2. I was thinking more like Weimar Germany in the mid-30s..
Except that Sarah Braun doesn't just occupy a chair on stage during the rallies.

4. That is EXACTLY where my mind goes. They are much more dangerous than WWE rhetoric.

5. They do use the word "Suplex" an awful lot.

And what exactly is the "Camel Clutch" Mrs. Palin?

8. The Planting The One African American In The Crowd And Asking Him A Question
is straight out of The WWE. It's a gimmick as old as time. Wrestler challenges anybody in the crowd to beat him or break his hold. Wrestler always wins. Then one night a "fan" from the crowd who mysteriously is 6 ft 4 and weighs 285 pounds defeats the wrestler. That "fan" just happens to be of course a wrestler.

9. For years, I've been lamenting (quietly) the "Stone Cold Steve Austin"-izing
of American political "discussions" ... by the RWers ... they feel that they're the underdog ... when in fact, they're in the pocket of "the man" (in the WWE's case, Vince McMahon - Steve Austing was "rebelling" against the system ... when VKM was the one with total script approval).
