Anyone have an issue with this? I do...

Post by Embar Angylwrath »

Kids for Obama...

That's pretty much indoctrination. I've seen the same with NK's leader Kim Jong Il.

Honoring a President because he's President is one thing... but this crosses the line.
Correction Mr. President, I DID build this, and please give Lurker a hug, we wouldn't want to damage his self-esteem.

I still think this is creepier

Yeah, I know it isn't a public school, but still that's creepy.

On the video you found on Drudge... were they were practicing for a live visit by Obama?

I really don't see anything that crosses the line. It looks like a part of a school program. I read the lyrics of the song and I don't see any problem with them.

The crazies really do need to make up their mind as to which kind of dangerous figure he is.

It's just so idiotic getting outraged or hysterical over every thing Drudge, Beck, Fox or the more desperate members of the GOP put out there. It's being a chump letting them manipulate your emotions like that and you look ridiculous parroting the latest propaganda. School kids did exactly the same thing for Bush (only kind of sad, because they sang the praises of Bush and FEMA helping people).

And it's seriously embarrassing that Embar is parroting Michael Steele...
Friend," RNC Chairman Michael Steele wrote, "this is the type of propaganda you would see in Stalin's Russia or Kim Jong Il's North Korea. I never thought the day would come when I'd see it here in America."

My school did similar things in regards to Bush senior and Bill Clinton. We didn't sing songs, but we 'wrote' them and had huge posters of them in our classrooms.

When I was a kid, I was forced to go to mass/church/Sunday school. My 2nd elementary school, our class would open with a prayer and the pledge of allegiance. This wasn't in the south, this was California of all places. Wanna talk about indoctrination?

I think indoctrinating kids with the pledge of allegiance every morning is pretty fascist too, and takes all meaning from the pledge itself.

Actually, you were both just parroting a standard wingnut attack on Obama. Limbaugh just used it to attack Obama's speech to school children a few weeks ago.
