Propaganda machine keeps cranking

It appears that the right-wing nut cases have given up on their efforts to convince the saner Americans that President Obama isn't a citizen and therefore not eligible to be President.

Their new tactics to discredit him is to disrupt any meetings where he is presenting his ideas. They employ the tactics used by Hitler's brown shirts back in the early 1930s. Push and shove and drown out the speaker. They exaggerate, distort and outright lie about his ideas. Their own ideas are the ideas of the past eight years that got us into two wars, record deficits, the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs and the worst recession in history.

Their most idiotic action so far was refusing to allow schoolchildren to listen to his speech urging them to attend and do well in school because they consider such philosophy left-wing propaganda.
