Obama has 'Children of the Corn' type vidoes where the children sing of the new utopia that Obama will bring. So logically (NOT) apparently the next step is teaching/leading children to taunt other children as racist if they support McCain/Palin? I hate to see the left redefine the word 'racism' to mean 'different opinion' and have it percolate throughout our culture, right down to the innocence of childhood.

The sadest thing is that 40 year old, intelligent liberals are acting the same way as these 12 year olds.

If Obama is elected it will become a hate crime to disagree or protest.

Call on Obama to repudiate...

LOL welcome to the Obamanation Supression of free speech and political opposition.

We really need uniforms for all schools. In school, I never wore a Reagan tee shirt even though I thought he was great...Ok I went to Catholic school. lol. Seriously to see kids wearing Obama tee shirts make me sick. Obviously there parents are putting them up to it. Who are these Obama mania kids thinking they are influencing? Other seventh graders. lol. I think there are other ways to express your support for a candidate.

The same type of stuff has been happening in my sister’s MS in Indianapolis

Hmmm.... I have a Palin t-shirt, too. When I wore it to the local county fair, I received many positive responses and just some dirty looks from disapproving Democrats.

And that's precisely what they've done. Over the years I've read about people being called "racists" for supporting across-the-board tax cuts, drilling at ANWR, 2nd Amendment rights, etc. The word was no meaning now.

Is it surprising that the Liberal bigots are spawning Liberal bigots?

Political correctness has ALWAYS been about supressing dissent and criminalizing conservativism. It never was about “tolerance” for “diversity”.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

No—the 40 year olds have been warped over time and will be advocating that the girl get gang raped and then sent to re-education camp. The next time we see her, she’ll have that lobotomized look on her face and will be waiving an Obama banner.

It’s only going to get worse. I’d stock up now....If you know what I mean...

Too late, they've already defined a difference with liberal dictum as "hate", so this is just specializing the general case.

My 12YO daughter has seen kids at her middle school (also central Florida) wearing B.O. T-shirts, so she made her own Tshirt that says "McCain-Palin 08" and wore it today.
She'll be home in a half-hour. I'll ask her, first thing, what the reaction was and post it.

[Domandred]

Wait so now your racist just for wearing a shirt supporting another candidate? The shirt was pink and had the McCain/Palin logo on it. Thats it!

[jeffc]

BTW! When I BM something, where does it go? I cannot find find any BM’s I have made . . . .LOL

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Obviously she would have been praised if she had worn an “Obama for President” t shirt, and would not have been called racist.
Too bad this radical marxist is probably going to get elected because of White guilt.

[Westlander]

I only have 10,000 or so. Time to stock up.

[east1234]

Yeah, but the’ll be on hell of a backlash down the road.
