3. Hersh must get these ideas from DU

The Bushbots as cultists has been a fairly frequent theme in GD.

It's amazing. They don't agree with what Bush is doing on most fronts, but they vote for him "because he isn't a liberal," or even "I dunno, I just did." It's really frightening how people consciously vote for what they despise, and it's cultlike behavior.

Denying the cult means no longer belonging. It also means discarding a total world view and being lost for a while. I guess that's terrifying to people caught up in the cult.

I just hope it doesn't take the US what it took Europe to banish this type of cult.
