Sure, ACORN, they helped people likely to vote democratic to vote, you know, the poor, the young, folks of color; and Planned Parenthood, they help people likely to vote democratic get the health care they need despite republican's efforts to deny them that service; but PBS? Could it be that PBS actually encourages people to think, and therefore likely to vote a democratic ticket? Breitbart is a propagandist, not a journalist.

Neal, over-stepping hubris always catches the moralizing hypocrites. I see it coming.

Today another edited together lie of a labor studies professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas appearing to advocate violence as a strategic tactic for Unions.
Brietbart is slime.

.
This is where I'd say our system begets violence. Our system is based on force and or violence to achieve a desire or end result.

I think you missed the point. Edited out of context, the professor appears to be endorsing violence, but in fact was discussing past history, that included violence. That violence was usually instigated by the companies, not the unions.
Violence is a tool of the weak.

You can stream Harlan County on Netflix if you have it. Both are powerful documents of what a strike is really like.
Director Barbara Kopple's film about the 1973 coal miners' strike in Harlan County, Ky., won a Best Documentary Oscar and was selected for the National Film Registry. Highlighting the struggles of families living in shacks with no indoor plumbing and enduring hazardous working conditions, the film details the conflict between the Eastover Mining Co. and the laborers determined to join the United Mine Workers of America.

Sorry, the title said 105 minutes but it was only a few minutes long. It is hard to find, it appears it is still copy righted and youtube has been yanking it.
