I suppose we all thought the Obama reelection effort had jumped the shark when we had Lena Dunham telling us all about how great our "first time" (voting, that is) would be with Obama.
But no. This is worse. So, so much worse.
Courtesy of Allahpundit over at Hot Air, here's a creepy video of children singing about the alleged horrors of a Romney presidency:
A sampling of the lyrics:
Imagine an America
Where strip mines are fun and free
Where gays can be fixed
And sick people just die
And oil fills the sea
We don't have to pay for freeways!
Our schools are good enough
Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff
Whoa.
It's not actually from the Obama campaign, but it's certainly using the same messaging that POTUS has been pushing. As AP points out, this is sort of reminiscent of videos like this or this, except that unlike those two (equally as creepy) clips, there's no "lending a hand" or "spreading happiness and freedom." We're blaming Mom and Dad for voting for Romney, and thereby killing Big Bird and a whole lot of polar bears.
Again. Whoa.
Yet it's indicative of the Obama 2012 message: vote for me because the other guy will literally murder people and animals. Only, from the mouths of babes, it's decidedly more icky. Heck, these children are too young to understand half of the stuff they're singing about. At least hope and change and peace and love were generic enough concepts that even a five-year-old can knowingly support. This is just disturbing.
Do beauty pageants lie about political parties, too? These children are being brainwashed into a lie-based political mindset.
OMG!!! I can’t bring myself to watch children SING such a song....and blaming their parents!! Sick parents to LET them sing this crap!
And the adult men (professional “got milk?” advertisers) putting those words into the mouth of babes is not only sickening but cowardly. They hide in the background while manipulating their little puppets (and that’s all the kids are to them) into blaming parents everywhere for all the terrible things that might happen to the world if Obama loses — essentially saying that any parent who doesn’t vote for Obama must be completely unconcerned about the future of their own kids.
I will be interested to see what product this advertising firm tries to sell next. Don’t think i’ll be buying it, not after witnessing the manner in which they tried to cram a harmful product (Obama) down our throats by claiming it’s really the alternative product that is deadly.
Disgusting.....totally disgusting using children like this and BRAINWASHING them before they know ANYTHING!
It’s easy to go overboard in watching this tripe. I mentor a high school club. To nearly the last one of 14-18-year-olds, they think Obama is full of crap. They won’t admit it to their classmates in general, but when in a small group or club they feel free to call Obama crazy or stupid or evil. If Obama wasted $200M on useless anti-Romney ads, he’s spent billions on useless Marxist tripe. Kids may go along with this nonsense when they’re nine but they have thrown it off by 18 except for a few hardcore Leftist lunatics — who become Libtard journalists or educators.
