters, pornographers, gangstas- anything the Christian majority has a problem with. Our ACLU protects them. And makes sure we don't have to endure their Christmas celebration anymore.
Without much opposition we were able to buy up just about all of their information sources. We have our people writing and producing most of the news, movies, magazines, books, TV shows and reviews. Now our liberal fringe ideas are considered 'politically correct'. Lots of our award winning shows and articles (we control the awards of course) work in a little bit about how bad our government ,corporations and 'narrow minded white men' are and how really great and misunderstood gays, immigrants and minorities are. Our people run the public broadcasting, schools and universities making sure no alternative message gets through.
We had it made for a while. Then Limbaugh slipped through somehow. We got a book out as fast as we could -'Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot'. That's the kind of attack we use. Ann Coulter is stupid. O'Reilly is stupid. We do our best to control the Internet and soon hope to shut down what we consider 'hate' sites. No, not the DailyKos, that's good hate. Google is ours and we have so many rabid bloggers you'd think we were the majority in this 'democracy'.
We recruit any 'real american' types we can to be our puppets. They make a lot of money if they behave. Some of our favorites are Al Gore, Katie Couric, and any actors who want to work.
This country has really been a cakewalk. 'Real americans' were so caring and moral they'll accept all our schemes to buy voters using their tax dollars. More programs to help minorities and immigrants. They've seen nothing but positive portrayals from us so 'sure'.
We may have milked them dry now though. They seemed to have an endless supply of riches from their inventive creativity and hard work. A few of those early heroes like Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh tri
They don't want to move to Canada.. That would sandwich them between Palin's last police state Alaska, and the lower 48.
The hate spewed from the left because of PDS is fun to watch. I'm still coming up empty on Google on any statements, legislation, policies or anything where as the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin forced her religious/personal beliefs on the people of that state. I have yet to find any account of women who had abortions being thrown in jail, gays being strung up or for wanting to get married, or the implementation of a police state to crack down on "undesirables". PDS is thriving.
I'm sure that the irony of a person, who picks out Al Gore's clothes for him, blathering about weak figureheads is lost on Naomi.
Reputable dermatologists do not make diagnoses without first examining the patient. And no, the weasel words "in simply actuarial terms" don't change that. The "reputable dermatologists" are, like the rest of this tripe, all in Ms. Wolf's head.
Affable, weak figurehead... Sound like particular candidate on one of the ballots?

I'd rather live in Sarah Palin's police state than Barack Obama's thought police state.
Ah yes. The teen stylings from one of the left’s most vapid pseudo-intellectual, Naomi Wolf. Reading through her latest rant is like reading a combination fashion review mixed with paranoid hallucinogenic observations. At other times it reads as though one is reading copy – think advertising.
Again, she regurgitates the never ending meme of losing ones freedoms under and a right-wing police state. The clarion call of the impending doom of an America under rule of Haliburton to which she alarms her audience that Sarah Palin will “rule America under the iron fist for 10 years!”
“Cabal” is one of the most recently overused word in the blogosphere. Another being “cadre” to which I blame Camille Paglia and her imitators. Lately it’s been “nuance” and it’s variations.
Finally, Naomi Wolf is at home in the vast intellectual (and sometimes psychotic) wasteland of the Huffington Post – it’s a product of the vapid queen herself, Ariana Huffington.

Damn it, bravetruth, you've spilled the beans. Our plan is supposed to be kept secret; I am going to have you cited at the next meeting of our international conspiracy.
I don't think you all are being very kind to Naomi Wolf. The woman has obviously gone off the deep end and should be treated with kindness; no one should listen to her.
And as to the "Evita" figure. Wasn't the actual Evita someone who wasn't much of anything until she married the right guy who boosted her into a position of power and influence? Seems to me there is an Evita figure, but it's not Sarah Palin.
"A gang or cabal seizes power, usually with an affable, weak figurehead at the fore."
Gee!
For a minute I thought she was talking about Obama.
I saw that she was even styled by the same skillful stylist (neutral lipstick, matte makeup, dark colors) who turned Katharine Harris from a mall rat into a stateswoman and who styles all the women in the Bush orbit --but who does not bother to style Cindy McCain.
----------------------
Since you decided to go there, Naomi, I've seen pictures of you and you really shouldn't go there.
Well atleast the figure head in our police state is Hot.
Yours? Not so much...
If you think the article is bad.....read the comments..... holy smokes....
I felt so bad for them, I suggested they pull themselves together. These people are truly over the edge... they really are going to lose. And when they do they are going to go cannibal on their leadership.... mark my words....
They are truly crazy.....
Seriously, the comments are truly pathetic. It's like a drum circle of dowdy, crazy, drug addled lunatics. They almost make the Democratic Underground posters seem sane.
I was reading and apparently at one point Naomi Wolf had said she saw Jesus while seeing herself as a 13-year old boy or, "I was a 13-year-old boy sitting next to him and feeling feelings I'd never felt in my lifetime ... [Feelings] of a boy being with an older male who he really loves and admires and loves to be in the presence of." Read into that as it were. Otherwise I think the teen part stuck.
By the way. I am pretty sure that when this crackpot mentions something about Sarah Palin being in office for 10-years (which is another stretch of the disturbed imaginations of Wolf) she’s making reference to Adolph Hiltler’s length of power which was approximately 10-years.

