Camp Obama

I received this email today (bold mine).

Dear Beckwith,

Hi, my name is Roger Fisk and I'm the State Director for the Obama campaign here in Massachusetts.  I want to tell you about an exciting program we're launching called Camp Obama.

During these training sessions, people like you will be taking their support for Barack to the next level by learning the (Alinsky) organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on.

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.

Find out more about this exciting opportunity to take a leadership role in this movement for change.

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.

That experience transformed Barack's life and made him who he is today.

Camp Obama is your chance to put those very same principles into action -- to win this election and to strengthen democracy in communities around the country.

After completing the program, you'll be required to work as a Deputy Field Organizer in a battleground state where you'll organize supporters and help lead our grassroots Get Out The Vote operation.

Apply for a spot at Camp Obama and become a leader in our movement for change:

This campaign relies on the passion and enthusiasm of ordinary supporters, but it needs leaders who can organize these supporters and turn their enthusiasm into votes on Election Day.

Camp Obama is your chance to step up and become a leader in this movement.

Thanks,

Roger

Between this Alinsky training program and Obama's "Public Allies" organization, Obama is cloning thousands of himself.  What does he plan on doing with these "movement leaders" after the election, and what is the goal of the "movement?"

This guy is scary -- but he sure is focused and organized.

Didn’t Germany try this stuff back in the 30’s. Moderate Dems and Independents are they really that stupid to still back him.

After he wins the 2008 election, an army of community organizers can make sure we all vote correctly in 2012.

Camp Obama? I seriously thought this was a joke until I clicked on one of the links. I’m still wondering.

[NoGrayZone]

Re-education camp?

Alinsky's hero the first rebel "Satan"

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Doing some research, its either based on Nazi Germany or Best Buy.

brown shirts and arm band supplied!

[Bahbah]

They’re going to “get angry and get in our faces.” I, for one, look forward to someone trying that with me.

“Camp Obama? I seriously thought this was a joke until I clicked on one of the links. I’m still wondering.”

..... No matter how politically ridiculous or extreme it may seem, it is probably accurate if it comes from Massachusetts.

“Moderate Dems and Independents are they really that stupid to still back him.”

This election is becoming a referendum on the collective intelligence of the country.

Obama’s own reeducation camp, how special.

[roaddog727]

Nothing would please me better than to meet one of these “Camp Obama Deputy Field Organizers” face to face.

I don’t expect there would be much left of either his/her ego or physical stature as he/she would be “harmonizing with the ground” in a passive state.

Everything about this guy is so creepy. Note the “Powered by Hope and Supporters Like You” banner on the Camp Obama registration page. It’s like something out of Germany in the 30s.

You mean their Geek Squad? LOL

[RetroSexual]

“Deputy Field Organizers”? Yikes, do they receive a brown shirt upon graduation?

Actually the message suggests to me that their “movement” (shall we call it the BO Movement?) is larger then just this election, and that after they lose they’ll continue to be active.

[SERKIT]

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. If Obama’s history has been erased or at the very least obfuscated, how can you study it? It is amazing how much is either unknown about Barry, or hidden from discovery (real COLB, college transcripts, foreign issued passport used in his youth, records as an Illinois state senator, etc, etc.).

[topher]

Alinsky = Communist community organizer.

Does that mean that KGB/Chi Com will guard the camp with Cuban Communists????

[brushcop]

I believe this is that nebulous organization that was alluded to, “larger than the military” but “not police”, you figure it out. It’s the beginnings of some sort of strong arm force that will morph into something very familiar (when compared historically). I believe it will be made up of radical elements such as the Black Panthers as a core group, you take it from there...

But one thing going for us is that confusion and in-fighting among them can be accomplished.
