Media call Dean "Cult leader" on 25th annivesary of Jonestown.
This really hit me since it's been in the papers here a lot. 25 years ago Jim Jones got over 900 people to commit suicide by drinking poisoned Kool-Aid. Hundreds of people followed him to South America to create the perfect community. They died.

Fast forward to 2003. Howard Dean runs for President and has a passionate following. Call him a "Cult Leader." THis is trash journalism at its worst.

Do I think this is a coincidence that "Cult Leader" is term they use to describe Dean? No way. These creeps know exactly what they are doing.

THere will be mention of the People's Temple Cult in the news. So throwing out the term "Cult Leader" to label Dean is pretty damn calculated if you ask me.

THe Media Whores continue to stoop lower and lower everyday.

3. Thats journalism these days or what calls itself
:shrug: If anyone wants to see a real cult, I shall introduce them to the Bush cult. To my knowledge Dean supporters havent been violent with those who disagree nor do they sue anything that remotely sounds anti Dean, now with Bush supporters, agh. I assume you all have heard about companies being sued for "insulting the president" and what not.
