Noted imbecile Mark Morford: Obama is a “Lightworker,” an “enlightened being”

Via LGF. Ace mocks it as an especially Morfordesque example of Morford’s oeuvre, which does indeed embrace so many conservative stereotypes of the San Francisco liberal as to make one wonder if he’s not doing it for attention, but is his logic here really that off base? Liberals might reasonably favor Obama for his policy positions but how else do you explain, say, Doug Kmiec’s incoherent affection for him but in precisely these terms? No experience, no particularly impressive displays of judgment save for Iraq, which is itself being diminished daily by his surge naysaying, nothing at all to commend him really except his youth, his rhetorical ability, his uniquely American racial background, and the fact that he craps honey and flowers and communes with the cherubim and seraphim on a celestial plane attainable only by him. The great punchline of the election is the left’s incessant whining about the dearth of media coverage of substantive issues (most pointedly in the ABC debate) as backdrop for a nominee who is where he is based almost entirely on personality and “identity.” Morford’s language is more flowery than most Obama supporters would be comfortable with, but how is his logic significantly different from theirs?

No, it’s not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn’t have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.

Dismiss it all you like, but I’ve heard from far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who’ve been intuitively blown away by Obama’s presence – not speeches, not policies, but sheer presence – to say it’s just a clever marketing ploy, a slick gambit carefully orchestrated by hotshot campaign organizers who, once Obama gets into office, will suddenly turn from perky optimists to vile soul-sucking lobbyist whores, with Obama as their suddenly evil, cackling overlord.

Here’s where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare. And this why he is so often compared to Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to those leaders in our culture whose stirring vibrations still resonate throughout our short history.

The boldface is mine, the itals are all Morford’s. Never forget, the guy who wrote these words is precisely the type who, in the same breath, can deride conservatives as being soft-headed and overly inclined to hero-worship in contrast to his own bad-ass, irreverent, liberal self, and then turn around and call Barack Obama a “Lightworker” who’s going to change human consciousness. I take him and most of the rest of Obama’s supporters roughly as seriously as I do the girls shrieking themselves into unconsciousness in Beatles concert footage. And I say that as a devout Beatlemaniac myself.

but rather, a potential source of such meaning for his supporters. In a time like ours when there is no obvious and immediate threat to our physical existence, ultimate questions come begging at our sleeve to be answered.

That “meaning” is forming an Obama Nation (that yes, would be an abomination).

Obama wants to use racism (people voting for him because of his skin color, without any true understanding of the Marxist Dreams of His Father) in order to form a more Socialist Union.

We live in a strange and sad time when secularism has hollowed out confidence in the traditional answers to the great questions of life.

The great questions of life cannot be answered with secularism.

Red Pill on June 6, 2008 at 8:19 PM

To be so ungrounded, as many Americans are, in a faith in anything greater than your own appetites and interests is bound to evoke anxiety, even dread. Obama implicitly addresses himself to that existential condition.

Human beings were created by God with an innate need to seek Him. When people don’t know the true God, they will try to fill that void with false Gods. Sometimes it’s drugs, sometimes sex, sometimes it’s Barack Obama.

As for John McCain, more invocations of “service to country” are not going to cut it.

Especially when Vietnam veterans who were considered “good guys” last election have this to say about John McCain.

Life has meaning to John McCain. Let him tell us why, in his own style, even if he must preface the discussion by admitting that to speak so personally makes this old-fashioned man uncomfortable.

Old-fashioned men are not uncomfortable talking about Jesus Christ.

I wonder what his spiritually advanced friends thought of his column. Deep down, even Morford must have been a little embarrassed about the New Age love-letter he was about to write.

RightOFLeft on June 6, 2008 at 8:25 PM

The military has its unique idiom for discussing matters of spirituality, a way of communicating that’s available to McCain.

I’ve never served in the military, so I wouldn’t know from first-hand experience.

But both my father-in-law and my brother served in the Navy, and neither of them ever talked about “the military has its unique idiom for discussing matters of spirituality”.

