Boehner to school kids: “(Liberals) don’t have a lot of faith in the American people..."

[Emit]

“(Liberals) don’t have a lot of faith in the American people. They want the government to decide,” he told the children, when 13-year-old Abbeigh Starcher asked Boehner if he believed people were good at heart.

~snip~

Boehner visited Mother Teresa Elementary School in Liberty Twp. Monday, Feb. 1. In addition to touring the school, he spoke to Starcher’s eighth-grade class.

Some questions were frank. Others were frivolous.

Do you agree with health care reform proposals? “Not in any way shape or form.”

“I’m just thrilled that he came. We’ve been looking forward to it all week,” said Principal Sister Anne Schulz.

Noteworthy comment from Areyoukiddingme? below in the Reader Comments section:

So, let me get this straight. Earlier this year our president wanted to deliver a message to school children to stay in school and study hard and there was such an uproar that people kept their kids home to protect them from this evil message. But, the man with the spray on tan can go into several classrooms and personally deliver his attacks on the president and others? ...

1. Senator Brownback came to our son's school a couple of years ago

The kids had a great time, asked all sorts of questions (serious and frivolous as well, especially from the little ones). He didn't get political, just talked about being a Senator, the importance of education, etc.

I guess it only works if Obama wants to address them.

[Hello_Kitty]

[Martin Eden]

3. If Republicans had faith in the American people ...

... and in democracy ... they would have faith that our government of the people and by the people is capable of working for the people.

4. Here's a picture of John Boehner

[HughBeaumont]

12. Nah. It's not orange enough.

:rofl:

I mean, I've seen Jersey guidos that aren't as crayoned as him . . .

[muntrv]

5. Hey Boner! Mother Teresa was not a fan of raygunomiks!

[Mendocino]

7. A 13 year old asks him if he thinks people are good at heart

and he answers "liberals don't have a lot of faith in the American People".????!!!

[DaveinJapan]

14. Yeah, you are absolutely right. Fucking pathetic.

Nice way to use a child for your vicious partisan attack.

God, I fucking hate right wingers.

[Mendocino]

16. And replace liberal with commie...

makes Boehner the new Joe McCarthy.

[Zoeisright]

8. STFU, Boner.

What a tool. He has nothing to contribute, nothing to say. Go back to the tanning bed, asshole.

[JCMach1]

9. In American Democracy government is to be of, by, and for the people

He just admitted government has been taken over!


FK u BONER!

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. So a white congressman with a fake tan can talk to our kids but

a black president can't.

Got it.

[RedCloud]

11. But Mr. Moron, isn't the government composed of people, not corporations?

His speech is premature and precedes the corporations becoming the government.

13. An Interesting Trait Of The Rushpugnicans

It's an old game they play..."let's pretend I'm a librul"...and from there flows a lot of slime and assumption...all with the intention of making the listener get repulsed or make it seem that the wingnut viewpoint is both valid and "reasonable".

To a certain degree there are those on our side of the sandbox who play the same game...broad brushes and projection, but it's nothing like what you'll see/hear if you attempt to engage a fully unhinged GOOPer or Teabagger. Rushbo is their role model as he somehow has been able to channel "librul" at his beckon call and those stereotypes seem to always creep into a "discussion".

Not surprising that an oxygen thief like Boner would take advantage of speaking to school kids to push an agenda...and then it's the rushpublicans who scream about how the "libruls" are infesting the education system and trying to "indoctrinate" our youth.

And...not a peep about this on the corporate media...the meme IOKIYAR seems to be making a big comeback (not like it ever went away).

15. Typical chickenhawk republicon

Projecting republicon failures of character on to others...

Ptoooey on republicons, the Latter Day Pharisees.

17. What the hell? is he supposed to be doing this kind of stuff when visiting a school?

[Emit]

18. What the hell is right, WI_DEM. Apparently, Principal Sister Anne approves.

She was just thrilled. :eyes:

[asdjrocky]

19. Where's the lame-o people outside protesting?

[fascisthunter]

20. partisan shit in schools is a no-no

but I'm not surprised to see a republican wipe his ass on this country of ours. Their heads are so big, I'm surprised they don't wear neck braces.

[MadHound]

21. Boner had better never, ever step into my classroom with a remark like that

I'll set him straight so fast his head will spin. Bullshit propaganda, indoctrination and insults are simply not allowed.

Besides, he would be breaking class rule 1: Respect everybody. Can you say detention?

[Johonny]

22. Did the kids then ask him if he supports the patriot act

or electronic spying on Americans without a warrant because the people that support that kind of crap sure seem to lack faith in the American people. Wanting everyone in America to have access to the health care system doesn't seem to prove any lack of faith to me. Actually liberals seem to have the faith that we can give quality care to everyone, where as Boehner thinks to get yours means he loses his. Since he has got his, screw you. Some faith.

[Festivito]

23. IRONY: Con doesn't have faith in Americans who don't have faith in Americans.

What a deluded self-projecting bufoon!

[Union Yes]

24. Keep that Cretin away from children! knr for the heads up. nt

edit. crap I'm too late to knr. I tried. Heres a kick anyway!

[opihimoimoi]

25. Amazing how the Pubs get free pass on this shit...spewing his beliefs as Fact.. Thats UnAmerican as

UnPatriotic....he is helping the Terrorists by dividing Americans with Fear and Bull Crap.

[Echo In Light]

26. Admittedly, as a lib/lefty I certainly DON'T have faith in this brainwashed populace

Although I definitely don't want "govt" to "decide" anything either, since whatever they decide only further victimizes the already systematically fucked over.

[Bobbie Jo]

27. EVERYTHING is partisan to this orange clown.

Must suck to be him.
