SFChron: Obama is a 'Rare Kind of Attuned Being,' a 'Lightworker'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 6/6/08 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 06/06/2008 7:27:45 PM PDT by Mobile Vulgus

Well, I have come to the conclusion that Mark Morford of the San Francisco Chronicle just threw away the last tiny shred of credibility he might have had left by dreamily imagining that Barack Obama is so omniscient, so "ethereal" and so messiah-like that he isn't a "normal" human being. Maybe Mark thinks he might be an alien from another planet, some trans-dimensional traveler, or maybe an angel come down in human form to lead us sheep into the promised land? I'm not exaggerating either. In his latest piece he calls Obama a "Rare Kind of Attuned Being," a "Lightworker," he says he is "ethereal" and "magical" -- hello Rush Limbaugh -- and feels that Obama is "not really one of us" in the "normal way." Morford and those who feel like him have lost all touch with reality and the sickness is spreading.

I think that columnist Morford is off his medication, or maybe he's just drunk, or perhaps he fell on his head recently? Or perhaps Shirley MacLaine came down off the mothership and stole Mark's computer... something freaky is going on there in San Francisco, anyway. Or maybe what makes me think something weird is in the air out there is just that Morford's latest editorial is one of the most amazing examples of the wild eyed ranting of the most whacked out Obamessiah believers yet to show up in print instead of just on the nutrooter blogs. Instead of appearing in a purportedly legitimate newspaper, this is the fodder for the fantasy land of a Coast to Coast with George Noory. Instead of serious political discussion, this sort of thing belongs on Jerry Springer.

But get ready to see this sort of insane euphoria spread as Obamessiah dons his no lapel flag vestments and deigns to appear before the people who love him unconditionally, uncritically, and uninformed of anything he really stands for.

I won't bore you with his whole, nutty piece, but here are just some of the lowlights of Morford's slavish devotion to the political Svengali that is Barack Obama.

Have you lost your lunch yet? Well, you may not have lost your lunch, but this pseudo religious tripe may be proof that Morford has lost his sanity!

Naturally, Morford had to revel a bit in his Bush Derangement Syndrome and regurgitated several slams against Bush, but the real message of this rambling little editorial was in this one little segment nestled deep in Morford's ranting.

(not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual)

And there you have it. Like most extremists, leftists Morford pretends to stand against religion when all the while he is looking for something man made to replace it. Acting as if he is too smart, too cool for superstitious religion, Morford replaces centuries old teachings with this whacked out, new agie, childishness in this case built on a mere politician. But, even as he creates his newfangled religion, like all leftists, he has to attack everyone else who subscribes to a real religion. He must belittle, degrade and ridicule religious people everywhere.

Of course, Morford realizes how silly he sounds to be as starstruck as a 13 year-old girl that is infatuated with the latest rock-n-roll boy band. He even gets so defensive about it he preemptively calls everyone one who will look at him askance all sorts of names.

This is what I find myself offering up more and more in response to the whiners and the frowners and to those with broken or sadly dysfunctional karmic antennae - or no antennae at all - to all those who just don't understand and maybe even actively recoil against all this chatter about Obama's aura and feel and MLK/JFK-like vibe.

I see, so if you don't "get" the Obamessiah fever you are "sadly dysfunctional"? It seems to me that Morford is working himself up to consider "unbelievers" in the same way Torquemada did in the 15th century! Is Morford too far from burning Obama deniers at the stake?

This sort of unrealistic, deification of Barack Obama is the sort of thing that can easily propel him into the White House. It is also the sort of thing that can cause people to imagine his presidency to have been, in hindsight, a bitter disappointment. What sane person cannot realize the expectations for an Obamessiah are simply impossible for Barack to live up to?

You think Clinton's years in office were retrospectively considered the most wasted opportunity in a life time? Wait until a president Obamessiah turns the big White House key over to a Republican to hear the lamentations of the faithful begin to ring out. The "bitterness" will likely be unbearable.

So, I have an idea. Let's defeat Obamessiah and forego all the gnashing of teeth and wearing of sackcloth that will surely be the result of an Obama presidency!

