Obama "cult" status confirmed: 3 am ad girl shakes and cries when meeting Obama

[elixir]

"Knowles, a high school senior at Bonney Lake, Wash., turns 18 next month. She has been campaigning for Obama and attended his rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate's hand."

Apparently, folks don't know that this is a joke so I'll add the little sarcasm thing:sarcasm:

And link to some posts that prompted me to have fun.

1. When you meet the Messiah on the road..................

strange things happen.

[northzax]

29. remember the advice about meeting the buddha on the road?

just as bad of an idea.

[leftofcool]

75. Familiar with the book title but have not read it

[goclark]

31. She is articulate and adorable and a Woman of course

But it's OK to call another woman, and a young White woman at that, a "cult" follower.

:sarcasm:

It's not strange to met Sen. Obama,it is exciting! He is kind,gracious,and very down to earth. He is not phony or mean spirited at all.

That's why so many of the young adults of today are drawn to his campaign. They don't want "yesterday's news ~ they are thinking about TOMORROW.

And I'm with them all the way!

I am an African American woman and I have met Bill Clinton and Obama.

Bill Clinton signed his book for my mother and we were thrilled!

After reading your take on this lovely young lady, I'm selling the book and donating the profits to Obama.

:bounce:


Thanks

[elixir]

37. You take great offense at a post that states the obvious.

[Straight Shooter]

127. Obama's supporters become thin-skinned through osmosis.

It's the most singular defining trait they have.

[Hoof Hearted]

156. Thank goodness it isn't airborne.

[knixphan]

40. that's great!

Well said, and...using Clinton cash to fuel the O-boat, good one!

Si Se Puede.

[dkf]

2. Yeah, no one has ever cried or trembled after meeting Bill or Hillary

unless they were pissed at them.

[redqueen]

3. She's 17. For goodness' sake... go ahead trash her. It says more about you than her.

:puke:

[chill_wind]

10. Beat me to it. n/t

[helderheid]

17. RIGHT ON!

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

32. exactly. By the way... what are they hiding?

[BlackVelvet04]

39. And yet, at the tender age of 17, when

decision making skills are yet to be fully developed, she somehow is supposed to be a great example of Obama voters.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[redqueen]

62. Who said she was a 'great example of Obama voters'?

A few vicious Hillary supporters on this site?

Give me a break.

[BlackVelvet04]

80. Where were you when all the threads were bragging about

her being an Obama supporters? Give me a break.

[redqueen]

87. Little problem with logic there?

Yes, she is an Obama supporter. Does that mean she's a "great example" of one?

*sigh*

[Tarheel_Dem]

63. well at least he didn't fondle her....

we'll leave that sort of activity to the Big Dawg. I'll bet "Monica" shook & trembled, and so did Bill.

[BlackVelvet04]

79. Monica wasn't 17 either.....

and nobody bragged about her voting for Bill....but your RW talking points are duly noted.

[Tarheel_Dem]

89. you get as good you give...

you guys don't want to denigrate young ladies on this board, because there's way too much information ready to be dumped on Big Dog in the coming weeks.

You should be ashamed, with your "WOMEN FOR WOMEN" button exposed. How absolutely vile & hypocritical.

[elixir]

102. Gosh, you sound soo much like FrenchieCat. Are you her? I didn't denigrate a young lady I noted

a young voters response. You turned it into a sexist slam.

[Tarheel_Dem]

115. I was not responding to you, but since you asked...I am not Frenchie

but I've come to admire her greatly, just as I admire the young lady you sought to poke fun at. The Clintons attempted to pimp her in that ad, just as they've pimped Chelsea for SD's, but since this young lady spoke out, the ad has lost some of it's impact, since she actually supports Obama. How utterly pathetic you guys are.

If you care to search, Frenchie and I have had numerous conversations, and we are very like-minded, but thanks for asking....I'm flattered.

[elixir]

131. "Monster" ..oh, did I already say that? "Monster".

[BlackVelvet04]

133. I'm not denigrating her...

I'm acknowledging she is A CHILD without the decision making abilities to choose wisely when it comes to important decisions. That isn't denigrating to women or children, it's a fact.

[Guava Jelly]

144. Never underestimate the intelligence of our youth

If she was pro Clinton I suppose she would be a Genius?
And FYI she has openly stated that if Hillary was the Nominee she would happily vote for her.
Must be the ignorance of youth..:eyes:

[Tarheel_Dem]

150. "And a child shall lead them"

You guys have sunk to new lows on this board. I recall back in '04, a young lady came forward, even younger than the one who's being slammed in this thread; I think her name was Ava, she was a very engaged anti-war activist. She was even a member of this board, and supported John Kerry, and I remeber being so proud of her for taking a stand that even some adults were afraid to take (Hillary being one of them).

