They’re Such Attractive Children

posted by on October 29 at 17:19 PM

But you’re going to crush their dreams on November 4th—and crush them utterly, you’re going to make these children cry…

…or at least the asshole parents that put their kids up to this. I predict that all three will be registered Democrats by age 18, which will really make mom and dad cry.

I can't believe I watched that whole thing.

Who was framing the shot? Geez.

They even have a hideous green background just like McCain did. Also, I hope that one of them turns out gay.

Someone call CPS please, to get these kids removed from the home of their psychopathic parents!

Mom and dad will be grandparents before Obama's first term is over.

What part of them is attractive exactly?

I love how the little white kids who worship a gazillionaire call Obama a "snob" while performing a rap.

Good thing I accepted the complete insanity of the world this afternoon, or I wouldn't know what to make of this.

Isn't illegal for SLOG to have contact with people under the age of 18?

Please...remove this video at once.

So it's okay to use your kids as political props but only for Democratic candidates?

I was driving my girl scout troop around today and they all claimed to be voting for Obama even though they live in Sammamish (solid McCain/Rossi territory if the yard signs are any indicator). I wonder how their parents feel about that.

Other than supporting the wrong candidate, there's nothing wrong with this video - calling the parents assholes or psychopaths is over the top. These kids' silly song is a far cry from the little urchins calling Obama "a monkey from Tarzan" that we saw in another video linked here.

Remember: 9/11 didn't happen in New York City, it happened in Real America, which existed around 1000' above New York City for a few seconds until it crumbled into a heap that exists about 80' below New York City to this day.

Real Americans live in Real America, crawling out every so often like CHUDs.

When I was that age, I was super-politicized. Heck, I campaigned for Jesse Jackson back when he was kind of cool. I'm sure the shirt's still around somewhere...

I had to stop it after they started singing. I couldn't handle it.

In a far less stomach churning display of youthful support, an acquaintance of mine is a teacher, and his students launched made and launched this site today:

This isn't any worse than the stupid parents that let their kids march around Green Lake for Obama. Leave the kids out of it.
