2. They're all Equally as bad.
It's a lame attempt to make him look bad, and make supporters feel bad about their support of him.

3. I chose the cult-leader meme
Mostly 'cause DU is the only place I've seen it. It's so dumb that no one outside the blogosphere seems to have heard about it.

11. so sorry you aren't pleased.
How did you manage to extricate yourself from an "Obama is a cult leader so I'm donating to Hillary" thread?

17. I'd have to concur. Lakoff says you need to set your political frames, not repeat your opponent's.
Sometimes it's hard to resist getting drawn in, and that's what a good frame does. It draws you in and makes you defend it, and by defending it, you give it legs and ultimately a sense of legitimacy.

I do feel that this stuff is better coming out in the primaries than the GE. Obama needs to show he can defuse negative frames, and set new ones of his own, both about him and his opponent. That's what good nominees are made of.

19. Hillary doesn't have a cult like following.
HITLER
BUSH
OBAMA

I can only hope that Obama plans to use his "influence" for good.
