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.

"New Obama White House advisor John Podesta told Politico that Republicans are akin to the mass suicide cult in Jonestown,..."

Jim Jones, the cult master of Jonestown, was a very big supporter of California Democrats. He used his followers to canvas for state house Democrats and the Democrats solicited and welcomed his support. Jones was a Marxist leftist and so were the Democrats that he supported.

Whoa! That’s some tough talk right there! (of course its sarcasm)

Common tactic of the communists. Accusing everyone else of being and doing what you are and do. Muddles up the dialog and you are caught, you can say, ‘See, every one is like this!’

To be effective, they need to throw the Alinsky back at them. Pointing out that Jonestown was a socialist enclave with a ‘Messiah’ would’ve been the perfect response, & then pointing out that it ended in violence would’ve been the coup de grace (sp?).

And this is the idiot they brought in to get things done!!!!!

They didn't bring him in to get things done. He's a hatchet man who was brought in because the Marxists in the WH are declaring all-out war against America. If you think things are bad now, watch the rest of lame duck Obastard's years.

Yo, Pud Duster.

Liberals drank the Koolaid.

“Bitter clingers” took the red pill.

Buzzards know who’s getting on the plane.

Keep this on a handy index card for future reference.

Watching the GOP leadership on Capitol Hill sure does appear to be a suicide cult.

Podesta is the toe jam of the White House menu.

He’s an hysteric without meds.

He’s the product of an undeveloped mentality and an over developed sense of entitled.

(Yes, dear boy, yo moma!)

Projecting much, Podesta? Even as bad as the GOP has become due to being nads-challenged, they are still a helluva lot better than the Party of Traitors, Liars and Thieves...the Democratic Party.

Ditto.

If he is referring to the Republican establishment rinos he's right.

They are conducting the suicide of the Republican party.

Which political party looks more like a cult, Pudenda? The one unified enough not to give up even a single vote for the travesty of Obamacare - or the one that followed the Pied Pier down to the river?

Jim Jones was a marxist. Wonder if Podesta knew. It’s not like it’s exactly common knowledge. Here’s the proof.

Jim Jones, The People’s Temple and Revolutionary Suicide

I’ll bet you didn’t know (and the media would never tell you) that the Jim Jones/People’s Temple mass suicide in Guyana was a Marxist/Lenninst revolutionary act.

Jim Jones & Jonestown - Devolution from Political Force to Revolutionary Suicide - YouTube (no sign in needed)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRGtGmPMGJ8

In 1976 the Peoples Temple changed a San Francisco political juggernaut which was secretly harboring designs of world communist revolution to a paranoid North Korean-style enclave in Jonestown in 1978. There, they negotiated with the Soviet Union, North Korea and others for a possible exodus. A Soviet delegation visited Jonestown, showering it with praise.

Jones was the darling du jour of all the democrats in california from Jerry Brown on down to George Moscone, mayor of San Francicso.

Funny, but it’s always the democrats who invoke the concept of violence in political discourse, and are the ones who actually do the killing as well.

Podesta doesn’t know his own party’s history.
