Did they not see the outrage from the last school that did this? Where is this going to end?

When I was in school, we sang general positive songs about the country. A little nationalistic maybe, but we were not drilled to take one side or the other in a debate.

Yeah, how dare kids want people to get health care. Fucking little bastards!

On my way to grab my pitchfork and torches i did some research.

Ron Clark Academy is a private school, a good one at that. It is not using public funds for this, no reason for me to be upset. Would i get mad if a Catholic School Choir sang Amazing Grace on air? Or do a tribute to Bush? no. Can't get my knickers in a twist over this.

The kids apparently wrote and choreographed the bit. Considering the other stuff kids could be doing, they deserve props for it.

Conservatives/republicans/right wingers - let's go rage at something else, this makes us look petty.

What, ten black kids somehow match millions of marching morons on the right chanting death panels?

I'd love to sit down with these kids and discuss the healthcare issue in all its legal glory. Hit them with the hard questions on the issue and see how they respond -- would it be like talking to a robot? From what pool of experience or education would they derive their answers?

Hell, the first thing I'd do is challenge each of them, privately, to define the word "capricious." After all, it's in the lyrics... they must know what it means, right?

I wouldn't need to "berate" them to make my point -- which is that there's no need to involve children in partisan politics, and that they don't have the first clue about what they're actually singing about.

It's pretty disgusting actually.

I think you are missing the fact that this is now a pattern.

First you had the Obama youth singing the "Obamas gunna lead us" song during the election, then the military-style boot camp of young males marching to Obama chants.

Then last week there was a teacher that even recieved death threats for her Obama song shennanigans.

A lot of people much older than them don't know what they are talking about either.

Fair enough, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with my points.

Relax folks, you were all psychically murdered before the age of two. You are just projection your own rage at what happened to you out there on others. Heal your own wounds and you'll feel a lot better.

I'm not rationalizing anything. I agree with you on this subject. Propaganda is actually illegal but we don't do anything about it. Those children are going to be trained that they need UHC just like kids in the sticks are going to be trained that dems want to take their guns. What they need to be taught is critical thinking.

One of your statements is a fact, one is an opinion.

an opinion eh? Why do you say that? I've watched many videos including the recent march on dc that show kids in their teens regurgitating false information.

Please post links proving that Obama and Pelosi have committed acts that consitute the crime of treason. Please include further links to statutory citations and credible legal authorities to support your claims.

If you cannot, you are a liar, and your post constitutes libel.

So you think what they are doing is wrong! you all must correct your way of thinking before its too late. Whatever they are doing is best for the kids, best for the society and best for the country. You are either with them or against them and I would recommend that you seriously reconsider your loyalty. Till now we have been asking you to come listen to us and join us... test the water, gets your feet wet. But its time now, the train is leaving the station, better get on board quick. You do not want to miss this train, for it may be the worst decision you make for your family...

Heil Obama

I've yet to be contacted by Obama's attorneys.. Of course, the chances of someone's post on Anandtech about Obama being proven to have caused damage to his character, cause emotional distress, or loss of money is quite slim. If my post is that powerful against the Presiden then he is much weaker than most of us currently perceive him as. Of course, my statement would actually have to be FALSE as well..

Of course, they've yet to prosecute GWB for his traitorous activities either.. Refusing to investigate and prosecute a traitor can only be interpreted as treason. He is purposely ignoring the damage done to our country by GWB for his own personal power grab.

Unlike you Harvey, I hate all people that do damage to our country.. not just ones of a particular political party. You sir are are worse than a sub-human POS.

Some might instead just be unwilling to believe that Republicans can raise kids who can stand up to the threat of the Obamanation on their own. Since you can't stop the President form talking to young students, we'll all get to see if Obama is a seductive as the right must think he is.

What does Obama know about American schools anyway? He went to a Madrassa! Not that he paid attention there anyway, since he always had his face buried in an autographed copy of The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Complicated little guy he was.

And even if Obama did have some awesome brainwashing speech ready, it would be kind of a waste to use it on a bunch of snot-nosed non-voters. he'd probably be too tempted to enchant them all with his Dark People magic spells. We need Sarah Palin to come give this country an exorcism and witchcraft rebuking. But, in 8 years 10-year-olds will be 18-year-olds who can vote Obama into a third term after years of school-sponsored obama brainwashing. Was that the sound of whoooshing air?

So you fully support the prosecution of telecomm companies, CIA agents/contractors who tortured detainees, and fully support the defunding and prosecution of all companies caught war-profiteering.

Ok got it.

You also have yet to make contact with reality. Even worse, as often as you've posted that Obama is a traitor, you have yet to post any links proving that Obama has committed acts that consitute the crime of treason or to statutory citations and credible legal authorities to support your claims.

You obviously mock my posts that your thankfully EX-Traitor In Chief, George W. Bush and his criminal cabal of traitors, murderers, torturers, war criminals, war profiteers and general incompetents actually committed the crimes I've listed. I have posted many supporting links defining what they have done and citing applicable statutes and legal authorities supporting my statements. You know I have them stored as text files. You and other lying right wingnuts even have a name for them. You refer to them as my "macros," and I can easily post them again at will.

If you want to call out Obama or Pelosi as having committed the capital felony of treason, you owe it to us to post similarly strong support for your accusations. If you can't, you're obviously so full of shit your ass is jealous.

Of course, the chances of someone's post on Anandtech about Obama being proven to have caused damage to his character, cause emotional distress, or loss of money is quite slim. If my post is that powerful against the Presiden then he is much weaker than most of us currently perceive him as.

The act, itself is the crime, regardless of any damage to their reputations. Libel can be a civil or criminal offense. Damages only apply to the size of any remedy resulting from a civil court proceeding.

Of course, they've yet to prosecute GWB for his traitorous activities either.. Refusing to investigate and prosecute a traitor can only be interpreted as treason. He is purposely ignoring the damage done to our country by GWB for his own personal power grab.

Irrelevant, and it's not over... at least, yet.

Unlike you Harvey, I hate all people that do damage to our country.. not just ones of a particular political party. You sir are are worse than a sub-human POS.

Hmmm... "Sub-human piece of shit" is an interesting reference. I've only used it to refer to those who have posted to support and condone the crimes committed torture and other war crimes and crimes against humanity by your EX-Traitor In Chief and his criminal gang.

Don't even try to deny it. Bush, Cheney and others from their criminal cabal have publicly admitted they ordered, authorized and condoned torture. :|

But since YOU brought it up, YOU actually ARE one of those sub-human pieces of shit who HAS posted to support the commission of those horrific violations of U.S. and international law that disgraced the honor, the integrity, the credibility and the very name of the United States of America. :(

Way to go, jackass! :thumbsdown: :|
