Freedom Of Speech HAS to Include Death Threats, Right?

By now you have probably seen the video of school kids singing the praises of Barack Obama. Some have interpreted is as a creepy indoctrination of 5-year-olds that will result in them mindlessly voting for Obama in 2012; others believe it's meant to celebrate the election of our first African-American president. In any event, what does one make of this?

As critics of the video claimed it amounted to "indoctrination," the tension at B. Bernice Young Elementary School escalated to such a degree Thursday that the school was placed temporarily on lockdown after its principal received death threats over a YouTube video that showed nearly 20 children being taught songs lauding the president, though back-to-school night events continuing as planned Thursday night at the school.
A strongly worded letter to the principal would certainly be appropriate. But really, are the death threats necessary all the time? Can't we just find a school who can be talked into singing a song trashing Obama, and leave it at that? Yeah! That's it! RNC, get to work... upload a whole bunch of videos of kindergartners singing songs about how Obama is a socialist who is burdening future generations with debt because of problems that he created, and your numbers will go through the roof!

And you can focus on killing abortion doctors and census takers instead.
