The stage in Denver is an homage to the site of JFK's acceptance speech - LA Coliseum.

Politico says that "...staging the convention’s signature moment in the open air on a cheesy, neoclassic stage is nothing if not an homage to JFK’s “New Frontier” convention capper — on a cheesy, neoclassic stage — at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1960."

This is the coliseum in 1932 -

That makes sense to me. I think Obama should specifically refer to Kennedy's acceptance speech being at the Coliseum -- it might clue in (and shut up!) the chattering classes.

1. The "chattering classes" know better -- they don't believe the crap they are spewing

They know it is not a Greek Temple -- they aren't that stupid. But they will say anything, no matter how IDIOTIC, to bring down Obama and shore up McCain.

2. Truth has power and magic. The more we repeat it the stronger it grows.

Or so says Howard Zinn -- paraphrased.