I would hate to think that she or the young lady being lampooned here are reading some of the comments you guys have made about "cults", etc. Like Ava, this young lady is engaged at the local level. I even heard on Thom Hartmann that she is a precinct chair for her district. I don't know a lot of older people (myself included)who have been involved at that level, do you? Is this, yet another, part of the "kitchen sink strategy"? Tear down your opponent's supporters, in the hopes that they will become disillusioned and disconnected again? If so, I want no part of these tired old divide & conquer tactics.

Do you remember how utterly insulted we all were when we learned that some rightwing blowhole had called Chelsea "The White House Dog"? Can you imagine the kind of toll that takes on a young person's psyche? They have quite enough issues as it is, and crap like this just compounds those issues.

So far all you old coots & keyboard commandoes, sitting around filling up your Depends, step away from the computer, take a walk, compose yourselves, and come back and ask this young lady's forgiveness? It's the "ADULT" thing to do.

[rodeodance]

92. Rovain tatic to change the subject.!!

I'll bet "Monica" shook & trembled, and so did Bill.

[Tarheel_Dem]

100. not attempting to change the subject, but call you guys on your

attempted slam on a young lady, by labeling her a "cultist"? We'll see how funny you guys think it is when references are made to Chelsea, being the White House "dog". That was repulsive, and so is this.

[rodeodance]

120. you changed the subject

[Tarheel_Dem]

123. you changed your Depends (hopefully)..

You guys should just keep away from certain subjects, and "young women" is one of them. Just sayin....

[elixir]

129. "Monster".

[UALRBSofL]

74. Now this is a true statement

Her cognitive thinking has not developed. The part of your frontal lobe that has the ability to distinguish between everything is about me and I'm invincible-vs-everything is about the group and it's not all about me. At age 17 her frontal lobe has not totally developed. That said, your post brings up a very good argument.

[BlackVelvet04]

82. I find it absolutely incredible

that so many obama supporters have bragged about voting for him because their kids wanted them to. Amazing.

[cali]

95. Nobody has done that. It's simply a flat out lie.

Many people- including me- have said that out kids' enthusiasm about him, got us to take a closer look, and research more about him. My 21 year old son, was very enthusiastic about Obama and that is what got me to give him a closer look. Furthermore, he is by no means an uninformed person, and his reason for supporting Obama are at least as good as most of the reasons people on this board have for supporting their candidate of choice.

[Swamp Rat]

112. Intelligent parents learn from their children.

:)

[BlackVelvet04]

130. Intelligent parents know that children do not have the

decision making skills and knowledge to make decisions of importance like picking a president of the united states.

Intelligent parents lead by example instead of caving to childish whims of popularity.

[Swamp Rat]

143. Yes, parents "lead by example instead of caving to childish whims of popularity."

True. This, however, does not preclude my statement above. :)

Children have incredible intuition. :D

[cali]

53. exactly right

and I'd rather see a young person excited about meeting Obama than some teen idol or sports "hero".

[elixir]

132. Agreed.

[elixir]

128. "Monster".

[redqueen]

135. "Whatever."

4. Too bad Clinton supporters are too shallow to have feelings for their candidate.

[Darth_Kitten]

18. Oh, this is too cute!

n/t

[rodeodance]

30. wonder if they were fake tears??

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

48. You mean like when Clinton cried before New Hampshire?

I really don't think Clinton supporters have much business making fun of people who cry.

[Tarheel_Dem]

66. Monica Lewinsky?

[rodeodance]

85. YOU are wondering off topic

[Tarheel_Dem]

93. i think you meant "wAndering", but you guys should lay off young women

especially Bill.

[berni_mccoy]

107. No. She's really "wondering" what the hell she's going to do when Clinton is defeated.

[Tarheel_Dem]

118. LMAO.....

She is some piece of work...that rodeo...like a bad penny.

She loses argument after argument, but she keeps coming back, just like her preferred candidate.

[elixir]

136. Rodeo is my idol.

[berni_mccoy]

141. I do indeed, have to give her credit for that. She is Tenacious! I'm damn glad she's a Democrat.

[BlueJac]

5. It's better than wetting your pants with every Hillary post!

49. **Don't you know where the restroom is??

It's better than wetting your pants with every Hillary post!

6. I've Heard Pets Often Take On Their Owners Personalities...

Which could explain why some of you HRC supporters lack class & dignity.

[Darth_Kitten]

24. ?????

