38. Again, were you creeped out by the Clinton campaign in '92?
It had all the charismatic elements present in Obama's campaign, more perhaps. Hell, the man was getting called everything from the second coming of JFK to the second coming of Elvis. Yet I didn't see people from other campaigns getting freaked out by this style, not to the point of calling out his followers as cultists.

I think this meme, where ever it originated, does a disservice both to Obama and to Hillary. It shows up Hillary and her supporters as petty and childish, willing to stoop to any level to win at any cost. Continue down this path and it could very well come back to bite her in the GE this fall, as disgruntled Obama supporters go third party or go home. Is that what you want?

Sorry, but you are persisting in spreading this meme, if you were smart you would stop. Oh, and for your own information, I am not a partisan of either camp.
