Fox & Friends hosts parent who plans to "keep kids home" from Obama stay-in-school "indoctrination" speech

If you watch the Body Language of both Doocy & Kilmeade even they were Ashamed of this Profile.
Treating the President of the United States like a Pedophile?
Hatred for the First Black President should be a little more inert.
I never thought it would ever again be in Vouge to wear your Racism on your Shirt.

Speak truth to power.


Mr. News

"I don't want that Black President talking to my Kids"
I guess in the "Rights" mind it's Obama's fault the Economy's on the Skids.
"He's a Communist, He's a Socialist" I guess if you say it often enough it becomes an accepted Fact.
Can you imagine what the Conservatives would call Obama (The Prophet) if he Dared to try a "Fire Side Chat"

Speak truth to power.


Mr. News

herr dubyah was too busy indoctrinating school children on 9/11 to worry about the safety of our country.

gotta say that I feel the same as you about burning in hell.
If you look at the records of presidents, however, if Obama is some kind of Marxist, socialist fascist, ect. then what is Nixon who did far more liberal policies then Obama has so far...
He even was seriously thinking about passing health care for all...

"Lets Teach our Kids to Hate The First Black President"
That is our Absolute Right under the 1st Amendment's Precedence.
The Bible says we should behave differently, but hey "Who's Still Reading That Book"
Hate is the order of the Day and it's Freedom's Foundation that's about to be shook.

Speak truth to power.


Mr. News

We are talking here about the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! The local dogcatcher could talk to a first grade class without being "vetted" by the school board! As far as I know, showing this speech is NOT mandatory, but for heaven's sake he is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! You tend to cut him a little slack and show the speech. You would (or at least should) do that for any sitting President.
These women also make lot of claims about Obama's message. Now I have not seen the materials prepared by the Department of Education, but I am guessing that you would need an electron microscope to see as far between the lines as these women do.

This just further solidify the hypocrisy, hatred, and bigotry of the right-wing. They're truly pathetic. I can't believe that they think anyone in America with an I.Q. above 2 will actually vote any of them into office in the midterms and in 2012. The only difference between 2008, the midterms and 2012 for the GOP will be a greater margin of defeat. To me it sounds like many of them need to go back to school They're truly pathetic.

Agree...It's not about the difference in political philosophy...it's the STUPIDITY! It's hard to believe right wingers are that stupid. Some may be...the others are just lying scumbags.

And, if it hadn't been "run past the board of education," SFW?

Aren't these wingnuts always complaining about "gov't schools" and public education being "socialist" anyway?

yup, ya can't win when wingnuts are involved. They are so full of hatred it's obvious they will do or say anything to not only destroy the president, but as evidenced by some of them at town halls, to kill our president. I'm afraid president obama will not only be our first black president, he'll be our first black assassinated president.

'The right has finally attained its black belt in idiocy'- good one! They truely are the Sith lords of stupidity.

They're afraid that the president will turn their children into little zombies

And...they don't want the evil black man talking to their kids.

Isn't white Republican stupidity rather obvious today...? They're anti-science, for one thing, and would be prefer to teach the Bible as science. Their last Vice-President candidate proudly displays her ignorance and none of her children appear to be college material. They watch FOX and believe the most insane, irrational things you could imagine. In short, the Republican Party has become the Party of Stupid.

Except unqualified black people don't get jobs over whites. Unless the whites are also unqualified. Qualified blacks might. Sometimes even slightly less qualified maybe but I don't believe totally unqualified people get jobs because they are black.

you already know the answer to that question

Actually, once upon a time, there were Conservatives (as opposed, literally, to Neocons) who did think. Long ago, I believed that Conservatives were gay-bashing, war-mongering, union-hating, anti-education/science. (Unfortunately, true of the Neocons who have hijacked the Republican Party)
However, check out a few quotes:

* My faith in the future rests squarely on the belief that man, if he doesn't first destroy himself, will find new answers in the universe, new technologies, new disciplines, which will contribute to a vastly different and better world in the twenty-first century. Recalling what has happened in my short lifetime in the fields of communication and transportation and the life sciences, I marvel at the pessimists who tell us that we have reached the end of our productive capacity, who project a future of primarily dividing up what we now have and making do with less. To my mind the single essential element on which all discoveries will be dependent is human freedom.
o With No Apologies (1979)
* I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.
o Said in July 1981 in response to Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." as quoted in Ed Magnuson, "The Brethren's First Sister," Time Magazine, (20 July, 1981)
* Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.
o Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006)
* The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it.

After the election, the attitude of nearly all the students I work with completely changed. In recent years, many of the students have come from inner-city schools and have a certain jaded outlook on life and education's purpose as it is. The program we have pushes them to work harder, take more challenging classes, and gives them the skills to prepare for college and actually ATTEND once they graduate. Seeing the election of Obama, knowing how he grew up and what he had to do to get there, completely shifted their ideas of what is really possible and what they are really capable of.

I think it is incredibly sad that parents want to take that away from their children. Even if they never go to college, working as hard as they can and just graduating high school is a big enough hurdle for some students, and it still puts them ahead of those who get nothing out of school or just drop out. I know younger children may be more starstruck, because THE PRESIDENT IS TALKING TO THEM!!!, but even they're aware of how huge this whole thing is, and it's an immensely important message.

Someone commented yesterday about the ones screaming the most right now are the ones who gave up on their educations. I got nothing but grief and bitterness from my father growing up anytime I excelled in high school or college, and if I valued his opinion at all at the time, it would've had a huge impact on my own outlook on education. I don't know why parents are so afraid of their children succeeding in life.

Seriously. I loathed Bush and disagreed with him on almost everything but I would never teach my kid to not respect the office of the President.

These wingnuts and their Fox friends are a disgrace.

You mean like in 1991, when President Bush did just this same thing? Dick Gephardt thought it was inappropriate to use Department of Education funds for what he called a campaign advertisement. The press that covered it mostly seemed in favor, quoting kids with positive things to say about the President's address.

What Democrats did NOT do was go on TV and accuse President Bush of trying to indoctrinate schoolkids into the wonders of socialism, or communism, or fascism, or Kenyanism, or...

Good point, and this would be something that can still be done.

Run lessons on the electoral college, branches of the government, how a bill becomes a law (maybe some Schoolhouse Rock), and so on.

Not to mention, the President believes that our children are the future of the country, and wants to address them directly.

God, it's so horrible! OBAMA MUST BE STOPPED!!!

The problem is, even if it were only a dozen kids around the entire country, the MSM and Fox especially will treat it like BushieCo's "mandate" in '04.

I think someone said yesterday the text of the speech has even been posted.

Probably a phony/bogus version, if you go the Whitehouse.gov page, here's the link about the speech... check the Resources Page link for more information.
