Conservatives: "Impeach Barack Obama"

How many Facebook groups are there dedicated to impeaching Barack Obama? I lost count before I got to one hundred. This one, with 8,123 members, proposes to stop "the crime wave he intends to preside over once enthroned."

The fact that millions of Americans, a priori, will not even consider any Democratic president legitimate, is a theme we've been worrying since the debut of this blog. It's part of my argument for a liberal shock doctrine—that Obama needs to get done anything he wants to get done fast, because of the millions of dollars and man-hours that will be devoted to delegitimizing his presidency from Day One. Or, as we've seen, Day Negative-Seventy-Five. Actually, earlier: some have been gameplanning actual strategies since before the election.

We'll be watching them here on the Big Con. Please do keep your favorite specimens of ObamaHate flooding my inbox (rperlstein/at/ourfuture.org) so I can share them with the congregation.
