Cult Blamed for Cemetery Vandalism, Theft of Body
By David Lohr - AOL News(Aug. 28) -- Acts of vandalism and the theft of a nine-year-old girl's body have residents of Lancaster, Pa., concerned that a cult could be practicing black magic in the area.

The 'Cult' of Obama?
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyOur wide-eyed media doesn't seem to know what to make of the phenomenon known as the Obama campaign, some going as far as to liken it to a cult.

Media Matters (aka Evil Soros-funded Clinton hackery factory) has noticed a recent trend by some in the media to explain away Obama's popularity.
