Obama's speech to the children of America. I just figured it out.
The "real" reason that certain conservative/neocon/fascist parents don't want their children "exposed" to the President's speech tomorrow: They don't want their children to LIKE him, to RESPECT him, to FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE. And they don't want their children arguing with them about how great Obama is, living with potential democrats.

3. Ding ding
and they don't want their children to know that they are 'morans' and Obama is a genuine role model. How can they allow Obama to shatter all those myths they've attempted to shove down their kids's throats. Obama is not what they told their kids about black men.

4. A lot of it is the whole black man white woman thing.
This crap is passed along from generation to generation.

5. And another thing
If children become educated, they will probably be, GASP! , Democrats! And that will just not do.

7. Yep. I've been thinking the same thing
They don't want their children to like him, and think he's cooler than their bible-thumping, gun-owning parents.

8. the heart of the matter.
They know he's popular with youth and are afraid his articulate, intelligent charm he will win them over and they will realize how wrong their parents are about him.

9. RWers believe in magical "religion", such as 6000 year old earth, in the face of
science and intellectual proof of reality. The GOP is deathly afraid of smart, thinking, educated people - those people tend to want better than what the GOP is giving out.

10. Ironic that they call Obama's speech to kids "indoctrination" when that's exactly what
they are doing to their kids. They don't want them to be "educated". They indoctrinate them to believe man walked with dinosaurs and selfishness is good, and are terrified they will be awakened to their potential for critical thinking, empathy and independent thought. That would destroy the GOP.

11. They don't want their kids to listen to reason
They only want them to cower in fear and do whatever the powers that be tell them to do.

(And a lot don't want them to realize a black man is articulate and human.)

13. Haven't you seen all those photos...
...of Obama holding or interacting with kids?
The morans KNOW that kids love him, and they are scared to death that their own kids will as well.

14. They actually feel that Obama is some sort of hypnotist
otherwise, how could so many of their non-urban American neighbors have voted for him? They figure their children will come under his sway, as well.

That's most likely the reason they make the Obama-Hitler comparison, they fear it happening again. They're irrational, but simple minds like simple messages.
