Okay, forget the ominous, 1984-smelling Clarion Fund — that shady and supposedly “nonpartisan” 501(c)(3) organization behind Obsession.
For now, forget even that vile right-wing piece of anti-Islamist propaganda itself. We can always come back to it later. It will still be there, I’m sorry to say, followed by another “nonpartisan” “documentary” (The Third Jihad), destined to hit electoral hot-spots nationwide on October 10th.
And last, forget too the ten major U.S. newspapers — those stalwart bastions of truth — that have slipped millions of copies of the film in their Wednesday editions in swing states all over the country, as part of a 28,000,000-home campaign to end — once and for all — the blight of thoughtful appreciation of the Other.
Okay. Done all that forgetting? Good.
Now just sit back, relax, and remember the fear.
Remember that nagging sense that you are under attack by screaming jihadists, hiding behind the swingset in your own backyard. Plotting insane acts of violence against “Freedom” — come on, you know they hate it — while huddling around Sausage McMuffins in your very town. You drive by them on misty mornings on your way to work. They watch you and chant something terrible.
What was it, again, that gave you that craven urge to strike some foreigner in the jugular? Forget about it.
Just don’t forget to get out there and vote for John McCain: P.O.W. War Hero. Guerilla leader of brave suburbanites. Ready. To. Lead.
