Tancredo: Obama is a 'cult leader'
@ 4:08 pm by Michael O'Brien


President Obama is a "cult leader" whose presidency transcends politics, former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) claimed.

"He is — you have to admit — he is a cult leader. And the cult will go with him wherever he wants to go," Tancredo said on the conservative newsradio program "Dateline: Washington."

Tancredo made the remarks in respect to the way Obama has characterized his immigration priorities, which Tancredo alleges is a cover for a broader "amnesty" program.

"You just don't know about the size of the cult; how big it is — if it's shrinking or growing," Tancredo, a rumored gubernatorial candidate in Colorado, continued. "He is not just a political figure; he is truly a cult leader."

Tancredo said he's hopeful Americans will "see through" Obama's rhetoric on immigration.

2. Uh oh, Tancredo has just outed himself. The same theme
was just written in the leftist, liberal, elitist, commie New York Times about the Republican Party.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/02/opinion/02herbert.html?_r=1

:rofl:

3. Paul Krugman and the NY Times Editorial Board....
...accused Obama of a "cult of personality" during the primary.

That's actually a reference to Stalin, and not to religion, but other critics of Obama twisted it into a relgious cult analogy.

8. Says the guy who wants to kick all the brown people out of the United States.
Shut up, Tom Tancredo--you're an idiot and an embarrassment to everyone with more than a brain stem.

9. Yes, of course: the cult of good government.
But I'm not happy with all of his decisions, particularly regarding prosecutions for torture.

20. Tancredo is on to me, that rat bastard.
And here I was all set to be named The High Dijon Poo-bah of Temple Obama #22.

Just got the secret handshake all figured out and everything.

Wonder if the Scientologists will still have me.

24. Yeah -- no kidding. We were regularly told that during the primaries here on the ol' DU.
However -- that's a hell of a big cult! 65 million strong. :woohoo:

I'm tired of him.

27. Tom Tancredo's Fantasy World.
I'll add this to the list, along with the earth being 6000 years old and global warming being made up.

The man is a nutcase.