The gesture of opening himself up, telling us candidly what he believes beyond Social Security or health-care reform could go a long way toward giving his unenthused admirers reason to care about him. We would admire him, then, not for what he did at the Hanoi Hilton 40 years ago

But was he at the Hanoi Hilton the entire time?

McCain’s POW experience is unique. His communist captors considered him the “crown prince” of U.S. POWs because his father, Adm. John McCain, was commander of all U.S. forces fighting in Vietnam. Because the communists believed he was from a “royal family” and would when finally released return to the United States to an important military or government job, they held him for two years in “solitary confinement.”

In February, Reuters news reported that McCain’s former captors are expressing delight in the news of his nomination as Republican party Presidential candidate. “In the past Senator McCain has conducted activities that had a positive impact in bringing the two nations [Vietnam/United States] closer. That is a point that Vietnamese people who follow the current affairs do recognize,” said retired North Vietnamese Colonel Nguyen Van Phuong, representing retired and present members of the Vietnamese communist military.

Since McCain was first elected to Congress 1982 (and later to the Senate), he and his staff have expended tens of thousands of hours pushing U.S. legislation favoring communist Vietnam. In 1995, McCain stood with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. to give President Bill Clinton valuable political cover he needed to disregard the issue of missing U.S. POWs in Vietnam and remove the U.S. trade embargo against Vietnam.

No U.S. POW had any communication with McCain or knew where he was being held during at least 8 to 12 months of McCain’s first two years of captivity. He has either been unable or unwilling to account for the months he was missing from the POW system.

Red Pill on June 6, 2008 at 8:29 PM

but for the quality of his soul now.

John McCain sold his soul in the Keating savings and loan scandal a long time ago. He’s selling his soul now to the Socialist agenda of amnesty and AGW taxes.

“Jesus is MY Lord” doesn’t cut it…that implies that he is your Lord, but not Lord of all.

Those “veterans against McCain” stem from McCain closing out investigations into alleged POWs/MiAs not repatriated from Vietnam. There were a whole lot of scamsters making a living by getting the hopes of families up by parading pictures of missionaries in Laos in front of them, claiming they were their lost family members.

By the early 80s, Vietnam returned everybody they could. It was literally a jungle out there. If a soldier or Marine died along with everybody who knew where said soldier went, the body was not recovered, and the jungle has likely reclaimed it. McCain lent his credibility on the issue to say that all POWs from Vietnam had been repatriated, and relations could again open with Vietnam. Some have never forgiven him for this.

Sekhmet on June 6, 2008 at 8:51 PM

Could somebody please tell me why we have supposedly intelligent people fawn over a man whose only credentials are that he is black , well articulate and well educated and whose campaign is based on change and nothing else . He frightens me because he reminds me of a historical figure that had the same gift and a lot of intelligent people fell for it hook , line and sinker to the world’s regret . This man’s version of change would be disasterous for the US and the world so much so that Americans of all ethnicity will never vote for a black candidate for president again . I would rather prefer a Powell and a Rice than this pompous fool .

Lucy Ramirez has some more documents for Dan Rather, and for Red Pill, apparently.

She cited as evidence for Hopper’s charges a 1973 article by McCain that ran in U.S. News and World Report and what she said were “declassified U.S. military documents” she claimed to possess describing McCain’s collaboration. Patty Hopper said she was away from her Arizona home and could not fax those documents.

But the 1973 article does not back up the charges made in the flyer. It provides the same basic account as McCain’s book, corroborated by Timberg’s book, which was based on interviews with many POWs.

Timberg, Day and Swindle noted that McCain, the son of a Navy admiral, was offered an early release from the prison but refused so that he could adhere to the military’s code of conduct.

Timberg said he was perplexed by the allegations.

“Why do they hate him? There can be lots of issues you disagree with him about. But why try to destroy him?”

