On Sunday, Sarah Palin called out the ludicrous and creepy MSNBC spot by Melissa Harris-Perry. You see, Ms. Harris-Perry believes all your children belong to us.
Children are community property!
Palin called it “unflippingbelievable” and many others agreed. Collectivism? No thank you.
.@MHarrisPerry : Get real. When the govt “owns” kids REALLY bad things happen. http://t.co/GcGHUGBLbK

Leave our children alone.
Ms. Harris-Perry apparently not only believes that your children aren’t your own, but neither are your thoughts. If you think independently and disagree with her, that must be persecution!
@MHPshow @chrislhayes @MHarrisPerry I don't think it's "hateful" to say that ad was poorly worded.

No, for real. She is claiming persecution. With bible verse.
Matthew 5:44.

So, MHP thinks conservatives appalled at her advocacy of a collectivist child-rearing paradigm are persecuting her?! http://t.co/0W5jQjrMyL

Christians in China are persecuted. Melissa Harris Perry is getting called out for saying something absurd.

Bingo. Actor Adam Baldwin responds to Ms. Harris-Perry.

And, that’s right. She doubled-down on her creepy collectivism. “Lean Forward”? More like “Lean Creepy” into collectivism. Again.
Allow me to double down. Kids are our collective responsibility. http://t.co/PxzjORME2u

And if you are *still* tweeting me about the Lean Forward ad on public education, you can read my response here. http://t.co/PxzjORME2u

Waah! Her doubling-down is beyond pitiful:
Stop tweeting her! Leave Melissa alooooone.
Twitter users rightly give her the business and try to provide some Teachable Moments. It takes a village? Well, it does take a village to school the village idiot.
Sure. Means your doubly wrong. RT @MHarrisPerry: Allow me to double down. Kids are our collective responsibility. http://t.co/TUyJMNYjwa

@MHarrisPerry I'm going to have 12 just so I can make you take them all to a diner and enjoy the experience of collectively raising them.

Actor Nick Searcy weighs in with his usual awesome.
.@JeffShowalter like @mharrisperry , when advocating Marxism, use the word "pray." Makes people think U wont replace God with Gov't.
— Yes, Nick $earcy! (@yesnicksearcy) April 9, 2013
It's OK @halfadam you're better off. @mharrisperry Picked my son up from school yesterday and let him spend all his lunch money on Slurpees.
— Yes, Nick $earcy! (@yesnicksearcy) April 9, 2013
The lessons continue.
The best way to benefit society (or #TheCollective) is to let parents instill that sense of responsibility. IT'S NOT YOUR JOB @MHarrisPerry.
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) April 9, 2013
The ppl influencing the lives of children are answering to their values @Mharrisperry. Something you learn from parents. Not a collective.
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) April 9, 2013
@MHarrisPerry What you want for other people’s children doesn’t change the fact that they aren’t yours. That isn’t hateful, it’s factual.
— The Wren (@WWren) April 9, 2013
@BenHowe Intact families & good parents to their children = decentralized power, anathema to @mharrisperry & her Lefty pals.

.@tonykatz @mharrisperry let me get this straight. A woman's body is hers but my kids are not mine.
— Hair (@SHannitysHair) April 9, 2013
I guess if kids now belong to the collective, we can tell the 'my body, my choice!!1!' morons to pound sand. Right, @MHarrisPerry? #tcot #p2
