Has Bush borrowed a page from Charlie Manson’s manual?

[Cleita]

Charlie Manson’s family gained notoriety for the murder of actress Sharon Tate and her friends. They revealed to an astonished world a cult of young people who slavishly did everything their leader Charlie Manson told them to do, no matter how immoral it was, even murder.

He plied them with drugs and told them to commit sexual acts that they would not have done in straight society. With inhibitions and perhaps brain cells removed, it wasn’t a problem for them when he ordered them to murder innocent people.

It’s also curious that they adopted the Nazi symbol of the swastika for their emblem. Although the Bushbots and dittoheads haven’t done that, they are increasingly becoming blatantly fascist in their words and actions.

So even though it has been suggested that the right wing nuts have drunk the Kool-Aid or suffer from Stockholm syndrome, what is it that gets ordinary Americans to blindly follow the leadership of a group that are nothing more than sociopath criminals?

How do they get the lemming people to do this? How do we scrape the scales from their eyes so they can see the truth and remove these murderers from power?

4. It's worthwile to note...

that Manson first tattooed the crucifix into his forehead, while in prison. His followers repeated the gesture. Once they had, it was then that Manson extended it into the swastika.

Which basically parallels the Bush administration.

6. Actually it wasn't a crucifix, it was an X, he said it was symbolic of him

X'ing himself out of this world or something to that effect. The rest of your account is correct.
