Reply #38: Obama cult, Dean cult..........I said it was continuing pattern. Came from Hillary campaign.

Meant to hurt both. It is along the same lines as the meme that Dean does not have the ability to control the situation.

Turns out a lot of the cult stuff was coming from Sidney Blumenthal...former Salon writer and present Hillary advisor.

Clinton’s camp has been circulating stories criticising the “cult” of Obama in the hope of portraying “Obamania” as a mass delusion. Media Matters, a watchdog organisation sympathetic to Clinton, compiled a report headlined, “Media figures call Obama supporters’ behaviour ‘creepy’, compare them to Hare Krishna and Charles Manson followers”.

It was forwarded by Sidney Blumenthal, a top Clinton adviser, to select reporters. The campaign entered a nasty phase last week with the determination of Clinton’s team to revive delegates from the “ghost” primaries of Michigan and Florida, by legal action if necessary.

Note the pattern and don't fall for this crap. There is no cult, there was no cult with Dean....it is geared to marginalize our own. She must be getting desperate.

On edit, I do not think Media Matters supports Hillary. I think it is neutral. But the letter was sent from Blumenthal...
