Can you imagine?

Can you imagine people rising up to protest any of the previous presidents speaking directly to school children by way of video or television? It's hard to imagine even Clinton taking heat for this sort of thing, and he took heat for almost everything.

The Right kept accusing us of trying to politicize criminal behavior, but they politicize EVERYTHING. They politicized town hall debates on health care. And now they're politicizing a speech made by the duly elected President to school children about the value of education.

They're whooping our asses. They're able to stay on message, go on the attack, and stay on attack, while we run around in a disorganized gaggle. We can be formidable, but only in small groups--if cornered. As a whole, we're too easily fractured, and broken into our component groups.

Our elected representative go off message way too often, they don't seem to communicate worth a damn with one another, and they act as though they spend their lives in a bubble untouched by the outside world. This whole affair is appalling. They're protesting a perfectly legitimate public act by the President of the United States. Out of nothing but spite and (quite possibly) overt racist tendencies.

It's truly pathetic, and it's truly pathetic that our leaders aren't calling them out for the cowardly, stupid, and truly un-American crazies they are. "Seriously, people, what are you afraid of? That Obama's going to hypnotize your children with his African voodoo gaze?"

Right Wingers--undeniable proof that America needs more psychological help than it's getting.

2. What I have witnessed the past couple of weeks makes me repeat over and over, If this is Mainstream America, perhaps I should not want to be considered Mainstream.

The above's the whole bonfire.

The NY Times print edition had nothing about Van Jones until Monday... below the fold.

The MSM is no longer mainstream
