What...the fuck...is this. Are they trying to start brainwashing early or something?

 

[kablooey]

:lol

Best not to give things like this any more attention than they deserve, and let this thread sink.

Oh, wait.

 

[Hitokage]

Remember kids, only the best of children get to be loyal followers of Dear Leader who are also spend happy consumers and think unorganized market forces can make companies responsible!

 

[xabre]

Yeah early brainwashing sounds right and as long as the younglings are kept out of the university system we should have another emerging generation of neo-con sheeple in twenty years.

 

[Lo-Volt]

Oh God, now I can't sleep tonight. I wonder, if we suddenly elect a real Democratic Socialist party, will these people have heartattacks and leave the rest of us "loonies" alone?

 

[ToxicAdam]

I don't know guys... the idea of Joe Leiberman under my bed IS kind of scary.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

There is a sneak peek of the book.....there is stuff making fun of Hillary Clinton for trying to tell people how to raise their children, and stuff about how liberals pass "silly rules" because of social concerns.

It's really kind of sad to write a book to turn children against a political party before they are old enough to critically think about it.....but is that really any different than the way society brainwashes the little ones with religion before they are old enough to choose and think for themselves? There is a fine line between sharing values and imposing them.

You know, it's possible this is being done as a parody book in the style of a children's book, and it's not a children's book after all.

 

[AB 101]

A liberal under my bed would be frightening as hell.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Funny how the asshole neocons are the ones who are so concerned as to what you are doing in the bedroom.

Nope.
Book Description
"This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland."

Sen. Kruckle’s accomplishments include:

* Sponsor of the Sugar Law: This law requires any food or beverage in Liberaland to contain only one teaspoon of sugar. Like the Village Law, the aim of this law is to promote healthy teeth among children, since parents are not able to do so themselves.

There is nothing wrong with this law!!

Nice!

The funny thing is, this woman thinks she's going to shape public opinion with some stupid kids book. I think the whole concept is kind of funny. She has a lot to say and she's wasting it on... kids books?

She has a lot to say, and she's looking for a market that isn't saturated with that kind of stuff already.

Help Mom! There are Liberals under My Bed, attracted nation-wide attention and an excerpt appeared in the October 2004 issue of Harper's magazine.

Haha, I think I read that blip while on a flight last year (I get a sub to Harper's, but I only read it on planes, more or less). It was not intended to be flattering or a badge of honor, to say the least (from what I remember).

 

[Phoenix]

Criminally retarded...

 

[Yossarian]

Its obviously satire people; don't get so upset.



right?

 

[Nerevar]

My favorite is how she bashes Kerry for marrying a rich wife, as if that's somehow better than being born into a rich family, and also for attending prestigious elite liberal universities .... cognitive dissonance knows no bounds!

 

[Triumph]

I don't know guys... the idea of Joe Leiberman under my bed IS kind of scary.

To be fair, most liberals would like to give Joe Leiberman away. He rolls over for anyone. What about Dennis Kucinich under your bed? He's so likable.

 

[ToxicAdam]

I forget about Kooknich. Seeing his ugly mug under my bed would make me cry. :lol

How can you hate him when he's got a tinfoil hat?

 

[ToxicAdam]

LMAO. Oh noes the chem trails are coming to get me!!

Poor Dennis, he always gets ripped on. But, he's from Ohio .. what do you expect from us?

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

you mean republicans dont like college?





haw this stuff almost writes itself!

Or prevent companies from including high-sugar foods in their ad campaigns specifically designed to get AROUND parenting... but that's just a wild guess...

Don't forget the "He'll actually fit under there." part. Maybe his new 27 year old wife, too?

 

[Vinzer Deling]

You guys all sound alike. There is virtually no difference between right wingers and lefties.
