Heaven forbid that "kooks" — you know, the kind of people who watch Fox News — will run for school boards! That was the message from CNN Thursday morning. New Day had on supposed "moderate" Michael Smerconish to discuss Attorney General Merrick Garland's testimony on Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the memo he had sent to the FBI regarding reported threats of violence against school board members.

Twice, Smerconish fretted about who would replace school board members who resign because they have felt threatened or intimidated: "What I'm most worried about is that the people who will step forward will be the kind of kooks who come out at these meetings and make threatening comments...God help us in terms of who will be [their] replacements."

CNN worried that the kind of “kooks” who watch Fox News will run for school boards.

What about the kind of kooks who watch CNN? Other than me: I get paid to do that!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Better that than the commies who watch CNN.

Imagine a School Teacher teaching kids about communism, and using the demonrat party and CNN as thier examples...

[Don@VB]

Heaven Forbid! Those crazy Trumpers might actually prevent the perverts from sexually assaulting kids in the school’s bathrooms...

Michael Smerconish couldn’t make it as a conservative, now he’s a liberal. He wrote a book with the widow of the police officer killed by Mumia.

Can't believe that Smerconish used to be a 'conservative' radio talk show host. He even wrote a book condemning the defenders of the Philly cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this clown now is a Mumia supporter.

With what is being taught in schools today I think the vast majority of us would gladly have the kooks.

There's a parents revolt going on all over the country and we'll find out in a few days if it cost the Democrats what should've been an easy victory in the Virginia gubernatorial elections.

These teachers had no idea that when they forced the shutdowns of schools in place of virtual classrooms, that parents would then pay attention to what their kids were being taught and not like at all what they saw.

[bassmaner]

Beat me by a minute!

Kooks > Commies

[BookmanTheJanitor]

CNN is worried about kooks?

GAY!!

[TTFlyer]

No, a gay Martian.

I hope his fears are realized. Conservatives getting on school boards, it’s a damn good start.

[Riflema]

Garland's schtick is getting old. His memo explicitly states that there will be coordination with Justice's National Security Division amongst others.

That's the counter terrorism and counter intel outfit.

An analogy: if you tell your neighbor that you're going to refer their unruly kid to Animal Control, would they be rightfully offended that you're calling the kid an animal?

[gundog]

Don’t forget the sodomy. We want the kiddies to have a well-rounded education.

Kooks are better than crooks.
