Obama Getting Disagreeable

For a long time, Barack Obama argued for a "new kind of politics" in which people of good faith could "disagree without being disagreeable." But now that the last six weeks of the campaign are approaching, he's advising his supporters in the battleground state of Nevada to get downright nasty:

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

From the AP, via Drudge.