And if Mark Morford has a nervous breakdown because of it all... well, I don't know about you, but I am willing to risk that happening.

I've found a new mantra that helps calm me down when I start to get worked up about it, and it really seems to help. It's:

Primer, case, powder, bullet.
Primer, case, powder, bullet.
Primer, case, powder, bullet.
Primer, case, powder, bullet.
Primer, case, powder, bullet.

I get the same feeling from him, Salamander. As you said - it’s not “politics as usual”. There is definitely something much, much, more sinister about him and his affect on people.

“This is going to be an unbearable 5 months.”

No doubt... Plus McPain continues to lose me and I have to vote for him..

Sad, I watched Bob Barr on Glen Beck tonight, he’s the rockstar - I wish he was the GOP nom... Or somehow we could move mountains and get a 3rd party elected... dreaming I know.

The Anti-Christ has to come out of eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, western Iran. The Selucid Empire.

Obama is most likely the False Prophet. The Anti-Christ’s henchman.

morford is a vile homo radical from SF that considers Heterosexual couples who have children to be mentally ill “Breeders”. That he looks to “the one” as his god tells me all I need to know.

"I'm less than four months from being debt free. I've got a decent supply of ammo and enough non-perishable food for several months, my car's paid off, and I can shut down my business within a couple-three more months. Then I'm off the grid and heading to Wyoming or Utah - the two most reliably free states in the West."

I already shut down my business and have lots of debt. Other than that, have plenty of ammo and years' worth of dried food and the rest. When TSHTF, I will head into the wilderness here in eastern WA/OR and Idaho thinking of the debt with glee, because it will never be paid and they won't find me.

Don’t be...trying to run from the truth never makes it go away.

I just have to find a good way to deal with this for next 5 months.

[But I do wonder what God thinks of prayers that consist mostly of “Oh please don’t let *him* get elected”, repeated frequently and fervently. I just hope He listens]

Have you noticed the hyper sibilance that he often places on the “s” sound at the end of many words? This bastid is as creepy as a rattler!!!!

I hear you, so do I... I can honestly only handle reading and writing about him a little at a time. If I focus too hard on it all I burn out very fast. That won’t stop me from working against him, but it’s odd for me to be that way.

As for the prayers... A lot of mine have been the same way. Just last night I was praying exactly like that... However, I may not pray about this specific subject right before going to sleep as I ended up dreaming about Barack last night (OK, it was more like a nightmare) - I don’t remember much of it - except that at one point he handed me a night light. There must be some symbolism there... Laughing now, but kinda scary at the same time...

OMG...that’s why I avoid looking him like the plague!

The dream is creepy.

It reminds me of the “messianic” mania.

“The way, the truth and the LIGHT”.

{{{{shudder}}}}

May your dreams be free of such things, in the future.

My thoughts exactly LOL -

I remember how hard it was for me to hear Bill's voice/see his face...it caused the same reaction: fury, frustration, a kind of unclean feeling. With BHO, its just flat out dread. And it isnt just him that makes me feel that way, but all the followers. Randall Flagg indeed...

I never thought of it that way. An interpretation I found online for “nightlight” was; “you have the answer within you”. Kind of odd because I was asking him a question about a word he used in a speech he had just delivered, and his handing me the nightlight was his “answer”. Your insight makes a lot of sense, too... He certainly sees himself as a messiah of sorts - “the one we have been waiting for” - Oprah even refers to him as “The One”. Scary indeed!

ROFL - I LOVED The Stand! LOL And, yes, I will let you know if I do! ;)

You know, through all of this the way I calm myself is by remembering - this is all a part of God’s plan, He is in control - OH, and the good guys win in the end! ;) LOL

Take care and have a good night, Salamander - “signing off” for the time being...

I don’t think I’ve felt that much love for even my own penis.

I don't think I've seen funnier, more apt, more off the wall comment on FR for a long time

Cheers

Thulsa Barack.

"My child, you have come to me my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me?"

“Obama is a ‘Rare Kind of Attuned Being,’ a ‘Lightworker’”

What bullsh#t.

So many stupid people..

If America elects this racist bastard to power, we deserve every EVIL thing we have coming to us.
