Here is a Media Matters for America-produced video that I have published on here before. I am posting it again as I think it has again become relevant in the current political climate.
When you see these videos it becomes a bit easier to put together the puzzle and see the pattern that begins to come into focus.
Some of these far-right nuts, who find a comforting environment at Fox News, on right-wing programs like the dreadful Fox and Friends. Media Matters for America has a clip of a parent or parents wanting to keep their kids home from school so they will not hear President Obama’s Stay-In-School speech that some of these individuals feel is a form of “indoctrination.” It’s amazing to see how some of these men and women on the extreme right have lost their minds in just a few months of President Obama’s administration and have begun to tag him with labels such as communist, Marxist, socialist, radical, racist, a hater of America, a person who wasn’t born in America and so on and so forth. Now, the president is working to encourage young people to stay in school and prejudiced individuals don’t even like that from Barack Obama.
Here is the headline from Media Matters:
Fox & Friendshosts parent who plans to “keep kids home” from Obama stay-in-school “indoctrination” speech
The one-sided video and Fox’s right-wing lean (not even disguised) is pathetic. As one commenter said, it wouldn’t have mattered if it had been run past the board. If the board had passed it then the cry would have been something along the lines of “the liberal board of education caves into liberal, socialist, Marxist, communist, America-hating, non-American, radical, black, white-people-hating President Obama.”
