I'll give credit to the MacIver Institute for at least allowing this video to be viewed uncut.

They picked the wrong guy to harass. A very good spokesman.

MacIver thinks this discredits unions ? Teachers? Alinsky?

I'm stumped.

He couldn't say anything regarding a conversation with another human being, except his trained responses of labeling, 'radical, socialist, communist, anarchist' kind of terms as if those had any relevance to the question of WHY he was a pair of hands for the Koch brothers to use. Another Breitbart wannabe, a mental midget with a camera.

But what is the MacIver Institute? Sounds like they're a RW organization, yet they're hosting this meeting of teachers learning how to organize effectively.

And is the guy with the camera a MacIver employee?

I'm just trying to get clear on who's on what side.

Oh, and that guy in the car did a stellar job!!!

I think they are just there filming them as they arrive for the training. Trying to embarrass them.
