UPDATE: You can read about this at the NYT today.
You have, perhaps, heard or read about the brouhaha over the President speaking to the students of the United States about being good students.
If the asshats freaking out about this (and the evil bastards playing it up and propagating it) are true Americans, strip me of my citizenship now. I don't want to be associated with this level of stupidity.
But they are just fucking stupid. And the furor is phony and just plain evil. Got that?
It just boggles the mind that we have sunk so far.
The media in this nation have given themselves over to the reptilian hindbrain that has risen to the fore now that we have a - tell it not in Gath - black President!
From the Rude Pundit:
Some abusive parents have decided that their blind ideology is more important than exposing their children to ideas not approved by Rush Limbaugh and are actually preventing them from watching the speech. Because why? They're afraid Obama will seem like a nice guy when he doesn't have a Hitler mustache?
Oh, sweet, stupid motherfuckers who shouldn't have been allowed to breed, like it or not, when someone is the President, that person is the President of all of us. So, sorry, conservatives madly craning your necks to lick your own taints over Obama's speech, he's your President, too. The only way he's not your President is if you leave the country. On the left, we lived with that knowledge for 8 years. You're not even up to ten months. A little advice here: let this one go.
For the past eight years I got apoplectic every time I heard W's voice. I acknowledge that I hate him with the passion of a thousand white-hot suns, which is tame compared to how I feel about Dick Cheney. All right, cards on the table.
But I attacked him verbally for what he was doing or for the lies he told, not for made-up shit. I screamed at the television or radio but I never protested his prerogative to address the nation.
For that matter, the world did not get very exercised when G. H. W. Bush (Poppy or Bush '41) addressed the school children of the nation to push his style of assault on drugs. It seems however that the world has gone bat shit crazy.
I would like to take a cue from the Rude One's rant:
If you don't like your children hearing from the President of the United States just fucking leave the country now. And do us a favor. Don't come back.

Yes this burns, toxic as it is.
This is shameful. Such behaviour was never activated against the Republican infestation of demonic gnats in the White House, with Bush-Cheney-et al. designing the worship-rubrics to the Parent of All Lies. Unless Obama and his administration make drastic adjustments to their promised policies and to their means of response to the escalating onslaught from the Republican puppetmasters stringing along millions of innane neocons, the White House is getting what it welcomes.
