A teabagger even too dumb for Dr. Nancy on MSNBC about Obama's school speech
Why is MSNBC even putting people like this on TV? Dr. Nancy was dumbfounded by what this teabagger had to say about Obama's back to school speech and lesson plans in general.
Nancy: Have you changed your mind since hearing the president today?
Teabagger: No I haven't. I thought the speech was OK, we never really had a problem with the content of the speech. It was always about the lesson plans.
Nancy: And what's the problem with the lesson plans, that the idea is to stay in school and do your work and not let adversity keep you down?
Teabagger: Well, actually the lesson plans as they're presented are actually illegal under the protection of People's Rights
Nancy: But what's your problem with the message?
Teabagger: Well like I said, there is no problem with the message it's the lessons plans that encourages students to reveal personal information about themselves by participating in the lessons that the teachers are putting forth for them and that's illegal....
Nancy: But I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. No one asked for personal information as far as I understand and the lesson plans really went along with the bulk of the speech.
Teabagger: When the teachers ask in a questionnaires or they encourage the students to reveal information about their goals that delves into the psyche of the children and under code 34 of the federal regulations that's illegal.
Nancy: You must be kidding me. Do you not want kids to be talking about what they want to be when they grow up?
Yes, when a teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I was a kid I said I wanted to be a cop. OMG, that's blasphemy and illegal and I want to sue P.S. 122 in Astoria. I'm sorry, but isn't Obama's speech the reason this teabagger is on my teevee and not the teachers? I guess sometimes they get confused.
It's not about lesson plans or anything else.
They just don't like showing school kids that there's a black man as President.
An articulate black president will destroy the confidence of an under-educated white kid with no self-esteem.
yep, it sure will. he's just got to get over it and get on with his life, poor bastard.

Whatever make anyone think that msnbc was any less bias in their reporting then Fox , ABC , CBS or any other news media... It also seem to me that they are pushing the health bill without a public option.
To show how much BS and deceit Obama , Emanuel and blue dogs have they are talking about a trigger option.... What in the hell is wrong with pulling a single payer option in the health bill if they claim no one wants the public or single payer option then it will dry up itself.....
Where in the h... is the cave that Reid , Pelosi and other democrats are hiding
from a political stand.
If they pass the health reform with no public option and we do not raise h.ll and vote their a..es out of office then we should shut our mouths forever...
None
the problem is that if it's not single payer it's crap[TM], total bullshit, and they're selling us out if they do anything other than single payer.
He sure sounded like Butthead uh hu huh huuuuh huuh huh
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
No I think that was Tom Foley who was trying to get children to reveal personal information about themselves.
Eg.: "You sporting wood?"
"If the US government enforced its banking laws like it did its park regulations, we wouldn't be
in this damn park in the first place." OCCUPY.!!
Too sad for words.
his conserva-thug parents must be so proud of their little kool-aid guzzling zombie
...How am I supposed to leave a comment now??? No way I could top yours!
He, like the rest of the fringe festival that is today's right-wing, apparently has no idea that one of the prime requirements of Bush's "Leave no child behind" BS is that all public high schools are REQUIRED to give all personal info of all of their students to military recruiters. If they don't, no Federal money for the schools.
So, as usual, the right-wingers are fighting the wrong battle - schools already have to give far more personal information than telling Obama their "goals", and it was done by a Republican president.
And, oh, how I wish she had asked him to explain exactly what "code 34 of the federal regulations" is, because you just know this bonehead is only repeating and has no idea of what Federal regulations are and what code 34 actually says.
Teh stoopid. It just goes on and on.
Presidictator Obama gave a beautiful speech. Will someone please tell Goober's cousin to get on the line for functioning brains. They're gonna run out of 'em real quick.
He was a walk away, when god was handing out brains some of the souls walked away before getting a set.
my brain hurt.
What losers.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
it's fucking embarrassing that so many Americans are
so fucking stupid. they don't want public education
in the first place. look at their idol...sarah palin
who has an IQ in the minus.
read the article in Vanity about palin, she is worse
than trailer trash.
that the frigging wack-jobs in the MSM put the craziest of the lot on television for all the world to see. Now a good portion of the planet thinks people like that are typical of America when they're anything but!
if you think that one interview will cause
"a good portion of the planet thinks people like that are typical of America when they're anything but!", then, you
have not seen any of the reality shows that
dominate regular and cable TV. when the general population of a country
is more interested in who paris hilton is f#cking
or in any number of non/under-educated celebrities
who can not find the floor when getting out of
bed, then that interview on msnbc represents
a vast portion of the America population.
and that's too sad.
I've been seeing more and more and more of this stupid shit lately.
And no I haven't watched any of those reality shows but have seen ads for them. So yeah you've got a very good point there.
Yeah, I wonder how many of the 'sanctity of marriage' crowd watches Wife Swap and SuperNanny.
Can't fix stupid - stupid has to want to not be stupid. I think the adults are a lost cause, so it makes sense to promote the importance of education among the children.
loves them some stoopid, doesn't they?
there's plenty of room for another Fox.
these ignorant idiots consider to be a crime???? I guess there's a lot of teachers they'd like to put in prison. It shouldn't surprise anyone though that they hate education, they're called the American Taliban for a reason.
A typical right winger often comes across like a bigoted, angry Forrest Gump. They are mind numbingly ignorant, know little if anything about history or science, and they are usually hate filled Christians.
Debating a right winger is not an easy task, and the exercise is usually a waste of time, as they usually lack even a basic understanding of American history or government.
Plus most right wingers seem to be pathological liars, so will constantly lie to create 'evidence' to support any argument...
Prove them wrong on any fact, if their dim witted minds grasp they've lost an argument, they will often resort to profanity and threats of physical violence.
What are the odds these right wingers blasting Obama's speech to the students are defending the speeches Reagan and both Bushes gave to students?
these aren't real Christians. If they saw Christ on the street, they'd call him names, like fascist, commie-pinko, marxist.
.
What's with these people? If they don't like public education and the president then why don't these losers pull their kids out of the system and set up their own Christian schools? Or home school their kids. They're free to do so!
they wouldn't want their children attending a 'socialist' school would you?
they also stop using the "public" mail system or driving on those "public, government sponsored" roadways.
Otherwise the right wing would oppose them ; )
help me off the floor :-D

