The Young Turks

You've gotten just a taste, a mere hint of what the cons have in store for you, from Mrs. Clinton and her supporters.

I'm sure you heard Tom Buffenbarger, president of the machinists' union, and Clinton supporter, call you out last night, in what apparently substituted for an introduction, saying;
"I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius- driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter.”

To this just say NAFTA=Bill Clinton, but this guy's right about the looming attack machine.

The smear tactics have begun. Have you seen the the clip of your wife saying, "for the first time, I'm reallly proud of my country..." She's referring to the positive political wave that's sweeping the country, due to her husband in large part. Probably not the way she would say it given another chance, and, without context, it's fodder for McCain.

But if you link to this clip from Drudge's site, someone has already edited out the "really" part, so she seems to say; "for the first time, I'm proud of my country...". That sounds totally different and plays right into the meme the cons are trying to fit around your family, portraying you as phony-Americans. As black muslim foreigners with no real love for, or allegiance to our nation, who will betray the country given the chance.

I don't think attacks like these, and the worst is surely still to come, can stem this tide of change you are inspiring, but it will certainly be a mean, atavistic, chokeholds and bayonettes battle. So when you least expect it, expect it.  

But also expect this. This sea change in our country is made up of millions of us who are fired-up, ready to fight, and ready to feed the energy you've given to us, right back to you. We will inspire you too.

I've heard so many of your supporters saying they need  an ally who will give it all, leave it all out on the stage, "on the field of battle." That you won't back down. That you will take the fight right to the oppostion, with no apologies for the convictions you hold.

We've been let down so many times as certain Democrats have yielded so easily to this corrupt regime, that it will take your actions and your words to overcome the smears, and keep this wave moving. I think we may need constant reminders, again, in action and speech, that you will stand up for yourself, and for us.
