Last night I heard "Hail Obama" on the radio. As is my sometime habit, I was scanning AM radio channels while driving last night and getting the usual ploppergandering from the controlled recht und link mixed with commercials trying to get Americans to either part with their gold or to buy some of it. I stopped on one of the "progressive" stations long enough to hear Richard Green say that he was glad to see Bush and Cheney go and then he said, "Hail, Obama". Hail Obama. Mr. Green said it casually, as though he was reading off the weather report. Leader worship just comes naturally to some. Even at the height of the national insanity after 9/11 that briefly turned George W. Bush into a demigod, I can't recall one Neocon saying, "Hail Bush". Maybe they did it in private with each other, but at least they kept it off the airwaves. Come to think of it, I can picture William Kristol or Michael Ledeen engaging in a little leader worship in the privacy of their own think tanks. Beyond the comical/ceremonial "Hail To The Chief" (originally called "March and Chorus in the Dramatic Romance of the Lady of the Lake") rag that's played whenever Dear Leader shows up to speak sweet words of wisdom to us unwashed proles, I can't recall the word "Hail" being applied to an American president's name in any public forum. Hail Obama. With a tanking economy that's surpassing the 1929-1933 benchmark, I suppose it was inevitable that we'd begin to see and hear the rumblings of Dear Leader worship here in Weimerica. As I don't see Mr. Obama discouraging it, I can only assume that it fits with the hopeful change that's in the works. Though no fan of Marx's precepts, I do read him from time to time to see what his disciples may be trying to pull. Does he have any wisdom on "Hail Obama"? "From my antipathy to any cult of the individual, I never made public during the existence of the International the numerous addresses from various countries which recognized my merits and which annoyed me. I did not even reply to them, except sometimes to rebuke their authors. Engels and I first joined the secret society of Communists on the condition that everything making for superstitious worship of authority would be deleted from its statute. . . ." Hail Obama. I suppose I can get used to it.

"From my antipathy to any cult of the individual, I never made public during the existence of the International the numerous addresses from various countries which recognized my merits and which annoyed me. I did not even reply to them, except sometimes to rebuke their authors. Engels and I first joined the secret society of Communists on the condition that everything making for superstitious worship of authority would be deleted from its statute. . . ." LOL - catching the stupid impostor. He does NOT read Marx. Probably he NEVER read Marx. The quote he provides is lifted from Nikita S. Khrushchev: The Secret Speech - On the Cult of Personality, 1956 Comrades, in the report of the Central Committee of the party at the 20th Congress, in a number of speeches by delegates to the Congress, as also formerly during the plenary CC/CPSU sessions, quite a lot has been said about the cult of the individual and about its harmful consequences. . . . Allow me first of all to remind you bow severely the classics of Marxism- Leninism denounced every manifestation of the cult of the individual. In a letter to the German political worker, Wilhelm Bloss, Marx stated: "From my antipathy to any cult of the individual, I never made public during the existence of the International the numerous addresses from various countries which recognized my merits and which annoyed me. I did not even reply to them, except sometimes to rebuke their authors. Engels and I first joined the secret society of Communists on the condition that everything making for superstitious worship of authority would be deleted from its statute. . . . The great modesty of the genius of the revolution, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, is known. Lenin had always stressed the role of the people as the creator of history, the directing and organizational role of the party as a living and creative organism, and also the role of the central committee. Note how the idiot impostor lifted everything, including the '...' and the end of the Marx citation. Who knows what the impostor Googled for, he found this and how he claims that hmmm... he reads Marx 'from time to time' (ROTFL). It's like stupid Bush claiming that he was reading the Frensh existentialists. So, he's a freaking liar and a fake. So what? Right?
Rather than attack the author, do you have any comment on the radio host saying, "Hail Obama"? If anyone on Fox had said "Hail Bush", would you be so cavalier?
He's a freaking liar and a thief, trying to pretend that he's something he's not - a well-read intellectual, that is. Why should I care where he lifts the stuff from? Did the radio host say 'hail Obama'? I don't know and I'm not going to trust some impostor. Maybe 10 radio hosts said 'hail Obama' and maybe 10 others said 'f_ck Obama'. What does it mean? Do I care if anyone said 'Hail Bush'? I don't know. I remember that, back in the early 2000's I had weekly 'pray for president Bush' threads at LP's Biker Bar.
If Obama told you to eat a turd, how would you want it served?
I'd want it served in your open mouth.
Back to the BOZO list you go your Faggot Vastness! You've become predictable..and boring. Touch my monkey. Touch him. Love him!
