I get some strange emails from time to time but this is one of the most outrageous. I had a piece posted on www.FoxNews.com's Commentary - http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/09/03/peggy-venable-obama-speech-school-children/
It seems Dr. Kennedy will attack anyone who questions what the President was going to say to our schoolchildren. Fortunately, Obama's speech was posted before it was delivered, he read the teleprompter and he didn't use the speech to promote his health care reform. Obama had just completed his plea to churches to help him pass his health care agenda. I guess he also recruited some J. Wright-type attack dogs. Holy, holy, holy!

Ms. Venable:
The venal nature of your blatant political comments about the president of the United States speaking to American students is an exercise that doesn’t even qualify as “spin.” It is demagoguery at its absolute corrupt worst. It is dishonest and disgraceful for an educated and sophisticated person to make such suggestions. This is still the United States and we will not be intimidated by fear-mongering comments made by people like you. I realize that outrageous, attack-dog statements are necessary to bring in the money, but shouldn’t you at least consider a more honest profession. Fear and hatred are being disseminated around our country and there’s nothing remotely Christian or patriotic about it. Perhaps you have heard the sermon from the Baptist in Arizona: “Why I Hate Barack Obama.” This pastor told his congregation that he wanted Obama to melt like a snail. He said that prayed for Obama to get brain cancer and die. I mention this because you and that pastor are two peas in a pod. Why not be a little more civil? Why not respect the office of the president of the United States? We suffered through the awful 8 years of the Bush administration without scaring our children with hate rhetoric. Let me suggest that you take a couple of course in losing graciously. President Obama is going to be your president for 7 and one half more years. Learning how to treat him with respect would be a good first step for you.
Almost Sincerely, Rodney Wallace Kennedy, Ph.D., Th.D.
