LIBERADIO(!)

Go ahead, Google Obama Youth. I dare you.

Michael DelGiorno continues his irresponsible broadcasting today on 99.7 WTN, firing up parents of school-aged children by applying historically combustible rhetoric to President Obama, and then sending these highly agitated parents to your kids’ schools.

Next Tuesday, President Barack Obama will deliver a national address to the students of in public schools across the country to encourage the kids, as a letter from Secretary of Education Arne Duncan states on the Ed.gov website, to “challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.”

Age appropriate follow-up discussions and activities have also been set up for kids in grades K-6 and 7- 12.

And away DelGiorno goes. But not before prefacing his fear-not-fact-based harangue against President Obama’s address to classrooms with this:

“By the way, may I say that doing this, in and of itself…there’s nothing wrong with that if the President sticks to the text we are being pre-given. There’s nothing wrong with that. The motive? The real agenda? And oh, by the way, the real curriculum behind it? Might be troubling. Here. Follow the bouncing ball.”

The subtext is, of course, “don’t look at the facts, listen to my insinuations and snide tone and be very afraid because the bogeyman is out to get your children.”

So believing it his purpose in life to drag everything down into the gutter with him, DelGiorno then used a good portion of his 3-hour radio show yesterday to sully President Obama’s address. Sandwiched between words llike “Hitler,” “indoctrinating,” and “scary stuff,” he said the following:

• Barack Obama was going to “seize control of the internet”
• Barack Obama will “keep everybody’s name and archive them who speak ill of his policies”
• “I don’t need the President to raise my kids”
• The first time any president has “spoken in secret on the internet directly to people’s kids”
• “Public education is not about education anymore it’s about indoctrination, and they (the Obama administration/Department of Education) prove it here”
• “Students will accept Barack Obama as their Lord & Saviour”
• “Does the speech make you want to do anything…besides kill yourself…”
• “They’re going to make a whole freakin’ semester out of the President”

As you know from reading about his proclivity to falsely label President Obama the “antichrist,” DelGiorno lies to further his agenda (which, by the way, is to scare the living daylights out of his fellow Americans/Christians). He didn’t disappoint when yesterday he told his listeners that the President’s address will be broadcast to their kids directly to their classrooms – in secret over the internet – so parents won’t be able to watch it. Why not on TV?, he asked. Because, he said answering his own question, they don’t want you to know how they are indoctrinating your kids.

DELGIORNO: How do you feel, in general, about the President of the United States, while you’re at work, through a website and through the teachers, are going to talk to your kids…without you there…about something you don’t know what he’s going to do? About something you don’t know what they’re going to do in classroom? I thought it was interesting. He’s either really web-oriented….why not talk to them over television? Why the internet?
SIDEKICK: Or he views them much like the Muslims do, the Vanguard of the Future. [A nudge nudge wink wink to "socialism" and Hitler youth].
DELGIORNO: Takes a radical broad to say that. You got guts girl.
SIDEKICK: Thank you.

The truth is, the address will be available to anyone to watch on the White House website as well as on *Ta Dah* C-SPAN, which the last time I checked was TV. The address will also be streamed live online at C-SPAN.org, and on C-SPAN Radio (90.1 FM in Washington, D.C., and channel 132 on XM Satellite Radio)

The simple, easily-proven truth is easy to ignore when it can’t be used to further your fear-based conservative talk radio agenda, isn’t it?

Today, DelGiorno didn’t even bother prefacing his comments but he did add what I’m sure he thinks is a grand idea to his bile. An idea he so expertly pretended (like he pretends with all his ideas) to think up all on his own you could almost hear the fake light-bulb go on atop his head.

Instead of keeping your kids at home on Tuesday, he thought “spontaneously,” why not go to school with them? That’ll show ‘em (meaning principals and teachers), he said.

So DelGiorno is firing up parents with insinuations – that the government is trying to indoctrinate their kids into a Socialist Hitler-like Obama Youth (as I heard one parent-caller today describe it), that he is making them pledge their allegiance to the President (instead of the country), and that the government wants to whip up blind allegiance in you kids in the same way terrorists want to whip it up in theirs – and then sending them in that highly agitated state to your kids school.

Oh, have I mentioned that DelGiorno’s kids go to private school so he won’t have anything to worry about on Tuesday?
