Chicago teachers union vp busted participating in midwest marxism conference

[Clayton_Wetter]

While a guest on a local Chicago radio show, Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) VP Jesse Sharkey was questioned over his recent participation in the Midwest Marxism Conference and refused to answer why he was there and what relationship the Chicago Teachers Union has with the conference and sponsoring organization, the International Socialists Organization. Sharkey, who was documented by Breitbart News attending the Marxist conference at Northwestern University last month, appeared caught off-guard and struggled to respond to the question.

WLS radio’s Bruce Wolf and Dan Proft had Sharkey on their show to discuss the ongoing school closing battle between the CTU and the Chicago Public Schools. Sharkey had been discussing the Chicago Teachers Union’s network of coalitions that supported the recent teachers strike, when Proft asked him to address the union’s relationship with “revolutionary movements.”

Sharkey first stammered that Proft’s question was “McCarthyism,” but when he persisted [Editor’s note: in an effort to keep Sharkey’s response intact, we have done our best to transcribe the stutters and “ums” as uttered]:

Sharkey: What our union has done, is work very hard to build a coalition between people who work in the schools and depend on the public schools and the people who go to school, the students and community …And, uhm, I think the fact that we’re dedicated to that is reflected in the fact that there’s been broad support for the things we're trying to do.

Proft: Where do the revolutionary movements fit into that coalition? I understand that a couple weeks ago that you appeared at the Midwest Marxist Conference at Northwestern University to talk about the important support that Chicago teachers get from revolutionary movements’ use of the strike weapon. What’s the alignment with Marxist organizations and revolutionary movements?

Sharkey: Ha, ha, ha, look guys, I mean, thanks...

Proft: That’s a legitimate question. That’s actually just happened. That’s actually true. That’s not McCarthyism.

Let's see....

Breitbart is not a creditable news source any more than Fox is. Both are Right Wing crap spinning sites known for playing very fast, loose and recklessly with facts.

Try another one. I mean, I know in your little world of "everyone's a commie fascist liberal tree hugger" who isn't part of your little world that garbage passes as a good legitimate source, but don't expect the rest of the rational world to buy it. It's crap, and we know it. But it is good crap for people like you, who will believe anything that smears people you hate already.

They're just telling folks like you what you want to hear. Enjoy your lunch.

So even though its a transcript of the show, the guy never said any of that stuff....and you suggest that were irrational?

You're as sharp as a bowling ball teenie! FOX is the last stand on television (other than The Blaze) to get anything near the truth. Just because YOU hate nonliberalism and refuse to face the truth when it is presented only shows that your narrowing mind is critically bottlenecked. And I do say all of this with conviction and inner peace! lol

By the way the article was about the Chicago teacher union VP attending the Midwest Marxism Conference. Where is the spin and lie about this fact? Empty rants on your part don't dispell anything.

At least that's what they want you to believe and it looks like they have brainwashed you into believing they are honest and truthful but, far from it.

This thread is supposed to be about the Chicago teachers union and Maxist meetings not about any news networks. If you can't argue the points then deflect, right??

Oh so sorry but, I thought I read that in your post that you mention about fox.

After teenie threw them in as a deflection and attempted subject changer I did mention them, but only for that reason.

The part in bold is the classic "so, tell me officer, do you still beat your wife?" question from the defense lawyer as he begins to mount his defense of his client by first throwing out some misleading smear about the officer. It's loaded with insinuation, inference, etc and completely misrepresents what actually occurred. But people like you, good little conservatrash lap dog that you are, lap it up day after day. And Breitbart, Fox, Limbaugh and Beck make a fortune off of you.

Again, as I told you before, you can enjoy eating your crap all day long, it doesn't make a single bit of it true, accurate or relevant.

Enjoy your lunch.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Better to make a fortune telling the truth than to make it tellings lies and deceptions.

While I eat Filet Mignon and healthy foods you continue raiding the dumpsters for garbage. It's tough, but somebodies got to be you!!

Oh, believe me I would much rather be me. I can see the drunken drug addict with the personality disorder for who he is... you see him as your prophet, unravelling the mysteries of the world (that only he can see, basically because he makes it all up) and then selling them to you along with the book, coffee mug and tshirt with "The Blaze" on the back.. lol

I have to wonder why you have to be so hell bent on character assassination? While you certainly don't have to believe one word out of Glenn Beck's mouth, why is it you can't give him credit where credit is due? He is, in fact, a recovering alcohol/drug addict (he freely admits this). The point is he NO LONGER drinks or does drugs (if you have proof he does I'd be interested in seeing it). I have nephews who fell into this Satanic trap of drug addiction and I resent you using it to label someone so flippantly. This is a huge problem in America and for someone to beat it and make something of their life should be commended by all rational people. For God's sake, show your human side for a change and say something positive instead of being an ass all the time! We have ALL done things we are not proud of. To brow beat someone for their PAST, when they have obviously taken the steps to rectify their mistakes, does nobody ANY good.

I used to listen to Glenn until he went off the deep end but, I will give him or anyone else credit for beating any kind of addiction no matter what that addiction is. Skids good luck to your nephews because I know you know it is an everyday battle to stay clean but, I'm sure with people like you around your nephews they have a good chance of doing just that.

Beck never went off the deep end. you just can't accept some of what he even gives proof of because you are a hard core liberal. And that in itself is an off the deepend sickness!

I know Glenn's has you right where he wants you but, I'm sorry I can not feel sorry for you. I guess you two will have to go off the deep end together.

[TeamGRT12x]

How many times has Glenn thought about suicide? He talks about being borderline schizophrenic in a book he did in 2003. I'd listen to him though.
