Sing For Change (Original)

[pkr52180]

This video is dated 2008. Wonder what the teacher thinks today. Singing a different tune I bet. The kids are wearing T-shirts that say HOPE... What a crock of BS. Our only HOPE is in GOD, not Obama. He is NO Christian and NO American. If we value our liberities and freedoms we need him out of the WH the sooner the better. God help us all.

[Livefreerevolution3]

This just loosened up my bowels...THANK YOU!

[thetruthisoutthere32]

I wonder if these people feel as stupid as those who participated in Hands Across America. It's sickening on so many levels.

[ClubsOfHearts]

The old days.

[cfini72]

YOU'VE BEEN HAD HAD HAD YOU'VE BEEN HAD HAD HAD ...SING IT!

[strawberEfieldz4ever]

Why don't these students sing "God Bless America" or something!

[CWScott24]

@strawberEfieldz4ever because it would offend the less than 20% of americans who dont believe in any type of deity, it would also offend those who hate america. the the liberals must not offend anyone, because they are stupid.

[AnalMart]

These "neighborhood" kids go to some hotsy totsy private arts school in LA. Much of the camera and editing work was done by Jeff Zucker (CEO of NBC) himself. NBC is owned by GE with their CEO as an Obama crony appointee. During the campaign NBC news even had office space for Obama campaign staffers to advise them on how to best present their candidate. Makes me absolutely sick.

[blablaidontcarewhour]

Sounds a little like Woodstock. A bunch of people singing for change... change that never came

[shankarsingam]

this is nothing. Normal for Venice Beach. Type in JESUS CAMP PRAYING TO BUSH in the search bar. Now That shit is scary.

[2012vote]

IDIOTS

[Durka101]

Guys, they're in Venice,CA. That's pretty normal for them.

[bkekss]

The thing is the president is not our leader he is an executive of We The People. We The People are the CEO's of this country whomever the president is they work for us not the other way around. The president is not a 4 year king. The hierarchy is We The People, the States, the federal government- judicial, legislative, and executive surrounded by the rule of law- The Constitution. We our the Sovereign. I implore everyone to wake up to facts of how this country was truly founded.

[cmyoung1969]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Luv2MindScrew]

Fucking Asian bitch teaching these kids to spew this SHIT

Oh would I love to blow a shot gun right up her slanted ass

[Lycanus]

After watching this I'm asking myself: What kind of future is America planning for itself?

[dealingwithmorons]

To the parents of these poor kids... You whored your children out to make a political statement. Many people call your babies "Hitler kids"! How could you be so ignorant? As a parent, your most important job is to keep your children safe and protected. Look what you've done...your beautiful children are called "creepy"."weird" etc. (to put it mildly). Next time you feel compelled to make a statement...don't use your children as pawns!

[Wolfen443]

@dealingwithmorons, I hope that do not end like the Hitler Youth 20th. Division, dying for their Lunatic Fuhrer in D Day. Never minc, they are too young to vote or fight in 2012, still creepy anyhow.

[elelisrael]

enjoy your fema camps motherfuckers

[ancestralyuba]

You might as well just give these kids a daily dose of LSD for all the future they're going to have with parents like this.

[birdman026]

TheSteelGeneral, you to need to get the fuck back on your meds seriously bro. I guess you also believe the moon landing was staged, Bush was behind 911, and Cheney is actually a vampire. Brewersrule1978 pretty much summed up what I had to say.

And emekamarcel you need to take the blinders off and see the real Obama.

[pstennisace]

hey liberal and left wing commenters  on this video who support it! guess what?! FUCK YOU

[emekamarcel]

Obama is the beloved president. For the first in a long time, we have an intelligent president, a president who thinks of the middle-class. For the first time, we have a president who knows how to engage the rest of world leaders.

[ancestralyuba]

Obama is a fraud.

[birdman026]

The ZackFiler, you are such a tool.

[TheSteelGeneral]

you just liked to get assfucked by bush. He took your health care away from you, yet you keep begging for more ass fucking. He's not a christian, no one in the repuKKKe party is, least of all Sarah imPaling, who abused her fourteen year old as an rape-incest prop, while she condems the REAL victims of incest rape to a baby conceived by their own father or brother

[brewersrule1978]

More maturity. BUSH took HC away? He EXPANDED Medicare and prescription drug coverage. Incest? Dude, you need some serious help when your black helicopters come to get you. You should probably take a look at why you're living off on conspiracies and anger, maybe then your eyes will open to a man that's close to Hugo Chavez than any President we've had and you'll stop being such an insulting twit.

