  Whomever produced and/or directed this fine piece of propaganda...and you can't spell propaganda without being "pro pagan"...daaah, seems to have forgot to force these innocent children to wear their pieces of 'flair'...I think the Germans referred to it as a swastika...the U.N. blue t-shirts emblazoned with 'HOPE' were nice touch though. Who paid for those? I imagine the music teacher is planning an American History book burning next Sunday, weather permitting.

Freaky Video Surfaces... Cult Kids Sing "Yes We Can" For Dear Leader
Gateway Pundit — IT'S NOW OFFICIAL... IT'S A FREAKING CULT! Children sing "Yes We Can" song about change for Dear Leader: It's a cult. It's like that Texas cult only freakier. Indoctrination. Somebody rescue these kids!

Children's crusade
Ben Smith's Blog — "Think this is a good idea?" asked the original invitation to this well-produced video of Venice, CA children singing for Obama, which Drudge has picked up for its culty feel. I'm thinking the answer in Chicago would be "no."

Obama - Children sing for the Dear Leader
USS Neverdock — Creepy. Is this North Korea?

The Obama Children’s Chorus
Michelle Malkin — this Mao-like music is not helping my children“Revolution” by Lennon/McCartney You say you want a revolution Well you know We all want to CHANGE the world You tell me that it’s evolution Well you know We all want to CHANGE the world But when you talk about destruction Don’t you know you can count me out Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright Alright Alright You say you got a real solution Well you know We’d all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well you know We’re doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait Don’t you know ...

The Indoctrination of Children Begins
Wizbang — These kids are already being taught to worship Obama as if he were some kind of god. That's what kids in North Korea, Cuba, Saddam Hussein's old Iraq, and other totalitarian regimes were taught to do as well. The purpose is if they grow up seeing their leaders as god-like they're less likely to rise up against them. Check out the beginning of the video which says this took place at a neighbor's house in Venice, California, as if it were some kind of spontaneous, grassroots effort by a bunch of musically inclined neighborhood families, but the video itself doesn't support that. They have t-shirts with what looks like a professionally designed ...

Pat Dollard | Young Americans — This is a pro-Obama video, but Charles got it right, it is just flat-out fukn creepy. Nods to LGF.

Exploiting kids for Obama
The Anchoress — I sniff the wind of change, and it smells noxious and it seems suffocating This child has a lovely voice. The song is creeping me out. “We’re gonna spread happiness! We’re gonna spread freeeeeeedom! Obama…” It creeped me out in 2000 when people stood on a streetcorner handing out lyrics and singing songs about how Hillary Clinton was “a human statue of liberty…” who would solve all the world’s problems. It creeps me out even more to see children exploited - to serenade and ...

The HopeChange GroupThink Mindthoughts Song
Confederate Yankee — The HopeChange GroupThink Mindthoughts Song Big Brother Approved. I'll let Kim Priestap delve into just how creepy and reminiscent of the concerts by kids in totalitarian states this is, and focus on those behind it. While described as a grassroots effort, Kathy Sawada, who posted the video and can been seen directing the children in the video, is a bit more than just an enthusiastic music teacher you might find in your average public school. Grassroots all the way, baby Sawada is a teacher at an elite and expensive Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles as part of the Piano faculty . Colburn just built a $ 120 ...

No Place Like Home?
Babalú Blog: an island on the net without a bearded dictator — No Place Like Home? The Obama campaign just keeps making me sick...and homesick all at the same time Obama billed his nomination as the historic moment when “the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal” to the cheers of adoring “followers” worshiping in the cult of his personality. I was surprised that they didn’t get some trained pigeons to land on his shoulders like somebody else we know. The Senator also spoke of his plans for a “ Civilian Security Force ...

Produced, choreographed, and filmed by Hollywood professionals, including Jeff Zucker, President of NBC. Viral attacks devotionals featuring brainwashed children are where it's at in 2008.

Save Us Dear Leader
Six Meat Buffet — This is one of the most offensive things I’ve ever seen. These people are truly riddled with every kind of psychological disorder under the sun. These parents should be jailed for child abuse. And the flute player? Death penalty. Jethro Tull is rolling over in his grave.

Amazing (dis)Grace: Obama children video
Roger L. Simon — Watching this video has disturbed me more than almost anything I have seen in recent years.  It is the kind of exploitation of children that reminds me of Young Pioneer Camps I saw when visiting the Soviet Union in the Eighties.  You could say, as some have, that this is much like what happens with children in churches and synagogues across America, but this is about a political figure - one of two current presidential candidates and the one leading in the polls.  The Drudge headline references the “Dear Leader.”  Quite apt.  Here for you edification are the words of the people who saw fit to put this together ...

Future Members of the Mainstream Media
JammieWearingFool — Really creepy. Reminds me of the Hitler Youth or the kids singing to the Dear Leader in North Korea. Others would call it child abuse. H/T LGF . Bob Owens notes whose behind this effort, including Jeff Zucker, the President of NBC. Isn't that special? More at Wizbang . Here's another group of whackjobs.

Creepy. As. Hell.
Right Wing Nation — From the youtube page: Sing for Change chronicles a recent Sunday afternoon, when 22 children, ages 5-12, gathered to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election. Light, hope, courage and love shine through these nonvoting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing. Sing for Change was a confluence of hard work, good will, and shared vision. Inspired by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser, a music teacher, Kathy Sawada, and the children composed and rehearsed the songs in less than two weeks. ...

