I read this over at Little Green Footballs<\/a> and it’s so mindnumbing, jawdroppingly vacant of any rational thought, I just had to drag it over here for my readers. It’s from SF Gate<\/a> (wherelse?) and entitled “Is Obama an enlightened being?”. Here’s the most offensive part;<\/p>\n

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.<\/p>\n

The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare. And this why he is so often compared to Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to those leaders in our culture whose stirring vibrations still resonate throughout our short history.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How much pot does a human being have to smoke to reach this level of drivel? Dostoevsky once wrote that if a person talks nonsense long enough he’ll finally get to sense – Mark Moford writes this kind of nonsense for 17 paragraphs and never even gets close to the ballpark of sense.<\/p>\n

Of course, because this pot-for-brains is so in tune with those enlightened folks he speaks about, the rest of us can never understand (what with our “cowering religious” facade and all) so we should just take the word of this blowhard and put the planets in line by voting for Obama.<\/p>\n

So we’ve made the leap from this being an ideological struggle to it being a spiritual reawakening of the whole of mankind.<\/p>\n
