Oh, Give me a fucking BREAK...

[damonm]

So now, the right is up in arms over Obama giving an address to schoolkids?!?
:rant:
Can they get ANY stupider?
This is nothing more than over-the-top, pathetic hysteria. These people DESPERATELY need to reintroduce themselves to reality. They had no trouble with GWB reading to schoolkids, as he was doing on 9/11, Nor with Bush 41 speaking to schoolkids in
1991, but now that a DEMOCRAT is President - hoo boy! INDOCTRINATION! SOCIALISM! Apparently, according to these brain-dead fools, talking to schoolkids is BAD - unless a Republican does it. Give me a flippin' break!

GET. A. GRIP.

If you are one of those comparing Obama to Hitler - You are an IDIOT.
If you think Obama is socialist or marxist - get a dictionary, because you obviously have NO CLUE what the words you're using mean - AND you're an IDIOT.

Why in hell don't they just come out and say what they REALLY think - that they can't stand the idea that a Black man got elected President, and that all this socialist/marxist/radical Muslim/indoctrination BS is nothing more than "Mommy! Mommy! Make the scary Black man go AWAY!"
Effing IDIOTS.
Rant OFF.

[wtbymark]

1. point dead on

[valerief]

2. The right populace isn't up in arms. The mouthpieces for the right elite are saying the right

populace is up in arms.

[liberalmuse]

3. The Stupid Alert when from 'High' to 'Severe' today.

[noiretextatique]

4. idiot america, your racism is showing

for the entire world to see. please continue.

[NoPasaran]

5. The last time a president talked to school kids

Three thousand people were killed and we got onto two wars we just can't seem to get out of. No wonder they're scared shitless.

:sarcasm:

[Generator]

14. Oh snap!

But that ain't sarcasm unfortunately.

[Phx_Dem]

6. Ed Schultz rant encompassed everything I feel . . . .

disgusted, insulted and royally pissed off.

How dare these fucking cretons insult the President of the United States like that. I would have felt the exact same way if people had done this to Bush or any other President. It is fucking beyond the pale. The President of the United States is not allowed to address school children about education???? Are you fucking kidding me?

I hate Republicans with such a passion now I don't know how I'm going to be able to look at my Republican family over the holidays. I just know one of them will make some rude comment and I'll have to leave. And if I do, I'm taking the pie.

[dionysus]

10. oh, definately take the pie

:)

[Phx_Dem]

16. lol. No pie for them!

[akbacchus_BC]

18. I would assume that the children loved hearing President Obama

read for them. The last resident of the White House was reading the book upside down!

Don't take the pie, show the relatives you are much more kind hearted!

[Blue Gardener]

20. This issue has really pushed me over the edge

Of all the stupid shit the wingnut teabaggers have come up with, this just takes the cake.

[girl gone mad]

21. Sometimes you just have to laugh about it.

I was watching Washington Journal and the Republican callers were a riot. No reason, common sense, rationality or basic decency, just pure unbridled anger that the world they though they understood so well has turned out to be completely different than they imagined it was.

There was one caller from Dayton, Ohio who basically told them to shut up and go sit in their rooms and think about the fact that they lost the election.

[Enthusiast]

24. Listening now.

Unfortunately I missed the Dayton caller.

They now have this neo-con on. He is rewriting history right before our eyes.

[Blue Gardener]

33. It would be easier to laugh at

If my sister and her offspring weren't buying into all this crap hook, line and sinker.

[girl gone mad]

54. My sister is, too..

:(

[jillan]

34. Ed was awesome. The rethugs are trying to diminish the President of the US - isn't that dangerous?

It is beyond sickening.

[solara]

7. Couldn't agree with you more

:patriot:


:kick:

[LibDemAlways]

8. If the chimp had wanted to give a speech my only

objection as a parent would have been that he was such a dumbass and embarrassment, he might say or do something really stupid. However, I wouldn't have made a big issue out of it. Kids should at least be taught respect for the office regardless of how one feels about the occupant.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

9. These people that are trying to censor OUR PRESIDENT are the same people who

claim to be patriotic. The truth is right wingers are no more patriotic than a horse's anus. They just pretend to be.

[hollowdweller]

55. The same people who relentlessly hounded Bill Clinton and tried to ruin him too

The republicans talk a good game on democracy but when it doesnt' go their way they are big crybabies. SORE LOSERS.