My pet is personally sweet and cuddly. :)

[elixir]

45. Class and dignity?! It's ridiculous to take offense at this post. It's a joke. Relax.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

65. Rush Limbaugh, is that you? Ann Coulter?

Must be, because they use the "It's just a joke" line all the time after they have said something incredibly offensive.

Attacking 17 year olds now. Real classy.

[rodeodance]

88. typical of an Obamafan to bring RW slim.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

96. You recommended this thread...

and you're whining about slime?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

147. typical of a Hillary fan to bring RW slime.

Such as insinuating a 17 year old girl is a member of a cult because she supports a candidate you don't like, then saying "oh, it was only a joke".

[elixir]

104. OMG, can't attack anyone, hey? You just creating issues to argue.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

145. So it's ok now to attack Chelsea? Good to know.

Nice double standards there.

but for entirely different reasons.

You're even willing to attack children.

51. I am. And you're ridiculous for taking this post seriously. It's a joke but apparently the wounds

Sorry, nice try at backtracking, but no sale.

110. Well too bad, you have it.

You don't have my confidence in your candor, though. :hi:

[Tarheel_Dem]

69. Monica...

[rodeodance]

94. SPAM---3RD time you mentioned that name.

[Tarheel_Dem]

103. does that name bring up bad memories for you? if you guys are

going to mock & attempt to destroy this young lady who is only 17 years of age, who is politically active, but doesn't support your candidate, then I don't think you should have gone there. But since you did...way too much ammunition from your opposition.

If you don't want certain names mentioned on DU, then you guys should check your own behavior, before getting down into the dirt. There's plenty of dirt to go around.

[elixir]

109. "Mock and destroy"...oh, my. You certainly are delusional.

[Tarheel_Dem]

121. No, that would be you...for thinking your o.p. was clever

How's that working out for ya?

Hillary Clinton’s town hall forum in Bridgeton ended abruptly this afternoon after a man in the crowd fainted.

Clinton was in the middle of answering questions when audience members began drawing attention to the man. From the stage, Clinton asked any doctors in attendance to see to the man. None did, but Pattonville paramedics - who were near-by - quickly came to his aid.

The man, who seemed conscious but disoriented, was taken away on a stretcher. Clinton, rather than continue fielding questions, ended the forum in favor of an extended autograph session.

[RamboLiberal]

15. She's 17 years old you Hillbots!

Geez you stoop friggin' low. You're as freakin' low as you candidate!

[Darth_Kitten]

19. Oh, name calling is so like MATURE.

:eyes:

[RamboLiberal]

33. With you Hillbots I've given up being mature

and when OP is calling a 17 year old cause she cries a cult member. I'm sick of this cult meme. Like those of you who still support the crap Hillary is doing to a Democratic candidate not bots and koolaid drinkers for Hillary!

[CyberPieHole]

101. How can you give up what you don't possess?

That's like giving up "beets" for Lent...it doesn't count if it doesn't make a difference.:evilgrin:

[BlackVelvet04]

43. and yet you guys held her up as a shining

example of obama supporters. You can't have it both ways, bucko.

[VolcanoJen]

105. She's 17, and was a precinct captain at her caucus in Washington.

She's now a delegate and can go to her county and state convention, and I personally hope she goes all the way and is elected a National Delegate for Obama. 17 years old!!

I'm happy to hold her up as a shining example of an Obama supporter. You're free to continue mocking her, but I'd be damned proud if she was my kid, or my friend, or my niece, for becoming so politically active and dedicated at such a young age.

[BlackVelvet04]

138. If you want the Democratic party to be lead by children

without the cognitive skills or decision making skills that's your business....I find it rather pathetic, but it's your right.

[VolcanoJen]

148. So, what's your age requirement for joining the Democratic Party?

Should they even be allowed to vote Democratic when they're 18, or should we just hand those voters over to the Republicans?

One day, party activists like you and I will be dead. I want the party to be in good hands when it's no longer our turn to lead.

I was 21 when I worked on my first presdential campaign, just a few years older than "3 AM Girl." I was also a precinct captain, and in the general election was a paid staffer at the state level.

Getting involved in Democratic Party politics at such a young age was a wonderful introduction, and the beginning of a lifetime association of goodwill and accomplishments.

I'm glad I wasn't greeted by people like you when I first became interested in becoming a Democrat, that's for certain. ;-)

[elixir]

58. Geez, ur such a booger. It's a joke. Relax.

[elixir]

111. What has age got to do with it? It's an Obama supporter, that says enough.

[EmilyAnne]

16. Why are you so bitter? What a nasty thing to say.

[Arugula Latte]

20. How pathetic.

Really, you are only making yourself look idiotic by posting stupid shit like this.

