I like this response by the CT State Education Commissioner to the crazies

[Jennicut]

In a message to Connecticut schools superintendents today, state Education Commissioner Mark K. McQuillan said some of Connecticut’s school districts have been receiving calls from parents and others about Obama's speech.

He said many of the calls from parents “stem from cable news and conservative radio characterizations of the speech as ‘socialist’ or ‘Nazi-like propaganda’ suggesting that the President is ‘attempting mind control of your children.’”

McQuillan added: “This is truly unfortunate, inaccurate and clearly goes beyond the definition of responsible civil discourse.”

He said his department has reviewed materials relating to the president’s speech and can report “that the major themes of his address are consistent with messages delivered to the nation’s young people from previous Presidents – Republican and Democrat – focusing on the importance of staying in school, working hard, taking responsibility for your learning, graduating and going on to higher education.”http://www.westportnow.com/index.php?/v2/comments/24744/


I am laughing at how MCQuillan characterizes these parents in so many words as Faux news and RW hate radio listeners that are essentially idiots. I am happy to live in CT.

Somebody has to start making sense.
