I've never liked Kool-aide. Not due to it's lack of nutritional content, snobbery, or the fact that REAL fruit juice tastes so much better, but for more psychological reasons.
When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I saw a movie called Jonestown. It told the story of Jim Jones ( not the BAAHHHLIN' one), crazed evangelical " guru" who convinced his "flock" of some 900 people to commit mass suicide. Their weapon of choice, Kool-aide.
Of course it was laced with cyanide, but I've steered clear of it ever since. All this to say, that recently, the blogosphere and several right-wing haterating talk show hosts, have drawn parallels to Barack Obama and Jim Jones.
Just because someone passes out at your campaign rally, does that automatically make you the second coming of a lunatic cult leader? No it doesn't. The man is just a gifted speaker, he moves people. Sometimes to tears, other times to cardiac arrest.
Don't mistake this post as an endorsement of any sort. Deonn has not yet made an official endorsement of any candidate ( unless Chuck Norris decides to throw his hat in the ring). I just don't like mudslinging, and there seems to be alot of that lately. He's got CHARISMA!!! and change, don't forget about the change.