26. REC

[grantcart]

27. So attacking the emotions of a 17 year old girl is now part of the

Clinton supporters campaign to degrade this campaign further.

I wonder how many of the posters were upset with the equally tasteless critique of Chelsea Clinton?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

47. Well since her mother endorsed the guy who made the insult, I guess they're not anymore. nt

[grantcart]

68. your antecedents have me confused

whose mother endorsed what guy that made which insult? If you explain that the "they" should become obvious.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

76. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?"

"Because her father is Janet Reno."

A joke he made at a speech a few years ago. And now Chelsea's mother is endorsing him over Barack Obama.

[grantcart]

97. ok without the cliff notes I would never have gotten it.

[elixir]

119. Ha, ha, ha, ... equally tasteless? How is repeating the reaction of an Obama supporter

equal to the ongoing derision by individuals and the media of a 12 year old girl. I didn't say anything negative about this perfectly lovely, intelligent and mature young lady - 3 am ad girl, that is - but YOU decide I'm denigrating her. I'm pointing out the ridiculous spin that this race has created.

[boobooday]

28. I think it is an amazing thing

When our young people are getting so excited over politics and the political process. She isn't swooning over Brittany Spears, she is paying attention to politics and is enthusiastic, and expressing it. Democracy has become COOL, and IMPORTANT, and not a moment too soon.

Young people have seen that it does matter who is in charge. It is their generation that is suffering most of the death and injuries in Iraq, and their generation that is about to inherit this mess of an environment and economy.

The saddest thing about the Obama cult narrative is how it plays into the suppression of democracy. When people are apathetic, they are portrayed as unfit for democracy. Now, when they begin to show enthusiasm, that too is painted as pathological, and a sign that they lack sufficient reason to participate.

[RamboLiberal]

36. And this young lady went out and became a precinct captain

more than many of us who are wasting our time here are doing!

[goclark]

42. Amazing that when Hillary cries that's OK, when a young Woman

cries it's because she is a cult member.

:sarcasm:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

54. Feminists For Hillary But Other Women Are Garbage

It's a club with a lot of members on DU. Did you see the way they trashed Randi Rhondes (who is a DU member BTW) because she dared to criticize the Queen on her show?

To make us think we need somebody wearing the "Daddy Pants" because we aren't good enough to be trusted with our own democracy.

122. Oh, now I'm "killing the youth drive" ... yeah, I'm sure this will make a big dent in it.

:sarcasm:

And if this sad little thread is going to effect anything that you guys are worse off than I thought.

[UALRBSofL]

90. The same guy that wants Obama as his running mate

Seeing Obama endorsed Reagan?

[snappyturtle]

116. Well, said. I'm am encouraged that the youngest voters are

involved in this primary process. :woohoo:

If this is what a political cult is, then I'm all for it. It's a much happier place to be than a political boot camp, which is what I think the Clinton campaign is with it's fighting, back biting (among the advisors),& the promotion of propaganda (Obama is a Muslim, et.al.). It makes a cult look good...almost lyrical in its philosophical proponents. Yes, I am a proud member of Sen.Obama's cult.

[Binka]

124. Post Of The Thread

You need to make this a thread of it's own. The suppression of democracy by deeming support and enthusiasm as pathological is very IMPORTANT. The media and a particular candidate, are framing this debate to make people feel uncomfortable about having hope and wanting to be involved. Then they call the supporters a "cult" to make their support irrelevant. It's as if they are saying "You really don't belong but keep pressing your nose up against the glass and we will let you watch." That is what the "cult" meme reinforces, it establishes that legitimate followers are somehow lunatic fringe "worshipers." I hate it and hope you start a thread concerning this issue. :thumbsup:

56. I guess you Hillbillies have never heard of a guy called Elvis?

Or Backstreet Boys? Were they a "cult"? Women reacted the same to these people. Crying, fainting, swooning.... My niece bawled her eyes out when she got Clay Aiken concert tickets on her 16th birthday(I'd cry too, but for different reasons). I guess Hillbillies are jealous that the most extreme reaction they can muster for their candidate is crapping their Depends.

Beware: The Cult of Hillary


By
Raconteur at Large
Stephen Pizzo

December 6, 2005


No Republican bashing today. Why? Because it's not required. The Republican revolution has is finally petering out, dying a death of a thousand self-inflicted cuts. I said several years ago that the best way to get rid of neo-conservatives is to give them everything they said they wanted. They got pretty much all of what they said they wanted – tax cuts for the rich, welfare cuts for the poor, less environmental restrictions on businesses, free trade, conservative courts, faith-based politics, faith-based education. It began in 1994 with Newt and will come to a grinding stop in November 2006.

