Welcome To Camp Obama

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, October 03, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Election '08: Voters coast-to-coast are receiving e-mails from the Obama campaign encouraging them to sign up to learn pre-election agitation tactics at "Camp Obama." Red kerchiefs, anyone?

When readers first alerted us to the camps, we thought it might be another hoax that migrated into inboxes. But it's for real.

The unsolicited pitch goes like this: "Camp Obama attendees will receive real world organizing experience that will have a direct impact on this election. Graduates of Camp Obama will go on to become Deputy Field Organizers who will lead this campaign to victory in crucial battleground states around the country."

The letter continues, "By participating in Camp Obama you'll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, where he learned that real change happens from the bottom up."

While the letter neglects to identify the source of that "experience," a slide on a camp blog linked to the Obama Web site offers a clue. Underneath a "Welcome to Camp Obama" banner, a trainer at Obama headquarters in Chicago is seen speaking next to a wipe board with the words "Saul Alinsky" scrawled across it.

Well, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised coming from the Black Liberation Theology for 20 years and his Marxist background. I just didn't think I'd see this in my lifetime.

Since you refuse to read anything to get further understanding of the candidates, I guess our dialogue is over.

Awwww c'mon!!

I read the links. I just wanted to know what you thought you would never see in your life time.

Response to link 1:

It's the American Democratic process in action. I am hopeful that all of these graduates prove to be a wise investment.

Response to link 2:
I got disrupted at work and I'll have to read it again because I don't remember what I read.

Re: Welcome to Camp Obama

This is what someone from England and remembers said about Obama's training school and I agree:
What are you going to get now , Seig Heil and the goosestep. It is really scary as you say. When we were on our Cruise we found ourselves talking to a lot of Americans, they were about the same age as ourselves so were sensible people, like you they are concerned about the future,

The "Investor's Business Daily" is notorious for it's extreme right winged editorials.

Why read anything in their editorial section and give it more than a grain of salt if it definitely has more than a spin on it?

What is it that you would like to discuss?

Saul Alinsky? His ideas of bringing change are not unique to him and he got his ideas from someone else before him. The context of his ideas are settled in bringing political change from within the system.

Our Constitution is written so that it guarantees a way for Americans to bring Revolution ever so often, without bloodshed.

But what is it that you would like to discuss?
