“Also, as you watch the video, it is clear that these women are trying to help, but also seriously disturbed by the behavior of these two white kids. On the other hand, the class hierarchy is beyond them, the power dynamics well known to all the participants, and the women continue to try to please the white kids.”

ROFLMAO; oh Miss Essig, Dr. Hoffman just called . . . he wants his blue bicycle back.

Here’s ACORN slapping a tea party person across the face...

Here’s a video of ACORN trying to set up a photo op to make the tea party people look like members of militias... Janet Napolitano said to watch for people with “don’t tread on me” flags. So ACORN had some made up to distribute free. My guess is they might have had an “in” with CNN to make the tea party people look more extreme than they are - but didn’t get the picture. Here’s the link:

This “lady” is the very definition of a liberal racist (any oxymoron, I know).

She assumes the women helping the kids are stupid, just because they are black. She then assumes that the white kids are smarter just because they are white.

She repeats acorn’s press release word for word as a description of what it does, meaning she has no idea what it does.

She then shows her ignorance (a liberal anthropologist mind you) by having no idea how Alinski applies.

Ugly, stupid and ignorant is no way to go through life, girlie.

Laurie Essig needs no help looking stupid. In fact I’m not sure it could be covered up.
