Paul Begala Publishes Disgusting Comics Calling President Bush and John McCain Gay

Posted on 09/16/2008 6:45:47 AM PDT by ProudHockeyMom

My oldest son went off to college and became a Democrat. If that isn't enough, he constantly tries to convince me that our family’s conservative values are wrong and I should vote for Barack Obama. Well that's not happening, but he still tries.

Last week he called me and said, Mom I sent you a book. It will totally change your mind about the election. The next day I receive a package with Paul Begala’s (that hateful Clinton shill from CNN) book called Third Term. My first response was Third Term, well that would be much better than the alternative.

I thumbed through the book and in addition to the usually liberal garbage, it contains cartoons, one of which portrays Bush and McCain as the characters in the movie Brokeback Mountain. I didn't even recognize it at first, my son pointed it out and thought it was funny. Well it's not. Portraying our Commander in Chief and a hero like John McCain in this deviant light is offensive.

I've been lurking at FreeRepublic for a while but after I saw these comics I created an account. Its a few days later and I am mad as ever so I decided to write my first post.

Normally I would chalk this up to liberals being liberals, but Begala is on the Communist News Network every day spewing his hate. I needed to take some action. In addition to writing this post, I sent a letter to CNN demanding they remove Begala from the air or at least remove him from Presidential Campaign Coverage. After calling John McCain gay in his book he is no longer fit to be on TV.

I also emailed several Family Values Organizations I am a member of and the McCain Campaign and asked them to speak out. I ask my fellow Freepers to speak up as well. I realize my voice matters little, but as a Christian I need to stand up against this hate.

That’s what I told him. As far as college bills go, we pay half his tuition and he is expected to come up with the other half, plus room and board and any pocket money.

Welcome. There was a post a few days ago with a story of a young girl spouting the liberal bias. It put things in context with her father asking her if she was willing to give up some of her grade point average up to help out other students that were not working as hard.

I tried to find the post but am I not good at that. Can someone find it and link it to help out this ProudHockeyMom?

Troll very much?!

I mean, your college son sends you a book that was only published last week...and it’s going to change your life??

You’re a “Christian” but you want to stop a “hate
filled book?

You just joined and you’re a “hockey” mom??

You’re a “proud” hockey mom of your new college Democrat??

I’m sorry...I may be way off base here but you sure are throwing a lot of red troll flags.

As advertised!

An anti-American book by an Anti-American writer.

Now we need to find this nice lady — who is new to Free Republic — links to books which tell the truth about this election.

So she can send them to her son.

My college-age son also was on the Obama bandwagon until recently when he traveled to Ground Zero. That changed his tune.

You need to pull his funds for college and see if socialism carries his sorry butt.

The Left has no sense of decency. The sophomoric nonsense that used to be reserved for college newspapers has now found its way into the mass media.

1. Was this a textbook for class?

2. Are you paying for your son’s liberal brainwashing?

Is there a way to put content like that up?

If you wanted (it's unnecessary), you could link to the book's Amazon page. Open the page in another window, then in a post screen use the following: < a href="[Post Amazon's page URL here]>[Post the link text that will show as a link here]< /a>.

Note: Don't put in the "spaces" after the first and last "<" as I did. That's just so the line will show in my post.

You need to make sure that your child knows why you believe the way you do and that they know how to handle the forces that will try to change their minds. I send my kids (I go as well) to a worldview seminar each year. They have a special camp each year for students that have just graduated high school and will be heading to college. College is where they usually lose their values. We use www.summit.org. It is Christian but you can get a lot out of it as a Conservative Republican because the values are the same.

Did your son write his own ticket to college or did you pay for any of it?

If you did I would post a “cease and desist” for his commentary.

I have a child on the way and I would probably feel like a total failure as a parent if she turned out to be a liberal. Anyone know how this can be prevented?

Spend time with your kids, laugh, read to them from the bible and discuss politics. Don't put down any ideas that they bring home from school. Rather, calmy explain the error. Finally, and most importantly, watch what your kids learn in school about global warming. Set the record straight.

Good luck and God's blessings!
