What is all this talk about Democrats and cults? |

Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 12:48 PM by ck4829
I said to myself that I would not enter the primary infighting, but this talk about Obama supporters having cult like behavior is crazy.
Let me take this opportunity to say that neither Hillary nor Obama supporters are cult like supporters of their preferred candidate.
You want to see REAL cult like behavior in politics? Look at the other side instead, just look at their deification of Reagan, now that is the cult way of life for you.

2. It's this year's Big Lie. |
|
Gore was "boring," Kerry was "flip-flopping," Obama is "cultish."

3. I see some rabid partisans |
|
who are so totally dedicated to their preferred candidate that they've lost their common sense and their manners, but I wouldn't call them cultlike.
I just call them ignored since I finally deleted GD-P from my page here at DU.
I no longer have a dog in this fight since Edwards dropped out. It's quite restful.

You don't see anyone on our side glorifying a man who wasn't capable of separating fact from fiction and as a consequence believed he was a war hero. You don't see anyone on our side deifying a man who believed trees caused more pollution than cars. I pity anyone who is inflicted with Alzheimer's, but those around you should have the good sense to keep you out of politics if you can't even remember if you wiped your ass. Instead, he's their political hero. If that's not a cult, I don't know what is.
