i think it is very funny how the right is reacting to this. they do not even know what he will say and they are already acting like they are outraged. here is an idea, how about we listen and hear what he has to say and then react rather than prematurely sticking your fingers in your ears and scream "la la la i cant hear what you are saying la la la" like a 4 year old......

Remember how those people showed up at Nader Rallies in 2000 wearing suits made from tin foil and duct tape... or dressed up as an alien or in Star Terk costumes? They weren't helping.
The same principle holds true here... coming up with birth certificates... bringing loaded AR-15s to Town Hall meetings... shouting and screaming to drown out speakers at Health Care debates... crying because the President is giving talk to kids... they aren't helping the Conservatives. They are painting Conservatives as cartoonist characitures that are paranoid, gun-wielding, cry baby conspiricy theorists. They aren't helping... just like the spacemen and Klingons didn't help Nader.

I saw that too and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I thought someone had abducted her child. I think I saw that on Fox News?
Peace
Nope.... real news.
and most watched :roll:
do they have transcripts for their shows now? i know a about 2 years ago they didn't have them for any of their programming while MSNBC and CNN had them for all their shows. i guess it makes it easier that way

what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
Why do we have "outrage" and "furor" over both an attempt to reform health care and give our kids a pep talk, yet the outrage and furor over an unjust war, firing US Attorneys, outing CIA agents, etc. never seemed to get SO angry?
I actually saw some looney woman crying over the prospect of her kid listening to Obama. :?
or over because of No Child Left Behind Act middle and high schools could lose their NCLB funding if they didn't give data, profiles and contact info on kids...

this is exactly what is happening now. the conservatives are letting these wingnuts become the mainstream of their party. this is all i am seeing on tv nowadays. images of these people crying, carrying guns to political rallies, throwing lipton tea bags, bringing fake birth certificates, calling obama the antichrist, saying he is going to indoctrinate their kids when as a kid i sat through reagan and bush speeches, etc etc...i am a lifelong democrat, but i feel sorry for the true staunch conservatives and lifelong republicans that are being hurt by these people. these people will make any halfway rational person avoid any candidate the gop were to run for any office. if this is what the mainstream of the GOP is going to be from now on, i think they are going to be in a world of hurt for the next 12 years.

What if John McCain wanted to tell the youth of America to study and try their best, would you have a problem with that?
And now that the speech is harmless, the crazy end of the right will claim that it was changed because of their "uproar", and the other 90% of the population will hear the innocent speech and see it as just another example of manufactured partisan outrage.
The sad thing is, instead of feeling like they've been used (yet again) by their right wing radio hosts, they will walk away feeling vindicated and that their concern was valid and move onto the next molehill to turn into a mountain.
I just can't comprehend the partisanship, hatred and fear of someone being so deep that you wouldn't let your kid watch the President of the United States.

either that, or he was thinking "did i unplug the iron? did i leave the oven on?? nah, i turned it off before i left...... i think......"

it still does not change my opinion of the man. he will do something to contradict this in a few weeks i am sure.
Agreed. However, it was a well written piece.
i still have my doubts that he wrote it. or maybe he was drunk? kind of like how sometimes some of us get drunk and think it would be a good idea to get on here and post........
Well I thought a persons true feelings came out when they were drunk.. If that's the case then Bill O' must have been trashed when he said this about the late senator E. Kennedy http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,543521,00.html

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh on the drive in this morning (which I often do) and he was claiming this exact thing... that it was an indoctrintation speech that was transformed because of the protests. His minions that were told to disrupt Town Hall meetings on Health Care and fed the false allegations of an indoctrination speech to 4th Graders will buy this.

No he won't be crying because he's caught up with the same vindication about the Van Jones resignation.

my son's school sent home a letter. the teachers decided to watch the speech first, record it and they are planning to replay it tomorrow. however they sent home slips for parents to sign they kids in or out of watching the speech. I am really disgusted with the country right now. it's sick to me that this level of stupidity is soaring at record heights. I then get the statement, "well what do you think they did to Bush?" The difference is that Bush did things that required us to stand up and comment on them. Obama has done nothing but try to move forward. All these wackos just want to stay in the past and not change a thing. Fear is the driver. Its just really overwhelming to me to see all of this.

i feel the same disgust you feel. it is really embarrassing to me as an american that parents will protest the president trying to inspire their kids to reach for success and don't give up in school. it just proves to me that you can never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups...
