Obamunists or Obamanoids

Friday April 11, 2008

So, I was trying to think of a name to call you Obama kool-aid drinkers and I couldn't think of anything I liked and then I visited Campaign Spot and found out that Frank J. was trying to do the same thing. Talk about great minds and all that.

So, I like Obamunists and Obamanoids. What do you guys think?

Or how about this one: Obamanarians. I kind of like that one. I'm going to have a hard time deciding (I think it will probably come down to which one I'll remember when I'm writing a post).

BTW, for you people who think that we on the right came up with the whole messiah thing, we didn't and we're not the only ones weirded out be it. Here's a lefty Obama supporter:

I'm getting increasingly weirded out by some of Obama's supporters.

On listservs I'm on, some people who should know better – hard-bitten, not-so-young cynics, even – are gushing about Barack, raving about his "game-changing" politics, about his "power to inspire," about how they wept while viewing the now-famous Dipdive video, and on and on... This sounds more like a cult than a political campaign. The language used here is the language of evangelical Christianity – the Obama volunteers speak of "coming to Obama" in the same way born-again Christians talk about "coming to Jesus."
