Kansas City Star Editorial Board: The shameful spectacle over Obama's speech
The really fringe right wing attributed Obama's victory in 2008 to hypnosis.

Is Obama Using Hypnosis in His Speech?...Yes.

Needless to say, since the Far Right cannot believe that McCain lost because he was the weaker candidate echoing the policies of a failed presidency -- it must be mind control that only the Far Right could resist!

Get real!

The Cult of the Conservative World View just can't frighten enough Americans to put another neocon in the White House.

The only thing Obama is going to indoctrinate kids into is 'stay in school' and 'value education.' Not very subversive.


The latest controversy dividing this great nation is whether it’s appropriate for the president to speak to school children.

In an online address set for Tuesday, President Barack Obama is expected to welcome students back to school and suggest they stay in school and work hard. He’s expected to urge them not to drop out of high school.

The reaction, from the political right, has been anger; wild accusations that he’s planning to indoctrinate kids with socialist ideology. Local school districts have been flooded with calls from parents worried their kids might be exposed.

Is this where we are as a nation? If so, it’s embarrassing. Whether individuals support this president or not, he represents the United States. Respect is owed to the office, and to the man for whom a majority of Americans voted.

2. Thanks, KC Star. The comments are a mixture of sane and batshit.
