When this first popped up in my news, I was amused to see that Conservatives were now using the same rhetoric as many who, during the Bush administration, became upset with Bush making speeches to kids/youth/in their home town. They talked of protesting or boycotting etc. I thought, "Wow, Conservatives know how to be traitors, too!"
Had a pleasant little chuckle at the turn around and the rich, rich irony.
Then I read a few more articles and realized this time it was different. This time the coverage of "a few crazies" is much bigger. It leads me to believe that this time there are either more than just a few nut jobs looking to keep their kids from listening to a speech by the President, or the media is given the few nut jobs a bigger platform in which to announce their inherent idiocy.
Either way you slice it... it isn't good for America.
The World is watching and the world is, once more, aghast.
