Mitt Romney decides to take on Barack Obama by misunderstanding his point and then getting his panties in a twist.

For the second day in a row, Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney blasted Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for believing "age-appropriate" sex education should begin as early as kindergarten.

Obama, who has family members and friends who suffered sexual abuse at early ages, believes young children should know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching. The legislation he supported in the Illinois Senate would have revised the state's law so that sex education would begin in kindergarten and run through high school, rather than running strictly from grade six through 12.

After Obama reaffirmed his belief Tuesday that age-appropriate sex education should begin as early as kindergarten, Romney saw his opportunity to pounce.

"How much sex education is age appropriate for a 5-year-old?" Romney asked Wednesday at a Colorado campaign stop. "In my view, zero is the right amount. Instead of teaching about sex education in kindergarten to 5-year-olds let's clean up the ocean of filth, the cesspool in which our children are swimming."

My first response to this is that Romney is purposefully misrepresenting Obama's statement so that he can get those southern hillbillies all juiced up to start making outlandish claims about the Democrats wanting to teach their young uns about that "sekchul intercurse".

But of course Obama said nothing of the kind. What he said was that children as young as kindergarten should be taught "appropriate" sex education.

Well you know what? I work with kindergartners during the school year. And they have questions. They want to know how boys and girls are different. They want to know if boys can be mommies. The girls want to know when they will get breasts. And of course they want to know where babies come from. All of these questions are concerning their sexual identity and therefore would be considered "sex ed". But they are not about sex. Nobody is going to teach five year olds about condom use, abortion, or complications during pregnancy.

As a matter of fact, we usually have the children ask their mommies about the "where babies come from" question because we are sensitive to the fact that parents differ on how much information a child should have and when.

But we do teach children about the "good touch vs bad touch" subject because we live in a world that makes that information necessary. And that was clearly all that Barack Obama was suggesting.

So fuck you Mitt "We should double the size of Gitmo" Romney! You are an asshole, and if you took sex education you would know what part of the body that is.
