OMG. It seems a food fight has broken out between Rachel Sklar and Matt Lewis and the icky goo is everywhere…

Please stand while you read the rest of this post. (Kissing your bicep is optional.)

And oh, get use to the image above. It will soon begin appearing on billboards and as murals on buildings everywhere…

I Pledge To Respond To Matt Lewis by Rachel Sklar 6:38 pm, September 5th, 2009:

My pal and Bloggingheads buddy Matt Lewis has taken issue with my post today about how crazy this whole uproar about President Barack Obama’s address to schoolchildren is (”President Obama Is Coming For Your Children“). Well, he sorta thinks President Obama is coming for your children — why isn’t the question for these kids, “What can you do to help America?” not “What can you do to help the President?” He doesn’t like all the Obama-based propaganda being thrown at schoolkids, and he thinks my suggestion that part of the vociferous response against All Things Obama is coded racism is ridonk.

Matt drew my attention to a video about Obama that I had forgotten about: the “I Pledge” video put together by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore for Inauguration, featuring celebs like Cameron Diaz, Jason Bateman, Eva Mendes, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, will.i.am, Jenna Elfman, Alyssa Milano, Gina Gershon, Diddy, Nicole Richie, Kevin Connolly, Lucy Liu, Molly Sims, a weirdly grown-up Dakota Fanning and others. Apparently some school in Utah showed the video to students, which a local conservative leader called “radical, leftist propaganda.” I think that might be a bit much but there is no doubt that a few of the personal “pledges” made by some participants dip into controversy somewhat.

Anyhow – you can read my initial post here and his response here. The response below was blurted out into the Townhall comments section, but it limits you to 2,000 character replies and I CLEARLY had more to say. Then Townhall spammed me utterly, leaving me smeary and covered in goo. Ew. But, it was that bad and I’m still dealing with it, so you can deal.

You simply must read the rest. Find it here: http://www.mediaite.com/online/i-pledge-to-respond-to-matt-lewis/
