Morning Joe crowd bashes Barbour for sending kids to private schools: doesn’t mention Dems sending kids to Sidwell Friends. Ping to Today show list.

Mike Barnicle did his bit, contributing the tale of whites in South Boston pulling their kids out of integrated public schools in favor of parochial and private ones.

I seem to recall that they did that because their kids were being bussed, under court order, to schools, hours away, in dangerous neighborhoods.

Joe Scarborough is now the liberals favorite psuedo-conservative.

The crowd that they are playing to is too dumb or too close minded to even draw the conclusion.

Being a southern white male is the crime for which there is no defense.

This is a fantastic point!

I'm betting that fact about Sidwell is never, ever mentioned.

Blacks are unfortunately below Moslems.
And Moslems are equal with Union Leaders and Congress."

Well, there went that enormous nationwide groundswell of support for Haley for president.

We’re getting played. Our sympathies are being aroused for this candidate, or that one, shaping backlash that advances the game for the candidate.

The Weekly Standard gushes over Barbour at the same time the Morning Joe crowd slow-cooks him. The media is trying already to pick our candidate for us by playing on our fury against the media and working our emotions.

Some (maybe many) freepers have stronger and longer resumes than some of our potential candidates. Other candidates have solid resumes, but whose career-long affectations have been RINO through and through. They owe their career to RINOs. The media WANTS us to think that southern, folksy arrogant and populist will make our next nominee because Obama can draw a contrast of cool competence and utter command of the issues.

Methinks we are being played by both sides.

I know of Haley Barbour when I was living in Yazoo City, Mississippi and attending reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson MS. The private school was a christian based one whereby many families whom could afford it sent there children. To say the public schools were attended only by black children is wrong. My deceased wife attended the public schools in Yazoo City, and she was white. Her parents gave her choice public school or private school. Gues what she choose public school alongside her 3 sisters. There is no comaparison to the schools in Washington DC and the schools in Yazoo City. It is odd to compare the two. The private school in Yazoo City is totally different than Sidwell friends Private School- How many children at Sidwell friends go there on scholarship. Sidwell friends is geared for the elitist politicians that have their noses up in the air, whom think they are better than everyone else. I say that if a politician has children they must attend the public school system. This would wake the elists to make for improvement in the nations capitol public school system.

The public school sysytem in Yazoo City is pretty good. I have not been in the area for 14 years though. But my deceased wife attended the schools and she was decently educated, all her sisters went to college and graduated, and 3 sisters went on for masters degree.

Lets stopping the bashing of Barbour and Yazoo City. And stop the comparison of the public school in DC. As well as the private Christian School in Yazoo City and the elitist Sidwell Friends School. There are no way the comparisons will ever hold water.

Remember when Obama cancelled the school voucher program that helped poor kids in DC to go to private schools? I submit it was because he didn’t want his precious offspring mingling with the kids from the other side of the tracks.

Basically that is the Chicago liberal way. Its an open secret that Chicago Dems either get their kids into a magnet school or send them to a private school, usually a Catholic one. The regular HSs are a detention center usually non-diverse so as to avoid race riots (the deseg order long since abandoned once they figured out that lower class whites were never, ever going to send their kids back to CPS system.)

Aren’t Republicans in favor of school vouchers, and Dems are the ones that want to keep the public schools, so who is the hypocrite? It is like calling out Repubs for not paying taxes, you can call them what you like, but you can’t call them hypocrites. Only pro tax Dems who don’t pay are hypocrites.
