17. He's responding to a NY Times article or a Jeff Jarvis article
....yesterday which used the word "cult" regarding the Barack Obama campaign.

Jeff Jarvis apparently meant like a religious cult:

While the NY Times used the phrase "cult of personality" which is what Kruschev called Stalin after Stalin had died.

9. Foolish? No she's showing how foolish the cult spin by the Clinton camp and their
pals at the NY Times is.

4. Well the NY Times Editorial geniuses must think it is because they think that
just because you are a Democrat, fellow Democrats should blindly support you. Isn't blind, unquestioning support part of the Moonie Cult?

13. That's what's making me suspicious.
Better get this out to Bill, so he can make some calls and "expose" them!

18. Uhm, maybe...
anyone who dogmatically follows an ideology or person, and shuns the "outsider" and "foreign" ideas voraciously is displaying quite a few "cult like" traits. Then again, I'm also puzzled by people at sporting events, and I never understood patriotism either. I can't, in good conscious, be such an enthusiastic supporter of people I only agree with about 20% of the time.
