Wasn't sure where to put this article, so I posted it here. Check out Daniel Reilly's commentary (was he watching the same thing the rest of us were?)

1. very articulate kids

The Reilly kid is a true freeper in the making. He got it 180 degrees wrong. Kerry kept changing the subject? Laughably inaccurate. Sounds like a Tweety post-debate panelist.

12. He must have been brainwashed from an early age

either that or he enetered a bizarro world

[Philostopher]

2. He apparently wasn't watching the same thing

any of the other teens were watching, either. The only other one who gave Bush* any points at all, really, was the one who said he came across as 'more personal.'

And that's Florida -- at least nobody's turned off those kids' bullshit detectors yet! Here's to them hanging on to the ability to see through thinly-veiled bullshit until they're old enough to vote.

7. well, drool is pretty personal

but all of these kids sound smarter than some of the freepers we've had to listen to.

[Philostopher]

10. They sound smarter than most of the people I talk to every day.

That's what's so sad.

3. Daniel ...

he needs to learn what a law enforcement officer is... doesn't the kid watch Law and Order?

4. Might his middile initial be "O"?

5. District Attorneys are law enforcement officers

Daniel's on his way to another C-.

6. Daniel Reilly's response reminds me of the mindset of

indoctrinated Hitler's Youth. Brainwashed before he gets out of high school.

[BUSHOUT]

8. Great reactions. The teenage sheeple comments are funny! n/t

9. Little Daniel is a god fearing red blooded American neo-con

produced by his parents with the help of the local Sunday School teachers and Youth Ministers.
This is how all our children will act after the schools are converted to faith based religion sights.
I bet little Danny boy is at home right now reading his beatitudes

14. My son (12 yrs old) came to me after the debate

and said he really likes John Kerry for many reasons, but he especially liked how he includes everyone's beliefs and not just his own (we're Catholic, like Kerry). He won't legislate his faith. Junior, on the other hand, my son said, "Only talked about Christians like him. He left out everybody else in this country and the world. That's wrong."

Thassa my boy! :toast:

16. Sounds a lot like my 11 year old.

Sometimes Kids see things with out all the bull!

[Zuni]

11. Daniel obviously lives in a fantasy land of fairies and leprechans

I think he watched a debate in an alternate universe

[Minimus]

13. these "teens" make this 40-something feel stupid

I do not agree with many of their statements.

but boy, they sure are edumacated ain't they?

[The Wielding Truth]

15. These are very insightful teens giving better commentary than

some major news broadcasts.
