School Children Chant 'Assassinate Obama'

I guess they didn't drink their Kool-Aid today.

KIDK TV in Idaho is reporting that a busload of grammar school children adopted a chilling mantra aboard their school bus: Assassinate Obama. And Kate.

Whoolery and his wife couldn't believe it when their second and third graders got off the bus last week and told them what other students were saying.

"They just hadn't heard anything like this before," said Whoolery. "They were chanting on the bus, 'Assassinate Obama. Assassinate Obama.' Then adding in a name sometimes of a classmate on the bus, 'Assassinate Obama and Kate.'"

Authorities could not confirm rumors that they have seized a sizable cache of spitballs from the youngsters.

The "Concerned Parent" (they never interview "Parent Who Doesn't Give a Crap") is right to wonder where these kids picked up such a phrase. Maybe they had too hard a time with "Redistribution of Wealth!"

At its heart, of course, this is a sad story. It's very likely that one of these kids heard it from a parent, and that parent probably felt a perverted twinge of pride at the news. Here's hoping that kid learns better over the next 8 years.

Here's the full report from KIDK:
