Cult of Personality

Posted by on

Jim Geraghty has a great post on the importance of mocking Obama supporters, including mentioning a funny Lewis Black bit on the subject:

The unconditional Obama love is getting pretty crazy, and perhaps enough ridicule can make it unhip (do people still use that term?) to be an enthusiastic Obama supporter — and you know how much liberals hate looking like they’re not with the times (do people still use that phrase?).
First off, we need a good mocking term for Obama supporters who have drank deep the Kool-Aid and think he’s the second coming — kind of like “Ronulans” for Ron Paul supporters.
Hmm…
Obamorons?
Well, that’s all I can think of now. See how you can do in the comments.

  9. Well, I was going to Photoshop (OK, probably actually MS Paint) a poster to go along with it, but I might as well tell you my master stroke:
    Obamunists
    I want to make a poster of a raised, clenched fist on a weathered background, using the stock “soviet propaganda” font with
    THE OBAMUNIST PARTY
    (fist)
    YES WE CAN
    Ehhhh??? I’m going to work on it soon.

  17. Technical uses with Obama as root:
    Obamatter (type of loyal, Obama electorate)
    Obamass (unit of political mass of Obamatter)
    Obameters (unit of political distance)
    Obohms (unit of political resistance against Obamass)
    Obamamps (unit of flow of Obamatter to campaign)
    Obamas (unit of poltical-emotive charge)
    Example: Application of 1 Obamas will cause 1 Obamamps to flow against a resistance of 1 Obohm causing 1 Obamass to travel 1 Obameters.
    But does it Obamatter?

  23. The followers remind me of lemmings, So how out “Obemmings”
    And if irrational liberal guilt causes you to lose your mind and faint at the appearance of an under qualified senator, accept half assed explanations of blatant racism from their ministers, Believing a candidate doesn’t need a thought out plan to deal with our issues if he has “Chope”, we’ll can call that “Brakholm Syndrome”

    Islamobamafascists (now that one right there is sure to make somebody MAD!)
    Obamabad, capital of Obamastan (you gotta pronounce the “a” right)
    He’s not Muslim, as far as I know.

  28. OK, i guess i’m gonna have to say it….I thought somebody else would, but…guess not
    they’re “blacks”
    there will be a huge monolithic vote by black folks to vote for him because of his skin color. You know it and I know it. Lets man-up and say it. Remember the “we need more white people” comment. Thats not to say that he does not have any white supporters, he does. My point is that he can count on a large black vote simply because of the color of his skin..it doesn’t get more “kool-aid” than that.

    As opposed to the percentage of the black vote the generic Democratic ballot normally gets? Failing to see the difference between the normal 95% and the probable 99% the Obamessiah will end up with is going to make.
    In the end the question will be how the white female vote goes. If they keep moistening their undergarments every time the guy opens his piehole he will win. If enough get pissed over how Shrillary got tossed in the trash or just fall out of love with Obama then McCain wins.
    Unless McCain want to just roll the dice and let events just unfold he needs to be attacking Obama on the lines of weakness that would induce white women to stop swooning over the empty suit.

  47. Changelings.
    Wait; “Obamaniacs!”
    Sung to the tune of WB’s ‘Animaniacs:
    We’re Obamaniacs
    We have AFL/CIO contracts
    We’re racist to the max
    There’s Strap-Ons in our slacks
    We’re bat-sh*t f**kin’ crazy
    Totally inaney
    overtly race-bait-ey
    Ob-a-man-i-acs
    Those are the facts!

  50. Damn. Someone beat me to “Changelings.” How about “Hope-ocrites?”
    Speaking of Communist posters, there’s an Obama office not far from where I live that has a SOVIET-STYLE OBAMA POSTER on display in the window. No way is this a coincidence: it’s Barack’s face staring boldly off into the distance, every angle of his face is hyperdefined, and its all rendered in red, black, and yellow–just like the old Stalinist and Leninist propaganda. It’s like their daring us to elect him.

