[Platt] I guess you haven't seen the religious fervor and adulation at Obama rallies? It's like an old fashioned revival meeting. Nothing like the relatively reserved response for McCain.
[Arlo] From what I have seen, ideologues on both sides are wooing a fervent congregation. But let me ask this, how does it differ from the fervor and adulation of Reagan back in 1980? Are democrats more excited about their candidate this time than republicans? Considering the outright hostility and aggression McCain drew from the radical right, I'd say that tempered things a bit. [Arlo had asked] Ask this. "If Harris opposes dogmatic belief and believes the enemy is uncritical loyalty to any set of beliefs, may I presume he would be against the adulation and religious fervor of followers of any political ideologue?" [Platt] I presume he would. Wouldn't you? [Arlo] I know nothing of Harris to even comment. I'd say we should be against it. But I bet this is one of those times when if the "liberals" do it, its "adulation and religious fervor" and "uncritical loyalty", but when they "conservatives" do it, its perfectly justifiable respect and excitement.
