The Field » Plan Jericho: "...Call it Plan Jericho: Like Joshua of the Old Testament and his troops who circled the halls of the city, marched around it silently for six days, on the seventh day marched around it seven times more and then, on cue, sounded a horn to end the silence and shout all at once, toppled the walls, entered the city, and “killed” (the Bible says so literally, but this time it will be politically, not mortally) every man, woman and superdelegate – including any imposter they might “nominate” by imposition – that did not participate in the certain walk-out protest that will occur under their scenario and instead chooses to remain inside the hall.
It won’t be the chaotic street protest and battle with the cops that occurred in ’68: we’ve learned too much from that. It will be organized, Gandhian in its adherence to discipline and nonviolence, and more massive than anything maybe ever seen in the United States’ long history of social movements. If the party leaders choose to destroy democracy by denying the fair-and-square winner the nomination, democracy will then be duty bound to destroy the party..."
Been there. Done that. Didn't work then. Won't work now. I can't quite picture Obama's latte crowd missing too much overpaid work and losing their jobs and then finding themselves in the same position as Clinton supporters. Go ahead. Make threats. That will knock all those Clinton supporters' knees together. Scare those toothless grandmas so they'll give it up for the new generation. All you old people-- why don't you over there and just die and let us postracials run the show. These messages, among others, are one I can so not get behind. But what would I know-- just being an old, typical white Democratic mostly liberal veteran with about a thousand relatives reinforcing my thinking.
Of course, Clinton supporters would never do such a thing. Would they? Would they?
