"Easiest case?" Check your usage. "Easiest case" would apply to...I dunno...an attorney's wetdream? "Easiest case of non-reasoning" is, seemingly, antipathetic to reason.

Beck is trying to get enough people educated to what is going on to avert what could happen if everybody is like you and really won't even watch anything that could be anti-Obama.

Happy Kos reading.
Oh yeah, Beck is so informative. Last night, I learned that the USSR donated a sculpture that sits behind the UN building, which itself sits on land donated by Rockefeller, whose name adorns a building where NBC is located. Oh...scary stuff.

What a loon. I guess such "knowledge" is right up your alley.

I wish animals could sue humans. We would not have a penny left in our pockets if it were possible. As for brainwashing, religions do that often.

OMG. How stupid can a post be. Do you know what totalitarianism is? Do you know what elections are? Do you understand how one precludes the other? Maybe you need to sit with those school children and learn a thing or two.

When protesters are being shot, like they were in Iran a few months ago, then you can claim totalitarianism. Opposing someone you support is not totalitarianism.
Strong-arm tactics to insure everyone falls into the political "line" is just a step in the direction of total control of the political process. Think what you will,...and "pooh-pooh" as you will, but if you condone the activities that are documented FACTS, then you're just as ignorant as the rest of the sheeple who follow this empty-suit leader.

Obama speaking directly to the American students bothers me in that it is a captive audience, and there is no guarantee that it will be nonpolitical in nature. Maybe the Teleprompter Kid should tape the address, let the parents see the content of the speech, and then determine whether it is something they wish their youngsters to view in a captive audience situation.

After all, school is for learning,...not indoctrination. And YES,...it does smack of totalitarian practices.

When I send my kids to school, the teacher has the right to speak to them in a captive audience. ( meaning they are not free to get up and leave whenever they want while she is speaking)

That is one rule a teacher can impose, never a president !

Speaking of smack, are you high?

If you're that paranoid, keep your kids at home that day. Lock them in the closet if you want. Problem solved.

Smack. Smack.

Remember those old drug commercials? What was it that was in the frying pan?

Oh yeah...Obama is gonna get them with his mind control ray.

Are you people insane? Did you go to school? Have you ever been in a classroom with children? I'm betting dollars to donuts that the younger children will be asleep before Obama's second paragraph, and the older kids will be gossiping before the speech begins.

Prozac. If that don't work, Thorazine.
