There Must Be A Revolution Going On!
CONSPIRACY THEORY WEDNESDAY
Just when you think you’ve heard them all, rest assured you have NOT! Conspiracy Theory Wednesday is in full swing because the Tea Party Movement is chock full of conspiracy theories. As long as they spout them, I’ll print them.
This one is a doozy! Both Democrats and Republicans agreed that Bill Clinton had great charisma and charmed crowds but…hypnotizing ??
I have copied this article from Mother Jones. Dave Gilson, senior editor at Mother Jones posted this article in April 2009.
The Conspiracy: Barack Obama is not just an unusually eloquent speaker; he is an expert in mass hypnosis (hopenosis?). By tapping into the sinister techniques of neuro-linguistic programming, the president subliminally convinced Americans to elect him—and who knows what he’ll make us do next? Among his “trance induction” tricks: “extra slow speech, rhythm, tonalities, vagueness, visual imagery, metaphor, and raising of emotion.” And his “O” logo was even designed to look like a crystal ball.
The Conspiracy Theorists: The Obama-as-brainwasher-in-chief theory was first presented in an unsigned 67-page document posted on an Arizona libertarian’s website last October. It was picked up by conservative blogs, message boards, and Rush Limbaugh, who told listeners that “a bunch of surgeons and doctors” had diagnosed Obama’s “hypnotic effect.” “The people most susceptible to neuro-linguistic programming are young people and highly educated people,” he explained. “I find it interesting, too, that many Jewish voters are supporting Obama…Maybe it is hypnosis.”
Meanwhile, Back on Earth: We elected a president who uses rhythm, tonality, and visual imagery in his speeches? My God, what have we done? Does that mean that red-staters are immune to his awesome mesmerizing powers? And why can’t he use self-hypnosis to quit smoking?
I think it’s important to inject some humor into our week, don’t you? Thank the Tea Partiers for this opportunity to laugh out loud at your computer screen.

Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
