We'd Like To Teach The World To Sing — And Allen West To Shut Up

By Zamboni

Here's another one of those gentle, feel-good Super Bowl commercials that aired on Sunday — and which the right wing is hating on big time. (We cats thank an intrepid reader for reminding us that this kerfuffle was in the midst of — well, kerfuffling.)

Like so much of their raving, the fact that conservatives are going after this ad makes no sense. Unless Allen West and Todd Starnes (who?) are members of the ethnic group saluted in another recent, great spot, they and their families also Came Here From Somewhere Else. (Just like us cats — whose grandkitties, although they were native English speakers, lived and worked in the US but never became citizens.)

But ohhhh, we get it: It's the language thing that's bugging them! We urge these right-wing mental cases to lighten up, since so many of them, um, don't speak English so good, either.
