More On The Obama’s Fainting Women Schtick

From Newsbusters:

It’s an awful big coincidence that all these women keep fainting at Obama campaign rallies isn’t it? And isn’t it odd that they are always right up by the podium? Also, it is so odd that Barack says nearly the same lines in response and that he stops everything to “assist” the fainted?

So, the question arises, are staged fainting spells being created by the Obama campaign to make the audience think that people are so overheated by Obama that they end up fainting? It also creates the impression that the candidate is “caring” when he stops the rally to call for doctors to attend to the woman and for a “water bottle” to be given to her.

It just strains credulity that so many instances in nearly exact detail have been happening spontaneously.

Here’s a compilation video of the fainting spells from Breitbart:

I agree that all of these fainting spells, and the seemingly scripted response from Obama to them, all seem to convenient when taken together to be merely coincidence.  Of course, anything is possible, so who knows.

It wouldn’t be all that surprising if these moments were entirely contrived, though.  Obama is running a campaign based not so much on policy and qualifications but emotion (he’s out to save your souls!), and televangelists (masters of manipulating emotion) have been using tactics like these for decades.

Adoph Hitler could really rally those masses, and Olde Joe Stalin could make them walk barefoot through broken glasses, And Ho Chin Minn, he could bring the crowd in, and that Po Pot he know how his words could make them hot…

Now do you believe?

Now Marshall Applewhite made them think that they were going to go to Heaven on a comet, and David Koresh he sent his faithful on a path to Armageddon. And of course we all know about olde Jim Jones. His people did what he told em and that Kool-aid got overflowin…

Now do you believe? (the mesmerized crowd shouts back Yes we Believe) Now do you believe?(louder) Yes, we believe? Hallelujah now get that sister some water (the front row of women then faints).

Now do you see yourself as as Che’s Second comin… Or maybe you set yourself up on a path even higher. Perhaps you do see yourself as the new Messiah, start a new religion with your as its idol.

Do you believe?

Cults of personalities well they very rarely end well and with yours it could set the earth a trembling… For when you come unglued as all cult leaders in the end do, you could push that nuclear button and set the earth afire..

Oooohhh, you are all so scared of Obama.  Thousands upon thousands of people including Republicans lining up to see, lining up to donate to him.  And the republican crowds lining up for McCain. hhmmm…. not so much. 

So scared that you are now tryig to scare people by comparing him to Hitler.  Folks here have stooped to new levels. I don’t believe that Obama is blond haired and blued eyed, not Hitler’s type.

Am I scared of Obama?  Well, I’m scared that America’s passion for image over substance might very well put him and his terrible policies in office.  But then, in another way, Obama probably would be the second coming of Jimmy Carter.

A leader so bad, so inept, that his four year term would push America back to the right for decades to come.

I mean, if you’re going to troll, at least do it with some style and not like some retarded tweener would.

Scared of Obama??? Don’t be silly, Puzzle.  There’s nothing there.  What’s to be sacred of?

The only thing that can be said of Obama is that he makes Hillary’s claim of experience look almost believable by comparison.

Well, I see you spell like a retarded tweener as well.

But like a typical liberal incapable of taking any personal responsibility, I see you’re blaming your childishness on me.  As though I guided your fingers in pecking out the rather moronic “LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!” on your keyboard.

Tell me, though, at your advanced age is resorting to cliched internet acronyms an effort to appear “hip” and “cool” in front of the young ‘uns?

Actually, a quick review of “Obamanomics” leads me to believe that his administration wouldn’t be all that unlike Jimmy Carter’s.

I mean, his solution for unemployment is more government spending and more government hiring.  You really think that’s going to end well?

Notice that neither leftard in this thread have any proof that these mentally ill women are fainting spontaneously at Obamaoid rallies. They just attack Rob and anyone else that points out that this is a commonly used tactic by hucksters and conmen working the “religion” grift, which is exactly what Obama is doing. Huge, staged rallies, tightly controlled and minutely orchestrated. The Nehemiah Scudder of 2008.

They’re fainting in front of their deity.

Staged faintings or not I just find Obama’s reaction and tone of voice a little bit too, I don’t know, uncaring or even cold.

Maybe it is because he knows those are actors not really feeling faint.

or maybe he is just a cold hearted man.

but I just do not see him as a caring person.

That is what strikes me in this video.

As if he has no emotions, his tone of voice does not change, noether do his facial expressions.

Watch the video again; he is like an emotion-less robot reporting a fainted person.

I do not see a warm caring man there.

Both Bush and Clinton seem like more caring people than Obama.

I agree.  And that JFK and RFK were a bunch of non-caring, emotionless partisans.  Nixon on the otherhand was quite the contrary.  Such a nice, wonderful and caring person.

Be reasonable—he’s drawing huge crowds and it’s hot when so many people are together.  That he sounds the same way during each incident indicates only that he’s doing what he has found to be helpful in similar situations.

I thought you were beyond this kind of thinking.

Faint Praise on February 18, 2008 at 10:59 pm

Yep, faint, that is the exact same defense that televangelists and roadshow preachers use when they get got using come along plants in their audiences.

These people aren’t fainting because of Obama-mania, but because with prolonged standing, such as one might do at a crowded political rally, blood is pooling in their legs, leading to an exaggerated nerve response called vasovagal syncope. I am a medical student in training to be a pediatric cardiologist.  I was 10 feet from a woman who fainted at an Obama event in Youngstown this week, and I can tell you she was not reacting to overwhelming love for the candidate but to simple physiology.

jeff in ohio on February 21, 2008 at 08:12 am

Or are they locking their knees to cause this effect? Add a bit of hyperventilating and you get a flush faced fainter. Been used in different venues for decades. Hell, throughout the span of human history.

Did some do it accidentally, or did all of them do it accidentally. Seems like a bit of a stretch, seeing as all politicians employ people to help work crowds.

What is he supposed to do when a lady ‘faints’ or whatever in front of him? ignore it? of course not, so it could easily be some attention seeking women who know that if they get to that front row and lock their knees, they are gonna get a huge crowd of people, and a presidential candidate, paying lots of attention to them.

do you really think he could yell “your faking!”?. he is being watched by thousands of people, he has to at least make the best of the situation. thats all if he isn’t just staging these things, which is also possible.

I just want you keep your minds open, remember that it is easy to believe what you want to believe, and try and consciously think about all angles of the situation before coming to a conclusion… ‘course if you actually try to look at all angles of a situation you soon realize that it isn’t possible to determine an absolute answer, and you, hopefully, will then understand that you will never know, and all you can do is make your best guess.

so, try not to state things as absolutes when nothing is, it just raises tempers. unless thats what your going for, then your just an immature asshole o.-

mike on June 7, 2008 at 06:09 am

Perhaps he should not pay women to “faint” in front of him? There is a thought.
