The term “useful idiot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot>” was
first used to refer to Soviet sympathizers, i.e., commies, in Western
countries who naïvely thought of themselves as an ally of the Soviet Union,
but were actually held in contempt and were being cynically used.
The use of the term in political discourse has since been extended to
all who unwittingly support a malignant cause whose goals they are not
fully aware of, and which they naïvely believe to be a force for good. The
leaders of the cause cynically use the useful idiots to gain power and
achieve their malignant goals, after which, the idiots will be tossed aside.
While surfing the net looking, in vain, for a Peggy Noonan column (*more on
that later **), I found this sign on a now-defunct Obamabot blog,
Mudflats<http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/just-one-more-thing/>
.
The handwritten note was posted on the bulletin board of the Alaskan
headquarters of the 2008 Obama for President campaign.

Here's the note:

*"he inspires people not only to believe in him, but more importantly in
themselves and their power to change the world."*
Yup, that's why the number of Americans on food stamps has skyrocketed
under the POS.
Hey, all you Obamabots.
How's that "Hope and Change" thingy working out for ya?
***************
***In 2008, after Obama won the Democratic Party's nomination to be their
presidential candidate, Peggy Noonan wrote a column in which she ominously
referred to demons (or some other similar word) being unleashed. Alas, I
did not save that column and spent an hour yesterday searching in vain on
the web for it. If you know where I can find it, please leave a comment on
this thread or email me at:
