Reasonable people may disagree about whether Obama is the worst thing ever on account of being a Muslin, or the worst thing ever on account of being a Socialism Communism.

Descent is the highest form of patriotic.

Or the worse thing ever on account of being an uppity nigra.

Well, it’s only disloyal if you use the same standards for Hussein X as for Drunky McStuffedcrotch, but Drunky was white.

It just goes to show that none of this is ever about what they say it is. If he speaks to the kids he’s indoctrinating them, if he tones the speech down then then he’s worthless. I don’t know why he ever even tries to accommodate these fuckwits. Nothing Obama ever does will ever be good enough for them.

Enough with bipartisanship.

Xecky, I think the correct ism is “Marxist-Hitlerism”.

“Some parents don’t like the idea of the President beeming his image into every school in the country on Tuesday.”

Awesome

Descent is the highest form of patriotic.

Dysentery is an even higher form.

Outrageous, how dare a black man deign to show poise, eloquence, and authority to the children of America? How can I continue the cycle of racism if he’s interfering with my child’s education?

Obama told kids to do their homework and not drop out of school. Conservative parents, your duty is clear.

The opening line confirms everything actual liberals have been saying about TNR for the past 20 years:

Marty Peretz of the New Republic is usually a thoughtful liberal. I enjoy the New Republic.

Do we have to defend the New Republic? They’re Serious enough to defend themselves.

Wow, Chambliss should just go ahead and wear his Klan outfit and walk around the capitol with it on.

the President beeming his image into every school in the country
Maybe we cin boy cot Obama’s cable teevee show advirtisers until they stop there commursials. </wingnut>

Hey, Tragic! We’re comment buddies.

From the article:

If the President wants to talk about governmental affairs, great. I’d love for him to stop by our school to do so. That would be a great experience for the kids.

Then, two sentences later:

When people ask, “how can you object to the President urging kids to stay in school,” I ask them what they’d think if I stopped by their house one night, uninvited, to tell their kids how to behave.

So what’s the deal? Is “stopping by” OK, or not?

For some students, it may be the first time they’ve ever seen a SANE, intelligent and pleasant spoken person. Imagine the shock & confusion.

S,N! might want to look into one of the commenters, Brad Smith, Professor of Law at Capital University. He manages to translate every part of Obama’s speech into, “You must serve the state!” That’s some fine wingnut there.

Parents are justifiably concerned that flabber-jabber Obama flim-flam floont-figgedy. I sympathize, though my own objections are that jabber-flabber Obama zim-zam zoont-ziggedy.

You might be missing an “aroo” in that shorter, or is that uniquely reserved for Malkin?

Crescent is the lyest form of astronomic.

(I’m doing it wrong.)

Dr. BDH – Brad Smith is also the author of the original mess of contradictions.

Good afternoon, children.

Don’t worry, folks. I’m sure Obama will finally take the bull by the horns and appear live on television to whimper about how “shocked and saddened” he is by all this unpleasant lack of bipartisanship.

Right before he crawls over to Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh to shine their shoes with his tongue…and then allow them to piss in his open mouth.

Michael G: Love the capitalization on Serious.

And what is it with wingnut law professors? Is there something about law that lends itself to the wingnut mind?

Re: “YOU MUST SERVE THE STATE!”

Didn’t they like that message when Bush was in power?

“L’état c’est MUAH-HA-HA, MOTHERFUCKERS!”

Obama told kids to do their homework and not drop out of school. Conservative parents, your duty is clear.

Homeschool, then kick them out into the street? Sounds like a plan.

“YOU MUST SERVE THE STATE!”

FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!

FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!

DILUTE! DILUTE! WET SKIN WELL OK!

…you know how whenever you have a big festive meal, you end up with crumbs on the floor?

Well, a speech that no one would have bothered reporting about, that most people wouldn’t have noticed, has now gotten more airplay and reading than it would otherwise.

thank you, wingnuts!!

Descent is the highest form of patriotic.

I loved that game.

g, I know what you’re saying, but it’s still another sad testament to the ongoing and possibly even growing power of the right wing puke funnel. Every second we are discussing whatever nonsense they cook up, we are not discussing the very real, glaring and growing problems they have caused.

to be fair, the few wingnuts would have had little exposure if the “librul MEEED-ya” didn’t trumpet teh frickin CONTROVERSY for every erg of ratings they could wring.

