New WH Advisor Podesta: GOP 'A Cult Worthy of Jonestown'
Truth Revolt ^ | 12/17/13 | Truth Revolt

Posted on 12/18/2013 7:51:13 AM PST by Nachum

New Obama White House advisor John Podesta told Politico that Republicans are akin to the mass suicide cult in Jonestown, and that President Obama therefore needed more power. “They need to focus on executive action given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress,” Podesta said. Jonestown was a community formed in Guyana by cult leader Jim Jones. 909 Temple members died in Jonestown, all but two poisoning themselves.

Rory Cooper, communications director for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, ripped Podesta’s comments, pointing out that innocent people were murdered in Jonestown, including Rep. Leo Ryan (D-CA). Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) was shot five times. Cooper said, “This type of appalling and inflammatory rhetoric is a very troubling sign of how this White House plans to govern over the next three years."

Podesta joined the White House after spending years at the Obama- and Clinton-linked Center for American Progress. He was also a member of the Clinton White House top staff.

I wonder what that final spark will be....

When the employer mandate kicks in and employers kick people on to the exchange. When they get a load of what their new premiums and deductibles will be under obamacare, the SHTF. Right now most people think they're safe with their employer subsidized health care. They think their employers are going to continue to bite the $15,000-$20,000 per employee bullet if they don't have to.

I think the problem is going to be even bigger than that. To offset costs, Obama is going to fully relax the rules and make most of the complainers be put on Medicaid which is going to be the biggest financial disaster anyone could dream of. Payments to Doctors and hospitals for Medicaid will be reduced, care will be only that necessary to get the patient the hell out of the office or hospital, and one’s ability to even get an appointment with any doctor will be predicated on the answer to this “What insurance will you be using for this?”

Funny how McCain and Graham NEVER run for the mikes to respond to this stuff. They are too busy hammering the tea party and voting for RAT-favored legislation.

I guess Podesta has moved into his office and is ready to start his job of attacking anyone and everything opposing Bammy. He is a big POS.

One of the most important lessons to be learned from Saul Alinsky is to accuse your opponents of what you are already doing. That way they get the media hit first and you can skate free doing what you accused your opponent of doing.

So, what Pederast (I like that) is really saying is that they are a cult which is trying to do the Jonestown paradise thing better than Jim Jones did it.

They have their hypnotizing leader who is inching the people towards the Marxist Nirvana. If only they would drink the Obamacare.

Podesta says “President Obama therefore needed more power”.

So, according to his logic, we need one guy who has too much power, his own symbol, breaks the laws and rules of our Constitution to get his own way, has almost full control of the media, has followers who obey him “visout qvestion!”, and tries controls everything.

But, he's worried that a the opposing party, composed of several people, might be cult-like.

DOES NOT COMPUTE!

I am not a big believer in conspiracies. However, when all signs point to politicians planning a coup, anyone would be foolish to ignore the signs. Case in point, take a look at all the people crying for Elmer Fudd to RULE by Executive Action.

Another case in point, a total rejection of the rule of law.

Be prepared.

“Jonestown were socialists with a false messiah.”

And that is EXACTLY the response any Republican worth his salt should have given. Why, why, WHY can’t our guys respond effectively to this b*llcr*p?!

Proofs in their actions.

11/10

“Podesta: Obama Can Use ‘Armed Forces’ to Push Progressive Agenda”

“...“I think most of the conversation since the election has been about how President Obama adjusts to the new situation on Capitol Hill,” Center for American Progress head and former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta told the Daily Caller. “While that’s an important conversation, it simply ignores the president’s ability to use all levels of his power and authority to move the country forward.”

How does one “move the country forward”? In the center’s report, Podesta explains that Obama can use executive orders, rulemaking, and even the armed forces “to accomplish important change” and that such means “should not be underestimated.”

What exactly does Podesta think the president should use such powers to “accomplish”? Among others, the report suggests “job creation,” “quality affordable health care,” “sustainable security,” and “a clean energy future.”...”
