You've heard, haven't you, about the epidemic of faintings at Obama rallies? Not sure how many times its happened .. four, maybe five. But what is going on here? Well, you know the answer to that question, don't you? It's mass hysteria. Obama is the new Beatles. Women get so overcome with emotion upon seeing their idol that the excitement just overtakes them and they faint.
I would love to get one of these fainting females and, after they've had a nice meal and a few deep breaths, ask them a few questions:
What does Obama stand for? And don't say "hope and change." Those are non-answers. Can you tell me two specific policy initiatives Obama has proposed? See if you can get past national health care and higher taxes on the evil rich. Name three Obama accomplishments --- and being elected Senator doesn't count .. there are 99 others in office right now who pulled that one off. What would you get from the fainters? They would sit there like brook trout, their mouths hanging open and gills gently flapping in the current while they tried to figure out an answer that wouldn't make them appear more ignorant than they already do.
What is Barack Obama? At this point he's not much more than a campaign speech.
Hysteria and emotion .. now that's the way to elect the leader of the free world.
But there have also been faintings at Hillary rallies! What is the cause of those copycat faintings?
Hysteria and emotion.... employed in every Democrat decision!
Further proof that vast numbers of the American people are idiots.
Shock & disbelief. They could have turned to stone........
An ability to give mesmerizing speeches and a high level of personal charisma, coupled with a national-level hysteria for “change” is how Herr Hitler got elected Chancellor of Germany “back in the day”.
Like Obama, he too was a proponent of National Socilaism.
Teddy Chappaquiddick is also a Senator.
Oooh, but Obama is sooo cute and someone made a video for him! Just think if he would only sign on the Breck Girl as his VP!!!
Liberals have the emotional maturity of teenage girls, and they react to Obambi in the exact same way ealier generations reacted to Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles.
This is a really nice, poetic image, I have to say!
The Seinfeld campaign about nothing...
fake faintings?
Jim Jones was the very model of a socially-conscious anti-capitalist leader.
And he stood with his people better than Pol Pot stuck with his; right to the electric Koolaid acid-test!
I’d have less trouble with socialist death cults if only the b*stards who founded them died, and not just the afflicted population.
I could cheerfully attend the funerals of short-lived socialists every day of the week. Well, not winter Saturdays - those are for HNIC!
Excellent point. I'd like to expand upon that:
Bubba Clinton - a Presidency about nothing
Hillary Clinton - a Senatorship about nothing
Liberalism - an ideology about nothing
Dhimmocrats - a political party about nothing
WayneS, that is EXACTLY what I keep thinking — personal charisma, mesmerizing speeches, THOSE are what Hitler used. And people bought it.
It is chilling.
Somebody on Rush last week compared the hysteria to the Peter Seller’s character in the movie Being There. Excellent comparison.
