Keith Olbermann and Newsweek's Jonathan Alter talk about the pleas from some members of the GOP to keep children home from school on the day President Barack Obama gives a speech. Has the rhetoric gone beyond paranoia and become detrimental to education?

  • (continued from previous post) On second thought I can see how Republicans, neoconservatives and other right wing nut jobs could find this type of speech so offensive. After all, the President was encouraging kids to cultivate their minds. A highly educated and, most importantly, thinking population, doesnt fall for the mendacity of Fox News, or the blatant lies of talk radio. Nothing could be more corrosive to right wing aims than a new generation that can see through their BS.

  • I challenge any Republican or conservative to tell me what was so wrong with that speech? From listening to all the rhetoric, they all feared that President Obama was trying to indoctrinate their kids towards a liberal agenda. So GOP worshippers, and Fox News watchers, tell me what was so inflammatory about the speech? Show me how he was preaching evil "socialism"? (continued)

  • You gotta be kidding me. These guys are a joke.

  • WATCH THE OBAMA DECEPTION 

  • If professors are biased to the left, that all but guarantees that graduates will be conservative. Sarcasm on.

    Professors are part of a massive communist plot to turn people gay, and worse, MAKE THEM DO THEIR HOMEWORK!!!! My favorite professor can't convince me to do the reading assignment, and I know for a fact everyone else skips it, but you're saying he can radically shape my views?

  • obama is the chemotherapy to the cancer bush acquired back in 01. It may look and hurt like hell now, but there is a desired outcome to better us from bush's sickness later

  • Watch your mouth ! Obama is the cancer that is killing America! Just like cancer of the pancreas, you dont know you have it untill its to late!

  • yes - there's no need to get crazy here - we all have our points of view- we're not going to change them because of someone else's comments on this site, so just accept them and move on - let's hope the internet always remains a free and open forum to ALL ideas -

  • its good to see people being civil towards one another
