And amazed at the venom people like that spew towards the right. Did he actually read what he wrote there? Who is it that's being rude? The unbridled rage might make you smile, but it just looks like hypocrisy to me. And stupidity; the racist accusation is getting more than a little old. A talk show host I used to listen to often said that leftists are brain damaged; there are times I have trouble disagreeing with that. As for the Obama address, it doesn't sound like my kids will be seeing it anyway; the school district sent out a note saying that the teachers will determine whether the address fits in with the lesson plan and decide to view it or not based on that. I don't mind my kids seeing it (as long as the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51kAw4OTlA0" rel="nofollow">I Pledge video</a> isn't played before during or after the address), but I'd also to see it also, and will; and my kids & I will talk about it afterward. Just like we talk about anything they hear from the news or any politician. Instruction in critical thinking is in pretty short supply these days, so we teach it at home. Only amused, not offended.
