A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
There are 70 days before Barack Obama becomes
president of the United States, yet the craziness against him is in full
wing. Rep.
Paul Broun (R-GA) has said Obama will establish a Gestapo-like
security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.
What does Broun
base this on? The voices in his head? Apparently, this stems from a July
speech from Obama where he discussed a civilian reserve corps that could
handle postwar reconstruction efforts such as rebuilding infrastructure.
As Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor points out, the Bush Administration
endorses this idea.
Broun also said Obama will ban gun ownership.
Though of course, there is nothing to actually base this on.
We
love the Internet for many reasons, but this isn't one of them. It's one
thing for an unknown crackpot to come up with theories not backed up by,
well, anything. But having a sitting U.S. Congressman, who just won his
first full term in Congress, make such venomous and inaccurate
statements diminishes us all.
