I found this while checking out Crooks and Liars and it is the kind of thing that makes you think and wonder about what is going on in the hearts and minds of some of these parents out there. The anger and bigotry coming from some of these right-wing extremists has been frightening since the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States of America.
Here is what Crooks and Liars had:
John Harwood lets one slip on MSNBC and tells the truth about these people fear mongering over the President speaking to school children next week.
Novotny: John, what about this controversy over opposition to Obama’s speech to school children?
Harwood: I’ve got to tell you Monica, I’ve been watching politics for a long time and this is, this one is really over the top. What it shows you is there are a lot of cynical people who try to fan controversy and let’s face it, in a country of three hundred million people there are a lot of stupid people too, because if you believe that’s it’s somehow unhealthy for kids for the President to say work hard and stay in school, you’re stupid.
Novotny: Ouch.
Harwood: In fact, I’m worried for some of those kids, I’m worried for some of those kids of those parents who are upset. I’m not sure they’re smart enough to raise those kids.