Socialisim WTF?? They are going off about the cost of healthcare. Can you imagine how they'd act if they went thru what we went thru? 2 elections decided under dubious circumstances with the LOSER winning the popular vote. I'll tell you one thing if GORE had been a republican congress would have already changed the law to make it the popular vote.

[grantcart]

11. damonm, I now officially commission you to take a break and go fuck.

Gee that was easy!

[damonm]

12. On it at once...

back in an hour.

Better make that two.

;-)

[grantcart]

37. how did it go?

[HillWilliam]

39. I didn't see a reply at this late a date,

You better look for smoke.

[grantcart]

43. I'm looking for a pictorial report

[damonm]

52. And you can keep right on looking...

but it was basically
:woohoo:

[HillWilliam]

59. Ah, no. I'm totally Teh Gay. I'm picky about my

"reading" material :D My partner's screensavers, OTOH, oh-la-la.

[DevonRex]

13. As much Obama hate as there is right here on DU, I'm surprised

anybody cares at all.

[Enthusiast]

25. Way wrong.

It is not "Obama hate". It is disappointment. We are mostly those that supported President Obama with our wallets and enthusiastic support.

[goclark]

36. I supported him with my wallet and total support ~ I didn't

expect that he would be my personal Howdy Doody.

He walked into a hornet's nest and he is trying his best to get us out.

[salguine]

15. They should announce that he'll be reading to them from "My Pet Goat".

[dflprincess]

17. And let's be honest, kids being kids,

The younger they are the quicker they'll start day dreaming and stop listening - and that would happen no matter which politician was talking to them. He'll just be another adult yammering away with a bunch of "you shoulds" for them.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. The RW media love this kind of thing

[Meshuga]

22. I don't watch cable news so is this bullshit getting any play?

And if yes, Are they pointing out the bullshit or making this as a valid argument that a president cannot give a pep talk to students about the importance of education?

I mean, this is stupid and whoever is making a big deal out of this needs to be mocked for being stupid.

[Enthusiast]

26. Correct.

They need to be mocked at every turn. Any media outlet that gives these RW talking points any credence are validating the claim that President Obama is a commie.

[euphoria12leo]

23. No Cable News

I had to stop watching for fear of shooting the tv set. Yes, a Lib with a gun. These people are nuts and making me just as crazy.




No :tv:

[OwnedByFerrets]

27. There are idiots that will do ANYTHING to try to get on tha teevee

And then there are those who are just idiots, period.

[progressoid]

28. Oh sure, they can get a lot more stupider.

[GivePeaceAchance]

29. Sometimes their accusations are so ridiculous I try not to even comment on them...

Sometimes they're just looking for a reaction from us and probably works best not to give them one. They want us to scrap in the mud with them, and it's most times better on higher ground.

[jimlup]

30. The real problem isn't the loons

The real problem is that the media gives them "equal weight".

[AspenRose]

31. Yep

Media reform, stat!

[Lorien]

32. it's a tiny minority but the mSM loves them

we could march by the millions to stop the war in Iraq and the MSM will ignore us, but give them one hysterical teabagger and they'll put that person on camera at every opportunity. The teabaggers aren't our real problem; the media is.

[Lucy]

35. More Idiots and misinforamtion

Subject: President Obama's Speech

Principals:

We are receiving some concerns from parents regarding the televised speech by President Obama, scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2009. The contents of this speech have to do with the status of his proposed Health Care Reform Bill. This is becoming a hotly contested issue on both sides. Because of these concerns I am asking that you find out from your teaching staffs if anyone is planning on watching this telecast, and if so, they would need to send home permission slips for student participation. If a student is excluded from this telecast by their parent, a substitute assignment and location should be provided for them. If you have questions, please contact me.

Thank you - ####

[SodoffBush]

38. Here's what DoD schools are saying:

On September 8 at noon (Eastern Time) President Obama will deliver a national address to the students of America. DoDEA will make this address available on our website at www.dodea.edu.

Dr Miles would like this broadcast from the Commander-in-Chief to be available for all DoDEA students, parents, and teachers. The President will speak directly to the nation’s children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school. The president will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.

We realize, for most of our overseas locations, that schools will be unable to view this in real time due to the time differences around the globe. We will leave the link on our homepage for a few days in the event that schools or families would like to access it on demand at a convenient time.

The US Dept of Education has also made a number of related resources available to accompany the live broadcast. Theses resources are available in the links below.

Kindly make this information available to all.

