A Back to School Message from NASCAR

[raybbr]

No kids for OIL (Obama Indoctrination Lesson)

You can bet your sweet bippy that those guys didn’t know that was going to be used to pimp der fuhrer’s indoctrination speech. I know at least three of them that are hardcore conservatives.

Where's your "pledge," comrade?

Ohh Tony :(

The kids will be told after viewing the NASCAR message that they will have to write a paper saying how glorious NASCAR is and how they will help NASCAR bring about CHANGE.

Oh C**p! They pimped Obama!?! Aeternal shame...

[ImpBill]

I watched the message from some of my favorite racers and find nothing inconsistent in promoting valid reasons for staying in school. It is a shame that some of our fellows here at FR will take issue with these drivers.

Not one mention of Obama nor any of his initiatives in their positive message.

Obama is nothing but a political whore!

[Krankor]

Why do people dislike Gordon so much?

[cripplecreek]

NASCAR has done this sort of thing since the days of Carter. I think Ronald Reagan gave Junior Johnson a pardon.

[Recovering_Democrat]

NASCAR drivers: men who work for a living.

Hussein: a community organizer who lives off of the work of others for a living.

[Jeff Gordon]

If Jeff Gordon says it you can believe it.

Does anyone have the original student’s worksheet for the speech? I saw it once but can’t remember where. I would like to see it again because I don’t think it sounded anything like a ‘stay in school’ speech follow-up.

Here is part of it...

[Right Wing Assault]

At least they are qualified to give the kids a message. These people have earned their money.

[Right Wing Assault]

Kids for transmission fluid.

I remember when I was in elementary school (PS 71) back in da Bronx watching a short movie by Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris giving us the stay in school and stay out of trouble message. No biggie here, even though my dear old Dad was a hard core Mets fan through thick and thin :)

Using NASCAR Drivers huh, reminds of the the scene in The Simpson's Movie when Tom Hanks says, “Hello, I'm Tom Hanks. The US Government has lost its credibility so it's borrowing some of mine.” It's sad and embarassing.
