Hearing the right wingers talk about Obama's school speech reminds me...


Of these words from South Pacific..

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
You've got to be taught
From year to Year
It's got to be drummed
in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
To be Afraid
Of people whose eyes
are oddly made
And people whose skin
Is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
Before it's too late
Before you are 6 or 7 or 8
To hate all the people
your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught

... They are afraid Obama might interfer with their teachings...

2. since the dems n obama will not fight back this kind of crap will go on indefinitely
systematic organized racist attacks by the republican party, America's corporations and extremist nut case groups like the chamber of commerce, NRA and KKK etc.

well if obama wants to be the punching bag of the year that's his business I guess. Or he could defend himself and take a great opportunity to reach out to the ethnic communities that also suffer this systematic racism.

3. Obama wants to tell kids to stay in school.
Parents of these kids are acting based upon the talking points of....school dropouts (Limbaugh, Hannity)

Oh, the irony....
