Nation's Police, James Carville Buying Riot Gear for Election Night

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

From 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. (depending on your precinct), November 4th will be spent voting for our representative government in our proud, 232 year-old tradition.

After that, the riots begin

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest…

Sen. Obama (Ill.), the Democratic nominee for president, has seen his lead over rival Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) grow in recent weeks, prompting speculation that there could be a violent backlash if he loses unexpectedly.

But don't take the cops' word for it. Take James Carville's

"You stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there."

Translation: Full-scale riots. Lock up your children. Invest in body armor. Particularly if you live in one of these politically volatile areas…

* Cincinnati: Ohio's African-American voters were already disenfranchised at the polls in 2004. If it happens again, expect a rush that would put the woeful Bengals to shame.

* Wasilla, Alaska: If Sarah Palin loses her VP bid, expect the resident moose population to take the brunt of local frustration.

* Boston: It would only get ugly here if the underdog winner of the election turns out to be the Red Sox.

  1. Things for Republicans to do AFTER the election:
    McCain might sell "dema-goggles", for people who can only see one way.
    Palin can peddle Apocalypstick.
    Alas, poor Joe the plumber has lost the American Dream of plunging his snake thru the White House Throne. Perhaps some elite, socialist family can flush out something for him.
    The rest of them can invest in Kleenex.

  2. The way I look at it is, if people want to riot then they should be ready for the consequences. Law enforcement should get the cells ready and look forward to an increase in money coming in. Don't worry so much about "oooo, there will be turmoil on the streets" instead "cha ching, cha ching" bring home the bacon. More power to our Law enforcement and the increase in revenue.

  3. I would add to that. How easy it is for people of every "race, creed and color" in the upper socio-economic brackets, all you elitist ideologues, to spawn divisive bullshit that leads to misunderstanding down here at the lower end of the socio-economic scale. If you have your way, you'll pit us against one another with your bullshit, and we, not you, will pay the price. The silent majority, the ones you bullshit and conceive as cattle, fodder for your agenda, and worker bees, so you can live like royalty, will be the ones that suffer.

    Oh yeah, Jesus was a community organizer. Not Obama who advanced to full fledged elitist in the space of a few months. He's not one of us. He is not here to help the downtrodden as he professes. He's selling us bullshit, making promises that won't be kept in the aftermath of his great triumph over those perceived, in the symbolic sense, to have some advantage. In that, he's as "white" as they come. Nothing but a figurehead. Just another corrupt, sell-out politician. A false messiah. Race has nothing to do with it. Not in the real world. Unfortunately your bullshit influences the real world.

    Maybe, if God is good, we'll get a real community organizer. Someone like Martin Luther King or Ghandi. Obama in the long run will mean nothing to us. He's Just another worthless bureaucrat. He has lived a very priviledged life despite his "narrative." Hopefully, we'll get a real leader. Real leaders are not elected. They just rise up. Natural law.

  4. Well, you should worry. That's all they talk about on the street. Win or lose there could be trouble. Haven't you noticed what happens after hyped-up sports events? Cars get overturned because a team wins! I'd hate to think what happens if their "team" loses.

    If something happens to Senator Obama, that's you really need to worry. All hell will break loose. Here's praying that he's got the best and most loyal security that can have. Violence hurts. It's senseless. We can't afford that misery. Especially right now when we need to find ways to pull together.

  5. I do worry about Cincinnati, actually, for different reasons. There's already a martial-law police presence in Over-the-Rhine, the most disadvantaged, highest percentage of minority part… I hope not, but I think fears like this might make the already omnipresent police start riot-bashing even in the absence of a riot.

  6. Carville should sacrifice his wife to the blood-thirsty mobs.
