Exactly HOW Did Kool-Aid Drinking Get Connected To Conservo-creeps?

[mermaid]

I'm totally curious HOW and WHY this connection was made. Maybe I'm uninformed here, but could someone clear this up for me...I'm just toally curious...

1. Jim Jones (of Guyana fame) made his followers drink KoolAid laced

with poison, killing them all.
Drinking the KoolAid stands for blindly following your leader even if it kills you.

9. Ahhhh...Jonestown...

Makes sense now! Thanks for clearing that up. I always wondered what was up with that...

2. Probably goes to Jim Jones in Guyana

and the cyanide cool aid.
As a Mac person I always talk about the Microsoft Cool Aid...

3. That's interesting. Especially since Mac "users"

are the ones most like a cult.

8. No arguement there.

I live in both worlds.

4. Not sure what context you're using it in. When I hear them mentioned

together I think of the people who followed Jim Jones and drank poison cause he said to. The Repugs followers use as much thought process.

5. I think it has to do with group think and obsessive loyalty

with a lack of independent thought.

i.e. the Republican party has turned into something of a cult instead of a politcal party and the connection is made to the Jim Jones Guyana tradgedy where 900 (?) people killed themselves by drinking poison-laced Kool Aid because their leaders said so after a murderous incident involving outsiders threatened to unmask and destroy their situation.

11. A congressman (Leo Ryan) went there to investigate and they killed him!

Then all hell broke loose - literally!

6. The other two people said Jim Jones

And that's right. After all I drink Kool-Aid all the time and it hasn't affected me at all. Although, now that I think about it, maybe a constitutional amendment requiring all liberals to register with the office of liberal prevention isn't such a bad idea.

Mmmmmmmm Cool Aid.

Incidently if you get that A3 or Alabama Three Exile on Coldharbour street (avenue?), and listen to the song "Mao Tse Tun Said" it has a long sample of Jim Jones.
