Kids know better than parents

Rush shared a video (unfortunately not on Youtube and I can't embed it) of a commercial made for Obama, with kids singing a song telling their parents what to do.

I am so sick of media that portrays kids as knowing more than their parents, and parents as amiable buffoons. Kids already think they know more than their parents, and parents already kowtow to the little brats more than they should.

Two guys run it: Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein. The advertising agency is Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. And they have just released a pro-Obama commercial that features children singing about a variety of horrors that will happen under a President Romney -- sick people will just die; oil fills the sea -- and it's about two minutes.

I want to play it for you in its entirety. It's been around throughout the weekend. The conservative blogosphere is near meltdown over it. The kids in this video, if you look at a picture of them, they're well fed. They're well dressed. They are well cared for. They've all got braces and glasses. No doubt they have excellent medical care. They're not kids from poverty. They’re not in any distress. At least the way they're presented here, the way they're dressed, they're just as normal as any other kid that you'd see anywhere.

They're nothing remarkable. They don't look like they're homeless. They don't look like they're downtrodden, don't look like they're starving, don't look like they're in any pain. They're smiling and all this stuff. But what somebody did here was put the far-left, extreme Democrat platform to music. And they've had these kids sing these lyrics: Coal mines are bad. The air is so bad. One more breath will make you sick and then you'll die due to bad health care.

Oil is floating on the oceans. There are toll roads and endless wars. The Chinese are making all our stuff. We have global warming, no place to play, no Big Bird. The tax code's all wrong, and it's all the fault of their mothers and fathers. You know, when you hear it, you have to ask yourself: Who in the world do they think this is going to persuade? And then when you hear it, folks, this is who they are. I always tell people, “If you could just learn to look at Democrats today as liberals and understand what that means ideologically, we woulda never have elected Barack Obama.”

If people understood liberalism, nobody would have fallen for the myth that was the caricature of Obama, that it was all lies. If people understood liberalism, everybody would have known that the next four years were gonna pan out exactly as they did, and that unemployment was gonna rise. The government was gonna get bigger; the private sector was gonna get smaller. Unemployment was gonna skyrocket. Poverty would increase and income would decrease. This why I said, “I hope he fails!” If people just understood who these people are, and they get their minds around it and accept it, we would have so many fewer problems than we've got.

So I want you to listen to this. This is not a parody. This is not a joke. This is who these people really are. This is what they are teaching their kids. This is what they want the kids of America to believe. This is the mainstream Democrat Party today...

CHORUS OF PRETEEN KIDS: (upbeat music) Imagine an America. Where strip mines are fun and free. Where gays can be fixed, and sick people just die, and oil fills the sea. We don’t have to pay for freeways! Our schools are good enough. Give us endless wars on foreign shores and lots of Chinese stuff. We’re the children of the future, American through and through. But something happened to our country. And we’re kinda blaming you. We haven’t killed all the polar bears, but it’s not for lack of trying. The Earth is cracked, Big Bird is sacked, and the atmosphere is frying. Congress went home early. They did their best we know. You can’t cut spending with elections pending, unless it’s welfare dough. We’re the children of the future, American through and through. But something happened to our country, and we’re kinda blaming you. Find a park that is still open; take a breath of poison air. They foreclosed your place to build a weapon in space, but you can write off your au pair. It’s a little awkward to tell you, but you left us holding the bag. When we look around. The place is all dumbed down. And the long term’s kind of a drag. We’re the children of the future, American through and through. But something happened to our country. And yeah, we’re blaming you. You did your best. You failed the test!

LITTLE GIRL: (dramatic music) Mom and Dad, We’re blaming you!

RUSH: And there you have it. And that is for real. That is produced by a Democrat ad agency, which has produced a number of ads for Democrat candidates and for Obama.

Mom and dad, we're blaming you. Well, where do you go then? Obviously government's the answer for everybody and everything. Mom and dad, you've almost killed the polar bears, you've got the oceans with oil on 'em, you've got the atmosphere frying, global warming, you heard it all. And this is who they are. (You wonder if kids will ever blame their mom for giving birth to them illegitimately instead of getting married and providing a decent life for them so they don't have to live on the government teat. That's when kids need to blame their mom...and if he can be found...their babydad.
