They call it "political cynicism". I am speechless....
The Obama campaign’s attempted use of children to influence their parents is absolutely open and blatant. Why doesn’t this outrage people? This is political cynicism of an amazing degree.
Barack Obama | Change We Need | The Talk.
Do’s & Don’ts
Do share your personal reasons for voting for Barack Obama;
Do have confidence — your opinion matters to people who care about you;
Do read up on Barack’s positions on the issues you know matter to them;
Do find a good time when both you and they will be open to a conversation;
Do talk to them in person if you live nearby, or on the phone if you don’t;
Do ask your friends to talk to their parents and grandparents as well;
Don’t worry about knowing everything about policy positions before you have this conversation;
Don’t feel defensive. Stay calm, cool and collected;
Don’t wait until the last minute — it might take a few conversations for you to convince them, so start as early as possible;
Don’t catch them at a bad time — make sure you have their attention and enough time to have a conversation.
Unbelievable. And it gets worse.
Ideas to Get the Conversation Started
Approaching your parents about who they are voting for can be intimidating if you’ve never talked about politics with them before. But this campaign has been built by supporters sharing their stories about what inspires them and why they want to see change in this country. Here are some ideas for ways you can talk to your parents about why you support Barack:
Call or ask in person if they saw the debate and what they thought about it. Tell them why you are voting for Obama and why it’s important to you.
Print out for them information on some issues you know are important.
Share Barack’s speech from the Democratic National Convention or Meet Barack, a video about who Barack Obama is, where he comes from, and what his values are.
Email them and tell them why it’s important to you that they vote for Obama.
Think about their perspective. If they are Republican, or are concerned about Barack’s policies, think about where they are coming from and what makes them think the way that they do.
And they’ve produced a video to go with this outrageous effort:
Go over to LGF and see the rest.I refuse to link to the original on Obama's site. There, they have a form you can fill in to share your experience about the "talk with your parents."
UPDATE: I just found yetr another obscenjity via KGF, I am not going to give you an excerpt here, but let's just say the title is a give-away:

Obama Compared America to Nazi Germany
Politics | Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 5:10:01 pm PST
The audio recording of Barack Obama espousing his socialist philosophy of “redistribution of wealth” is all over the Internet and Fox News today (although most other media outlets are ignoring it), but there’s another disturbing section on that tape that has so far escaped notice.
The link to the audio is here: Chicago Public Radio - Audio Library: Odyssey.
At about 15:30, Obama compares what was going on in the United States during the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education to ... Nazi Germany. Yes, really. Here’s the quote:
“...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective...there’s a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you’ve got World War II, you’ve got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home.”
There you have it. America is close to electing a President who compares his own country to Nazi Germany.

Someone PLEASE make this insanity STOP!!!!!

I attended a football game Saturday where my 10 yr old was playing....of course Parents of young male (and one female player on the other team) are high spirited and energetic on Saturday mornings, maybe more then the team itself....but that was not what I found to be the thing that stood out among the crowd of Starbuck drinking parents....it was the younger siblings of these football players, wearing t-shirts sporting the names of both the teams and their players.
They were debating the election....these children were younger then 6. I was appalled over this conversation and argument ensuing between babies. But the most disturbing thing I heard was one little girl call another one stupid as she pushed her down all because the other little girl has said that her Mommy was voting for McCain. This little girl was left in the dirt crying as she tried to explain to her mother what happened. Her mother was equally upset, and yet, did she really have the right to be? Wasn't she just as responsible as the other parent?
I have one daughter who is very opinionated regarding the election. She sees things as her dad and I do, but not because we have forced her to, but because she chose to....I have tried NOT to force my opinions on her as she has grown, but given her my reasons when asked, requesting that she find her own way....I have spoken with her friends who are both mixed on their views, some for and some against my views and I have laughed with them and joked about how glad I am that they are not old enough to vote yet....but I have always ended it with the fact that they have got to learn, read and know the issues before they just assume what they hear to be the truth....an election is not about one issue, but one issue can determine an election.....and one issue can destroy a Nation without the right leadership at the right time.
Leadership with experience and checks and balances without radical ideas breezing through legislation without anyone to protect us....from ourselves....
The kind of left side 'the one' 'messiah' way of addressing our Nation is sickening to me....being a politician means you will lie to get where you want to be, regardless of the party affiliation....know this before you hop onboard the brainwashing train.
Agree of course ASW! When my daughter was growing up and was old enough to ask ME questions (not my forcing any issue) I would always preface any opinion I gave with:
This is what I believe, and why, but when you are grown up you may come to a different opinion, and that is just fine with me." (And oh yes! She then went on to get a BA in Poli Sci.. Go figure.;)
Your comment makes me sooooo sad. When did we stop encouraging kids to be kids, and enjoy a trouble-free childhood? Yes, I blame the parents. Every time.
