The Big Con on your Teevee

I did a man-on-the-street interview with the local Fox affiliate this morning in my neighborhood, Hyde Park (where the Obamas live), and after the "What did you think of Michelle's speech" the reporter asked me three questions about the apparent plot to kill Barack Obama, which "authorities" seem alone in not taking seriously. The reporter, of course, did not call the news for what it was, a right-wing terrorist conspiracy, but this correspondent did. Looking straight into the camera, I gave a thumbnail version of the Neiwert-Robinson thesis on eliminationism. And said that the very fact that the Obama family faces this risk to fight for what they believe in attests to their patriotism in a way that should make those criticizing it ashamed. (For the record, John McCain is equally patriotic.)
