A popular charge by conservatives at President Obama these days is that his strongest supporters are ‘O-Cultists’ or ‘O-Bots.’ It’s not entirely without merits. There are definitely people who are way too into President Obama, and certainly were so during the campaign. Dressing your baby in an Obama onesie? That’s a little much man.This was well satirized by the creators of South Park in the post-election episode ‘About Last Night.’ Of course, what Trey and Matt ably pointed out was that just as much ridiculous triumphalism and obsessiveness as there was among the Obama people, there was a cult of panic among Republicans who backed Senator McCain’s efforts to be our president.
*That* cultish behavior is something that the people who slam the ‘O-Bots’ refuse to acknowledge. See, for instance, Robert Costa, whose ‘Rogue: The Sarah Palin book blog‘ is chronicling the roll out of ‘Going Rogue: An American Life’ so exhaustively that it’s verging on transforming the National Review into a Palin fan fiction website (over 200 entries since it went live on November 13th!).

What America NEEDS!
"....... her career has become a vehicle through which the right-wing evangelical movement feels it can express its deepest identity in opposition both to secular society and to its representatives in the Obama White House. Palin is perceived by its leaders -- and followers -- not as another cynical politician or self-promoting celebrity, but as a kind of magical helper, the God-fearing glamour girl who parachuted into their backwater towns to lift them from the drudgery of daily life, assuring them that they represented the 'real America'."---Max Blumenthal,..L.A.
