What the fuck, **Aquila?** This isn’t even going to be a pitting about the vapid PDF you posted in your [OP.\*](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=489169) That paper isn’t even worth wiping my ass with. It’s about you being a pussy who can’t admit he’s being an idiot. Take the question in your very title. What did you think the answer would be? If you thought anything other than **“NO.”** to the question **“Obamamania – Does Obama knowingly hypnotize his followers?”** Then you must be open to the idea of mass-hypnotism, ergo, a moron. But anytime we called you out on that, all you did was vomit back “I am not the author of the thesis, so I can’t be associated with it nor form an opinion about it.” BULLSHIT. As soon as you hit submit after whipping up your OP, you assumed association. So what’s your story here? You like shit stirring, that’s for certain. You’re an obvious idiot for even posting the question, and you don’t even offer anything of substance in the thread, nor answer very straightforward questions being asked of you. Lame ass troll. Fuck you, and fuck your disingenuous posts. \*Reading any of it is like rolling a fart around on your tongue. I’m not sure how anyone with more than 3 brain cells can get past the first page. ---

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty strange OP, and his non-responses were annoying, but has this guy got a history of doing stuff like this? ---

Well, it’s the first I’ve ever seen of him. He does have over 400 posts since 2006, but I’m assuming he’s kept a low profile all this time, for fear of his beliefs in black-magic-voodoo coming to the surface. Whoopsy-daisy. ---

I have an impression of him/her as being pretty conservative just from reading his posts in the past. I wasn’t really aware of any woo-woo beliefs from **AB** , but they may just have not come up. ---

It’s still not clear whether he’s even an American (living in Australia), dual-citizenship, or just an Australian. Even though he’s been directly asked a couple times, he hasn’t answered. Why invest so much vitriol in something that doesn’t concern you all that much? ---

Listen punk, I knew you were living in Aus, you never answered whether or not you were an American, Dual Citizen, or what. You’ve never seen an Obama speech; only read a few. You aren’t smitten by the thesis, I get it already, but this is obvious: You assumed mass-hypnosis by Obama had some merit, otherwise you wouldn’t have asked the question in the first place. The stupid, it burns.

Not a huge surprise, but [the paper contains several outright fabrications](http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=778) as to the content of Obama’s speeches. ---

_sigh_ Is this nonsense going to stop after the election, or are we going to have to put up with it throughout Obama’s administration?
