Another hypocrite heard from

by David Safier
From the Orlando Sentinel:

There once was a political operative who loved to tell crowds he had a simple way of explaining to children the difference between Republicans and Democrats.

"Republicans get up and go to work," he would tell his son. "Democrats get up and go down to the mailbox to get their checks."

This man not only talked to his son about Republican values, he went into public-school classrooms and talked about them as well.

That man is Jim Greer — the same Jim Greer who, as chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, just threw a nationwide hissy fit, claiming that the classroom is no place for politics and Barack Obama's "indoctrination."

One Seminole County mother, Barbara Wells, remembers the day Greer spoke to her son's sixth-grade class. "My son said he made some sort of Hillary Clinton joke," she recalled.

But you know what? Wells didn't pitch a fit.

She didn't call up the local TV station to scream about Republican indoctrination.

Instead, she advised her son: "Whatever you are told in life, remember there are two sides to every story."

In fact, Wells didn't even think much about Greer's foray into her son's classroom until she saw him on TV complaining about Obama.

There's no longer any question: Greer is a hypocrite.

(Hat tip to Flounder once again.)

  1. Isn’t there something a bit out of whack with this…?

    DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE . . . Help me understand how “we” find it acceptable to allow students to watch (over and over again) as George W. Bush – then our President sit bewildered holding a child’s book totally bamboozled as airplanes strike the World Trade Towers in NYC, but, now nearly 9 years after George W. Bush, lied to us about WMD in Iraq, citizens are fearful President Obama will if permitted to speak to students as proposed next Tuesday will have a deleterious, detrimental and negative impact upon today’s students…?

    FDR said it quite succinctly … “the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself” …

    Demand and embrace – full, open, honest, timely DISCLOSURE accept nothing less from anyone.

    Respectfully,
