How did this get on the evening news? Did someone think this is a revealing snapshot of the need for the innocent high schoolers to "speak truth to power" to the president? And that it was a story that all of America needed to hear?  Some network editor sat in a meeting and decided that a high school prank was worth comment on the evening news, only because it embarrassed the president. And yet, that same editor still hasn't put on any reasonable discussion of any of the topics that confront our country. That same editor put on Paris Hilton stories.

So tell me again about this frickin' Fairness Doctrine for talk radio???? 

You have the obvious network bias against the President.

You have the media making trivia into news if it suits their purpose. 

You have educators indoctrinating students. 

You have an anti-American slander accepted as wisdom. 

You have the misfocus of concern on the treatment of terrorists in captivity instead of on the victims of terrorism and the stopping of terrorism.

You have the self rightiousness of left. 

You have the bad manners of the left.

You have the hijacking of an event by people with political motivations. 

You have a publicity stunt that was obiously co-ordinated with members of the media. (like the reporter in Iraq who gives a soldier an embarassing question and then covers it as if the soldiers question was spontaneous an genuine) 

Finally you have the a news anchor who sees himself as a noble journalist, when he is in fact a Democratic party shill.

So the kiddies got their time in the lime light..  well, terrific!  I can just see some home room teacher strolling back and forth in front of his/her class, saying something like,

"So, class, isn't there something that you want to say to the President?  What's bugging you?  Do you like what you hear about our involvement in Iraq?  What about Gitmo?  What about torture? How does it make you feel that the USA might use torture?" 

And of course as they all sit there wide-eyed, all pumped up on BDS, pushed on them by their liberal teacher, like little robots, they decide to write a letter to the President and let him know just how much it bothers them that we, you know, are like, what was it..  oh, yeah..  that we do not want America to represent torture.  

Hey Teach!  Whoever you are, where ever you are, STOP trying to indoctrinate our young people with your leftist spew! 

Two observations:

1. The ceremony is a celebration of their achievement not a political event, and they have been used by the political left to spew some agenda. I guess that’s what you call “looking out for the children”. Their achievements have now been overshadowed by their political stunt. Welcome to liberalism.

2. These children were “invited” by the office of the President to be recognized for their achievements and they gladly accepted their award from the very same person they disrespected for supposedly torturing. Now if they rejected their award that would be saying something. This tells you all you need to know about these little leftist crumb crunchers and their supporters.

It’s a shame these kids were indoctrinated/used by the whacko left to promote their agenda. They will now be remembered for having the courage to diss the president, not their accomplishments. Now that's something to write home about.

First of all, this demonstrates the brainwashing of our youth, and the encouragement from the MSM to continue to do so. Secondly, I want... no, I DEMAND of clear definition of "torture". I want to know exactly what is and what isn't "torture". All I hear are arbitrary statements to the effect that "such and such is torture" and generalities that the US practices torture. These loud-mouths need to come up with an actual definition. Of course, it'll never happen, because even they know much, if not most, of what they whine about doesn't even come close. Some of these morons have gone so far as to label harsh words and loud voices as torture. In their world, we're supposed to hand captured terrorists the iced drink of their choice while they're sitting in the easy-chair we provided, and quietly and nicely ask them about their knowledge of murdering our citizens and attacking our military from hiding, all the while preserving their dignity and showing the proper deference and respect for their person and philosophy... These people make me seriously ill...

He seems unusually sharp for a six-year-old but the military says he’s for real.

Heart-ache:

Juma said that sometime last month Taliban fighters
forced him to wear a vest they said would spray out flowers when he
touched a button. He said they told him that when he saw American
soldiers, “throw your body at them.”

This was just the latest example of what the enemy is willing to do to kids. Will Brian Williams report to these students the types of atrocities commited against children by our enemies?

The fact that 91 of the 141 did not sign the letter is encouraging. Good for them.

Williams highlights the losing side again - typical.

Brian Williams, you and NBC are beyond despicable.

Does the enemy within even understand they are defeating themselves in the long wrong.

Fools...nothing but vain leftist elite fools with an agenda...who will end up doing their own-selves in with time.

Btw...Pretty convenient to use kids when convenient now isn't it?

Oops wait a minute...the left has been doing that since I can remember...throw in the elderly too.

Btw...the leftist msm are the critters who are guilty of torture to the sane people in the real world.
