"Help Mom! There are liberals under my bed!"
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 04:55 PM by goodboy
Look at this bullshit, a book to "teach conservative values" and demonize liberals



http://www.liberalsundermybed.com/

A book demonizing liberals to young kids.


Conservative Values:

Lying
Cheating
Stealing
Killing
Torturing
Greed-mongering
War-mongering
Bigotry
Intolerance

----Those are NOT values I want taught to any children.
ALso, she uses a pseudonym! I'd be ashamed if I were her too!

5. On Amazon it says it is aimed at kids 4-8 years old.
Wow, let's not even wait until they are out of Preschool to start preaching hate. :eyes:

I'd like to hear her explain to kids why it so important for rich people to get a tax cut that it is worth taking away food stamps from poor little kids.

12. Well one way is to go out to Amazon and post what you think
of the book. She needs a ton of thoughtful negative reviews.

14. "DeBrecht" is an anagram
of "Bed retch." I wonder if she was clever enough to come up with that on her own, or if it's just a coincidence.

Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 05:04 PM by longship
What does it say about the world we live in?

What kind of brainwashed noodlehead would even think about doing such a thing as this? This is pure, unadulterated propaganda and can be portrayed as nothing else.

Substitute "Jew" for "liberal" and what do you get?

16. oh, well, if they want to stoop to that level, we have facts to use
For instance, Republican politicians' police records.

In fact, we should be screaming from the rooftops about the content of that site... it strongly suggests the Franklin scandal didn't put a stop to anything.

18. I think somebody mentioned this piece of sewage around here
a while back.

Good you brought the subject up again, though; it's a dandy reminder of the inexplicably dense mentality of the dunderheads we're dealing with on the other side.

They actually eat that crap up, you know. I'm not kidding. They're THAT ignorant.

19. Oh baby! Read the Amazon reviews:
Sorry, url too long, you'll have to cut and paste into your browser.

Average star rating is 2. It's a battle between ones and fives. Excerpts:

Small busnessman responds., August 24, 2005
Reviewer: R. Cowling "RC" (Mid Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
What I find incredible about this book is the idea that small business paying taxes is somehow wrong. I just don't understand it.

What I also don't understand is how MY small business (10 years old this fall) pays MORE in taxes than IBM! What galls me is that IBM paid ZERO tax for several years in a row. Some of the 'top companies in America' actually get 'tax refunds'!

I'm proud that my small business pays taxes. My small business supports 'America'! My small business pays its fair share and isn't being rewarded for shipping jobs to India and Communist China.

My small business isn't coming to the Treasury Department with its hand out for taking part in a war of lies and sending billions to some off shore bank so that I can buy helicopters and yachts and raise spoiled rich white trash children like Paris Hilton who will never know the real value of being a citizen and 'belonging' to a nation!

'We are all in this together' has turned tragically into 'Screw you, I got your social security money'. America is being ridden into Despotism as if it was being ridden in a parade!

Eventually the piper must be paid. Get ready. The bill is about to be delivered...

heh, heh..., August 24, 2005
Reviewer: flo bee "shaking my head in dismay..." (blue california) - See all my reviews
From AJMET's review:
"You obviously are sucking off the teet of America and spending my tax money that pays your welfare check if you have nothing better to do than seek out conservative books and give them negative reviews just to get your political agenda printed. Mind your own business."

Heh heh... he said teets... heh heh...

Sorry I could not resist. And you speeled teats wrong...
Oh , and I have never been on welfare..but my children go to public school, so, yeah you are paying for my kids education...at a charter schol! bwa hahahah!
seriously. what a weird book for kids. Fine for adults, no problem with that, but 4-8 year olds? sad sad sad...

ps-my name and "tag" were just so you could say, "see?! those danged liberals!" but really, I'm not a democrat nor a liberal. I just call things as they are. This is a bad book. straigh out. Nothing redeeming at all... I guess the liberals have the corner on the market for creativity, coz if this is any indication of the creativity of conservatives, yikes!

Was this review helpful to you? YesNo (Report this)



It be better than My Pet Goat! ;), August 24, 2005
Reviewer: Pappy W. Bush, Jr. "George" (Crawford, DC) - See all my reviews
Em it be's a great way to fear monger for sure,. heh heh.

This is the 2nd book I ever read,.. but o'course,...I'm still working on My Pet Goat - September 11,.. well, ...it just threw me off a wee bit.

But growings up, me'pappy used to say,

"George, them liberals jest spend spend spend, en they just create huge deficits and take away jobs,..adn you know what,... they all wants'ta nation build."

Well HEYll! You make sure you put Cheney or that Robertson feller under you bed at night fer a goods night bedtime story, Ya'hear!"

Me'Pappy always knew best,. and so will yer young'uns!

21. Here's a good one from someone who is sane:
"Actually, the first volume in this series was titled, "Help, Mom! I Have to Work in the Coal Mine 16 Hours a Day!", written in 1894. Unfortunately, since the evil liberals initiated child labor laws, demand has fallen, and the book is no longer in print."




BTW: I voted "Yes" to the "Was this review helpful" for all the left-leaning reviews.

26. Unfortunately, Harper's magazine gave her free publicity
by featuring this ridiculous book in their magazine. The result? Coverage on major networks.

Thousands of authors would love to have their books talked about in notable periodicals, but Harper's felt it had to act as the unofficial PR agent for "Katherine DeBrecht".

34. But people need to know who they are "getting in bed" with.
I believe there are a lot of average people out there who really don't know what kind of vitriol the neo-cons really believe. I know it's hard for us to fathom this, but a lot of people don't have time or the inclination to keep themselves informed.

Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 07:13 PM by BlueStateGirl
towards her :) Of course Monica was all over her.

Ron asked if it would be okay for him to write a book about Rightwing Land where everyone is racist, hates gay people and the government lies the country into war.

Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 07:51 PM by DemGirl7
No Republican should complain if and when a liberal writes a book poking fun at them. So I'm encouraging someone on the DU to write and publish a book that makes fun of conservatives, and we can not only make it funnier, but we can have much better illustrations also.
