And the MSM has the gall to slime the Tea Party as radical extremists.
Projection much, Mr. Union Man?
And the MSM has the gall to slime the Tea Party as radical extremists.
Sigh. Angry fat black woman rant.
Sow the wind, lardcore activists. Sow the wind.
Just let a normal person say something like that and he’s immediately condemned.
Karen Lewis is probably raking in 500K a year for doing nothing more than acting like an azzhat. She’s rich.
Did she talk about eating them, too?
Karen Lewis isn't one of the "starving" that's for damn sure!
“She then used schools without air conditioning as an example of “lethal working conditions.”
A far more accurate example of “lethal working conditions” is having a white teacher in most black classes in most Chicago schools.

:: Do not think for a minute that the wealthy are ever going to allow you to legislate their riches away from them. ::
So, who are these “wealthy” that you speak of Ms. “Teachers” Union President. Would they be the ones that employ you; that pay your wages for a days work? Whoa re thse folks? Aren’t they the TAX PAYERS? Even the single mom with 4 kids with a part-time job pays taxes. IS she who you speak of?
:: They think nothing of putting our people in harm’s way. ::
So, just how dangerous is it in your classroom and, since it may be lethal, why do you continue to expose the children of tax payers to such danger?
Karen, you are ignorant and self-indulgent.
Karen Lewis, Street Fighter
Her dreadlocked hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and her nails were painted green with silver sparkles (she changes the color often). The room was littered with souvenirs: A glass block etched with the words “Bitch Brick” rested on her desk, and a pair of blue boxing gloves hung on the wall, a gift from a friend after Lewis told the Chicago Tribune she was going to buy some following the announcement of the mayor’s education team.
A Halloween mask of Rahm Emanuel’s face was tacked onto a shelf in front of Lewis’s desk, staring straight at her and leaving little doubt that she considers the mayor her chief opponent. Yet Lewis marveled that she and Emanuel don’t like each other more. “I don’t understand it,” she said, shaking her head. “We should be best friends. We have way more in common than we don’t.”
Shortly before he took office in May 2011, Emanuel invited Lewis to a dance performance and dinner at Henri, the upscale French restaurant across from Millennium Park. She said they had the same tastes—they both drank malbec and ordered the lamb—and talked about their shared love of ballet. They are also both Jewish. Raised Lutheran, Lewis converted in the early 1990s when she was “looking for something spiritual” and says she was drawn by the “idea that you could question God.”
The evening was meant to establish a working relationship. But the conversation took a turn when, according to Lewis, Emanuel said that 25 percent of students in CPS—or nearly 100,000 kids at the district’s current enrollment—were “never going to make it and that he wasn’t going to throw money at the problem.” The comment came to light a year later when Lewis talked about it in an on-camera interview with local NBC reporter Mary Ann Ahern; Emanuel denied it, calling the story “totally false.” The episode likely damaged whatever trust they had established.

The real goal of the radical left...
“… Do not think for a minute that the wealthy are ever going to allow you to legislate their riches away from them.”
What makes her think she has that right?!
What a commie idiot.
She said “But the key is they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing of putting our people in harm’s way. They think nothing of lethal working conditions.”
Chicago classrooms are “lethal working conditions”? Now why would that be? Would it be because the little darlings were raised in two-parent, God-fearing homes who value Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?
Almost every Commie that has even a tangential relationship to the current administration was somehow involved with the Chicago schools. Valerie Jarrett’s 84 year old mother still agitates through the CPS system. They’ve been cranking out Commies for years.
They don't even work 9 months a year. I added up all the days the kids were actually in school, and it averaged 6 months.
They only work HALF of what those who are paying them have to work.
So, because teachers only work half a year, they should only be paid half their wages. That's all the taxpayers would get if they only worked half a year.
Why not keep things fair, just as they ask? Cut their pseudo-welfare checks in half.
Anyone know what her yearly salary and perqs are?
Thanks to libtard government interventionism, pressure-group warfare is becoming more and more serious. When this is combined with the Marxist doctrine of class interest,in such conditions, growing conflict and hostility develop among the various groups, culminating in violent clashes and, ultimately, in demands for political separation.
Lewis is an ignorant Marxist pig.
Conservatives are fools for letting themselves be called Reds. It'll confuse a generation in the same way we let liberals steal liberty.
We also better start reading up on the Robber Barons.
Conservatives should rail against the political entrepreneurs who use government to hobble real entrepreneurs. That's how to win this war and it is a war.
