[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vanguard: [QB] You can't invoke Godwin unless it was unrelated. The 'brownshirts' those guys in California did... I didn't know to be worried, just creeped out, and concerned for their lack of intelligence. And, oddly, I see this more in the 'neveaux rich' areas, those suburban areas where people flip houses annually, have lawn you can mow in seconds, etc... the 'upper middle class' as you will, who seem to have latched onto Obama as a [i]spiritual[/i] focus. I can probably dig around for more local pictures and rallies and stuff, but it's just a bizzare melding of Baby Boomer narcissim, 'rich man entitlement', and WASP self-loathing or something. Thing is, the thinking is actually so alien to me that I really can't rationalize it or explain it. These are moderately successful upper-middle class people for whom Obama has become their God, their focus for all things 'great and beautiful' in the world. And, of course, I don't mean that all people who voted for Obama are like this (hell, I very nearly voted for him myself, and would have if the GOP controlled Congress). It's a subset from a group of should-bes that really seem to be looking at Obama not as a political figure, but as their personal redeemers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