[birdman026]

You have some real serious mental problems bro.

[kyhusker11]

this is so wrong and messed up in so many ways. wow, really America?

[philaheen]

Makes me want to puke!

[cuttheloop]

Proof, kids will do just about anything for a free T-shirt.

[satansgoalie]

this is awful! this teacher should be ashamed of herself, indoctrinating children like this.

[torchss]

This video makes me ill.

[htubild]

This is hilarious. But you know, there are idiots that would do something like this for Rush Limbaugh too.

Maybe not as many, OK ..not nearly as many. But there ARE goofballs on both sides.

[radioactivenews]

Well there are more than a million videos posted on YouTube. I dare you to find me one as creepy as this for Rush Limbaugh or any Republican. Keep in mind this video is not a parody. Have at it! But I won't hold my breath!

[htubild]

Granted, this Obama worship is probably unprecedented but there has to be something similar for Reagan maybe?

I don't know ...who else on the right has been deified like this? I'll keep my eyes out. I wouldn't take it too seriously though. These poor bastards are just going to be more disappointed then the rest of us when they find out that Obama is just a regular guy who won't do any better with this mess of an economy than any other politician.

[TheZackFiler]

Obama is far from being deified, this happens only in the fantasy-mockery of the fundamentalist rightwingers.

Kids sing a song of hope. ooooooh. Rightwingers go nuts. Because hope, and the truth have a liberal slant ....

[itsmarc7216]

there's nothing wrong with kids singing for hope. It just gets inappropriate when you insert a politician's name in there. It doesnt matter if it is Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan.  Its creepy when you see praise/support songs performed for Kim Jong IL, Castro, etc. They're very similar to this song too....scary....

[TheSteelGeneral]

Obama is the most powerful person in the world, its not wrong to pin ones hopes on him, especially if he comes from a humble background (like Kansas) like Obama. Bush and McCain are silverspoon babies, elites kids who are not really able to feel the sorrows of the common man.

[brewersrule1978]

Uh, this isn't just some song about HOPE. This is a song to a then-candidate Obama (which makes it even MORE sick) being put on in show format by taxpayer-funded schools ran by unions that support him. For 10 seconds, imagine what the outcry would be if this were to GW Bush or, even, to God? Fundamentalism has nothing to do w/indoctrination in union-led schools that backed this guy. Wake up and quit being a partisan hypocrite.

[TheSteelGeneral]

Kids sang to Bush too!!!!

w w wDOThuffingtonpostDOTcom / 2009 / 09 / 25 / flashback-students-sang-b_n_30­0372DOThtml

===

a "chilly rain" which must have seemed appropriate given the fact that the children were actually thanking the administration for its feeble response to the hurricane.

===

Like, "Thank you mr Bush! for fucking up our home!"

[brewersrule1978]

Uh, 1st of all, it's not right on either side of the political party spectrum if you're singing TO A SPECIFIC Prez. 2nd, your "evidence" song goes like this: "..Congress, Bush and FEMA People across our land Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!" That's a FAR different than not 1, but 3 songs to the specific man, Obama, who they are proclaiming as the great leader. If you wanna drink the Obama kool-aid 'til America's on its knees go ahead, rest of us woke up.

[TheZackFiler]

search for Jesus Camp, Kids worshipping a CARDBOARD cut out of Bush, not even the real bush.

Whats so funny is that y'all licked the ass of a murderer and a thief. And now you blame us for admiring an honest man.

Bush didn't even have the guts to go after Osama, or to put the real cost of the Iraq war (wrong country) on the budget.

At least Obama shows us what he's doing.

y'all goose-strepped behind a liar, who took your health care. You have nothing to tell or teach us.

[shankarsingam]

@radioactivenews kids singing about Obama..okay kinda weird, kids praying to Bush, SCARY!

type in Jesus Camp Praying to Bush in the search bar.

Republican Taliban.

[bcat98pacbellnet]

Hitler youth revisited. Scary.

[incoserv]

Yeah, brought a tear to my eye as well. Weeping and mourning over innocence lost. They're getting change, for sure. Change right up from where W. left off....

