It's just one of the many medias that has been enveloped into the "keep the stupid poor people fighting about meaningless nonsense so that the rich can get richer" scheme. And look how well it's worked. We were barely even discussing the public option when the "Now you must argue about Obama's school speech" order came down from our well financed corporate media and we fell in line. And the American Gordon Gekkos pulling the sting get all the more richer.
It's not right vs. left. I wonder if it's EVER been right vs. left. It's arguing as a sport between nearly distinguishable teams. It's not even stupid vs. smart. It's stupid vs. stupid with a little crazy mixed in.

Thank you will. This is much ado about nothing. Another distraction, another diversion. If you are so afraid to allow your child to view an address by the president, then you probably lack serious parenting skills. This an excellent learning opportunity whether you support the president or not. It's how you handle your interpretation of the message and what example you make for child when you reinforce or counter that message... with informed civility or not.
