Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!
Book Description (from Amazon.com)
This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.


I don't know if this has been talked about yet, but its APPALLING!

3. Thom Hartmann Skewered The Author Several Weeks Ago
It was a funny interview because the Conservative author was outgunned and outclassed.

She did not know what hit her.

7. Thom Hartmann is brilliant
and absolutely my favorite radio host...because he can pick apart just about any NeoCon argument without breaking a sweat.

Tears. And it's not easy to move me to tears. Brilliant man. One of the names that floats through my mind when I think of people that make me glad to be on Earth.

17. I listened to that interview - it was very good. HE is very good...
I'd like to hear more of him - not many people on this planet can pull the wool over his eyes.

23. He does six hours of radio a day.
He does 3 hours in the morning on KPOJ:

Right after he does 3 hours on a national syndicated show that is now distributed by Air America:

Fridays, on the AAR stream, at 12pm Eastern, 9 Pacific is Brunch with Bernie, one hour with Thom and Bernie Sanders. It's radio that no progressive should miss!

26. Maybe when Franken starts his Senate run, they'll shuttle him over.
Same time, so all they would have to do is flip a switch on the audio feed and increase his ad prices. :-)

Yeah, he's the best Progressive voice out there, and I say that as a Randi fan.

10. "...valuable lessons of conservatism..."
Such as lying, bigotry, name-calling, ultra-zeolot fundamentalism, intolerance of everything, and thinking that harkens back to the 13th century.

16. when fidel castro gained power in 1959 ...he would have children ask JESUS
FOR AN ICE CREAM which was never produced. THEN the teachers would say, ASK FIDEL FOR AN ICE CREAM and the ice cream was produced.

WHOEVER WROTE THE BOOK, "HELP! MOM! THERE ARE LIBERALS UNDER MY BED!" IS USING THE SAME SORT OF PSYCHOLOGY USED BY FIDEL CASTRO MANY YEARS AGO...and it all stems from POPPY BUSH'S INAPPROPRIATE BUT POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT MANIPULATION OF THE WORD LIBERAL TO PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN CITIZENS CONSIDERING VOTING FOR MICHAEL DUKAKIS IN 1988, SINCE THEN THE BUSHIES HAVE PAIRED THE WORD LIBERAL WITH AWFUL THINGS TO THEIR GREAT POLITICAL ADVANTAGE.

IT WAS USED IN THEIR STATEMENT RELEASED TODAY ON THE CONTROVERSY OVER MURTHA'S BRING THE TROOPS HOME...BUT THANKFULLY AND HOPEFULLY, AMERICA AIN'T SCARED OF THE WORD LIBERAL ANYMORE. AMERICA IS BECOMING SCARED OF THE BUSHES.

AMERICA IS BEGINNING TO SEE A BUSHIE AND RUN...and hopefullY AMERICA WILL CONTINUE TO GROW IN THEIR NEED TO RUN AWAY FROM ANY OF THE BUSHES!

27. It's been discussed before, but it never hurts to do it again
The whole premise is absurd--it reads like so much Ayn Rand for toddlers. :puke: Valuable lessons of conservativism? Like what--stick your nose in everybody elses business, religious freedom only for fundamentalist Christians, go Corporatism, f*ck the poor and infirm, etc.? Yeah, those sound like righteous values to instill in our young. :sarcasm:

28. Better than a Republican in the child's bed - which is where
they are all too often found.
