Speaking of 'religious-like fervor', I also just saw a video of a Jesus Camp, where they had a life-sized cutout of Bush, and the children were laying hands on it, praying for the President. Talk about creepy. But to me that doesn't reflect on Bush, and I don't think what Obama's supporters do on their own should reflect on him (the "indoctrination" or "Hitler youth" references).
Yes, I saw the Black Panther videos (election day in Philadelphia, you mean?). Why they aren't in jail would amaze me, except that I spent many years in Philadelphia. The Machine is alive and well...it's a 'get away with murder if you know the right people' kind of place. Always was; there is just a different group in charge now..
I think the 'fanatical fringe' on both sides is bigger than ever in this country; there's going to be a major clash. Maybe when they wipe each other out, the sensible people can take over :-)
