"Sesame Street has always stood for mutual respect and understanding," a spokeswoman said. "We're outraged that our characters would be used in this unfortunate and distasteful manner. This is not at all humorous.The people responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves. We are exploring all legal options to stop this abuse and any similar abuses in the future."

When asked about Bert's current whereabouts, however, the spokeswoman replied: "No comment."

Regardless of the explanation, Ignacio said he doesn't find his "Evil Bert" idea very funny right now.

"It's weirding me out," he said. "It's like reality imitating the Web, but it's taking something that I did so much further. I don't want to get into this one because it's too real."

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Education Secretary Rod Paige called the National Education Association a "terrorist organization" Monday as he argued that the country's largest teachers union often acts at odds with the wishes of rank-and-file teachers regarding school standards and accountability.


An administration official said the secretary was "clearly joking" but he should not have used the "terrorist" label in taking issue with the NEA -- which is not only the largest teachers union but also a major player in Democratic Party politics.




In a written statement, NEA President Reg Weaver said, "It is morally repugnant to equate those who teach America's children with terrorists. NEA is 2.7 million teachers and educators who are fighting for children and public education. Yet this is the kind of rhetoric we have come to expect from this administration whenever one challenges its world view."

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe called Paige's words "hate speech" and said "President Bush and the Republican Party should immediately renounce" it.

"Secretary Paige has demeaned America's teachers and denigrated the men and women in uniform who are fighting a deadly enemy," he said in a written statement.

"It is a revolting attack on America's teachers to suggest that it is an act of terrorism to disagree with President Bush and to be outspoken advocates for students and teachers."






Hey, Bison, better watch out for teachers also. The Bush administration also considers them terrorists.

.....Bush also cast the election as a referendum on his performance as commander in chief, asserting that Democrats can't be trusted to protect the country from terrorism. He ridiculed war opponents.

"They now agree that the world would be better off with the NEA out of power.
Bush said voters face "a choice between an America that leads the world with strength and confidence, or an America that is uncertain in the face of danger."

Bush declared anyone who disagrees with his policies a terrorist. "Either you're with me our against me."

Drug abusers. Terrorism supporters.

Liberals. Terrorists.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A suicide bomber blew up a vehicle Wednesday near a U.S. military convoy and a large group of Iraqi children in Baghdad, killing 27 people, Iraqi police and hospital officials said.

Iraqi police said most of the dead were children. The attack also left 20 people wounded.

The U.S. military said at least seven children and a U.S. soldier died in the attack. Three U.S. soldiers were wounded.

The soldiers were handing out treats to the children when the bomb went off, police said.

"The car bomber made a deliberate decision to attack one of our vehicles..."

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/07/13/iraq.main/index.html


Bush's attempt to make political hay with this propaganda of having soldiers give treats to children was nothing less than Bush giving these children death sentences.

Let's not forget it is this Bush administration that always blames innocent dead Iraqi children for being with terrorists every time the US military bombs some suspected terrorist hiding in a home where children are. The fact that Bush imperiled the lives of these Iraqi children by attracting them to military targets (US soldiers) is negligence bordering on criminal.

Last I read....seven Iraqi children and one U.S soldier died in that blast.

That's not the kind of odds the terrorists should be going for.

USA: It's easy to tell you haven't experienced a tour of duty in an area such as this. GI's and kids just seem to be naturally attracted to each other. I haven't been to the Gulf myself, but I can't see that kids in this part of the world would be any different. I've never seen any GI that had to have a direct order to share candy or food with a child, we had to have permission at times, but not an order. Your statment that Bush is responsable for the deaths of these children is way off base, even for a liberal hack.

If Bush wasn't rersponsible, then it must be the soldiers who were shielding themselves behind children.

USA thats a bit of sretch isn't it? So I suppose if you were there you'd tell the kids to #&%!$ off and go home. They'd fear and hate you...go home and grow up to be little bomb makers...The future of Iraq is in its children...
