The Michigan Education Association pulled down a photo on their Facebook page of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder that had demonic symbols superimposed on Snyder’s forehead, referred to him as “Satan” and had Nazi swastikas and blood spills on the GOP elephant symbol.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy alerted the MEA Tuesday morning of the photo on their page and it was shortly thereafter taken down. The photo was posted on March 11.
MEA spokesman Doug Pratt said they investigated the post and found it was an MEA Facebook “fan” who had no affiliation with the teachers’ union.
“We do monitor our page — unfortunately, we missed this one (items move down the Facebook feed pretty quickly, so if we miss it, it can get buried fast),” Pratt said in an email. “We've deleted the item. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.”
I’m only surprised they didn’t feature it on their homepage ;-)
These people are like children,malignant-evil children.
Oh, gee. The Devil. Vampires. Blood. Swastikas.
Liberals. When I went down to Washington DC a few weekends to help counter-protest against Code Pink, it amazes me how completely unoriginal these people are. I don’t think they could manufacture an original thought if their lives depended on it.
They are still chanting “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah!”
Cretins, all.
Eventually, they will go too far and it will be open season on them, AND their enablers. (Skin-head, ninja dressed, 'roid pumped JBTs might consider this...)
Evil calling others evil - - it’s how evil works.
Of course they’re not original. Study what the big socialist movements have done and repeat.
Communist punks seem to project their own fascism on others and do a very good job of it.
IMHO
“Cretins all.”
Nah. Hardcore scu&bags is more like it. (Please forgive the profanity.)

I just had the opportunity to read Whittaker Chambers’ book “Witness” about five years ago for the first time, and what I found illuminating, alarming and discouraging was the absolute destructive uniformity of their treatment of those they disagree with.
The tactics they used on Whittaker Chambers in 1948 are the same tactics used today on Teapartiers, Sarah Palin, George Bush, anyone who disagrees with anthropogenic global warming and so on.
That book changed my political outlook like no other.
This stuff is hurting democrats in Michigan. My non union democrat uncle in Ann Arbor voted for Snyder and says he doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s getting from the left.
It isn’t just IYHO only...you are more gentelmanly in your statement than I could bring myself to be.
As a conservative, I keep wondering when people in general will see liberalism for what it is (embodied by what we see out there...)
But I am pessimistic. I wonder how many there are like your uncle.
My uncle is a businessman and personally knows Rick Snyder. Says Snyder is pragmatic first and foremost. My uncle is also a pragmatist and says ideology can only carry a man so far.
Snyder certainly wasn’t my choice but I have been pleasantly surprised for the most part.
Thanks for the tip. I’ve yet to read Witness. The Black book of Communism and Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago turned my stomach several times over.
The devout entitlement mentality is the starting point for aggressive socialism. The Second Amendment is the only cure.
It seems there are no effective words in the English language to describe these people. Whichever word is chosen, it never seems to be effective, not even in conjuction with other words that are also not adequate.
(Scu&bags is a good word but its use is an insult to scu&bags.)
IMHO
Almost poetic.
“Witness” is a revelation.
All of the books most politically influential in my life were books by witnesses to history - Chambers, Orwell, Kravchenko, Solzhenitsyn, even Ciano.
I have a first edition of Chambers. ;^)
When I read “Witness” for the first time, it was a political book.
When I read it the second time, it became clear that it was a book about a man’s search for God.
Communism and the West were simply props in the larger picture, it seemed. It is a profound book to me in a lot of ways...Madame Dufarge is correct when she termed it poetic. There are so many turns of phrase in it that I vowed it would be the first E-book I purchased, when the technology to be able to electronically mark up books became widely available and usable.
What I plan to do is listen to the unabridged audiobook again, and when I hear something, I will open the ebook, search for the text and highlight and annotate it.
I have read the Gulag Archipelago three times. It should be required reading for all people, not just US citizens.
