Nothing like trotting out * the children * in an attempt to get what you want.

Liberal citizens in MA always pull a page from the Democrat Handbook.

I am STUNNED to see the Workmen's Circle engaged in using children for agitprop.

I grew up around folks who belonged to the Circle, and saw zero outreach of this kind.

They really are capital C Commies.

"Teach them what to think and not how to think" Well, you see, you don't have to have much book l'arnin if you do that and you won't be embarrassed because the little buggers will never challenge your teachings. If you haven't looked at a lot of education programs lately, you haven't seen all those intensive classes on cutting construction paper, making dioramas and noncompetitive sports programs. Too many of our future educators were washing out when they were teaching kids how to think. Do I really need a ?

What they aren’t telling you is that people look at the Unions as controlled by the Italian Mafia. The truth is that they are actually controlled by the Jewish Mafia. The Italian Mafia just do their bidding for them.

WHEN these “kids” start paying TAXES and EARNING money.....MAYBE then I’ll listen.

[gaijin]

This story is....spooky and creepy. Like the McMartin kindergarten case, in which kids questioned for DAYS finally broke down totally and started saying crazy stuff --that they'd been made to tear the wings off birds, practicing witchcraft, etc.

With enough brainwashing, you can get a kid to say ANYTHING.

Isn't that special.

A cross section of the people that elected Romney.

I’ll pass on anything they would vote for.

[JSDude1]

Is MASSACHUSETTS Colletively Insane??..

[JSDude1]

Apparently the answer to that question: NO!? Literally!

[DoughtyOne]

You were right on target, and I understood exactly where you were coming from. Good post.

[RC2]

Nope. When I look at Kennedy and Kerry being elected to office all the time, I have to wonder if their elections aren’t fixed. I can’t believe that everyone in that state is that stupid.

[DoughtyOne]

Couldn’t agree more.

[RockinRight]

So, a bunch of 10 year olds who have never worked at a job know something about workers’ rights?

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure they do.

[getitright]

“...will help the workers get better wages...”

Here is a concept- how about the parasitic steaming piles try enhancing their value in order to “get better wages.” Want more money? Become worth more money.

Union Labor makes my blood boil. Extortion, Communism, and ignorant thuggery is all it is.

If you were worth the wage you were asking- you would not need to hire brain dead gorrilas to beat it out of your employer for you.

Better yet- if your employer is so bad, go into business for yourself, hire all of your union buddies, and pay them tons of money.

Nothing fires me up more than liberal asshats being generous with other people’s money. Perhaps the ten year olds are the only ones simple minded enough to buy the argument.

[CastleMan95]

I’m not sure we are collectively insane here...but I’d say Brookline and Cambridge, amongst the bigger culprits, certainly are.

Should anyone have any doubt on which side of the politcal spectrum the "Workmen's Circle" stans you can check out their resolutions here.

[weegee]

They know what they were told by some individual who told them to question (someone else’s) authority (but never the authority of the person trying to upset the apple cart).

[MrB]

Leftists use children and victims as human shields, because it would be “mean” to refute them.

Lisa Gallatin, director of Boston’s Office Technology Education Project, an organization that is sponsored by union women’s groups.

The Workmen’s Circle is America’s longest-standing Jewish labor organization. “The Workmen’s Circle was founded by Jewish immigrant sweatshop workers in 1900,” says District Director Lisa Gallatin. “In the union movement, its strike support activities, from picket line support to money and food to medical care provided, earned it the nickname, ‘The Red Cross of Labor.’ Today, the Workmen’s Circle is a thriving membership-based Jewish community and is the Jewish home for many prominent Jewish labor organizers.”
