The Cult of Hillary

One of the criticisms of Hillary Clinton is that she is famous for attacking people and accusing them of doing the very thing that she herself is doing. Her so-called supporters, being the admiring worshippers that they are, have quickly adopted this bad behavior. They accuse ANYONE that supports Obama of blindly following him, when in fact, the crime falls upon them.

Hillary Clinton has formed a cult. It's name: PUMA

PUMA people primarily consists of middle-aged to elderly white women with no college education with a few men and minorities sprinkled around every now and then. They need the men and minorities so they can proudly announce it like a badge of honor on blogs. E.g. "I'm a black woman and I voted for Hillary" or "I'm a man and I'd never vote for NObama!" Every now and then you also find one that actually went to college but they have a hard time justifying why everyone else in their field/profession supports Obama.

PUMA is the cult; Hillary is their GOD!

She literally can do no wrong and it's complete heresy to criticize her in any way. In fact, when confronted by any of her shortcomings, PUMA law dictates that you completely ignore it. This tactic has worked so well that certain things are actually now invisible to her worshippers.

Examples:

* Hillary lied about Sniper fire in Bosnia.
* Hillary agreed not to have FL and MI delegates seated and then faked outrage months later when she was losing.
* Hillary has hated Fox News for years due to their biased treatment with her, but is now their best friend.
* Hillary sold out to the medical insurance companies (and big biz in general).
* Hillary claims to be the pro-woman candidate but besides having a vagina, can't point to a single thing that she's done for women.
* Hillary was on the board of Wal-mart during the time in which women were being discriminated against and not promoted in the company, and did nothing to promote the advancement of women in the workplace.
* Hillary has long been criticized by Republicans for being polarizing but somehow it's Obama's, the medias, the DNC, Howard Dean, and everyone else’s fault that PUMA people are upset with anyone that doesn't agree with them.
* Hillary says that Obama doesn't have enough experience but has no experience herself other than her Senate seat even though all the other candidates had years more experience than she did.
* Hillary claims she can lead the country despite the fact that her leadership in her own campaign was a complete failure as demonstrated by her own internal memos.
* Hillary claims she can organize the country despite the fact that she ran her campaign into millions of dollars in debt and her "supporters" can't bail her out.
* Hillary claims she can give us a national healthcare plan even though she failed to when she had the opportunity to as first lady (and did nothing else of note until becoming senator).
* Hillary blasts others for their criticisms of her, even when they are correct (e.g. The Lewinsky scandal as a "vast right-wing conspiracy" when in fact it turned out to be true).
* Hillary can blame sexism for her failure to win, and her worshippers can blame Obama for not speaking out against sexism, but Hillary can't be held to the same standard when it comes to the topic of racism, and he too must take the blame for that.
* Hillary claims she can win in a general election despite sexism but couldn't win in her own party and you can't talk about the flaw in that logic.
* Hillary pretends she can't be blamed for Travelgate even though she was the one that fired staff.
* Hillary was knew all about Peter Paul.
* Hillary re-writes history (even recent history) to promote her lies.

Just to name a few things. But all of that is invisible to her worshippers as if it isn't even there. They can't respond to it, because they can't even see it. If questioned, they'll resort to name calling, or will lash out in rage, or will bring up a perceived shortcoming of Obama, regardless of how irrelevant it is to the topic at hand. Ignoring Hillary comments and focusing on Obama is the most common tactic because there isn't much good you can say about Hillary. It's much easier to just make up a lie about Obama and look for a Fox News source to back-up the claim. Fox News or a youtube video made by fellow Hillary worshippers.

The saddest part is that they are completely self-destructive in nature, much like Hillary herself. Hillary is ambitious to a fault and will do anything, ANYTHING to accomplish her goals. Cutting off her nose to spite her face, is not beyond her limits. Her worshippers have followed similar suit. They will vote for McCain out of spite, regardless of how much damage it does to them, the country, women, or the world. All the while, ignoring that the message they are sending out is that McCain is similar to Clinton. Although I agree with that completely, others scratch their heads in confusion at comparison. Hillary=McCain? The PUMA cult can't and aren't taken seriously by anyone but themselves, because they are irrational, and they only make sense to each other.

The good news is that when everything is said and done, what they think doesn’t matter. The vast majority of them are election year voters that don’t participate in politics until an election is coming up. By then, most of the decisions are already made, and everyone will have quickly forgotten who they are just like all the other dissidents of the past.

Can anyone remember who they were? Can anyone remember the groups they formed?

No? Exactly!
