Today, on Rush Limbaugh's morning update:

Preschool Protest

November 18, 2002


For conservative students attending the University of California at Berkeley, yes such students really do exist folks, the California Patriot is the newspaper of record. On their website is a disturbing report of a recent antiwar protest on the steps of Berkeley’s City Hall. I know antiwar protests are the norm at Berkeley, but this one featured preschool kids.

They stood around a peace bell made from melted guns. One child-activist, Celia, told the crowd that President Bush wants to make war because he wants oil. When asked if she could name the president of Iraq, the six-year-old asked a friend, "Is it a boy or a girl?" Her friend said, "I think it's a boy." Skyler Johnson, five, shrugged and said, "My mom might know." After his mother gave him some coaching, Skyler said, "We don't want war. Oil kills lots of people." Other preschoolers went to the microphone to say, "We can't keep killing each other. Then we will all die and suffer."

Berkeley City Council member Linda Maio told the kids, "We heard your message loud and clear. Bush needs a time-out." Officials then pledged to call on the President to use words to resolve conflicts.

None of this is made up my friends, I swear to you on a stack of dollar bills. These children are being taught by their own parents and elected officials to believe the worst about their country, and that defending this nation and its values are immoral. You want to define child exploitation, look no further than this story.
