Default Watch wild-eyed celebs pray to their god Obama

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVi4rUzf-0Q

Surely this is a joke. I can't imagine, especially after the effectiveness of some of the McCain ads about Obama's messianic complex that anyone would think of doing something this ridiculous. If Obama is elected, he'll probably be the biggest letdown imaginable to people like this. Nothing against Obama, he's a politician and not some god figure, and Hollywood needs to realize that. One last funny note is that this song was written by the other guy from the Eurythmics and he's not even American!

No one is praying to McCain or pretending he's anything but a good politician. You have people changing their names to Hussein, starting Obama groups where they discuss how they came to "Him", celebrities praying to Obama, Obama himself making messianic proclamations. Look on youtube and people are calling Obama their "lord and savior". Doesn't this strike you as a little weird?! It's creepy!

Well I agree that is silly but IMO no moreso than praying to Jesus .Allah.Jehovah ,Odin ,Zeus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

"Ick & Bitch" blow monkey balls, so no surprise there...



I thought about voting for Obama, UNTIL Toby "I'm a Democrat" Keith gave Obama his endorsement...And that spells "Kiss of death" (If you paid attention to Toby Keith's track record of backing Democratic candidates, He ALWAYS picks the one who loses - Not good!)

Wished William "KHANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Shatner would run for President (But he is a Canuck) because I COULD believe more in his (acting) of caring for everyone than ANY politician when it is election time.

Satan/Shatner in 2008

I wished a case of "Careeris Suicidis" would occur for this asschunk (Dude, the Dixie Twits OWN ya!)...he definitely fits the term "Okie" (A term I loathe, as do ALL Muskogee residents - Thanks Merle "Never lived in Muskogee - But lived in Checotah for 6 months at the age of 2 years old, But my personal plane did crash in Muskogee killing all my personnel and spilling kilos of coke across Davis Field" Haggard).

Hey, I did love how "Mulletman" kissed ass of his beloved Booner-Gooners (aka OU Sooners) during the National Championship game of 2005 between USC - No sooner than he kissed the Crimson and Cream colored ass (Crimson and Cream is accurate for Blow-U, Because their fans are Red-necks and White-trailer trash) than the Trojans ran off 38 points to SLAUGHTER Blow-U 55 - 19.

Mr.Keith made me "oh so proud" that I drove the 77 miles to Norman (Location of Blow-U) to wear my So.Cal clothing as I shopped (And rubbed it in their FACES!!!)

But he lives there doesn't he? Plenty of other politically conscious people too, like Neil Young. Anyway the guy who wrote Land Down Under was from scotland.

He could never be the letdown the past 8 years has been with Howdy Doody and his facist henchmen leading this country down the tubes.

I don't think you know what fascism is then. Fascism, according to wikipedia, is "an authoritarian nationalist political ideology and mass movement that is concerned with notions of cultural decline or decadence, and which seeks to achieve a millenarian national rebirth by exalting the nation or race, as well as promoting cults of unity, strength and purity" Basically, that is Obama's platform to a T! Michelle Obama gives speeches decrying "middle-classness" and Kucinich was out there saying that government needs to control oil and other such things. Obama is trying to become president to "unite" to overthrow the "decadence" of the profit motive, speculation, etc. The entire democratic convention speeches have been fascist in nature. The word fascism has been hijacked by left-wing radicals that want to suppress free speech. Universal Health Care, as it is government run private enterprise, Fannie May, Freddie Mac, Amtrak, et al are all fascist enterprises by definition, as they are private corporations under direct government oversight.

I wasn't corrected. You made a valiant attempt, but you were far from conclusory. Look up fascism and you'll see that it is left leaning in nature, as were the Nazis.

Revisionist history!

Also, I am never wrong, just ask gldstwmn

Seriously, the current R party and its support of religion over the rule of law is facism. I beleive the wiki article you cite says that in the "Positions on Religion" section

What rock have you been under the past 8 years? That pretty much describes what has been happening in the "good ol' USofA" under this current administration.

I know. But, he'll never admit it He still clings to his belief that the R's are the party of less govt. and less taxes, when recent history demonstrates that is just untrue.
