It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious. A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an "obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night." She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War. Here's a translation of Jong's more spirited quotes to the Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca. "The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged." "My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can't cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves." "My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium." "After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…" "If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets." "Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters, to the Patriot Act." She also laments that not all of America's men of letters share her devotion to Obama. "Tom Wolfe and John Updike are men of the right and Philip Roth is at this point a hermit who leads a monastic life in Connecticut, far from everything and everybody." Luckily, she said there is her and Michael Chabon, who, she says, have "taken the place of Susan Sontag and Norman Mailer respectively." They have the same political sensibilities, she said, but a better "sense of humor."
Poster Comment: I would love to see the YouTube clips if Obama loses. The Obots will go insane and crash to the earth when the Messiah, the Chosen One, fails to save them and the world. Erica Jong is Jewish and the author of what would most call pornographic novels.

Jane Fonda will probably never know how close a Navy SEAL came to whacking her in Viet Nam. As for Erica Jong's shrill threat: I thought liberals were against gun ownership?? How will blood run in the streets unless gun-owners (overwhelmingly conservative) spill it?? She's confused and on Valium, nothing more to say....
That might be fun, eh Ofellator ? Hoist you mother fuckers up on your cabal's own petards ??

Anyone else taking note of the white guilters and racists in their hoods ?

Should I buy a big screen Tee Vee? This sounds bigger than the Super Bowl, I'd hate to miss it.

Not me. One of the houses you see burning more than likely would be mine if wide spread riots break out because Obama loses. I don't think riots are guaranteed if he loses. We will all find out soon enough though because I think McCain is going to win this.
God is always good!
Should McNAU win, the 'groids will make a 3-day+ mess. Either way, the Police State marches on and the NWO be hailed.

You betcha ...
Where's your birth certificate Barack ?
"My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium." LOL!!! Anxious over the fate of daddy long legs, dese wimins be haben back problems. Ya couldn't make this sh!t up.
Barry Obama -- In your heart, you know he's wrong.
And if Obummer wins by a short nose, will that also be a stolen election????
That is an interesting racist comment from people that claim to not care about race. It also acknowledges the fact that blacks are more likely to riot than whites, if they dont get their way. It also is beginning to look like my being fired, through no fault of my own, could be seen as a Good Thing. I'd sure hate to have been stuck in Laredo when the country starts turning to shit.
I'd rather be around hispanics than blacks when that happens..
It also acknowledges the fact that blacks are more likely to riot than whites, if they dont get their way. You nailed that right smart ! .......and Erica Jong, jew/liberal, probably reflects the prejudices of the rest of her tribe.

Here in Travis county, forty-three percent of all registered voters have already voted, as of yesterday. Today is our last day to 'vote early.'
