But his speeches and the resulting adulation did imply that he was some kind of savior. Those crowd chants of "Yes, We Can?" Good grief! One wonders how many in the audience had little red books to wave. Obama is smart man, most likely a good man. He won a good victory, fair and square and deserves lots of accolades. But he is just a man, and a politician at that. All politicians- all of them- should be viewed with a permanent and healthy dose of skepticism.
LMAO: Now the neo-cons are trying to say that Democrats follow Farrakhan? Such puny minds.
I don't think he is the leader of the democrats. Not at all, I was simply giving an example of a democrat/leftward leaning person who did, in fact, call him the "Messiah". Which he did. Thats the only point I wanted to make. No rational person thinks that Farrakhan leads democrats. Just like no one should think that Ann Coulter is our leader either. God I hope you don't at least.
You consider FARRAKAN an end to a discussion. I'm glad you have so much faith in someone who spews hate.
i consider the fact that the hate-spewing FARRAKHAN spouted idiocy about obama being the messiah, despite your pleas that such a thing never happened, to be the end of this discussion, correct.
Democrats never did call Obama the Messiah, OP, you're right. It's all the masses of right wing sheep that cant come up with an original expression to save their little bleating, jingling souls.
I have yet to see one news footage or article from a democrat labeling Obama as their Messiah, Master or God. Why is it that the conservatives and the anti-obama crowd continue with this labeling? It appears to me this is the way YOU see him. I don't, no one that i've EVER spoken too see him as such...So why do you?
Did the democrats label Bush the Messiah or Master when he took the 2000 & 2004 elections?
Unfortuantely for many on CD mainly those who takes issue when they can not obtain agreement from the other side. Juvenile discussions typically takes away from credible discussion.
Louis Farrakhan used those exact words.
Pelosi said 0bama was a gift from God.
Even Hilary made the joke about celestial choirs and lights coming down from heaven.
When conservatives refer to 0bama as the messiah, it is a form of satire, (which flies over your head, apparently) to point out the messianic allure and the comical over the top near deity status democrats seem to heap on a guy with absolutely no accomplishments, great deeds or experience.... beyond reading a teleprompter and causing women to faint while listening to his campaign speeches.
Minister Louis Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, has declared Barack Obama to be the Messiah. Farrakhan did this at a gathering last February, but the video has just hit Youtube and is causing shock waves.
Obama supporters have referred to Obama as "The One", and other terms that suggest not a political figure to be admired and supported, but a religious figure to be followed and even worshiped.
Democrats never did call Obama the Messiah, OP, you're right. It's all the masses of right wing sheep that cant come up with an original expression to save their little bleating, jingling souls.
Wow... Tell me if I am wrong, but you do not consider a person a Democrat unless they hold an office? Because if not then your wrong. Farrakhan said Obama was the Messiah, Farrakhan is a democrat and left of center. It was the OP point and it was rebutted. Is that not good enough?
