Yah, you can see some of them at work in another clip

At some point you'd think even they would get a little embarrassed at their blatant hypocrissy and dishonesty.

Oort;

That was a great clip to show how insane these people are. And Coloradoright ended his shrill with Obambi.
But yet thinks he is not racist. Racists pretending they`re not racists. Its a sad comedy act.

“The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the President.”

N2, we know you got your cut and paste skills down pat, would you care to offer anything of substance or should we have to guess what the heck is it that your doing or implying.

One wonders if N2 would be as vocal when our government was interacting with students and schools to teach them how to crouch under their desks with their arms over their heads in the event of a nuclear detonation.

Or maybe he simply had a typo? Let me fix it so we know what he's really talking about :

"The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising by the President if it doesn't support far right conservative republican views."

It wasn't my quote, it was house majority leader Gephardt's quote from 1991. So your modified quote should read "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising by the President if it doesn't support far left liberal democrat views.

Because having a better education to better compete with the world is such a terrible liberal idea eh?

It would have helped if you said that in the first place. BTW, it has nothing to do with the river of stupidity come from the far-right about Obama "indoctrinating" the children, which is the point of this clip.

Mind you, if that was the crux of the complaints, I would agree, no need to waste the money. But it isn't.

The problem is with how the administration handled this from the beginning. Those lesson plans asking children things like 'what can you do to help the president' or 'how did the president inspire you' or suggesting teachers read books about Obama to their students was the first most people heard about Obama speaking to the children.

Add to that how heated things have become this summer with people who oppose the current health care plan being called everything form racists, to shills for the insurance companies, to domestic terrorists and there was no way this wasn't going to happen.

Had they skipped the lesson plan and people had learned about this first from the White House instead of t...

So it's the fault of people pointing out how some opponents of health care reform are shills, gun toting wackos and racist?

Or that the White House would want the kids to know who the man who popped up in the screen is?

You create a whole sort of unfounded accusations based on that?

Pretty flimsy excuse if you ask me. Even if you didn't ask it would still be very flimsy set of excuses.

then maybe the backlash would have been much smaller.
No the backlash would have continued in another form or opportunity. This is pure and simple frustrated people from the right who are hell bent on destroying Obama's presidency (that's what your number one spokesperson wants). The sad part is that they're using kids who can't really control these decisions.

No, it isn't. But thanks for trying to shoehorn everyone who doesn't agree with you into something you can deal with in your mind.
