NEW OBAMA CULT SALUTE STOLEN FROM STAR TREK "SPACE HIPPIES" EPISODE

And I'm not kidding...The new Obama salute was stolen from Star Trek's "Space Hippies" episode. It's just scary how similar this episode is to the Obama cult. They even speak of "The One".

Here's the new sign for Der Fuhrer Obama:



And here is the space hippie salute:





This salute surfaced in the Star Trek episode "The Way to Eden". Here's a bit of the plot line from that episode:

On stardate 5832.3, the USS Enterprise is in hot pursuit of the stolen spacecraft Aurora, which is on an unauthorized heading into the dangerous Romulan Neutral Zone. The Enterprise locks onto the ship with a tractor beam, but the Aurora tries to flee. With the craft already straining with pushed engines, the vessel begins to break up.

Captain Kirk orders the transporter room to lock on the passengers and beam them aboard immediately. As the Aurora explodes, the six humanoid passengers are safely brought aboard the Enterprise. Kirk heads down to meet with them and is shocked by their wild appearance. The six beings are barefoot, dressed in lavish robes and colorful tunics. Despite their close brush with death, they appear completely calm and relaxed as if nothing has happened.

The group identifies themselves, starting with Tongo Rad, (the son of the Catuallan ambassador, and whose presence must be handled carefully, owing to the delicate relationship between the Federation and the people of Catualla), Irina Galliulin (a Starfleet Academy dropout and a former love interest of Mr. Chekov's), Dr. Sevrin (a noted communications and electronics researcher from Tiburon, who specializes in the theories of sonic manipulation), Adam (a popular musician), Mavig (the blonde who later sings with Adam) and another, unidentified woman.

The group quickly shows a disrespect for authority and demands to be taken to a planet they call "Eden" (a reference to Garden of Eden). Eden's existence is believed to be a myth however. The group refuses to cooperate with Kirk, calling him "Herbert", an insulting reference to his rigid and limited ideals.

The group is impressed by Mr. Spock however, who gestures with an oval "symbol of peace" the party makes with raised hands, and speaks of "The One".
Seriously. Replace Herbert with George Bush and cast Obama as "The One" and what do you have? America in 2008.

Tell me this clip doesn't remind you of some Obama supporters you know.

When America sees 70k people doing this during the convention it is over. McCain in landslide. Creepy factor is real, real high.
