Reply #235: No, that's not being cultish

[lwcon]

See examples around the thread of the kind of cultish behavior that have been a big turnoff to those of us who may become reluctant supporters of Obama in November.

As I said in the OP, this criticism is aimed at the subset of Obama supporters who are creepy about it. People who call him our "savior," who think (like he does) that he's on a mission from God, that he's on par with Martin Luther King, Jr., and that he's 100% beyond reproach. People who think that "hope/change/unity" is a magic incantation. People who freak out at dissent about The Anointed One (but who think nothing of trashing the Clintons by any means possible)

They're out there, and they're scaring us.
