You’re a perfect example of the paranoid right that has taken over this country I was blogging about. A group of kids singing a song in respect to the President hardly is tantamount to “indoctrination”. Did you have a problem back in 1983 when my teacher told me to send jelly beans to President Ronald Reagan as a means of thanking him?

Like it or not, Obama is a role model for kids all across the country simply because he’s the first African American President. Sure songs are going to be sung about him. Do you think the White House planned / orchestrated that event with the kids? If so, you’re fooling yourself.

Let’s not forget all the propaganda songs that were sung after Bush removed Sadam from power all over Iraq by the kids there too. No one on the left accused Bush of indoctrination. Please try to have an open mind. Don’t be constrained by paranoia and fear.

And imagine the outrage if the song was about the true messiah rather than the faux version as one of the verses alludes to.

Please explain how you think its okay for FOX to do this Sam. I really want to hear your opinion on how non-biased FOX is in relation to their efforts to bash the President. I’d also like to know how you morally equate protests of war to that of health care reform. Because they don’t even come close to each other.

Your distinctions are without substance considering the premise of your post and the facts surrounding many of those who protested during the Bush years.

Yes, context- which translate to “there is a clear difference- your guy was a conservative and ours is a liberal”.

In the world of Roch and others, the difference is how many different but not distinctive contrasts can be made in order to avoid the apt accusation of hypocrisy.

I didn’t say it wasn’t their right to carry weapons to these protests, but does it make it a good idea? Clearly no. Also, I was stating the difference between the Iraq war protests and the health care protests. Clearly there is a difference even if you and Sam refuse to see it.

Re: community organizer – You didn’t respond to my point. There were no major media figures involved in organizing the Iraq war protests, and yet Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and others see no problem with injecting themselves into the Tea Party plans. Why is that?

Re: Threats of violence – There’s absolutely no evidence that the government is about to revoke the 2nd amendment or their rights to carry weapons. Hysterical threats to people or government bodies is what separates the left from the right in this instance. You’re not paying attention.

And finally “Wah”? That’s the best you have for the pathetic, immature, unable to deal with the fact that they lost attitude of the right these past six months? The President and his administration deserves some time to implement his policies and see the net effect on the nation. Bush was afforded that right, Obama should be too. If you can’t see the hypocrisy in this, then that’s your fault not mine.

Bullchet on the assault rifles, of which you clearly have a revisionist definition. (a quick education, an assault rifle is a fully automatic weapon) I don’t recall anyone being arrested for carrying LEGAL weapons which is their right.

• Entire events being organized by the host of a major TV network ie Glenn Beck

Golly gee, an event has an organizer. The community organized. Where have I heard that before?

• Threatening the use of violence (civil war) if demands are not met.

Are you wetting your pants yet? There are millions and millions of legal, law abiding gun owners in the country who view their right to bear arms as a last resort to a tyrannical government. Hasn’t gotten to that point yet but the responsible citizenry have prepared.

• Protesting a war of choice where men & women are maimed and killed ≠ protesting health care reform

Kind of stings when you support the politicians who are supporting a war with maiming and killing going one, doesn’t it? Add to that the revised rules of engagement that are killing US troops and you have Vietnam II, brought to you by the current administration.

• Organizing such vitriolic protests a mere 6 months into the new administration as compared to 2 years into the Bush admin

Wah. You are used to the old Knee-padded GOP politicians that had no spine. If the “crazed protestors” have their way these politicians will be out of office next year.

Here are a few differences for your reference:

• Protesters bringing loaded weapons including assault rifles to their events
• Entire events being organized by the host of a major TV network ie Glenn Beck
• Threatening the use of violence (civil war) if demands are not met
• Protesting a war of choice where men & women are maimed and killed ≠ protesting health care reform
• Organizing such vitriolic protests a mere 6 months into the new administration as compared to 2 years into the Bush admin

I could go on, but you won’t agree with my points anyway so I’m not going to waste any more time defining more for you.