overtime to make life here so miserable no sane person in their right mind would stay in this country.
I'm not familiar with "code 34" and capital letter "People's Rights." Would someone elaborate?
People's Rights Amendment.
I think it's in chapter 8 of The Turner Diaries or somethin' like that.
I wonder if this is the one he's referring to:
Title 34 of the United States Code outlined the role of the United States Navy in the United States Code prior to 1956. It was entirely repealed when the laws within it were either eliminated or moved into the new revision of Title 10 by an act of Congress on 1956-08-10.
The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment. http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ppra/i...
[edited to add]
Also, it's titled "PART 98—STUDENT RIGHTS IN RESEARCH, EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMS, AND TESTING."
It doesn't mention socialist indoctrination, so we're good.
This student obviously needs remedial reading. Nothing there to support his drivel.
The president has the authority to detain any citizen he sees as a threat for the rest of their lives with no charges filed,
but he can't ask you what your plans for the future are?
is a threat.
I think therefor I Threat.
If the president detains you for the rest of the life then by definition you are a terrorist. Maybe they would be happier if Obama detained them until they successfully completed the questionnaire but then it might be hard to get a job with "suspected terrorist" on your dreaded "permanent record".
Taking issue with the lesson plans is their fallback position. First they were concerned about the president invading the sanctity of the classroom and poisoning young minds with socialism. Now they're saying that it's always been about the lesson plans.
with Global Warming, Health Care, etc. When their first line of insanity falls they ALWAYS have many more lines of insane defense to fall back on.
It would be dangerous as quicksand if their psyches were more than one inch deep.
I just cannot believe the idiocy that exists in this country. It's embarrassing; it's a disgrace. We must be the laughing stock of the world.
I mean what ITF is happening here?
people can't see it. They think it's normal and hardly give it a second thought.
Evidently what that guy wanted to be when he was growing up is functionally retarded. Success!
no one is born "good at things": they have to work at it to get good. So this cretin must have been perfecting his ignorance for years to have reached this level.

This tea bagger obviously needs to feel superior to someone.

This tool was fed talking points about Code 34, he doesn't really understand what he is saying.
He's just cannon fodder for the elites. He's a moran, they know he's a moran and they're perfectly ok with letting him reveal himself as a moran on national television, so long as their message gets out.

It just goes to show. Maybe if that teacher of yours hadn't asked her nasty, illegal question about what you wanted to be when you grew up, if she hadn't been "delving into your psyche" and warping your young, impressionable brain, you might have been saved for conservatism.

Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
The United States can't keep going on the way it has and expect to remain a superpower. Not with runaway federal deficits, military bases in every fucking country, and personal debt climbing through the roof. And when that day comes, when the shit hits the fan and this country starts to disintegrate, guys like this will still blame the libruls for their problems and not the true criminals -- the corporations and GOP>
It's safe to say that day has arrived. Just look around you.
True. But the U.S. is being kept afloat with other countries -- China and Saudi Arabia -- buying our debt and the federal government printing money without any real backing.
Once those countries stop buying our debt and want us to pay up and we can't print money any longer we will begin to really feel the pinch. Moreso than just a recession but a breakup of the country. This might be decades or maybe even a century off but it is an eventuallity thanks to people like this chump.

That was, I think, more than 20 years ago.
It's beyond me that the hawks pretend the US is the world's most powerful nation when the money America spends to build its aircraft carriers has to be borrowed from the very countries it presumes to dominate.
St. Ronnie's two administrations saw the US run a trade deficit for the first time in our nation's history, AND more was spent during his eight years in office than during all the other prior administrations combined.
The only 'superpowers' on this planet are the handful of corporate megalomaniacs who own or control more than 45% of the planet's resources. And, they don't want to share.
Naturally, the sheeple are easily manipulated by these vile corporatists, both because they've been trained to believe the 'news' promulgated by the M$M, and because they believe the wealth carrot meme (eg, you too can be uber wealthy if you work hard and live frugally).
I may be moving to Canada soon... I promise I won't be a bigot or a lazy slob.
makes Floyd R. Turbo look like Einstein.
I like that the MSM covers these drooling idiots; it reminds saner Republicans and Independents they made the right choice. I am more than a little pissed with the President and what he has done/not done lately but I would have more in common with martians than these batshit crazy f*%!ers.
Name one.
elected not to allow any students to view the President's address, until AFTER the Board had vetted it, alleging that 'the majority of parents' in our district had expressed concern about their children being 'forced' to hear the President's address. The Superintendent sent an email late today, stating that they had listened to the address and would make it available to any teachers who wanted their students to have the opportunity to listen to the President's address.
Here in the great state of Texas, scores of sheeple are easily manipulated by the M$M, including many who are charged with the big responsibility of educating our youth.
How very, very sad...
Republicans have no integrity.

That was exactly what the radical right wanted. When I first heard of the controversy, I e-mailed my daughter's school superintendent and the entire school board telling them that not allowing the my daughter to see the speech was at best disrespectful and at worst, it smacked of racism. I live in the South - I think the "racism" jab hit them a little hard.
The superintendent agreed with me that the speech had educational value and encouraged teachers to let the kids see it.
These scared and bedwetting, Bat-Shit Crazy Reslugs, just keep proving how damn dumb they are.
I gotta wonder what this goof thinks when Santa asks kids if they have been good all year and what do they want for Christmas. I wonder if he knows that Santa reports all that stuff straight to President Obama, along with the kids Christmas letters which includes their address.

Don't let this thing die. I think every progressive, every time they're interviewed on TV needs to remind people about this protest and the crazy allegations made by the right. Make sure every American knows that conservatives think it's illegal to ask a child what they want to be when they grow up. Make sure every American knows that this is what the Teabaggers stand for. Just like with the birthers, they chose the issue, let them be known for it.
Boy this zapped me into a flashback, but I'm too lazy to Google for details. Essentially, per my recollection, it is this.
In the mid-1990's the California Board of Education rolled out a new statewide testing project. Unlike single answer or multiple choice questions, this test (which was finally rejected due to parental protests)had several essays questions where the kids were asked how they 'felt' about certain issues. It also asked them write essay responses on topics that were not clearly yes/no polarities. The s*it totally hit the fan - mostly in conservative and eligious circles. I have no children, but several of my co-workers were onto this. When pressed for their reasons, the essential answer was 'we don't want THE STATE prying into our children's minds. We don't want THE STATE probing them psychologically. More than a few were frightened of opening their child to 'mind control' of 'seduction'. Or even 'The Devil'.
It seems our rigid, authoritarian RW clearly know that open minds, learning and open discussion could spell the death of their movements.
OH MY GOD!
They have to write an Essay!
This reminds me of No Child Left Behind and its emphasis on tests. I'm sure most of those tests are single answer / multiple choice.
That's one of the reasons American education sucks. You can't always fit the complex universe into a multiple choice question. There is nuance in the univere.
I guess they find it offensive because in their universe, everything is black and white, yes and no.
No wonder other countries' scientists are publishing more papers than American scientists.
