Move over, Cookie Monster. And pipe down, Oscar the Grouch.

I miss when I was a kid and the Muppets were not a pure, open marketing arm of the DNC. Back then the biggest concern was what the letter of the day was or if Cookie Monster got enough cookies. Now Muppets are all starving, have AIDs and worried about Global Warming.

Starting in 1969 Sesame Street aired with white AND black people ... together ... on screen at the same time as peers!!!
It's ALWAYS been political - but you didn't notice as a kid because you didn't have any politics of your own yet. But have you been damaged by the Sesame Street you watched?

Well I do have a weakness for cookies. Does that count?

Red, sorry to tell you the 'liberal' agenda was always one of the Seasme Street and the Muppets.
* Started in the 60s where all races and sexs intermixed and got along. Clearly a strong civil and woman's rights message that the Republicans didn't support.
* The community supported and shared with each other known or not. Clearly a strong 'It takes a village to raise a child' message. Again not a Republican stance.
* All that singing and dancing -- Republicans hate the arts
* Bert and Ernie -- well Republicans hate gay people even if they defend our nation so.

Funny, it was the GOP that pushed civil right bills into law:
http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/12/13/194350.shtml I can't remember one single GOP governor standing in a school doorway barring black children from entering. Could you help me out on that one and list the GOP Governors who did such a wicked thing? Thanks, my childhood memories aren't the best any more.

True, the GOP does believe it takes a strong family to raise a child and not a commune or government's role to do so.

faethor loves to push the bullshit pop culture revision history which wipes out the real facts. When the dems find themselves on the wrong side of history, they use pop culture to re-write the history books.

They hate paying for art like the "Piss Christ" and do not consider it art. If you consider it art, then would you consider a "Piss Mohammad" art as that should be funded and displayed by tax dollars? That is the real dislike is paying for "art", which I do not see authorized in the US Constitution. The US does not have the money for such things, we are too busy bank rolling failed green companies because the owners are also donors to the Democrat Party which I can't seem to find authorization of doing that either in the US Constitution.

Sorry but your history is being viewed through pop culture again.

You are making this up, the time frame we are talking about is before Hillary Clinton's book. You act like Republican's don't raise their children and help others raise theirs when needed? That's funny because I'd be willing to bet prison populations are a vast majority of the (D) voting block. (Here's a hint, Republicans don't like government taking over a parents responsibility by force where Dems are too lazy/stoned and want Government to do the job for them;)).

* Bert and Ernie -- well Republicans hate gay people even if they defend our nation so.

There you go again! Bert and Ernie along with Sesame Street clearly lived by Don't Ask & Don't Tell.

I expect more of it if Cane gets the GOP nomination. It will be a nightmare for the Democrats, he is a grandson of slaves and grew up in segregation:
that went from rags to riches. Vs Obama who grew up in Hawaii (private prep school) and Indonesia (think it was a private school as well) with no roots in American black society. Worse yet for the Democrats, Cain's 9-9-9 plan calls for helping economically destroyed communities like black communities that have 16% unemployment and 40% teen unemployment.

Funny that the article cites Dems as only responding to the nation. I think the same could be said of Lincoln. He had little choice but to respond to the nation or lose his support. The 60s is a time that's written as the Dems came around, finally, and did the right thing. It was at that time when the southern Dems and their racist ways declined in power. In return the Republicans ran on the 'Southern Strategy' exploting anti-black sentiment amongst the voters. While I might give too much credit to the Dems you certainly fail to remember these significant changes in the parties in the late 60s and early 70s.

IMO Dems are one stepbetter. Not only do they promote the strong family (Dems have longer lasting marriages and a lower divorce rate.) they realize that people live in a society. What and how that society works is how to establish justice, insures domestic tranquility, provides for defense, and promote the general welfare in order to ensure liberty. Without a postive constructive society that stuff CANNOT exist.

If you consider it art, then would you consider a "Piss Mohammad" art as that should be funded and displayed by tax dollars?

Again you fail to miss the big picture. If we're to provide jobs we must grow industry and innovation. Like it or not Gov funding is one way to do this. The growth under Clinton was not only due to the Prez it was due to the coming of age of the Internet. Green Energy is one emerging sector. So while Solyndra may be a failure you need to realize their money was a fairly small % of the program. The other 90+% is doing fine...

And really imagine what this country would be if 90% of private startups didn't fail. Unforunately, private startups track record is MUCH worse. But, really this is simply posturing for spending you don't believe in GW. So why would you want your neighbor to have a job that improves the condition of something you don't believe exists.

Or handing out favours to GOP pals like the oil and coal companies and, of course, everyone's friend, the arms manufacturers.

I'd love to see the GOP demand an end to this kind of corruption across the board but you won't see it because it would eat into their game too. Instead you see partisan sniping about individual cases - no-one wants to rock so hard they tip over the whole gravy boat.
 
I won't say anything about democrats or republicans, but the Public Broadcasting Service tv show Sesame Street was always political. It was after all Sesame Street, not Sesame Mansion or Sesame Suburb. It was a show aimed at mostly urban kids, the fact that it was popular outside that target market was a bonus. Basically, Fluffy got it right.

Also for the record, there is nothing about Bert and Ernie that makes me think they were gay. If they're gay, let them come out on their own terms. Seriously though, the net effect of pushing this urban legend is that idiotic parents will believe it and actually force their kids to NOT watch Sesame Street. And that's happening, from the wiki:
In a 1994 effort to get the characters banned, Rev. Joseph Chambers stated on his radio show: "Bert and Ernie are two grown men sharing a house and a bedroom. They share clothes, eat and cook together and have blatantly effeminate characteristics. In one show, Bert teaches Ernie how to sew. In another, they tend plants together. If this isn't meant to represent a homosexual union, I can't imagine what it's supposed to represent."

What's wrong with making stew? What's wrong with gardening? I do both of those things and I'm very much not gay. What an idiot!

That's why they keep them off the voter rolls in Florida and Texas. It's also why they spend so much time throwing Dem voters in jail in those places. It's a good way to skew the vote.

Well, it would offend many Muslims so I don't see a problem with that (in exactly the way that Piss Christ offends some Christians). If a little whizz on your hero gives you conniptions then you need to get that broom stick out of your arse.

I think it's money better spent than on "bomb the brown women and children".