  51. idolators?
    “obamasturbators” is probably the most accurate
    variations: Obawankers, wank-o-bamas, Obamasexuals
    O-jerks, O-jerkers
    O-jerking (ie, attending an Obama rally)
    Barackbackers (think “brokeback” mtn)
    “ob(am)onanism” could be used to describe their activities supporting him
    other ideas:
    cure for baracknids: barackaricide
    obamacultists
    obamazealots
    obamacranks
    robamabergs (rosenbergs)

  54. hoBOs – Hyper Over Barak Obama
    BObs – Barak Obama’s Beyotches
    Hey Andre, according the the mentor of your lord and savior this is the USKKKA right? We’re just staying in character (you know, TYPICAL) so that infidels don’t see what a reverse racist socialist your Obamesiah is. After all he was forced to grow up in a middle class family and was forced to attend an Ivy League school and then was forced to serve in a white only legislature for a racist state. And NOW look at all the roadblocks that are being put in front of his attempt to become the second black president: asking him for specifics of his policies, exposing his voting record, reviewing the type of people that he considers examples for how to live his life, for G*d’s sake (the original one) they’ve even sunk so low as to actually publish his own words…IN CONTEXT! The racist B@stards!

  56. It’s really sad when you’re spewing that kind of hate against people you don’t even know…every one of them has a reason to who they support you can’t generalize…some of us look at polocies and what has been done in the past what can and can’t happen….If I follow your logic everyone is under a catagory of a robot for someone.

  57. Hate? That’s a bit of an exaggeration.
    Given the apparent fact that Barack H. Obama is banking his campaign on there being enough voters who don’t know what happened in the 1970’s, we’re merely operating on the logical assumption that his supporters are the kinds of people who wouldn’t know what happened in the 1970’s.
    For people under 40, that means people of all kinds who learned nothing about recent U.S. history.
    For people over 40, that means people who were stoned out of their minds for that particular decade.

  62. Spewing hate?
    No, we’re spewing derision not hate. So far the only ones in this discussion who have uttered hateful statements are BHO’s mentors.
    You are assuming, according to your prejudices, that since we conservative, ergo we are racists and intolerant.

    some of us look at polocies [sic] and what has been done in the past what can and can’t happen
    What can happen is that liberals actually attempt to achieve Dr. King’s dream that people be judged by their achievements instead of the color of their skin.
    What can’t happen is that that this goal may be realized as long as liberals maintain the aura of victimhood as an excuse for not trying, e.g. exercising soft racism.

  64. Of course we spew hate Maya and Andre. We’re Republicans. We are so filled with hate it is coming out of each and every one of our hair folicles. Our bodies produce so much excess hatred that our toenails are made of the stuff. We hate the poor, blacks, Jews, the environment, soccer moms, the moon, lawyers, latinos, and everyone from the states of Vermont and Oregon.
    We regularly run people we hate down with our cars. If anyone we don’t like rings our doorbell, we open the trap door underneath them and feed them to our pet Grizzly Bears. We give machine guns to our children so they will murder anyone from the aforementioned groups as violently and petulantly as possible.
    If a day goes by when a Republican doesn’t commit some savagely violent act of hatred, he is kicked out of the party. Don’t you watch the news?

  68. How about WWOD? (What Would Obama Do?)
    Oh, my all this unkindness! This kind of talk just makes me all upset.
    I was watching a news clip with interviews of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and if you didn’t know better just about all the soldiers were voting for the Obamassiah or Shrillary. How is it that ini the real world the majority of soldiers are conservative republicans but the majority of soldiers shown on the news are OBAMAHOLICS (that is a new one!)or are voting for Hillary who has nothing but contempt for them?

  70. I think many of these fine ideas need definitions. So, taking up what FormerHostage (#2) started:
    Barachnids (#1): an Obama supporter with many unrelated ideas for “change,” like multiple legs.
    Obamanids (#5): A pre-Obama socialist, not quite a full Obama supporter.
    Obamination (#3): The abominable nation after Obama’s abominable election.
    Obamatrons (#20): High-tech Obama bloggers.
    Obamatons (#3): People so stupid that they automatically vote Democrat – and Obama.
    Obamaroids (#7): Very irritating Obama supporters who cause pain in the posterior.
    Obamanoids (#5): Annoying, Obamaroid-inducing Obamatons.
    Obamatollahs (#21): Muslim Obama-supporting clerics. His campaign staff.
    Islamobamafascists (#26): Obama-supporting Jihadis in the Middle East.
    Barry Whites (#6): Just absolutely friggin hilarious.
    Obamunists: (#9): What they all are. The similarity with communism is not an accident.
    There are so many more to do! Your turn.

  74. I think some take off on BO would be more to our purpose. A reference to body oder would at first thought seem to be just that then on second thought would obviously be more. Libs would follow it if it took them two steps to get there. Then they would assume the author might be smarter that he. Not wanting to appear dumb their minds would begin to turn.