[onlyadream]

40. I think you're right - it's a race issue

I have a "friend" who was upset b/c her daughter got a Presidential award for her academic achievments last spring. My "friend" was upset that Obama signed it...ugh. I swear, the ONLY people I know that like Obama are my hubby, my sister and ONLY one friend. Everyone else HATES him. I really can't believe it's this bad. I even wonder how he got elected. It really is so pathetic. The thing that really gets me is that they were so OKAY with Bush!!!

[OneTwentyoNine]

42. No....not everyone else hates him.

All you hearing is from the non stop YAPS of those flaming RW NEOnuts. Check out videos of the yelling and screaming at town hall meetings and then look how many aren't or are shaking their heads in disgust.

The silent majority usually stays quite not wanting to get into the fray,but they sure as HELL will vote.

[onlyadream]

57. You must be right, since he did get elected...

but from where I stand, I'm in a VERY small minority. I'm telling you - everytime my kids have a friend over, all we hear is how their parents hate Obama. I guess I live in a very republican area (Long Island).

[Lilyeye]

58. I would think so because all of my mom's repuke friends (from NY) live in Long Island.

[OneTwentyoNine]

41. Latest RW idiot--and leave a comment on CNN

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/04/pawlently-takes-aim-at-obamas-address-to-students/#more-67322

Crazy bastards...............

[Texasbacksass]

44. Maybe I'm wrong but "say what?"

If I'm not badly mistaken Barak Hussain Obama is "half" black, and "half" white caucasion, with the black gene being dominant for his visual appearance.

And furthermore if I'm not badly mistaken, President Obama is pretty damned neutral, ie, not pro any particular color, ethnic group, or even religion as I recall.

But as usual, everything about the man has been reduced to a color of skin issue equally by far too many dwells in the past blacks and whites/repubicans and democrats....and I find it disgusting. And that's why the hardcore extremist democrats and republicans can "color" me GONE forever!

If, and I do say if, President Obama can get this sows ear of a nation to just look like a silk purse, I give a good goddamn less what color he is, and will I give the same good goddamn less what color he is if he falls short getting this nation that was left to him as a debauched mess by mr. snow white bush, goofy dick, and all the other colored and snow white mentally retarded dwarfs in those rotten administrations of his.

[Javaman]

45. Like have been saying lately...

Just when you think the right wing can't get anymore stupid, they go and out do themselves, yet again.

a competition for most ignorant.

[tdavis71180]

46. Don't let the first black man elected pres speak to the kids.

Watch out for the scary black man, he might kill you.


What the hell is wrong with these people? This is the most fucked up thing I have ever heard. "The president is going to brainwash our kids". Where in the hell do they come up with this shit. What, don't listen to the black man, he might inspire all people of color to run for public office, or inspire others to stay in school so that they can have a chance to become someone great? If McCain where giving the speech I definitely then would be scared because the crazy white man picked Sara Palin as his VP. He would inspire our kids how to steal, cheat, lie, and take grandmas life savings by convincing her to go into business together.

I am going to say this again, YOU LOST YOU FUCKING REPUBLICAN ASSHOLES, GET OVER IT. REMOVE THE BOTTLE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH TAKE OFF THAT SHITTY DIAPER, CLEAN UP THE PUKE GET BACK TO WORK AND STOP THE FUCKING CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You had your chance over the last eight years and you fucked everything up, so now its time for a real man to clean things up. Like it or not kids are going to look up to President Obama, hell my 2 year old daughter gets excited whenever she sees him on tv or catches a picture of him. He is not going to brainwash our kids or turn them into racists. GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

[kimmerspixelated]

47. SUper Triple Bingo!

Exactly! They are just trying to get even, or they are embaressed that they produced the idiot prez with their vote, and a corrupted voting program!

[Deep13]

48. I'd like to go to the school and watch it.

Oh well, I guess that's why Marconi created radio.

[mzmolly]

49. Absolutely, it's racism,

period.

[maxpower]

50. Spot On

N/T

[Jack Rabbit]

51. Could they get any more stupid?

Well, they could hijack planes and fly them into federal office buildings and then call themselves patriots. There would be little difference between that and a truck full of fertilizer.

[liberalhistorian]

53. I was in high school and college during

the Reign of St. Ronnie of Reagan, and I clearly remember feeling as if we had to genuflect before him every damned time he opened his mouth. It was as if he were God himself, it was so disgusting. I've never bowed down to ANY politician or leader, Repub or Dem, and I really resented that all throughout his presidency. If people don't want their kids to hear the speech, then just excuse them, it's that simple. They don't need to go batshit insane or demand that everyone else excuse their children as well. Sheesh.