[ObamaForAllPeople]

Beautiful video,,, brought a tear to my eye. : )

[TheZackFiler]

So much better that the video of a bush sheeple kids worshipping a cardboard cut out of bush .... im not kidding!!! google it!

[Durandal1492]

This scene in Jesus Camp is not representative of the Christian Right. Most Christians are peleocons, and know that Bush/McCain are neocons (i.e. less religious), but vote for them because socialists like Obama are even worst than neocons.

On the other side, this Obama chorus is very representative of Obamania.

[QuillMoreTexans]

Dude, you LOST!! get OVER it. NeoKKKons, RepubiKKKunts and RepuKKKes all around, i don't care what you call your selfs, WhatEVERR-KKKons, are morally corrupt, definitely NOT Christians, you hijjacked my faith, not gonna take that any more. u should be shot traitor.

There's hope for you yet, since you're ASHAMED OF THAT SCENE! Must be nice to be a bushlover, living in a fantasy world, where he didn't WRECK the economy, torture people and got 4500 US troops killed for OIL & to impress his momma

[TheZackFiler]

not representing??? Says YOU. if i look at all the crazies out in washington protesting whipped up, fantasy socialism, i'd say Jesus Camp is mild compared to the real neoKKKon world.

your side thinks birthers, deathers, and beck are all sane people?!!!!!!

your side sees no problem with John Ensign, and only a little problem with Vitter and Sanford.

nuff said.

[EyeRwra]

sick

[BloodTar]

This Kathy Sawata that had these kids sing this should be jailed for child abuse and brainwashing. This is fucking creeeeeeepy as shit.

[holymight]

Disgusting... Smells of the Hitler youth.

[SlyToocan]

What a group of androids..........

Notice the sign "sing for change". Makes me wonder if singing for food works?

It would be time better spent.

[zzquanto]

How cute. Its sort of like a Christmas program. Different guy but equally unintelligible. When they tire of being used, these kids will discover Atlas Shrugged.

[ladyshondra]

this is exactly what james clavell wrote about in his short story 'the children's story" you can google it and read it online. s short read and a cautionary tale. read it please!

[ViN86]

pfft, gifted my ass

[glamourweaver]

I'm a proud Obama supporter, and I find this creepy. Thankfully Obama & the actual campaign had nothing to do with it, so i'm not actually worried (and thus the comparisons to Hitler Youth are ridiculous), but it's still creepy for anyone to use kids like this for a political cause.

[mpvanderwall]

Well, Obama had it on his official website.

[CountArtha]

It has since been taken down, but he's done nothing to repudiate it. I've only seen it on YouTube and a couple blogs; evidently the media has looked the other way...

[utopiapraxis]

It's a different time and different context, but using kids like this is a sign that things are bad. Hitler Youth is one example of this given the proper historical context .

[ClearFire1]

I bet they have Joe Biden stuffed animals.

[d3athg0d13]

dude... that's just creepy...

[kdd300]

Sing for the great leader children!!! SING!!!!

Sick

[coulterfan2491]

How cute! There's already an Obama Youth Movement! Welcome to American dictatorship, comrades!

[larissathatsme]

this makes me sick!!!

[24nutz]

brain washed??

[aeking8511]

This is just SICK... how disappointing!

[westfalcon4]

wow...does hitler's youth come to anyone else?

[fhyman]

To Samlind: while adults have the right to feel however they want about the presidential candidates,and that's fine, children shouldn't be exploited for the cause. There are child labor laws for a reason and why child pornography is illegal how is this any different? When a campaign is trying to USE kids to raise the votes they're just as bad a the other people that I mentioned. Plus children are heavily influenced by their parents believes until a certain age but that's into psychology and such

[jaeger1447]

Gonna rearrange it? What, the Constitution?

I'm scared.

Whose idea of happiness and freedom?

Oh, well, a popstar will be our next president...either that or another neocon puppet...two flavors of the same pile of statist turd.

[glamourweaver]

More like rearrange the law & structure of government to actual be in line with the Constitution. You know, the checks & balances, habeus corpus rights, etc. that went out the window during the outgoing administration.

[Machnoozz]

I just get reminded of Hitlerjugend from the second world war.

this is scary.

has to be stopped

[deutschraven]

definitely creepy

[Samlind]

Keep your outrage and anger. Although you probably still believe Duhbya was a wonderful president, things are changing in this country, get used to it. After 8 years of stupidity and irresponsibility, the massive failure of those policies you represent is obvious for the whole world to see. America, strong as it is, can't stand any more of this daydreaming idiocy. Maybe your kids are clueless, but many kids are much more savvy than you seem to be able to conceive.

