Adam Peck, Think Progress, joins Thom Hartmann. You might remember back in 2004 - Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry was dogged by these outrageous and misleading ads. Those were funded by the group Swift Boat Veteran's for Truth - a right-wing organization that attempted to spin John Kerry's military service against him. The ads were so effective they cost Kerry that election - and introduced a new word in our American political lexicon - "swiftboating" - meaning to launch unfair or untrue political attacks. And now - as we're heading into the 2012 election - one group is trying to swiftboat President Obama with this new ad - trying to spin President Obama's killing of Osama Bin Laden against him. The group behind that ad is calling itself "Veterans For a Strong America." So what more do we need to know about this group - as it begins its ad assault on the President?

Richard Fowler, Democratic Strategist & Vince Coglianese, Daily Caller join Thom Hartmann. As austerity gets the boot in Europe - Republicans in the United States double-down on their own version of it. So who are Republicans REALLY trying to protect this time around as they shred the social safety net in America? And Mitt Romney caved into the religious far-right in his Party - parting ways with his openly-gay campaign spokesman. And now that same religious far-right is opening up a new line of attack against Romney. We'll talk about this new attack later with our political panel

Thom discusses the role of Conservative media in American politics with Conversations with Great Minds guest, David Frum. Tonight's "Rumble" panel debates the latest job numbers, negative political ads, Republican moderates not welcomed by the GOP and arming the RNC against OWS this summer in Florida. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom compares the 1931 Lemon Grove Incident to today's radical anti-immigration laws increasing Xenophobia across the country.

Back in 1930 - the all-white school board of Lemon Grove, California decided they didn't want children of Mexican descent sitting next to their white children in class. So - the school board built a separate school - and then turned away the Mexican-American students from their original school and directed them to their new school - which was basically a big barn-house. Within the local community - it became known as la caballeriza - or "the stable." But rather than just accepting the new segregated school - the parents protested. They sought help from the Mexican consul in San Diego - eventually got legal representation - and won a court case against the Lemon Grove school board - putting an end to the barnyard education plans. This happened more than 80 years ago - but today - history is repeating itself. Thanks to the radical anti-immigration law recently passed in Alabama - Hispanic children are afraid to go to school. That's because the law requires Alabama school officials to check the immigration status of children in public schools. 99% of children in Alabama's K through 12 public education system are American citizens. But those who don't look like citizens - mainly because their skin isn't as white - are subject to prying questions and unnecessary paperwork to prove their citizenship. And while most were born here and are citizens, in some cases their parents are not, and they're terrified their parents will be identified and deported and they'll end up orphans ...