Because of the seriousness of the charge, the utter absence of evidence and the clear intention to harm McCain just days before a critical Republican primary, we find this claim to be Pants on Fire wrong.

LimeyGeek on June 6, 2008 at 8:51 PM

Exactly.

Red Pill on June 6, 2008 at 9:56 PM

“I’m rooted in the Christian tradition,” said Obama, who has declared himself a Christian. But then he adds something that most Christians will see as universalism: “I believe there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.”

Falsani correctly brings up John 14:6 (and how many journalists would know such a verse, much less ask a question based on it?) in which Jesus says of Himself, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” That sounds pretty exclusive, but Obama says it depends on how this verse is heard. According to Falsani, Obama thinks that “all people of faith — Christians, Jews, Muslims, animists, everyone — know the same God.” (her words)

If that is so, Jesus wasted his time coming to Earth and he certainly did not have to suffer the pain of rejection and crucifixion if there are ways to God other than through Himself.

Here’s Obama telling Falsani, “The difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and proselytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that if people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior, they’re going to hell.” Falsani adds, “Obama doesn’t believe he, or anyone else, will go to hell. But he’s not sure he’ll be going to heaven, either.”

Here’s Obama again: “I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. When I tuck in my daughters at night and I feel like I’ve been a good father to them, and I see that I am transferring values that I got from my mother and that they’re kind people and that they’re honest people, and they’re curious people, that’s a little piece of heaven.”

Any first-year seminary student could deconstruct such “works salvation” and wishful thinking. Obama either hasn’t read the Bible, or if he has, doesn’t believe it if he embraces such thin theological gruel.

Obama can call himself anything he likes, but there is a clear requirement for one to qualify as a Christian and Obama doesn’t meet that requirement. One cannot deny central tenets of the Christian faith, including the deity and uniqueness of Christ as the sole mediator between God and Man and be a Christian. Such people do have a label applied to them in Scripture. They are called a “false prophet.”

No one’s buying your claims of being a Christian Ubamaba…

We all know what your REAL religion is.

And it’s not a new concept.

In fact, it goes all the way back to the founding of our Christian nation.

The first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court recommended doing so:

Providence [God] has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.

I’m Pro-Choice. Pro-Christian-Choice, that is.

I prefer Christian candidates.

It my privilege, interest, and duty to do so.

Red Pill on June 6, 2008 at 10:03 PM

Nothing good will come from this…

ronsfi on June 6, 2008 at 10:09 PM

I prefer Christian candidates.

You see, the Demoncrats realize that they lost the 2004 election because of the strong Evangelical turn out in support of our born-again Christian President. Bush got a greater percentage of the popular vote than any Democrat Presidential candidate has received in the last 40 years. (The Demoncratic Socialists love the popular vote, so that statistic drives them up the wall!)

Obama’s “spirituality” is a new thing. Go back and look whether or not he acted like a Messiah to win his US Senate seat in 2004. He didn’t.

The whole thing now is to try to fool Evangelicals. God told us, in the Bible, that this would happen:

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Matthew 24:24

Red Pill on June 6, 2008 at 10:10 PM

But the elect that Jesus is referring to, are the tribulation saints, that are in the world after the Holy Spirit(and the believers who are filled with Him) is taken out of the world. (the rapture)

Without the Holy Spirit, they do not have the gift of discernment.

Satan always and invariably reveals himself to the Spirit filled discerning believer.

Such as this:

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker,

The enemy can’t help revealing himself to us..

We know the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and so, the person spewing his “advanced spiritual wisdom”, while simultaneously disavowing the fear of the Lord, is prophecying nothing but satanic lies.

SaintOlaf on June 6, 2008 at 10:31 PM

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Obama isn’t showing great signs and wonders.

Heck, he rarely shows up for work. As soon as he gets one job, he starts campaigning for another.

Okay, I take it back. It is a wonder that he’s made it this far on a job history that’s 80% campaigning and 20% voting to the left of John Kerry.

