When conservatives complained that President Obama intended to indoctrinate children with his school speech, liberals howled with mock indignation.
But if the liberal Washington Post is to be believed (admittedly a risky proposition), conservatives had good reason to worry.
Note this nugget buried deep within a recent Washington Post story:
When critics lashed out at President Obama for scheduling a speech to public school students this month, accusing him of wanting to indoctrinate children to his politics, his advisers quickly scrubbed his planned comments for potentially problematic wording. They then reached out to progressive Web sites such as the Huffington Post, liberal bloggers and Democratic pundits to make their case to a friendly audience.
Say what? Problematic wording had to be scrubbed from his planned comments?
If, as the Obama administration insisted, the original speech contained no attempt to indoctrinate the children, why did any “potentially problematic wording” need to be scrubbed?
This is similar to when Democrats hurridly removed the death panels from ObamaCare legislation after howling that there was no such thing as death panels.
The way we understand it, the theory behind everything the Democrats do these days can be summed up as, “It doesn’t exist unless someone actually notices that it exists in which case we’ll change it while simultaneously insisting that our opponents are making it all up.”