[Raughwe]

Very nice. May I finish your comment (why thank you). "And the streets will flow red with the blood of Obama deniers".

[chadsummers01]

Sam, did you never learn from history? Hitler youth did this same crap as well as most other mainline dictators. Stop being stupid.

[fool1shmortal]

I have a feeling he may do nothing much until he runs as an incumbent&provided he wins that. Well, he would be president still in bum! bum! bum! 2012--kinda creepy, dontcha think? Well, I'm joking about 2012, but not that a pres. would wait till a second term 2 do something very unsettling. Still, putting abortion survivors in soiled utility rooms, voting in euthanasia&all other kinds of perversions they call marriages, my start sooner. since Malthuis, educated elites hated the weak.

[winkpw]

You're an idiot.

[MichaelJohnsBlog]

Sickening.

[legaleagle123]

creepy....

[abzz123456789]

DUUUUDE. Watch ur back. The CIA will be up yourass hardcore for that threat.

[Corizl]

wtf this is scary

[hillmedia22]

to milenko6969, theres nothing wrong with passing down values to children, however there is something wrong with making them do this.

[milenko6969]

I just don't see the problem. Everyone (kids, parents, teacher) looks proud and that is a good thing.

Do the kids know what they're really singing about? I don't know. Maybe, considering the parents seem pretty involved.

The bottom line is that there is nothing more acceptable in this country than a parent passing on their beliefs... whether it be politics or religion.

[hooah213]

If elected Obama will repeal the 22nd Amendment. Then he can become President for life.Stop him. Vote McCain/Palin 08

[Ninsuna]

My first thought when I saw this was how reminiscent it is of Hitler youth. (And that's analogy, not comparison ... I'm not calling Obama "Hitler".) I remain NObama all the way.

[SonnySRT4]

And with this video my vote goes to Maverick and Palin.

I will not vote for a cult type following just because he makes a good public speech and says change is coming. Change could be a bad thing, in this case it looks very odd/a cult type shit.

[fagdickeater]

These Kids probably have no idea what the fuck they are singing about.

[TheKiyobi]

What the hell!? Why is my daughter in this video!?!? This is the last time I let the neighbors babysit her...

[artemis133]

For gods sake dont drink the Kool Aid at the obama rallies. Just check out the starry eyed teachers who propogated this b.s.. Are these kids obama supporters or Jim jones' flock The kids are so hyped you cant understand the dribble they are spouting.

[malan89]

I think the website for the Colburn School got hacked to show this page. ROTFLMAO

[Jujutsuka4LIfe]

Fucking creepy shit.

[Caracarisma]

Jim Jones would be so proud. Not only indoctrinate the children, but bring them together with matching T-shirts, led by a spastic supposed grown-up, and have them sing Hitler youth songs. What great parents! And they are just beaming as their little robots sing. How sickening.

[blackcatsoda]

Can you say indoctrinate?????????

Fire this teacher and bring her up on charges of corruption and child abuse

[michiganois]

I wouldn't drink the Kool Aid they'd serve at this party.

[LTNetjak]

This is absolutely sick. Children have no business being drug into any political process, it doesn't matter who you support. As avoiding to further prove Godwin's Law, I'll remind people that this is just like that garbage Kim Jong-Il of North Korea makes people sing at the end of gun barrels. We aren't voting for a God or a messiah, we're voting for a chief executive of America.

[tet3]

Or, it's parents teaching their values to their children. While I wouldn't necessarily engage in this project, my kids have come along on lit drops for candidates I support. I explain to them the issues in the election, the role of the elected official, and give them the option of participating. Isn't teaching your kids your values and spending time with them GOOD parenting? It's fine if you don't like the message, but the criticisms here are over the top and purely partisan concern trolling.

[Izzit13]

How old are they?Unless your a moderate, there's no way you're presenting all the information unbiasedly to them.Of course you're going to teach them what you believe.But you can't say that they truly understand both sides and are making a decision based on their own knowledge(well, they are, based on the facts that you choose to give them).I'm not saying your bad. I'm saying that like most Americans, are training your kids to think the way you think,UNLESS you are presenting both sides equally.

[shelbyandersen]

is this about obama or jesus? wow.