Sekhmet on June 6, 2008 at 8:51 PM

It’s much bigger than that. A very close friend of mine, who I have known since 1991, served as a Marine in Vietnam. Since returning home, he has spent close to the last 40 years of his life actively investing his time and money into the POW-MIA effort. He personally attended the meetings that John Kerry and John McCain held in regards to the POW-MIA issue.

Doesn’t it tell you something when John Kerry was 1/2 of that two man team? What the hell was John F’ing Kerry doing representing our soldiers and their families? It was an outrage! And the thing is, John McCain walked lock-step with John Kerry. Doesn’t that tell you something? John McCain has been quoted saying that he “hates the gooks”. That was political posturing, believe it or not. A picture tells a thousand words, and look at the ~~hate~~ love in John McCain’s eyes in the pictures of him with North Vietnamese.

McCain was “coincidentally” involved in one of the biggest Navy disasters ever: the fire on the flight deck of the Forrestal.

McCain has also shown a severe lack of character in how he treated his first wife – the woman who waited for him to return got dumped shortly after he returned:

When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. Carol McCain, once a model, had been badly injured in a car wreck in 1969. The accident “left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she gained a good deal of weight.” Despite her injures, she had refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

But, just a couple years later, McCain, while pondering a future in politics, met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 — just a month after dumping his crippled wife and securing a divorce.

Excellent job.

Obama’s own words show that he has no understanding of, or belief in, the following Bible verses, which are central to anyone who is truly a follower of Jesus Christ:

Confess Christ Before Men

Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 10:32

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 14:6

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9

LIGHTWORKERS RELATIVES OWNED SLAVES

THE maternal ancestors of Barack Obama, the Democrat who hopes to become America’s first black president, once owned slaves, genealogists have revealed.

As the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, the background of Obama, who went to a school in Indonesia, was already considered exotic.

According to the genealogists, George Washington Overall, Obama’s great-great-great-great grandfather, owned two slaves, a 15-year-old girl and 25-year-old man, who were listed in the 1850 Kentucky census. Another maternal ancestor owned two older slaves.

The Lightworker said those were not the relatives he knew:

In his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, Obama referred to family rumours that his relatives had links to both sides during the civil war, but he did not know he had slaveholding ancestors. Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Illinois senator, said it showed his relatives were “representative of America”.

You miss the point. I have never worshipped Mike Huckabee. If NC’s primary had been in January, I would have voted for Fred Thompson.

It was not until the Holy Spirit told me on February 7th (and I shared here just after midnight February 8th here as a “prediction”) that I started looking into Mike Huckabee and trying to put the puzzle pieces together.

I didn’t ask God to make Mike Huckabee the next President of the United States. He, in the form of the Holy Spirit, told me. There is a big difference. A very big difference.

You wonder if this is even possible. Yes, it is.

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

John 16:13

Is this for my glory? No.

Is this for Mike Huckabee’s glory? No.

This is for God’s glory.

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

I’m probably quickly becoming public enemy #1 of the Demoncratic Socialist Communists. That’s spiritual warfare, too. But I choose the word of God as both my offense and my defense:

Offense:

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12

Defense:

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.

Yes. If this woman had tried to defend herself with a gun, she would have ended up as dead as the 3 other people the guy shot that day. Instead, she witnessed to him about Jesus Christ, and look how it turned out….

Yes.

Most of the modern-day “progressive” philosophy was taken whole-hog from the “UFO Contactee” movement of the immediate post-World War Two/Korean War period. The terms “Lightworker”, “Enlightened Being”, “Transformational Change”, and so on are all very typical dialogue from “Contactee” literature of the period.

Instead of “The God Delusion”, he should have written “The Alien Delusion”!

You see, the Demoncrats realize that they lost the 2004 election because of the strong Evangelical turn out in support of our born-again Christian President. Bush got a greater percentage of the popular vote than any Democrat Presidential candidate has received in the last 40 years. (The Demoncratic Socialists love the popular vote, so that statistic drives them up the wall!)

