Lounge of Tomorrow - The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

And here my cynical first thought was that the video was staged by some right wing group. The way the video pans in on the individual kids like, "look how this poor baby is being brainwashed!" looks totally staged to me.

The molesting thing is sadly true. AZ seems to have those cases all the time.

However, the reason that I posted that video is that I was pretty much mocked by many here for even suggesting that there could be political indoctrination taking place in the public education system.

I'd like to know the full story behind the song before we start taring and feathering.

Umm, no, you were mocked for suggesting that political indoctrination would a likely and widespread result of watching Obama's spech and bieng asked questions about it, and that political indoctrination was the real underhanded goal of the exercise.

Can you be any more dramatic?

I believe it happened, but I can't find anything in the MSM on it. Got any links that are a bit more factual and less dramatic?

I seriously doubt it's a new generation of lynching. Just some very f'ed up people who did a very f'ed up thing.

With the likes of Michelle Bachman stirring up fear of of the upcoming census, why is this surprising? With everything going on, and an important mid-term election coming up, I predict we will be seeing a surge of violence next year.

If you can't come up with any viable ideas to actually help the people you represent, then you do... Well... This.

Interesting... I find that I agree with him completely.

And throughout the Bush years -- no matter how accurate the left's "fringe" attacks might've been -- liberals were marginalized and laughed off by the establishment press, ignored by certain leaders in our own party and attacked as unpatriotic by the Republicans. Sean Hannity, Tom DeLay and Bill O'Reilly, who are all busily ripping the current president an array of new holes, actively accused the left of undermining the troops because we were criticizing the commander-in-chief during wartime. Ah yes. They abandoned that one faster than Newt Gingrich abandons sick wives, didn't they?
