Fox Nation: "School Children Sing Songs of Obama's Glory"
September 24, 2009 9:14 am ET by Media Matters staff
Following Drudge and the right-wing blogosphere in invading children's privacy, Fox Nation is linking to a YouTube video purporting to show "[s]chool kids taught to praise Obama."
Now for the CONSERVATARD MEDIA who is plastering the video all over the place-they are just as guilty for exploiting these kids. I say sue the creeps
How can we be "sure some kind of law was violated" unless we know the circumstances of who shot the video, who posted it, who approved it?
But to jump from "This is a pretty scummy thing to do" over to "I'm sure there was a crime committed" is getting ahead of ourselves, isn't it?
But it's clear that this was a non-scripted rehearsal, and I really doubt that the kids' parents gave permission to have their kids on this video. Without that permission, journalists and news sources shouldn't be showing kids. Heck, they don't even show license plates of cars on reality shows, or the faces of fat people walking down the sidewalk on news stories about fat people.
It's fools on the right who claim that Obama is our messiah, not us. Find any lyric below that would be something bad to say about any President. Go ahead, I dare you.
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must all lend a hand
To make this Country strong again
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we all must take a stance
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black, or white,
All are equal in his sight
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes, hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
So says the EPA in relation to the protection of the privacy rights of children.
You ain't got diddlysquat.
I am really getting tired of this garbage. It's the same thing every day with these manufactured controversies. Extreme nutjob sites create new paranoid conspiracy theory to provoke a reaction, it makes the rounds, repeat over and over on multiple sites to make it appear more legitimate. Eventually bring it into more mainstream via Faux Noise proxy.
By the time the 'other' side of the story has a chance to come out this story is already being accepted as FACT by the usual suspects and then as soon as the TRUTH get's discovered that shows it all as nothing but SPEW they simply move on to the next paranoid consipiracy theory.
CIVIL WAR OR SECCESSION. TAKE your pick because I think most people like myself have had just about enough of this nonsense. Obviously, the southern nutjobs need a good a$$ wuppin every couple hundred years to put them in their place! Git er done!
This song was sung during the Black History Month educational opportunity at a New Jersey school. Imagine that - they sang a song about a couple of the praiseworthy actions of the first black President during an assembly about Black History Month!!!
Forced to sing a song about the first black President during February? Omigod. What a normal thing for a student to do!
Filmed while they did it? Omigod. Someone filmed a bunch of school kids performing. I've never heard of such a thing - filming kinds performing in a school event.
Stop digging. You're deep enough.
Dear Burlington Township Families:
Today we became aware of a video that was placed on the internet which has been reported in the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country. The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dr. King, Principal of B. Bernice Young School, directly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher M. Manno,
Superintendent of Schools
