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.
Jonestown were socialists with a false messiah.
Sounds distinctly like the Obama Cult that is the DNC.

I’ll take tea over Kool Aid any day of the week.
And this is the idiot they brought in to get things done!!!!!
Like every other white or half-white Pied Piper leading blacks to destruction, Jim Jones was a big time Democrat.
Hate to say it, but after watching the Pubbies handle this budget deal, “mass suicide” sounds pretty accurate.
I guess since you consider yourself to be in the slave-owner class, you are fine with it.
OK since they are OK with name-calling now lets just call them what they are...
Obommunists- Crony Socialists.
Ha, ha,... says the guy who’s Party created the Cult of Obama woship.
This is what they refer to as ‘Reaching across the aisle’.
I don’t intend to kill myself. The democrats will have to hike up their big girl panties and do it for me.

I suggest someone send podesta a package of grape kool aid
Melodramatics aisle 4
Who remembers when the Democrats decried the level of animosity in politics? Yeah, I guess they meant everyone else.
Pretty desperate when they bring in a “fixer” and all he’s got in his bag of tricks is vicious name calling to defend obama.
These people are trying everything to spark an open revolt... I wonder what that final spark will be....
Typical leftnut projection. Obama is the leftnut messiah, and Podesta’s job is to mix the poison.
Obama’s administration is the most dangerous enemy the US has every encountered.
