They're Already Trying to Move the Goalposts

With the presidential election two weeks away, and a Barack Obama victory looking more likely, liberals are now in the process of trying to change the rules of engagement.

Gone are the arguments in favor of criticizing, calling for impeachment, and even, occasionally, the assassination of the sitting U.S. president. These days, the argument is, "You can't say that! You didn't like it when we did it!" or something similarly childish.

Well, I've begun formulating the rules of the game for an Obama administration, and they look quite similar to the rules liberals have used for eight years during President Bush's presidency:

1. All name-calling, including calling Obama Hitler are permissible.

2. Conservatives should call for Obama's impeachment on Inauguration Day.

3. New websites dedicated to Obama's impeachment should be set up at the same time.

4. MSM should immediately begin digging into the private lives of every person ever connected to Obama, since it might make great film but won't affect the election.

5. Any tragedy, crisis, economic downturn, foreign policy problem, deficit, or loss of life will be Obama's personal fault. Endless YouTube videos of Obama's non-Superman behavior should be run endlessly.

6. Every discussion of Obama's policies should contain at least two ad hominem attacks, 3 lies, a call for impeachment, and mention of the "stolen" election.

These rules will probably expand over the weeks following the election, but the usual useful idiots will try to argue that it is "hypocritical" to treat their candidate the way they have treated the sitting POTUS for eight years. Don't believe it.