The Democrats learned from this and adjusted their strategy. They succeeded in 2006 because they ran “Blue Dog” Democrats who ran as pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, etc. while at the same time stupid Republicans were distancing themselves from President Bush (just as McCain is doing now). That’s a recipie for failure, and so far McCain is following it.

If McCain wants to defeat Obama he’s going to need Huckabee’s help.

Now, my saying that is not a lack of faith in the prophecy. I said that from John McCain’s perspective.

Here’s where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

This moron is at least half a bubble off plumb!!
This is classic, classic New Age-Oprah-Pot-Induced-Mumbojumbo-Hippie-Pagan-Tree Hugging cr@p!!!
Look Yoda, save it for Luke, the Wookie and Harrison Ford after a few rounds of highballs. I am sorry, but hearing this kind of BS just makes me want to break a few Commandments, and the very heavy stone tablets they are inscribed on, over his aluminium foil encased cranium. What next, will the Obamamessiah walk on water AND talk to Iran, North Korea, China, and the aliens we have on ice in Area 51 at the same time so the world, nay the galaxy, can be saved in time for us as a species to evolve toward becoming Barrackimids? Help us evolve? What, Barry O bin Laden is now some divine catalyst that will speed up our “evolution” towards some uberstate of mind and body and soul and give us universal healthcare from now friendly Iranian mullahs with pharmaceuticals made in Cuba that heal and cleanse and get rid of wrinkles? Evolution needs a catalyst!?! There’s a concept! Why, why why are these utter morons allowed to vote, or operate motor vehicles for that matter.

Get this guy a padded cell.

I’ll stick to the Jewish carpenter described by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Obama:

~~An Olympics in Chicago~~ My winning the Presidency “will be a capstone of the success we’ve had over the last couple of decades in transforming Chicago into not just becoming a great American city but a great world city,’’ said Obama. “Not just a city that works but a city that is inspired, a city that is creative, a city that is about change, a city that’s about the 21st century, that reflects the diversity that is the strength of America.”

It sounds like Chicago would be the Capitol of the Socialist States of America.

Red Pill, as I recall from the day you were banned, the reason was thread spamming.

I offer this as constructive criticism.

(1) This site is not a substitute for your blog. If you have extended comments to make, make them there, and link back (with brief quoting) here so those who aren’t interested don’t get lost looking for non-Red Pill comments.

(2) If you post more than three contiguous comments, it’s not a conversation; it’s a monologue.

(3) If you post more than 10 in a row, you’re spamming.

Inquiring minds want to know, is the Obama aura the same aura that Ahmedinejad claims surrounded him while speaking at the United Nations?

Maybe that’s why Obama’s in such a hurry to talk to Ahmedinejad. You know, one Messiah to the other?

I’m already preparing for two sure things come this November:
1) The election of President Obama
2) Investing my money in the 21st century versions of whatever industries gained value during the Carter Administration

Neither of these things are easy (finding info on the industries that actually made money in 1978 is tougher than I thought it was going to be), but I’m preparing for them both…

Hey, if the enlightened Lightworker doesn’t complete his apotheosis as written in the Book of Kos, then nobody’s gonna be more pleasantly surprised than me. But until that happens, I’m preparing for the worst case scenario.

McCain was “coincidentally” involved in one of the biggest Navy disasters ever: the fire on the flight deck of the Forrestal.

McCain had nothing to do with that fire, you dolt, those of us in positions of leadership in the Navy are required to study that incident and know it inside and out. It is one of the most scrutinized accidents in Naval History.

I’m glad this has come up, because it does represent the entire body of those who support Obama.

They can’t express a single achievement of Obama’s, yet they all regard him with deity status. He’s achieved nothing and he’s a god to them.

Barack Hussein should have been a Baptist minister. Perhaps the GOP should run Joel Osteen against him.

It was not until the Holy Spirit told me on February 7th (and I shared here just after midnight February 8th here as a “prediction”) that I started looking into Mike Huckabee and trying to put the puzzle pieces together.