Is it time to have another conversation about the people who see crazy conspiracy theories everywhere?That has to be a mental disorder of some kind.
Also, my cat meowed at me yesterday until I let him go in the room with the dog. Then he was happy.
"If she and McCain are elected, then every single strategy memo and speech and debate prep note from every opposition candidate from now and on into forever will be read by the regime in power while it is still in the computers of the challengers."
Projection, much?
Most of the people I've known with that mental disorder, developed it via extensive drug use. Long term use of marijuanna and cocain can lead to a combination of gullibility and paranoia that lasts for years, even long after the user outgrows the drug use. We have a couple of generations of people in this country who suffer from this in at least some degree.
You're absolutely right. I just wrote about this myself.

These people are truly over the edge... they really are going to lose. And when they do they are going to go cannibal on their leadership.... mark my words....

Think how scary it will be if they win!
"In publishing an article in The New Republic that fiercely criticized contemporary pro-choice rhetoric, Wolf staked out a qualified pro-choice position. She argued that the movement had "developed a lexicon of dehumanization" and urged feminists to accept abortion as murder and defend the procedure within the ambiguity of this moral conundrum. She continues, "Abortion should be legal; it is sometimes even necessary. Sometimes the mother must be able to decide that the fetus, in its full humanity, must die."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Wolf
sweet lord, I'd love to see Palin debate this woman.
Great write-up!
Do not let Naomi see our latest Sarah video. Although, if this is the "coming police state", count us in!

Well I think Obama is going to put conservatives in concentration camps so he can teach sex ed to first graders, am I any different?
That's not any Wolf that I know.
I actually think Naomi got much of the story right. She just was confused on the candidate and examples she should have used to highlight her points.
I actually prefer the term "Browncoat" instead of Blackshirt (or even Brownshirt), more for the aesthetics and its definition, but that's based on an entirely different fantasy than Ms. Wolf's...
I bet you a Jelly Donut that Ms. Wolf will soon be booked onto the Bill Maher show to repeat word for word what she wrote in her Huffin-Stuff post.
And she will be cheered to the rafters by Maher, his panel and his audience for saying it.
Bet the farm on it.
"I realized early on with horror what I was seeing in Governor Palin"
Pure projectionism if I ever saw it. Ms. Wolf, the white jackets are on their way.
it's what the irreputable dermatologists are discussing that I fear...
The trouble with crazy people is, you have to treat them like they're crazy.
Peron was a SOCIALIST, so I would dread the second Eva Peron, but I don't think Palin qualifies.
You mean to tell me we could steal the 2000 election, cancel the 2004 election, reinstate the draft, abolish the 4th ammendment, force prayer back into the schools, re-educate all the gays, re-enslave all the blacks, de-citizenize all the Mexicans and we can't shut up this one loony? That's some cabal. What are we paying you losers for?
If Rove was so f'ng omniscient and powerful would he really need that Fox gig? I mean wouldn't he just be hanging at his 'You Only Live Twice' HQ with movie vixens sending his private rockets out to scap up communication satelites instead of reading this lunatics kids report cards? Money keeps disappearing from your bank account? Did you try calling the bank? The kids letters from camp disappeared? Yeah and the dog ate my homework. What a dumbass!
Naomi Wolf sounds seriously unhinged.
As unhinged as (former) Air America radio personality Randi Rhodes.
Before it's too late, these girls (not to mention Al Gore et al.) need to read up on themselves in The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness
Yes, indeed.
I love Naomi precisely because she is completely insane. People remember her for her idiot advice to the Gore campaign, but they forget about her histrionic cry for attention by attacking her former professor for "sexual harassment" 20 years later, and the fact that she claimed to take on the spirit of a young boy who saw Jesus. Seriously. This lady is a barking loony.

After reading this article, I looked for Naomi Wolf links to get a picture. She looks normal. However, I think I'd put her in the psycho category if she started talking about these things at a cocktail or a dinner party.
She is passionate, but apparently has no filter for her brain. If someone around her rants about conspiracy theories long enough, she will believe them.
I am always amused by the hard left, who on the one hand say George Bush is a complete moron, but on the other he is consumate, complete master at carrying out large scale conspiracies in front of tens of thousands of witnesses successfully, such as those the "truthers" believe.
Here's the link:

Agreed that Wolfe has accelerated well over the reality event horizon.
That said, I have to take issue with Paul Atreides statement:
Since you decided to go there, Naomi, I've seen pictures of you and you really shouldn't go there.I repeat, Ms. Wolfe is clearly unhinged, but she is not unattractive, unless you are obsessed with skinny, blonde, 14-year-old girls.
To my mind, Ms. Wolfe compares not unfavorably with Nia Vardalos, or Rita Wilson.
So let's stick to the issues, unless we're talking about that fat, disgusting pathetic slob Michael Moore. {/snerk}