Tragically Flip, apparently, thinks like a Zombie.

Talk about making a mountain out of an anthill.

I imagine the little buggers will be pleased as punch to get out of doing schoolwork to listen to their POTUS – their most likely complaint about the speech being that it wasn’t longer. Spawn of wingnuts will be even more joyful to miss an entire day.

I think the real reason these people are so scared shitless right now is that deep down inside, they know a LOT of truly nasty shit is about to come down the pipe & smack everyone square in the head between today & about 2025 – & there’s no avoiding any of it. Paybacks are overdue & there’s nowhere to hide.

Electing a Palin/Beck ticket in 2016 won’t make it go away, & Jesus H. Christ, Esq. isn’t going to moonwalk down a rainbow to kick off His Heavenly Majesty’s Comeback Tour & kiss it all better either. For them Obama’s just a handy surrogate for their abundant surplus of angst – but that angst is definitely warranted, albeit poorly oriented.

Crop failures, resource crises, super-storms, & who knows what else – problems too immediate to ignore, much too big to dodge & too horrific to laugh off.

Worst of all, it’s becoming ever more obvious that it all could’ve been avoided or mitigated if society hadn’t decided on following a “Perpetual Puberty” model from about WW2 on. “Party Hard, Trash The Place & Let The Next Generation Worry About Fixing It” – what could possibly go wrong? The growing suspicion that we’re about to be the guest of honor at History’s bootfucking-party doesn’t make for clear thinking – especially when most of us are doubling down on lemony-fresh extra-strength cognitive-dissonance to keep the monsters from coming out from under our beds.

Pulling magical horseshoes out of your ass is a great plan – until you run out of magical horseshoes.

My understanding is that a number of school districts, dependent on higher test scores for increased and/or continued federal funding, decided today was a very good day to slip in those tests. Something about higher student average IQ or something like that. Anyone else hear that?

You should bottle that.

I heard the secret indoctrination in his speech; stand up for people who get picked on, be accountable for your own education, you can achieve anything, etc. These are clearly attacks on fear, bigotry, and the privileged status of the wealthy, all parts of the Republican platform.

Some parents don’t like the idea of the President beeming his image into every school in the country on Tuesday.

What is this, free-floating anxiety over images of Barry O’s Hummer?

Uh, make that Barry O’s BMW.

“L’état c’est MUAH-HA-HA, MOTHERFUCKERS!”

Killed. Me. Daid.

Maybe they are still irritated over that “My Pet Goat” thing.

Redstate: “Here’s the speech in a nutshell: ‘Welcome back to school. Stay in school, work hard.’ My kids don’t need to hear that from the President… If the President wants to talk about governmental affairs, great. I’d love for him to stop by our school to do so.”

Yeah, right. If only he’d talked about his political philosophy and policies the wingers would have been happy, but inspirational platitudes are beyond the pale.

HA! “Oh no, I wasn’t worried about Obama politicizing school or whipping out his big black CHARISMA to brainwash my kids into worshiping liberal policy and getting gay abortions, whatever gave you that idea?!” They apparently don’t think we can remember what happened 2 days ago.

Gosh, it’s as if they’re finally realizing that defining “loyalty” as “blind fealty to the current occupant of That Office” might backfire on them someday, eh?

Kidding, I’m a kidder!

They apparently don’t think we can remember what happened 2 days ago.

Can you blame them? They can’t!

You don’t understand. The original speech was going to be Obama reading a COOKBOOK! IT WAS A COOKBOOK! I thing we dodged a bullet there people.

I bet you libtards thought it would be a speech to the yungins about how they could better serve mankind.

You know, this past weekend I advised my sisters’ kids that if anyone in their class is kept out of school by their parents, and then comes to them afterward and asks them what the President said, they should look all shifty-eyed and say, “we’re not allowed to tell you.”

I regret that now. I should have told them to look all shifty-eyed and say, “Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu’ll find out.”

Yeah, I was delighted too to find that Marty Peretz is Red State’s idea of a “thoughtful liberal.” He’ll probably frame that.
