When all else fails use kids to push lefty ideas

August 10, 2011 | Jim Vicevich | | ,

Honestly, do 8 year olds really understand stock trade transaction taxes or the implications of universal health care? Never mind … it’s the message, using the last refuge of a failing socialist state … children. Didn’t they try that in Wisconsin?

Via Hot Air … this apparently is part of the Van Jones new liberal Tea Party effort. From Moveon.org

Remember that liberal tea party that Van Jones is building? Here’s one of their first big initiatives: The “Contract for the American Dream,” in which fresh-faced load-bearers for an imploding entitlement regime cheerily read cue cards calling for more weight on their backs, please. If you’re wondering how we can possibly afford “Medicare for all” when we can’t afford Medicare for some, you obviously missed this video from a few weeks ago of Jones reassuring America that we are not in fact broke, no matter how many zeroes there might be up on that national debt scoreboard.

Head over to Hot Air … he has another video there. Some listeners this morning called this child abuse. Hmmm … future voters of America.

    You know when the Democrats are getting desperate, they begin to bring in either the women or the children as a cover for the record they cannot defend.

    When I see this video and the one from NJ— the “Barack Hussien Obama, MMM,MMMM, MMM” video I am reminded of the scene from “Schindeler’s List” where they play the children’s music and load them into the trucks.

    Thank goodness there’ll be fewer stupid little kids like these in the future under Obamacare’s birth control and abortion mandates.

      ?Obama loves to speak to children,they are the only ones naive enough to believe him.

      Clearly, there are plenty of na?ve adult Democrats, as polls will demonstrate…

    Sorry, I couldn’t watch/listen to this. Crystal and Sammy, can you defend this? Inquiring minds want to know and this is a simple yes or no question do not respond with a it’s Bush’s fault.
