A fun bit of right-wing insanity:
Barack Obama gave his education speech today. In that speech, he referenced education 10 times, but he used the word "I" 56 times. If the speech was about education, shouldn't "education" have been said more than "I"?
This is one of the newer desperation techniques used by just about all Conservative bloggers: Word-Counting of Obama's speeches. Having no original thought, this blogger was trying the same technique.
The reason the Conservative bloggers do this, is because they can't find anything in the actual context of the speech that's wrong. Being desperate, Conservatives have to simply count individual words and spin it to make it sound negative.
Here's an example of how this works:
Here's an education speech by George H.W. Bush. It's MUCH shorter than Obama's speech:
Number of times Bush said "I":52 31 times (updated with corrected number)
Number of times Bush said "Education":0 8 times (updated with corrected number)
You see, conservatives, context is what's important. Not word-counting.
Granted, Conservatives have to read things out of order and out of context. Otherwise, their bible would be revealed as bullshit even to their empty heads.
If Obama had said "Childrens do learn" during an education speech, THEN it would've been worth talking about. Fortunately, no president has ever been stupid enough to say that during an EDUCATION speech, right?
Oops! It looks like ONE has.
