Well, it turns out that the text of Obama's speech is hardly controversial. There are no attempts at indoctrination and Obama isn't trying to get them to join his "youth army." So those on the right must feel pretty foolish? Well, not exactly. Here are some of the reactions of the wingers from Free Republic.
I think they are setting us up. He is going to give a non-political speech that is inspiring. We are going to then be portrayed by his stenographers in the media as paranoid. They are going to then use the occasion to bury the Van Jones story (not that they ever really covered it)and promote socialized medicine because this and the birther movement prove we are all nuts and not to be trusted. I’m going to spend days wretching while the media play up this speech as one for the ages and thousands of schools change their name in his honor.
Umm... you're already doing a great job of painting yourselves as paranoid. No need for the media to help with that.
No, Obama, you won't influence anyone in this household. we aren't dazzled by a pathoclicigaic, naricsiistic LIAR that is good for nothing.
You will NOT take over the role of a parent, no matter how hard you try to butter up kids. YOU, Obama are everything I would NOT want ANY kid to be. You are confused and EVIL.
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!!! (roll eyes)
Word leaked out about HOW kids were supposed to HELP Obama and those lesson plans to be inserted into the classroom. He did clean up his act but the problem is his life is a LIE. He's been a FAILURE in everything has has done as President. He's a loser from a dysfunctional family and it shows badly. Look at what he dwells on - his dysfunctional childhood.
Failure in everything he's done as president? Then why are you so angry if he can't accomplish any of his "liberal" agenda? BHO should be pretty harmless if that was the case.
I honestly doubt this is the original “message” he intended to give. He more-than-likely sanitized the speech to make the conservatives appear wrong in their objection to his attempt to influence school children. He is a con artist to max.
Sigh....
These response just make me want to slap someone. Once again, I predicted that these would be the sort of responses the right would come up with.
If anyone else has come across some really egregious wingnut responses, feel free to post them in the comments section. Should be good fun for all.

UPDATE: From the comments - an astute observation by on the cusp:
They actually think they forced him to clean up the speech.
They imagined a speech, then congratulated themselves for keeping the imaginary speech from being delivered.
How is it possible to have a political discussion with these people?????
