"Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc."Holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country," huh?

So it's not enough to have Obama's mug plastered everywhere like Big Brother. We also get the Ingsoc salute.
What next? "War is Peace"? Oh, that's right. Big Barack said that about Iran. "Freedom is slavery"? They got that, too, in the form of Michelle Obama's statements about the US. "Ignorance is strength"? That would be Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
