UPDATE! Right-wing lies exposed right here folks - the busing never happened
I e-mailed our counterparts in World Can’t Wait Los Angeles to track down the truth about the alleged busing of 800 students from ten LA high schools to November 2nd WCW rallies. If ten schools bused 800 people you think they would know about it right? They sent me this:
Hi Will,
Surprise! Another lie from the right wingers. That rumor surfaced here, too, from the cops who then wanted to say that WCW was contributing to the truancy of minors. Many students did hop public buses and some bus drivers let them on for free, in support of the protest.
On to the State of the Union!

Katharine DeBRecht a freelance journalist and an active member of the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women and the author of “Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed” apparently just made the whole story up.
Her book is a children’s story where two kids start a lemonade stand and the evil liberals that control the world make them sell broccoli for some reason. Be on the lookout for her upcoming titles:
Help! Mom! Hollywood is in My Hamper!, Help! Mom! There Are Lawyers in My Lunchbox!, and Help! Mom! The Ninth Circuit Nabbed the Nativity!
Here are some conservative bloggers who are really pissed off about the busing that never happened.
Will tax payers in Los Angeles accept this use of their tax dollars? If so, maybe the man they dislike should cut off Federal funding to their area. Then they will really have something to protest about
! And they can do for themselves without having to deal with money associated with the man they dislike
Honestly this is just terribly sad, that adults would prompt children to take part in something like this! When they could have been learning something. Especially given the conditions in their area. They need all the education they can get!

I was reading Blogs for Bush and I came across this post about a school busing kids to a anti-Bush rally. It is one thing that education has a liberal bias but when the line is crossed and kids are illegally being taken to a political rally on the tax payer’s dime then something has to be done. It is outrageous and people should stand up and demand the head of someone in the LA school system. An example must be set before there is an extra period in the school day devoted to stuffing envelopes for the DNC.
electricdesert.com this one was pretty funny:
They better not use my kids like that!!
Dammit! They refuse to be held responsible for teaching any student reading, writing or arithmetic, but they can march ‘em off to indoctrination camps
Conservatives sure do hate busing

They speak of students needing to be in their classes, being taught math(algebra was devised by the ARABS; is that why they hate them so much? Have they not gotten over that yet?, science(creationism) is that even a science? I thought science was something that had tobe proven (what does NASA think of this?), History, My favorite. Funny isn’t, how quick they forget their leader is consistently cutting funding for the academic programs. Hmmm… Do these Neo(NAZI)-Cons have any idea at all what comes out of they are saying half the time atleast? If they had for one moment stopped and picked up a book; they would see a dreadful comparison between the Bush Administration and Hitler in 1933, Reichstag and WTC a.k.a (911). There is enough material out there to see the how this could have been planned by the administration, but for the sake of what can be proven and can not this shall take a small detour. The first thing Hitler did was set restrictions on peoples rights, freedom of speech, rights to privacy, creation of Nation ID cards, oh and lets not forget about the blind Frenzy of Nationalism “Your either with us or with the Terrorist”, - George W. Bush. The Christian Right of now and the Christian Right of then; they just swapped Jews for Muslims. (NO HATE CRIMES THERE!). Fact! G.W. Bush’s grandfather supported, funded, and profited off Hitler and the Nazis. There are enough facts out there, no diggin necessary to know that Bush has lied about WMDs; by the way… what happened to Osama? Did you know that 7 of the 19 Hi-jackers are still alive; they knew how to parachute too. Soon all passports will have a RFID chip inserted. The Gov’t tells you they are safe, but hackers still say they can access your personal information. Bio-chips are just around the corner; trying to sneak those in the human-body by selling you on computerized Medical records; funny how they cann’t computerize the medical records with out inserting a bio-chip. Last, but certainly not least New National IDs, ratification of driver lincenses in 2008. Some fun things to go and look up; have fun, stay ontop of your game. There is no sooner TIME to ACT then NOW!

Hey this is Will,
I feel your outrage, dude. However I feel we should stay away from Bush-Hitler comparisons. They don’t go over well with the public, I remember a Daily Show where John Stewart was talking about this.
What happens when people say Bush=Hitler is the first thing the right-winger your argiung with says is when did Bush kill six million jews and then the moderate or undecided people we’re trying to reach say “Hey this conservative is rigt, these anti-Bush people are crazy - no one is as evil as Hitler.”
So I don’t agree with making the Hitler comparison because it is a win for the other side.
What Bush is doing is wrong on it’s own without having anything to do with Hitler.
It’s not enough to be right, we have to be smart about things.
As far as the ID cards and increasing big brother stuff I think we have to accept the march of technology and work to make sure WE control the technology and not the other way around. There is a great group working to do just that called The Electronic Freedom Foundation Check them out.

Blogs For Bush is running a press release from World Ahead Publishing that mentions the following:

Point made and will refrain, from the comparisons. Just seemed fitting when talking about education. Will be a bit more constructive next time.
