On Being 'Ruthless' For Obama Just As Saul Alinsky Taught
Topics: Political News and commentariesFirst the Obama Youth videos started coming out, and now there's this about "Camp Obama" from the Chicago Sun Times:
"The next tip is to be absolutely ruthless," Jocelyn Woodards tells the campers. "We want you to be determined, ambitious, take a risk."No toasted marshmallows here. This is the second day of Camp Obama, a two-day (sometimes four-day) intensive training course in becoming an activist to help get Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) elected president.
"It's not enough for you to be a supporter of Barack. You have to go out and build an organization that will deliver votes for Barack Obama," Woodards tells the 40 campers -- most in their 20s -- from around the country gathered at the campaign's national headquarters in the West Loop.
Obama is not like other candidates, and part of this training is learning to mimic the methods he used before he was an elected official -- back when he was a community organizer in Chicago following the textbook of legendary agitator Saul Alinsky.
Saul Alinsky wanted results
Rivals of Obama know that while he may at times appear to channel Martin Luther King Jr., his methods sometimes give evidence of his allegiance to Alinsky, who shunned starry-eyed idealists and recommended purging do-gooders from organizations. Alinsky wanted results. And his methods often forced the hands of elected officials.
Am I the only one that sees such camps and phraseology as "indoctrination" camps? Is this where Americans are willing to let leftist, lliberal, progressive, radicals take America? Is America willing to go the radical leftist way as taught by Saul Alinsky and thoroughly embraced by Barack Obama?
Scary. And do take the time to watch the videos at the above links if you haven't seen them already. Better yet, watch them twice.
