To Paraphrase Mohandas Gandhi

[RetroLounge]

I like your Obama, I do not like your Obama-Supporters. Your Obama-Supporters are so unlike your Obama.

Not all, but most of those that are here.

That is all.

3. What makes you think they are not like their Obama?

I think they are very alike.

4. I would say the assholery is pretty evenly divided.

And I sure wish both sides would chill and stop flinging poo. But then, the people in hell want ice water, too.

5. Because flaming and baiting a group of DUers is oh so encouraged.

:eyes:

Thanks for proving you're above the frey.

8. I'm actually an Obama Supporter

10. That is really sick.

Please do not equate Obama to Christ.

:puke:

[Cronopio]

11. It wasn't comparing Obama to Christ.

It was comparing Obama followers to pseudo-Christians. In many cases, I think the comparison is valid.

Same goes for many Clinton followers. Politics has displaced religion as the new opiate of the masses, with the same collective delusions, cult behavior, and fickle betrayal of any appointed leader who fails to manifest the requisite miracles on demand.

[LWolf]

13. It's true

that there is an uncomfortably close parallel between some of Obama's followers and the weakest of the faithful; those that need a leader to believe in, and who follow worshipfully without ever questioning doctrine.

It's true that some Obama supporters are not content with supporting his candidacy or his politics, but seek to make him something more. That's the part I :puke: at, and that's what I interpreted the OP to be.

It's interesting that you interpreted it differently. I'll have to go back and read through the thread to see how many different interpretations there are.

[RetroLounge]

15. It was more meant mocking those who do make him

into the messiah...

:hi:

[LWolf]

16. THAT I understand.

Consider the :puke: for those that you were mocking. ;)

[RetroLounge]

14. Yes, it goes the same for both sides

that is true.

:hi:

[goldcanyonaz]

17. I'm starting to think that Obama is just like his supporters.

[RetroLounge]

18. Then you would be wrong.

Just like Hillary is not like hers.

19. Projection.

[RetroLounge]

20. How so?

As an Obama supporter myself, what am I projecting?

Oh, or were you looking for a one-word reply, as snarky as yours?

Ok, uhm, Denial!

[baldguy]

22. I do not like Hillary & I do not like Hillary-supporters. They are exactly the same.

[RetroLounge]

23. Took you all day to come up with that nugget?
