CNN's Roland Martin Calls Parents Concerned About Obama School Address, "Insane" and "Crazy" - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 5, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 09/05/2009 12:15:45 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of CNN's Roland Martin last night calling parents "insane," and "crazy," who are concerned about President Obama's national address to school children next Tuesday, September 8.

He was talking to CNN's John Roberts when he made the comments. Like so many, concerned parents and conservatives are being villified for opposing Obama's address as if he wanted to do nothing different than previous Presidents in addressing school children.

Expect to see this kind of diatribe next week as Obama gives his speech, which undoubtedly will be very plain and harmless after all this controversy. What Martin and others never want to mention is that what Obama has done is very different, both in the way the event was scheduled and handed down to schools, and in originally sending out resource kits with a worksheet directing children to write out how they could "help President Obama." That has since been scrapped in the wake of the outcry against Obama's attempt to politicize America's schools. . . (VIDEO)

If CNN keeps putting twits like Martin on as substitute hosts, they’ll even surpass the ratings depths that MSLSD has sunk to.

I can’t take him seriously. He looks too much like a Mighty Mugg.

I don’t recall any previous President going on national television and specifically targeting, er...addressing, the nation’s school children.

Obama has been surrounded by communists his entire life; from his high chair days to the present where he gathers communists to be with him in the nation’s Oval Office.

How is it possible to doubt he is what he is.

Communism is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution.

Not surprisingly, Obama is on record as stating the U.S. Constitution is fundamentally flawed.

How can anyone doubt parents who are very concerned about Obama holding their young, impressionable school-aged children as a captive audience while he shares his views with them.

Martin is so proud that both his parents are “community organizers” in Houston. No doubt they are on the government dime and a proud that their son rode affirmative action all the way to a job at CNN.

That’s right, keep insulting your audience.

The difference from the example mentioned is that Obama’s got “priors.” The Chicago Annenberg Challenge, for instance, and all those creepy YouTube worship videos.

The whole matter of bypassing school boards and superintendents, as well as the original content of the study materials won’t go away either.

I don’t think much of Campbell Brown but Martin sends me into a flurry of channel-changing.

I don’t see how Dobbs can stand to do the lead-in.

The Broward County School Board and the Superintendant of Schools have “mandated” that all students watch the speech. Broward County Florida: A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party.

Robert who?

At any rate, let them keep calling AMERICANS racists, idiots, angry mobs, insane, domestic terrorists, etc.....the day of reckoning is coming the the hilarious part is they either fail to recognize, admit, or anticipate such. Woe to them when the hammer falls.

My first thought also since CNN is nothing but another form of Laugh-In.

We need to nip this Fascism in the bud, or this is what our school children will be chanting en masse.

More hate spewing out against the ‘Obama doubters’. If they get their way, criticizing The One will soon be a crime.
