His supporters revere in him a messianic sort of way and that's dangerous.

The National Post quoted one woman at a rally saying, Are you kidding me? Id walk over hot coals to vote for this man. I mean, oh, hes just
hes a man that can change not our country, but the world.
The guy's never demonstrated any talent other than talking, yet this lady buys that he's the Second Coming. This is just another reason why we need a current events test in order to vote.

You’re correct, they seem to see him as the second coming. Also to me, it’s scarily similar to Hitler’s rise.

He is a post-Christian theocratic authoritarian leftist. Perhaps Krugman and a few other liberals will look upon the Obama campaign with concern, but the majority of liberal commentators will say nothing as Obama makes the Democratic convention look like a profane charismatic revival meeting.

Sort of what we read in the Bible about how the anti-Christ will be.

This “cult” is on par with the followers of the Reverend James Johnson in Guyana. There was some fainting, long term sleeping but, I do not know if there was any hot coal walkers. Many people died though when they drank an early version of “Jesus” juice....

In the absence of believing in God, the left is looking for its Messiah.

That was Jim Jones. Jones’ church also was noted for transcending racial boundaries, for being “post racial”. When he lived in Indianapolis, then-Mayor Dick Lugar recognized him for his contributions to advancing civil rights in the city. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it also didn’t stop him from being a mass murderer.

I don’t follow the appeal. I suppose I wouldn’t though in that I will invariably choose substance over style. I think everyone in their fervor to see Hillary lose, is overlooking how dangerous this guy really is and will be to the US.
Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it. Remember what we have to stop this rock-star, cult-like support is what the GOP electorate in its infinite stupidity has given us. And that is exactly one John McCain.

You have to ask yourself, when was the last time the leftist liberal media supported anything having to do with religion. Looks like they're trying to lure Christians into supporting this Messiah wannabe. If that doesn't make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up nothing will.
All his campaign stumps look like revival meetings.

It has been surreal watching this.
He never actually says anything in his speeches. His speeches are so vapid, so empty that the listener is allowed to simply project what ever meaning they want to believe onto Obama’s words. So what ever any listener fantasizes about is what they hear Obama promising to do for them. It positively sickening to watch. We really have become this stupid a society.
Never thought I would see a politician that could out slick Slick Willie

Obama and Ahminijad may just get along fine. In his campaign for president, Ahmadenijad took a populist approach, using the catchy slogan, Its possible, and we can do it. Perhaps they can do business as fellow messianic leaders. Either that or they’ll try to nuke each other as rivals.

Sort of what we read in the Bible about how the anti-Christ will be.Thats been my train of thought for quiet sometime.
If others are starting to see this as some sort of worrisome event, his rise to the top of the heap I mean by worshipers instead of voters, it's dangerous territory this country is now passing through. I'm glad others are finally starting to view him as I do.
What will we have to do next, start a stop God campaign against him?

Obama's supporters have definitely turned into a cult. Cults are a dangerous business.
Obama's Jesus juice is more dangerous than Jim Jones', obama has millions of followers.
