So when the Obama camp announced via Twitter yesterday that it was putting its 2012 hoodies on sale, it got some thinking: Is the President trying to capitalize off the death of Martin?
A lot has been made about the hoodie lately. Not only has Geraldo partially blamed it for the death of Trayvon Martin, but its also become a symbol of unity for standing with the slain teen and his family.
So when the Obama camp announced via Twitter yesterday that it was putting its 2012 hoodies on sale, it got some thinking: Is the President trying to capitalize off the death of Martin?
On Monday, the Obama2012 Twitter account sent out this message:
Capitalist PIGS!
From Saul Alinsky’s, “Rules for Radicals”:
“’The organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems,’ and ‘organizations must be based on many issues.’ The organizer ‘must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent ...hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.’”
Living in South Florida, I don’t get to wear my hoodie very often. I’ll never be mistaken for a gangsta; my old hoodie has the crest from my base in England in the 70s.
Now they're making the sweatshirt into some sort of racists fashion statements and yes I'm using the word, this SUCKs( sorry Freepers), makes me NOT to want to buy a danged sweatshirt now and what's worse, what IS WORSE, is my nickname of over 50 years has been "CK" and now I'm embarrassed what the initials stand for, check that I AM VERY embarrassed what "hoodies[sounds like some uncircumcised homosexual"] and chagrined what usage of my legitimate "CK" nickname stands for, I wish I could SUE, heh, would be more rational that some of these flaky lawsuits, defamation of MY character!