[liuliubee]

This is disgusting and no different than a pedofile luring a child by trickery and using the child for whatever purpose they choose. DISGUSTING! Sounds a lot like Nazi Germany-using children for political propaganda.

[delbeckwith]

can i get a BRAINWASHING? jesus H-christ ive never seen such indoctrination. these kids are gonna be so sad when obama taxes the lifeblood out of their parents' small buisnesses wiht his tax plans. wonder if theyll sing about him then. i propose a new song for those tired of this crap. "We're Not Gonna Take It"

[Ge0rgeWBush]

Hitler viewed this video from his place in Hell.

...and even he was a little frightened by it!

[QuartuvLarry]

You could accurately say I'm a tentative member of the religious right...but Jesus Camp freaked me out, and THIS freaks me out...

[red5llaw]

Brainwashing 5-12 year olds. Obama is gonna change it. If Obama has his way it will a Grand New World, With a Socialist USSA paying for all the failed economies of the world.

If not out and out Communism. Kalifornia. Who'd have thunk it!?

Children inform on your Parents if they say ANYTHING against Comrade THE Wonderful Leader Obama, and he will send the "Truth Squad" to RE-Educate them in the "Honest" Facts of Life!

PLEASE Vote McCain/Palin and SAVE our Kids having to clean up Obamas MESS

[ExcursionGuy84]

Type in "Not Gonna Bow" by Russ Taff. it's a good response for refusing to "bow" to idols like candidates.

And I'm with the Maverick and the Sarah-cuda!

[grjazzman2001]

Sing For Change. Is very good, considering it was made by hollywood insiders. I have to hand it to them, this is really The Cult of The Personality. California seems to breed cults.

[LadyCitizen]

To use small children who probably don't even know what a candidate IS, is very disturbing. Brainwashing at it's finest.

[aboyfromcapecod]

I honestly can't sit through the whole thing, it makes me sick!

[albatrossforlife]

I told you it was repulsive, However it is important that people realize that this type of stuff is going on. The author of this piece is planning another one.

[aboyfromcapecod]

If these poor kids only knew that he wants them all dead!

[PhillyEmeraldguard]

obama has learned from the hitler youth

[albatrossforlife]

OMG!!....ALL the PARENTS are there supporting this? What makes it so dangerous is the fact that they do not KNOW they are engaging in socialistic activities!!!

[albatrossforlife]

Kathy Sawada should hop her ass back over whichever ocean she travelled to get here. This is America and we do not roll like that!!

[aboyfromcapecod]

Yeah, I posted this on my facebook and made it a favorite. People need to see this guy for what he is, a total hypocrite and evil person.

[Izzit13]

Obama didn't organize this video... Be smart. And REALLY... an evil person? You have 3 other idiots who agree with you, too. Will I vote for him? Probably not. But I'm sorry, I'd rather you be an educated voter. He's not evil. Not sure who brainwashed YOU to believe that.

[TripleZ89]

Sooo The "Brown shirts" will be under the guise of "blue shirts"" now, right?

Everybody goosestep now! Yes we can 2 3 4 Yes we can 2 3 4... Salute 2 3 4 ...

[o7jimmy]

It is sad to use children for a natural man like Mr. Obama. :(

[onecelticwarrior]

Lets make this socialist propaganda go viral!!! I've already seen this story mentioned on all the news networks,plus Inside Edition & Access Hollywood.

[johnyranger]

Note: The original video seems to have been pulled. Most likely because the nutcases who made it in the first place didn't realize how negatively others would view their attempts to brainwash children.

[adwizdom]

Wow... I'm going to have to agree with all the other posters here. This is a little too similar to the Hitler Youth program. This is just an irresponsible use of children.

[tyrohne]

Can someone please recommend something that will get the creepy off of me? At the end, the kids look nervous and shifty as if they don't know what they just did or if they aren't sure if they'll be lauded or beat. This woman and the kids parents should be flogged simply for being dumbasses.

[rchlovn]

Reminds me of how Nazi Germany brainwashed the kids that had no idea of what was going on to become "The Hitler Youth". Actually, the ages are from 0 to old hippie when it comes to obama. Dems are all children wanting a free-for-all to smoke pot, destroy Christianity and America.

[nathan111191]

More liberal propaganda. Reeks of mindless drones paying homage to Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Castro. Can people really be so blind to ignore the writing on the wall? Appears so...