That's the good news.

The bad news comes two years later, in November 2008. While Democrats will regain some of their lost power in '06, (with the growing possibility they will even regain at lease one house of Congress,) the party is risking the big prize, the White House in '08.

That risk can be summed up in two words: Hillary Clinton. If Democrats give Hillary the nod in '08 they will lose the White House again -- and this time not by the narrowest of margins, but in a landslide. Why?

Because Hillary is "one of them." There come along from time to time unique personalities that, flawed as they are, attract followers like flies to dung. The likes of Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Rev. Moon, Tom DeLay, George W. Bush. People like them, follow them down the strangest of paths and trust them with their most precious possessions.

This leaves the rest of us watching in disbelief, scratching our heads wondering if maybe we're missing something. How can otherwise functioning, rational, law-abiding folk be attracted to such obvious liars, phonies and connivers? But they are. Always have been and it will always be so. It's truly one of life's great mysteries.

Hillary Clinton is precisely such a person. There's something about the woman that dazzles some people.

I first saw it three years ago while attending meetings with Democrat strategists in Washington. A cell phone would ring. "Mumble, mumble... okay." Click. "I have to go," the recipient would say, adding importantly, "I have to meet with Hillary." A knowing hush would fall over the room. Glances exchanged. Heads nodded. A call had come from on high. Power had touched all in the room. It was as if the image of the Virgin Mary had appeared on that fellow's toasted cheese sandwich.

I called it The Cult of Hillary.

last year, I had dinner with Terry Jones of Monty Python fame. I was really impressed. I didn't cry, but then again, I'm not a 17 year old girl meeting the next president of the most powerful nation that has ever existed.

73. Give me a break--she's a teenager!

Do you have any teenagers? Have you ever gone to a teen-oriented music concert? Have you seen the way they react to an idol?

She's acting very normal and not "cultish" at all!

[MadBadger]

77. Of course we cant tell its a joke...You guys have been calling us cultists for weeks.

[redqueen]

91. "I'm sorry you took offense at what I said"

Don't you love that kinda shit?

:rofl:

106. Who are you kidding with the sarcasm smiliey?

You're telling me that in spite of your support for Hillary this post is now supposed to be taken as a joke? A little lighthearted humor among Democrats? Funny that until you started getting slapped down for hammering on the emotions of a 17 year old girl your thread had no indications of being "sarcastic". You want to see what real sarcasm looks like?

"We are all cult members. More than half the Dems in America are brainwashed by the Obama cult. Du has lost many of it's friends to the Obama cult. Friends like Olbermann, Maddow, Rhodes, Shultz, Hartmann, Malloy, Seder, all lost to the horrors of the cult brainwashing by Barak Hussein Obama. If this man wins the presidency America will be nothing but a bunch of drooling Obamatons, Obamaites, and Obamanoids, wandering the streets mumbling to themselves "we beat the monster" into their bottles of MD 20/20.

See, sarcasm.

117. You are dead to me walldude!

:D

[walldude]

153. Yeah well, get in line

ever since I threw my support behind Obama I've been killed more times than Kenny on South Park.

edit: LMAO.. I just saw the "Dead to me now" thread... not sure what's funnier, the anger from the Hillary people or the Obama supporters who read it and thought he was serious..

[elixir]

126. How is this hammering emotions. Apparently, Obama supporters can sling it but they can't take it.

[walldude]

152. LOl.. yeah whatever, you use a 17 year olds crying

as a way to claim that Obama supporters are cult members, then you change your mind and claim that it's all just a joke, and now you want to say that Obama supporters can take it but can't dish it out. If I wanted to argue with a third grader I'd wait till my kids got home from school.

and BTW I've been an Obama "supporter" for all of 5 days. Right after Hillary threw him under the bus. Up till then I'd been sending both of them money, and she'll still get my vote if she wins the nod.

134. I saw her interview on CNN this a.m.

I think she has a crush on Obama. She's 17.

151. Meh. 17 year old girls cried meeting the Back Street Boys too.

and shook and cried for Elvis and the Beatles and probably meeting Hannah Montana. At least crying over meeting a possible President of the free world makes a little more sense that being ecstatic over a music star.

Besides the trembling could have been related to social anxiety or a form of STAGE FRIGHT. A have a work colleague whose voice and hands shake when speaking to our CEO - it's not that he has a cult admiration for him - it's that he gets very nervous and shaky in public.

154. well, if the shoe fits... nt