Singing the new Gospel of the New Messiah; Update: NBC chief behind the effort?
Hot Air » Top Picks — Singing the new Gospel of the New Messiah; Update: NBC chief behind the effort? posted at 2:30 pm on September 30, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly I’m a little sick of the idea of using children to promote political positions and especially candidates, so I’m inclined to look at this kind of effort with a jaundiced eye under any circumstances. However, this video seems even creepier than most. Sing for Change brags about getting 22 children from 5-12 to regurgitate some execrable lyrics as though they had the first clue about the topic of the songs: It gets even creepier when you read the ...

Astroturfing the Children or the Cult of Obama?
The Jawa Report — September 30, 2008 Astroturfing the Children or the Cult of Obama? Either way, it's kind of scary. It reminds me of our church's children program.

It turns out that this “organic”, homespun, grassroots effort is the doing of the head of NBC/Universal. I guess making them wear armbands with the Obama symbol on them might have been a bit too much?

NBC's Zucker didn't produce Obama video
Michael Calderone's Blog — Drudge helped push a video of a group of children in Venice, CA singing the praises of Barack Obama today with the headline, “VIDEO: Obama Kids Sing for Dear Leader.” So of course, it made the rounds all day online, followed later but this community blog post which lists Jeff Zucker as being involved in the project. Could that be the same Jeff Zucker who runs NBC/Universal?

Behold! The Vanguard of the Class-Conscious Youth!
GayPatriot — Have you ever noticed how some on the left rush to describe our support (no matter how tenuous) for George W. Bush as that of mind-numbed robots adoring a “Dear Leader” who can do no wrong? I mean, we can fault W, criticize his policies, but say, well, we generally like the guy or think he means well and they describe us as ideological zealots, apologists or hero-worshipers. As one critic put it in taking issue with some of our commenters a year ago on this blog: “For six long years, conservatives have publicly labeled anyone who disagrees with “Dear Leader” as a traitor.“ I wonder if he’ll ...

The Obama Cult: Liberal Parents Make Their Children Sing Songs About Barack
Say Anything — Ugh… Reminds me of this: This sort of cult worship has no place in American politics.  We don’t worship our political leaders here, or at least we shouldn’t, be are a country that is to be ruled by the consent of the governed.  Meaning that our political leaders are supposed to be no more than average citizens elevated to positions of power so that they can execute what we want. Worshiping political leaders smacks of monarchism.  Smacks of ...

I love this woman, and we have never met face-to-face … yet. Just the internet and the telephone. My late Aunt/Godmother was a very independent, self-liberated, and savvy woman.

IDEOLOGICAL PSYCHOPATHY
Dr. Sanity — Here are two examples of ideological child abuse: The first is a case of attempted murder for the sake of the ideology: how young girls are being turned into weapons by Al Qaeda: The teenage girl, handcuffed to an iron railing, hangs her head as an Iraqi explosives expert cuts the trigger cords on a suicide vest strapped to her body. Gunshots echo in the distance as the white vest, carrying about 30lb (15kg) of explosives, is peeled off the 15-year-old, leaving her standing in the street in a sleeveless, orange frock. The footage was taken in August, when police said they found Rania Ibrahim Mutlib in a side ...

"As creepy and inappropriate as this singing is -- it’s not as bad as what Obama is actually proposing..."
Althouse — Jim Lindgren tries to figure out what to think about that ludicrous, appalling video of children singing to the glory of Obama. I'd like to say something about it too, but I can't force myself through even the first minute. I gag on treacle. But some people seem to think we should be deeply disturbed by this video.

It is the kind of exploitation of children that reminds me of Young Pioneer Camps I saw when visiting the Soviet ...

Chicago Sun-Times Leaves Out Key Facts About Singing Obama Kids
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — Picking up on an AP story, the Chicago Sun-Times posted the now-infamous video of a group of kids singing about Sen. Barack Obama (paragraph breaks removed): A video featuring children singing a song in tribute to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is a hit on YouTube, garnering 596,000-plus views in just one version. Obama's critics have ripped the song, comparing it to a video of North Korean children singing to their dictator. Supporters defend it as just cute children singing. Judge for yourself. Nowhere in the brief Web site posting did the Sun-Times or the AP note that ...

The Obama campaign had nothing to do with this…
The Moderate Voice — But I hope that they’ll speak against it. It absolutely creeps me out! The children are sweet, but what religious-like zeal drives adults to compose hymns to a presidential candidate, countenance the songs being taught to them, and watch approvingly? I know that many evangelical Christians meld their faith with their politics and I’ve often spoken against it, both as a Christian and an American. But this video finds approaching politics with a kind of religious fervor. The hope that some people are investing in a man–a very talented, intelligent man, but a man, is ...

A Quick Take On Two Controversies,
Stubborn Facts — One that is a kind of creepy, but ultimately is no big deal, and another, which also no big deal, but has the righty blogosphere in total hysterical pile-on mode. As for the first one, consider this video (HT: Althouse): Now, I know it's just a bunch of young Obama supporters singing his praises, but that just looks creepy, and has the unintended consequence of looking like something out of North Korea. Obviously, this isn't anything like that, and by all accounts this wasn't orchestrated by the Obama camp, but not only do I get a weird vibe from that video, shouldn't ...

The Peoples Cube seems to have Barack's number. Among other things, they have an insightful take on those disturbing videos of American children singing the praises of/to Obama: " Kids' hymns to Obama a success of Democrat strategy: If you can't abort them, indoctrinate them." (Does this apply in reverse? If you can indoctrinate them, you shouldn't abort them? That was the basis of Third Reich abortion policy...) And they sell t-shirts that say things like ...

And Miller said "kinda like '50 Nifty United States'," causing Seven to snark, "It's 57. Up your game!"
