Worship-Like Reverence

Posted on September 29, 2009 by Matt Osborne
Breitbart is still trolling for Drudge and Malkin linkage with “finds” in the “Worship-like reverence” department. The following video depicts the Gamaliel Foundation, which Breitbart calls “the community organizing group that helped sponsor Barack Obama’s initial work in Chicago.”

(Wait — I thought he started with Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground? Or was it ACORN? Oh well, they’re all one giant conspiracy anyway.)

Here’s Breitbart’s, um, controversial YouTube find:


The comments on the Breitbart.tv page are fun, too:

Fine I’ll be the first to say it.

Antichrist anyone?

Just sayin.

Well, I’ll be the first to say this: NONTROVERSY. The “ceremony” here is for a fake coffin representing “the death of old ways of providing health care and pray for a new day for health care in America” — according to Breitbart’s own website.

Given that the “ceremony” depicted is an irreverent joke, how seriously can someone take the “Obama cult” complaint? If I hold a mock surgery using a t-bone steak and a mannequin, is Breitbart going to accuse me of practicing medicine without a license?

I’ve been watching this meme develop for a while. It’s an especially silly one, and clearly born of pure psychological projection. If you want to see what a “Dear Leader cult” looks like, watch this:


Breitbart fail.

UPDATE: Breitbart’s site is already walking back the allegation.

    I am stealing this video.. but will give you full credit for the find.. wow.. talk about out there.. that is out there.

    The Bush/God that is.. I sure didn't see a connection to Pres. Obama or then Sen. Obama in the first video.. I don't think I even heard his name mentioned.. so how in the world can they even remotely try to tie that to him?

    I swear they reach further and get more crazy every day, and become more idiotic and more obsolete. People, at least the few sane ones left are going to start waking up and realizing how idiotic they are soon.. or at least I hope so.. when the world doesn't end at midnight on Now. 4th, or Jan. 20th, not sure which date they are going by… I know it is one of them.. I have a group here in a church that really believes in that.. they had a restaurant and even closed it.. until they see if the world ends…lol

    [...] More recently, we’ve seen a video of schoolchildren singing a song about the country’s first black president (during Black History month) given national exposure as “proof” the president is encouraging an actual cult of personality, and video of a mock funeral for wealthcare portrayed as prayer to Obama.
