One of my daughters classmates told her Michael Moore was a Communist.

[Flammable Materials]

We're talking 9th grade, here.

How much you want to bet his parents listen to Michael Savage?

Of course, my daughter knew to ask him why he thought Michael Moore was a Communist, and he didn't have an answer other than "he just is".

It's pretty sad that the right-wing hate machine's bile is seeping onto the schoolground.

1. The best response to that is this:

So?

7. I started thinking of the Oceania song that the kids sang on the train ...

... in the film version of "1984".

3. Next time,

tell your daughter to ask her friend to define "communist."

See what kind of answer this girl spouts. And then ask her if she's going to sign-up for the Chimp's war in 3 years after she graduates.

8. Little bit of confusion.

The one making the accusation against Michael Moore was a boy.

As you were ... :)

4. ask the little girls mommy to please...

buy her a dictionary for the big words. On second thought mommy better keep it for herself.

Rotten kids are almost always a reflection of their parents...

14. but Colin Quinn was calling liberals "fascists" last night on Rough Crowd

Too bad I have to switch off Comedy Central for the half hour between Jon Stewart and Reno 911, but I cannot stand the unfunny Quinn or his favorite right wing buddies like Nick Di Paolo. Like Bill O'Reilly, Quinn likes to shout down any dissenting viewpoint. What is it with all of these radical right Irish shouters.

6. Michael Moore is a millionaire that continues to make lots a money.

Which hardly qualifies him as a communist.

9. Unless he's planning to start his own film company and own the

means of production.

10. Excellent point! I just shared that with her ...

... in case it comes up again.

Thanks!

11. That's the fact that usually bursts the commie bubble.

The folks they usually accuse are filthy rich. Morons. I mean, Morans.

12. Well my 12 yr old granddaughter

had this to say about the negative ads that bush* puts out, "Why is bush* so negative toward Kerry and Kerry doesn't go negative on bush*? This was back in June. She also wondered why bush* never said anything positive about his record but instead just chose to attack Kerry. Out of the mouths of babes!

13. If it makes you feel better, some 6th, 7th, and 8th graders

in our school spend their recesses making and putting up Kerry signs. ;)

[Hello_Kitty]

15. And kids overwhelmingly pick Kerry on the issues

As has been proven over and over in polls.
