The IBD article points out that the email provides a website, complete with photos of the camp, that links to the Obama campaign. One of those photos:
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.
Of particular note is another photo showing Barack Obama's Chicago community organizer mentor Mike Kruglik.
Another slide of a camp trainer identified as Mike Kruglik is equally telling. Kruglik happens to be the Alinsky disciple who first taught Obama hardball organizing tactics on the South Side. He was Obama's boss in the '80s. Kruglik now works for the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation, which trains and deploys radicals across the country.
Kruglik once declared Obama "the undisputed master of agitation," according to David Freddoso, author of the best-seller "The Case Against Barack Obama."
Obama learned well from the master agitator. Alinsky taught future radicals that bad things are often done for the right reasons, love without power is sentimental mush, power must be taken, and all change comes about as a result of threat and pressure.
Obama calls his Alinskyite experience "the best education I ever had."
"Historically, campaigns have looked at young people as the hardest demographics to mobilize," according to Hans Reimer, the campaign's national youth vote director. "In reality, if you know what you're doing, they can be one of the easiest to mobilize."
"The most important thing is that they understand they are an important part of our strategy to win the election. This is not for show, this is not to feel good; this is to get trained and help us to win this election."
I believe we call that indoctrination. Saul Alinsky dedicated the first edition of his "Rules for Radicals" to Satan.
Jocelyn Woodards is the Camp Obama director, who says, "Our campaign has had the benefit of having a lot of enthusiastic volunteers, and so we wanted to make sure that they had real concrete ways to be involved and organize in their local communities. We go through everything from canvassing, phone banking, volunteer recruitment, our campaign message, how to develop an organization locally."
"Be absolutely ruthless," adds Camp Obama director Jocelyn Woodards, who leads the intensive two-day training course for campers in Chicago.
In the Alinsky model, organizing is code for agitating. For revolution. He had no patience for liberals who merely talked of change.
"Liberals protest," he wrote in "Rules for Radicals," while "radicals rebel." Liberals become "indignant," while "radicals become fighting mad and go into action."
"Liberals give and take oral arguments," Alinsky added. "Radicals give and take the hard, dirty, bitter way of life."
On the official Barack Obama website is a sign up sheet to attend Camp Obama and become a Deputy Field Organizer. From that site:
They'll be led by experienced Obama campaign staffers and other professional organizers who are eager to empower dedicated supporters like you. After completing Camp Obama you'll be asked to spend the remainder of the election cycle in a battleground state to use your new skills and help Barack win.
I highly recommend that everyone read the entire article. To quote a famous figure, "It is time to be very, very scared."
This method of Alinsky (rules for radicals) is designed to make others play by their rules while having no rules themselves. Lies are everywhere, because it's perception they're leveraging--reality be damned.
And another angle on this is that it (Alinsky methodology) and its Marxist background are a big part of Ayers progressive education movement. And its an educational system that Obama agrees with.
Snapshot link of Alinsky vs. Corp. America here, but it applies to all facets of power and money that they go after extortion and/or control of.
David, did you know Alinsky had a memoir? Then again...
