When the San Francisco Chronicle published a relatively accurate article about the death cult summer camps run by Hamas in Gaza, some of their readers apparently suffered ideological trauma.
Case in point, this letter to the editor from Judith Ross, a moonbat so disturbed by the article that she began casting around for a comparison to the genocidal child abuse of Hamas—and settled, inevitably, on the Boy Scouts’ National Jamboree: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. (Hat tip: Daniel.)
Editor — Yes, it is disturbing that Palestinian children are being taught to chant “Rifle fire! Raise it up!” in Hamas summer camps.
But, hey, we’ve got militaristic chants going in this country for our kiddies, too. On Sunday, President Bush met with the Boy Scouts, a gathering of 50,000, at their National Jamboree at an Army base in Virginia. Among other things, he went on about patriotism and military service.
Bush’s audience had been warmed up by a man wearing an Army T-shirt who, as balloons with military emblems floated about, led the children in chants of “OO-rah” and “U.S.A.!”
Looks like we’ve got some of our own sun, fun and indoctrination.
