Is it me or is this weird?

Can anyone say Hitler Youth?
YouTube - Sing for Change Obama

Comments anyone?

I guess somebody else thought it reminded them of Hitlers youth as it has been removed!
The video was a group of very beautiful children singing the praises of Obama urged on by what I can only assume was their parents!
It was reminiscent of the youth that dictators gather together to sing to them, or follow them around as to make the dictator appear benign and loving!

I wanted to throw up!

Yikes!!!! Man someone got all over that pretty darn quick. :hmmm:

Without being able to see it, I can't really comment.
But isn't this type of stuff typical for american politics? I imagine the same type of thing goes on at McCain publicity event. Perhaps not singing, but it'll be a speech or something or other.
The pledge of allegiance is a similar sort of mandatory unification / polarization charade.

In all my years, I have seen nothing like this in American politics, Bruno!

I haven't been able to actually see the video so I don't know how bad it was.

I guess I shouldn't make comments either as no one else will see it either!

How exactly did you find such video?

If you look around yourself with an open mind you'll be surprised how many things will invoke similar associations. A good book to reread is animal farm.

That's why I mentioned the pledge of allegiance. A nice piece of dissent quelling material if there ever was one. And if you disagree it is all to easy to get marked as un[atriotic and unAmerican.

What about hymns? Aren't most of them singing about Christ the spiritual leader?
