Once again, Senator Hillary Rodham-Clinton has continued her plans to move toward the right in preparation for her alleged run for the presidency in 2008.
On March 9th, Senator Clinton (according to the AP) “called for greater government and parental scrutiny of media children watch and play, saying kids are suffering from a 'silent epidemic’ from media sex and violence.” She did not mention all the surveys that credit her husband with making oral sex an acceptable practice among teenagers.
Senator Clinton is claiming video games are harming today’s youth. “The senator took direct aim at one popular video game, Grand Theft Auto, and its crime spree role-playing. She says it's a game that encourages players to have sex with and then murder prostitutes.”
Also, she actually said, “[Over time media-driven desensitization teaches children] ‘that it's OK to dis people because they're women or they're a different color or they're from a different place.’
Did she really say, ‘Dis’?
She did not blame White Zombie or Judas Priest for teen suicide.
Along with Senators Brownback, Santorum and Lieberman she wants the government to spend a lot of taxpayers time and money to closely monitor the media impact “on the development of young children”. Will this be the last time that we see Bugs Bunny steal the locks off the Panama Canal?
The Senators do not say it but in their hearts they know that the Incredible Hulk influenced children to play with gamma rays; Hannibal Lector taught kids to eat all their fava beans and human brains at dinner (cause there are others starving in Africa); and the SpongeBob Squarepants movie for making David Hasselhoff popular again (run KITT run!).
