Agree. And do we really think that the outside Mom didn’t realize the inside Mom was with Harvard. I used to live in Boston. Anyone and EVERYONE connected to Harvard is insufferable about their connection to that institution.

Liberals always believe that blacks are inferior.

Sidewalk mom could defuse the situation by moving somewhere else but let's remember that apparently there is more to the confrontation than we see on the video. Did Harvard mom come out cussing and making demands or did she ask nicely? There is disagreement about whether she was swearing or not prior to the video.

Harvard mom has a condescending attitude throughout the video but what was her attitude prior to the video being recorded? If Harvard mom comes out making demands in a abrasive manner, I could see sidewalk mom or anyone else for that matter likely digging in their heels. I can also see Harvard mom doing an attitude 180 when the camera comes out.

I have a hard time believing that a mother of an infant would be difficult when another mother calmly and politely informs that she's trying to get her kids down for a nap. Something tells me that the initial request was not calm nor polite.

A lot of mothers are just insane about defending their children’s behavior these days. It’s entirely possible that if the Harvard mom had said to the sidewalk mom (*snicker*), “Excuse me, ma’am. My children are taking a nap right there ... *point to window*. Could you please help your daughter keep her volume down while she’s playing? Thank you,” the sidewalk mom would have gone ballistic.

With some luck, local columnist and Conservative Howie Carr gets his hands on this.

This is exactly the type of Massachusetts liberal Howie lives to excoriate.

It’s obvious that the problem here is that the toddler wasn’t up to something complex and global — then she’d a been on it.

Interesting though that the question of whether the screamer’s family lived in the subsidized condos isn’t answered in the article. Perhaps the humanitarian has a $50 million subsidy to study whether housing subsidies make residents louder and less considerate than elitist brahmins living in the “Harvard” units.

It was 3:30pm. I would have laughed at stupid Harvard mom.

I went to the screeching baby mom’s facebook page for more of the story. She has lived there for 15 years.

Good old Cambridge-—we all remember the librarian that turned down the Dr. Seuss books because Melania donated them.

They are truly insane.

"Liberals always believe that blacks are inferior."

They also believe Mexicans are inferior.

Some lib posted a meme on twitter with a pic of Donald Trump and says:

Here he is .. the most hated man in the f'g planet! The only person he will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs his grave!!!

If I run for congress, I want to solicit her. That $27.35 contribution would probably be enough to get me elected.

I think the lady who is sitting on her own property is not at fault. We do not know what happened before the video started. I believe she was being set up. I don’t care if she’s a liberal, conservative, or whatever.

There is that possibility. I could see either or both of these mothers being the problem here.

It seems apparent to me that sidewalk mom zinged Harvard mom with the question about who is watching her kids now. Even if Harvard mom is as pure as the driven snow in this situation, her smug, condescending attitude angered me and it wasn't even directed at me.

People outside the Boston, Cambridge, Brookline etc. world can not truly know how awful this breed of liberal really is.

I know you do!

I sure have. From work, dinner parties, interactions on the MBTA, interrupted conversations.

Horrible control freak, busybodies who know what’s best for everyone.

Anyone who wants to understand just how "tolerant" and "welcoming" the elite of Cambridge are should google "Commonwealth Day School" and "Cambridge".

Thank you for the tip. I did. I read this article.

Absolutely disgusting. I apologize if my rant is virtue-signaling but really?....these liberals' mask of compassion crashed to the ground over an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL that was to be 90% minority? Not a halfway house or a drug treatment clinic or any other NIMBY-provoking operation...a f****** elementary school...THAT'S what got their knickers in such a twist?

These tools are cut from the same cloth that hooded Cronkite, the Kennedys, Romney and Kerry and Koch in their opposition to Cape Wind. No wonder they quake in their shoes as Trump's minority support rises.

I sure do,but I take it with a grain of salt-—I have some kids and grandkids that are libs.

I like living here-—in spite of the nonsense.

I’m sometimes taking a nap at 3:30 ... but the screechers are my own kids.

>>>Why can’t people act like normal human beings anymore? All the woman had to do was apologize for her kid and move away from this woman’s apartment. Everybody wants to turn everything into a confrontation<<<

Me thinks you are talking about the wrong Woman.

So, if some Kids are playing in the cul de sac at 3:30 in the afternoon on a nice Summer Day, they should stop playing in front of ther own Houses because some Grumpy Liberal Woman can't shut a frigging Window?

(I guess the Liberal Woman left her Kids upstairs in the care of her Illegal Invader Nanny who lives in Section 8 Housing downwind from her Elite Neighborhood)

Admittedly, I didn’t take any of that into consideration, because when I read this statement, I made a judgment of where the professor was coming from regarding the other woman (maybe unfairly)...

She asked:
“Are you one of the affordable units? Or are you one of the Harvard units?”

Maybe I rushed to judgment, but it seemed to me like the questions were asked as a personal dig, such as “does the ‘affordable unit’ person have a right to be anywhere other than her ‘unit’” - kind of thing going on. And it’s possible there are such rules and she actually didn’t have a right to be there.

Then with the professor’s education and accomplishments being front and center, it seemed like elitist hypocrisy to me, and that’s the point I attempted to make - fair or unfair.
