Clinton Camp a 'Cult of Sour Grapes"?
because their candidate doesn't generate the kind of excitement, attendance at live events, and registration/turn-out of new voters as does Obama?

It strikes me that the application of the word "cult" to the entusiasm of Obama's supporters is really just sour grapes on the part of Clinton's camp, who thought their candidate had the nomination in the bag and resent the personal charisma of thier opponent. If not a Cult of Sour Grapes, perhaps it's a Cult of Entitlement.

After 7 years of SUFFERING through the horrors of the B*sh administration, why begrudge fellow Democrats their joy at the prospect of better things to come?

I voted for Obama in the primaries but will support our Democratic nominee, be it he or she. Nothing cultish about that.

1. They're just regurgitating Republican propaganda.

Can you think of anything more right-wing than calling some people "cultists"? That could have come right out of Zell Miller's mouth! The same people who call the Obama campaign a "cult" would have said the same thing about JFK and Martin Luther King...they were charismatic speakers, too!

3. I'm referring to those who use the "C- word" to describe
the Obama campaign... there seems to be a great effort by some to turn Obama and his supporters into something bizarre- a "cult".

8. Since Bill got muzzled by their campaign, THIS is how they're
trying to poison Obama's campaign... paint it as something bizarre.

10. It's going to get interesting because, IMO, The Clintons will do *anything* including cheating ...
and lying to win a third term for their Clintonian DLC to staff the Executive Branch.

I've not EVER seen HRC lose. I'd venture to bet that Hillary, like George W. Bush, make truly PISS POOR LOSERS. Their lack of grace upon being told "NO!" could only rival their groupies. :shrug:

If Obama wins, even on the totally "up and up" there's going to be some MASSIVE crying and blowing snot from "Big Dawg" and his cronies within the mighty DLC. :shrug:

11. That's so cute that you think the republicans
started the cult thing.

What's really sad is no matter how many times it's explained you guys don't or won't get it. You brought it on yourselves.

Now, stick your fingers in your ears....la la la la la la la la
