Mr. News
AS far as I'm concerned, his parents should be turned over to Child Protective Services and charged with Child Abuse.
No doubt he's heard the voucher rant from his parents many times.
I find the kid repulsive. I'm sure he'll find a home in Troglodyte Talk Radio before he even graduates from High School.
Kids that age make good little robots; they're easily brainwashed.
The other two aren't nearly as flamboyant, but I commend them for at least appearing to express original thought.
Raise your hand if you think Glenn Beck Jr in this Fox clip will ever be any kind of "statesman," elder or otherwise.

I love the children and we have to become more kid friendly.
(The 14yo on the bottom left of the screen will be the next Hannity or O'Reilly)
Two well educated youngsters with reasoned arguments and tehn you have Lil Limbaugh who spouted the same drivel that is debunked on this site daily.
You will also notice who was given the last word on each topic.
Nothing Fox"news" does surprises me anymore.
That 14 year old is imitating, not thinking. Sad that he'll probably never learn the difference. And at the end he throws in a little jab at the other children with his practiced "elder statesman" comment. Even his ego is a carbon copy of Hannity.
I saw those kids this morning on fox,two of the kids were great,very thoughtful and serious minded in their answer to the host,the other kid was asking like rightwing hack,it was pitiful and down right sad.I have seen this kid on fox many times,he is well program.
I've seen the 14yo kid before. Each time I see him I am less and less impressed--his politics aside. The poster who said that he is simply reciting and imitating is ABSOLUTELY correct! I have no doubt that he is a fairly intelligent young man--but no more so than the average/slightly above average kid. What this kid has in abundance, however, is complete, unabashed ARROGANCE. Arrogance that masquerades as intelligence (and it doesn't even do that convincingly). It was painfully obvious that this kid was out-classed by two...TWO 11 year-olds, who actually seemed to display SOME thoughtfulness in their responses, nor did they need to resort to belittling their colleagues with condescension and histrionics (gee, I wonder WHERE he might have learned that?).
This is the problem with ultra anything, let alone ultra conservatism. It keeps NOTHING in its proper context. It completely eschews any notion that it has anything to learn from anyone or anything but itself, and in doing so breeds a dangerous, toxic, and unyielding brand of arrogance, that seeks only to disregard, diminish, and ultimately destroy that which does not agree with it. Once i got over my own laughter and cynicism, I realized that NEVER is this truth clearer than in the mind and actions of a child.... That's the real scary thing here...that this kid is the face of of what this movement has and is becoming in our world....

Further, to see Doocey snickering on the split screen, just highlighted how they were just using this kid for entertainment.
Even for Fox and Friends it was a low point
*throws hands in the air and gives up!!
In fact, to say they 'act like children' is an insult to well raised children.
