Obama’s tactics like Mugabe’s?

Yes, there are no Obamaniacs running around killing supporters of McCain. However some of the though-police behaviour of Obamaniacs are similar.

In Zimbabwe if you do not support Mugabe you are accused of supporting “imperialism”. If you do not support Obama you are a “racist” according to the Obamaniacs. Mugabe does his best to censor all press in his country. Obamaniacs are doing their best to make sure no one says anything in the press that is the slightest bit anti-Obama. Obamaniacs are doing their best to get anti-Obama bloggers banned and/or censored whenever possible. Obamaniacs are trying to limit criticism of their boy by all means necessary.

Both have a bye from the left for whatever they do.

And both Mugabe and Obama certainly have personality cults where their followers are uncritical no matter what they do (or in Obama’s case flip-flopping on issues aplenty). The whole “Hussein” as middle name thing is cultish that is for sure.

    I’ve experienced a little bit of the Obamania you describe even though I’m not voting for him for reasons 100% completely unrelated to race. Unless the Democrats nominated Dennis Kucinich, they lost my vote no matter what color or gender their candidate would be. I vote based on who I think is the best person for our country. Unfortunately, I believe I’m in the voting minority in this country as many people vote based on factors completely unrelated to the job.
