Being called a cult hurts Obamatons feelings? How did you treat people that were offended by this:

[IndianaJones]

Little cultish, that sick tour, huh? Got some votes though.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Gospel is a music genre

how does that make it sick?

[mondo joe]

2. After all the incredibly offensive Coulterisms thrown at the Clintons here in

the last few weeks, it's pretty interesting to see how sensitive some in the Obama camp are.

[IndianaJones]

4. Some of the attacks on people that were outraged by that tour were merciless. nt.

[blm]

15. After Bush2 and 9-11, it's interesting ANY Dem sides with MORE closed government

and believes open government Democrats will be wrong choice to lead this nation.

What REALLY matters in the longterm, people? These stupid cult attacks, or open and accountable government?

[polichick]

5. LOL

Nice try!

(Your desperation is showing.)

[MADem]

Eh, if "they" can't "change" they deserve to be thrown under the bus!!

They didn't PRAY it away hard enough!! It's their 'FAULT!'

Do I need to whip this out :sarcasm: in case a few of the irony-impaired wander by?

[blogslut]

11. I'm not offended

I think the "meme" is indicative of a desperate, jealous candidate base.

As for the McClurkin thing, Obama not only apologized for that, he wasn't even physically at the event. Plus his and Clinton's stances on same-sex marriage are practically identical.

14. the cult "...meme is indicative of [Clinton's] desperate, jealous candidate base"

Bingo bongo bango. Well said. Popular enthusiasm for a Democratic candidate is now something to be ridiculed by the DLC establishment. Great.

13. I don't get it. what's wrong with gospel music?

I love gospel music.

[mopinko]

16. i saw their outrage as the phone baloney that it mostly was

i am a devout atheist myself, but i don't have a problem with a christian who doesn't put his faith above the law. the man has a 100% voting record on glbt issues, including sponsoring extension of hate crimes to sexual orientation. and he has a history of lecturing "his own" about the need to end hatred. what is more, i think that is the clear message of his candidacy, that none of us can afford to pay the price of hatred any more.
i'm sure that there are a few people who are honest in their hurt. but i think for the most part this issue is nothing but a bunch of hot air. to those that it is not, i say, find some healing for yourself, because you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

17. Offended? Cultish? Get a life.

[faithfulcitizen]

18. Huh?

[stillcool]

19. You don't like gospel music?

Funk, gospel and album-oriented soul

Black music in the late 1960s diversified. Soul music had arisen as a secularized form of gospel music. With the rise of psychedelia and folk, however, artists that had previously been best-sellers found themselves unpopular with the new sound. Many, such as The Supremes and The Miracles, never fully recovered, unable to adjust to the changes in music. Others, like the Temptations and Curtis Mayfield's The Impressions, abandoned their original sounds almost completely to adapt to new trends, continuing their momentum into the early 1970s.

Soul music, led at the time by singers like James Brown ("(Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine"), developed into psychedelia-influenced funk. Bands like Parliament (The Mothership Connection), War (All Day Music) and Funkadelic (One Nation Under a Groove) merged soul with psychedelic rock to cult acclaim but little popular success. Meanwhile, Sly & the Family Stone (Stand!) and similar acts achieved popular success with their mixture of soul and psychedelia.

Pure soul adapted to the new face of popular music by expanding beyond the simple lyricism of singles to more cohesive and socially-aware, album-oriented soul. This is usually said to have begun with the success of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Curtis Mayfield's Superfly soundtrack. They both described the gritty realities of ghetto life with funky, danceable beats and led to the dominant sounds of soul in the 1970s, such as Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff's Philadelphia soul.

Nonsecularized gospel was still popular, though not near the levels of the 1950s boom. Reverend James Cleveland was the most influential artist of the period; he introduced choirs to gospel with 1962's Peace Be Still, recorded with the Angelic Choir of Nutley from New Jersey. Six years later he founded the annual Gospel Music Workshop of America, which have spread across the world. Edwin Hawkins ("Oh Happy Day") was another major artist of the period. Beginning with artists like Ray Repp in 1964, a slick soft rock and gospel fusion called Christian Contemporary Music (or CCM) became popular, which helped lead the way for future rock Christian artists including light country star Amy Grant and Christian heavy metal pioneers Stryper.

[sfam]

21. Gospel music = cult music, didn't you know?

I actually think its a little sick to call gospel music cultish, but that's just me.

[Josiah1982]

22. that concert was a disgsting display of anti gay haterz

[BuyingThyme]