I didn’t ask God to make Mike Huckabee the next President of the United States. He, in the form of the Holy Spirit, told me. There is a big difference. A very big difference.

I sure hope you have confirmation of this. It does not seem possible. and if you are wrong, that means you did not hear from God, but from another spirit, a dark and malevolent spirit.

if you’re wrong, it means you’re a false prophet. in the OT you would have been stoned.

before you go proclaiming you heard directly from God, you better be very very sure.

depends if you are His or not. As the jews in acts found out when they tried to banish a demon.

and even if you are His you can be ’sifted like wheat’ kind of like Job. its a very unpleasant experience….

I am aware, it was in Acts, correct?

A Jew tried to banish a demon in the name of Jesus who Paul preached about and he was unsuccessful because Jesus said that it is all about the faith.

Yea, he’s a lightworker that asks his staff for a light as he sneaks another butt. (He ran out of Nicorette and didn’t want to run to the corner store to buy some, Himself.)
Also, I guess it’s alright for lightworkers to lie thru their teeth as long as their vibration is high. It’s all about Presence, not words or deeds.
That tears it, I’m cancelling my membership to Lightworker.com!

I like it when a commenter tries to imply that McCain was at fault in the Forrestal fire. This is a useful litmus test of the commenter’s judgement. Anyone who makes this accusation is outing himself as a nut, and is thus easily dismissed from that point on.

Just when I think I can’t be more disgusted with this Obama mess, something else totally ignorant and disgusting rears its ugly head. The people in this country have lost their minds when they start to believe some scrawny, inexperienced, Dumbo eared Socialst is a superhuman, messiah who will save the world. He’s a politician with a good gift of gab, talking to a bunch of dolts suffering from White guilt overload. Come to your senses people before it’s too late.

UnEasyRider on June 8, 2008 at 6:06 PM

“…who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet…”

You know what that is? It’s the New Age (occult) “religion” of Oprah Winfrey, the Eckhardt Tolle cult, and it IS a cult.

Go look up the name (Echardt Tolle) and read the many links — it’s the latest occult “religion” from the Left and it’s very much being represented nearly everywhere by Obama-ists (same nomenclature, same enraptured statements about Obama when they are not referring sarcastically to those who aren’t associated, and I make note of the recurring sarcastic expression of “peace, love” to and about those who confront them [it's not genuine peace and/or love they extend but a counter term for 'buzz off']).

I recently discovered someone I care about is involved in that, um, “movement” and it’s alarming. Then it’s sad.

S on June 9, 2008 at 1:30 AM

On the other hand, Christine, there really IS an attempt to hijack and mislead by the Left underway, and, make no mistake, it does have spiritual dimensions, if not objectives.

As with “race,” the issue’s been introduced by the Obama-ists. It’s either been introduced for purposes of then denigrating whoever not supportive of Obama responds, or, for purposes of setting people up for ridicule (which I believe most seriously the Wright and Pfleger people intend — you can’t out-shout them and they know it, even when they shout despicable things).

It’s wrong, however, to want to silence the theological references because, in fact, by doing so, the Left “wins” the demand of theirs that seeks to do just that.

S on June 9, 2008 at 1:36 AM

On the Spike Lee vs. Clint Eastwood rhetoric:
The Guardian June 9th

“First of all, the man is not my father and we’re not on a plantation either. He’s a great director. He makes his films, I make my films … And a comment like ‘A guy like that should shut his face’ – come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry old man right there. Even though he’s trying to have a Dirty Harry flashback, I’m going to take the Obama high road and end it right here. Peace and love.”

Spike calls Clint an angry, bitter whitey cracker stuck on the dead old plantation. Throwing Clint under the media bus again, Lee then climbs on board with Obama on the high road revising peace and love, baby.

HObama, Spike and the Lightworker Enlightenment: revisit history and reverse role play. It’s called empowerment, baby. Wait until witnesses are dead, and retell the story in your own words.
