Hero worshipper--the new slur against those who think Obama played this well.

[trumad]

Really---is that where it's going?

Well I say bring it on!

[leftynyc]

1. Being wrong

has turned many DUers in cranky little whiners. They sure showed their true colors the past few days.

[Liberal Veteran]

2. I'm more of a bemused bystander waiting patiently with a tape measure.

Just in case the opposing sides ever decide it might just be easier to dispense with the formalities.

[HappyMe]

3. Meh.

Some are howling because they were just plain wrong. They were so damn sure bombs were going to rain down and tanks would be rolling.

[FLyellowdog]

4. I confess...

BHO is my hero and I do worship him...if only from afar.

[ZombieHorde]

5. I don't agree with the name calling,

but I do strongly suspect President Obama bent to public pressure, which is good.

[Whisp]

6. I believe he knew very well what the public pressure would be

this wasn't done in a week, it was a long process of about a year or more of manoevering and baiting and all that tricky stuff that he seems to do really well to get the best he can for an end result.

he is no bloodthirsty warmonger like some here hope

[trumad]

8. I believe strongly that he listened

Which in mho is why the dude is the best.

Oh God...I just hero worshiped.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Obama has hurt their feewings again

[CakeGrrl]

9. And "cult of personality" is making a comeback today too!

Signs of people who are not happy that the 'lying warmonger' didn't fufill their lowest expectations of him.

Yes. DO bring it on.

[SidDithers]

14. "didn't fufill their lowest expectations of him"...

that's it exactly. Well said.

Sid

[VanillaRhapsody]

22. I kept telling them...Do NOT underestimate him...

they didn't listen to me either....

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. They've been running with "worshipper" for months, if not years

Today they're choking on giant buckets of Haterade.

And I'm loving every minute of it.

[jaysunb]

31. While they were "worshipping Snowden,Greenwald and Assanage.

Go figure

[Pretzel_Warrior]

11. If you want a TRUE HERO to worship

[HappyMe]

16. ....

[Pretzel_Warrior]

19. I will never tire of posting these Vlad pics

[VanillaRhapsody]

23. Putin was Aquaman?

who knew?

[hrmjustin]

12. Well I guess I am a hero worshipper then.

[Rex]

13. Either you are a hero worshipper or you are an Obama hater.

Seems the narrative doesn't fit for anyone else that might think about every single issue and have a different opinion on each.

[malaise]

15. All is know is that the neo-cons have been royally and publicly fugged

and that is historic on its own. That's also good enough for me

[lamp_shade]

17. Me?

Lotsa pissed off people on DU today. Hah!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

21. love yur animation. lol.

[mwrguy]

18. You can imagine what slurs they use against Obama

when not posting on here.

[VanillaRhapsody]

25. Why yes...yes I can!

[noiretextatique]

45. look...i am black, and i am not a worshipper of any politician

and I find this racism b.s. offensive. people can have strong opinions against Obama and not be racists. on the other hand, people can claim to love Obama and be racists.

[sibelian]

20. So, first the position is "bomb Syria"...

... the opposition to which is "no there needs to be a diplomatic solution"...

then there IS a diplomatic solution...

And those who were originally pushing for bombing are pointing at those who preferred the diplomatic solution and saying that they are refusing to admit that they were in the wrong.

That's actually very weird.

Their guy, who wanted to do the bombing, can't anymore through having been circumvented by another agency... but... no.... actually it was his idea all along... and he's cleverer than everyone.

What would YOU call a person who propounds such things?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

24. difficult concept for you. No diplomatic effort would be occurring were it not for

ships amassing on the eastern side of the Mediterranean.

[VanillaRhapsody]

26. THAT is utter bullshit....I was here...you seem to forget...

that is most decidely NOT what happened...not by a long shot.

Do I need to remind you the things I was called for following the smartest man in the room?

Sucks when the dude you thought was sooooo incompetent...proves you were the incompetent one doesn't it?

[Union Scribe]

43. Yep.

Obama wound up in our camp (not by first preference, but still) and now the hawks are all claiming they were here all along and that it is, actually, their camp. I can't say I've ever seen more delusion in a group of DUers than I have in the last few days.

[Warpy]

27. It beats "peace Puritan" from the pro war ranters.

The pro war contingent here are bound to be upset.

[last1standing]

28. I'm glad things seem to be working out and I'm happy for Obama to take credit.

But many of the responses in this thread prove that the hero worship of Obama is out of control. Many worshippers are so insecure in themselves they need to hate the infidels in order to feel better.

[madamesilverspurs]

29. Nah,

it ain't just Syria. Any time you refuse to join in throwing Obama under the nearest bus you get tagged with that slur (or any of several others). Consistent, but annoying.

[DontTreadOnMe]

30. Never bet against Obama

Chalk this up for a win.

[Lifelong Dem]

32. Many are not happy unless they have something to complain about with Obama

It's pretty obvious. Taking Syria's outcome and spinning it into a failure is really stretching things. All to find something to complain about.

[Eddie Haskell]

33. The seven layer chess crowd?

[TroglodyteScholar]

34. So you think the admin planted Brennan's question to Kerry?

That's giving them a lot of credit IMO...

[Posteritatis]

35. Generally, anyone who tosses the term "worshipper" around doesn't warrant attention anyway

It's one of those (depressingly many) terms that translate as "I'm not interested in discussing anything, just attacking anyone who disagrees with me," so I just assume there's no point in engaging with 'em.

[kestrel91316]

36. Sheesh. Some days when I come here of late I think I have mistakenly gone to

FR.

[OilemFirchen]

37. Three thousand words

[zappaman]

41. BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!

Here's a real hero much better than the 3 losers you posted...

[Kingofalldems]

38. You Better Believe It.

[toddwv]

39. That smells a bit to close to right-wing for comfort.

Makes me wonder about some people on this site...

[n2doc]

40. And you call us stupid.

I do think Obama made the most of an opportunity. I give him full credit for that. I hope like hell this averts war and bombings. But I don't believe he 'had this planned exactly like this for months' and I don't believe he is this super-intelligent perfect being.

Perhaps the belittling can stop from both sides now. Or perhaps not.

[joeybee12]

42. #1, it's not new...I think the term delusional is new, though...

#2...and that is very, very appropriate

[Scurrilous]

44. K & R
