'Help! Mom!' casts liberals as villains

WASHINGTON -- Katharine DeBrecht, a married mother of three, wanted to make a point about the importance of conservative values.
So, she penned a children's book -- "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!" -- to stand up to the "liberal agenda that's being thrown at our kids from the left."
**SNIP**
Liberals have lambasted the book as "brainwashing" and "Nazi propaganda." The Democratic Underground Web site listed Mrs. DeBrecht as one of its "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" last month.
"If ever there was a book that public libraries should ban, it is this one," one outraged reviewer wrote on Amazon.com.
Sheldon Rampton of the Center for Media and Democracy, a watchdog for corporate propaganda in Madison, Wis., voiced concern about marketing the book to children.
"If this were a parody for adult entertainment, I would see it as that. But if this is a book that is actually intended for kids to read, then I think there's a problem with it," Mr. Rampton said.
Children aren't necessarily sophisticated enough to understand these kinds of policies, and "liberals under the bed" sounds like "monsters under the bed," Mr. Rampton said. "Kids have enough real things that their parents need to teach them to stay away from."
Mrs. DeBrecht, who is active in South Carolina Republican politics, said she is too busy working on her next books to be bothered by liberal "whining."
"Help! Mom! Hollywood Is in My Hamper," which takes on politicking liberal celebrities, is due in March, she said, and lawyers and judges soon will be the stars of their own "Help! Mom!" books.

Spoken as true liberal, always hunting for the negatives.
LOL! I have often wondered how that process takes place...I can see the "committee" that has to decide on which books to acquire...
COMMITTEE CHAIR: "Number 2..."Unfit for Command"...
COMMITTTEE: (Faces of those present appear to be comtemplating a cat turd which has been dropped on the center of the table)
COMMITTEE CHAIR: "I don't think this book is worth acquiring...our money should be spent on books that lots of people are asking for and want to see...for example, 'My Life' by Bill Clinton has been characterized as "An exhaustive, soul-searching memoir, Bill Clinton's My Life is a refreshingly candid look...""
COMMITTEE MEMBER 3 (Tom): "Umm...we have had far more requests for "Unfit for Command" than any other book, and..."
COMMITTEE CHAIR: That's nice. But we have a responsibility to provide our patrons with factual, balanced reading material when it comes to politics and current events. Many of our patrons are not equipped to make the choices, so we have to do that for them...now...next on the list is 'Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror' by Richard Clarke. Lets vote on this...all in favor...okay, that is everyone but TOM and BETSY in favor..."
Liberals have lambasted the book as "brainwashing" and "Nazi propaganda."
If any one understands the intricacies of "brainwashing" and "Nazi propaganda" it is the libs. Think I will go buy some books, just to further the cause.
Kinda makes you wonder if the NEA is in bed with Planned Parenthood. Follow the money.
"I have often wondered how that process takes place...I can see the "committee" that has to decide on which books to acquire... "
By George, I think you've got it! What saves my library is that they have agreed to purchase the top 10 NYT books for each library, so there is no decision involved. If they didn't, I'd buy them out of my regular collection money. It's interesting how much these books circulate, too...they can hardly stand it!
I am from Massachusetts, and you can imagine what that process is like. However, for us, the saving grace is that my local library belongs to the Minuteman Library Network, which is GREAT! I can go online, search for a book from over a hundred (I think) libraries, select it, request it and have it delivered to my library where I am notified by email that it has arrived and is ready for pickup.
With that many libraries involved, the chances are good that someone has acquired the book. Of course, none of them have acquired THIS one yet...
I appreciate the job librarians do. When they are at work, they are pretty busy in my library whenever I am there.
I think the next book should be "Help Mom! Ted Kennedy is driving our bus."
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More intolerance from the liberal hate machine!
That is very good.
LOL!...I dare say, A fitting Endosement. :D
People could always donate their used copies.
LOL!...just opening the book is quite an accomplishment for most Liberals "knuckle-draggers" :D
If I were hoping to find negatives I wouldn't have plunked down the bucks to buy TWO copies of the book. (scoff)
LOL! ..sooner to be a Classic! :D
I love how the leftists immediately called for this book to be banned. Is a mass book burning next?
And here is what the liberals prefer:
BRAVO to this mom!
The linkage was intentional...liberals ARE monsters.
