Teabaggers get Ugly outside of Ayers event

On April 22 Professor William Ayers came to Fresno for a film screening of the award winning documentary "Weather Underground". Due to Ayers past as a radical anti-war activist and the GOPs smear campaign in 2008 of linking Obama to Ayers past, KMJ and the tea party created a huge stir and encouraged people to shut the event down. They got the original venue to back out, when an alternate venue was found the organizers of the event started receiving death threats. Due to this the brown berets were called in to do security and were met by this unruly mob. As you can see the berets did not back down and will never back down to any racist hate groups.

1. Massive stupidity on both sides on that video.

Amazingly sad video, for both sides, yelling meaningless crap at each other.

6. Brown Berets are great people

I've worked with them in a dozen different situations, all of which used them as security. They kept their cool at all times even when the other side started threatening violence. They have my respect.

2. Fresno? Not a good idea- one of the reddest areas of california

that was not smart

8. That is why it's called "struggle".

3. the only reason they know anything or care about ayers

is he was "linked" to obama. if it was`t for that they`d never know about him.

those stupid mother fuckers deserve what ever happens to them. if it takes the brown berets or some really big guys to control the situation so be it. if these guys and gals would act like adults then they may learn something about just how fucked up our education system is. they would also learn that ayers is diametrically opposed to duncan/obama`s education reform.

i guess i`m expecting to much from the teabaggers because their hatred of that ------ in the whitehouse and everyone associated with him.

Their tactics were misguided; however, we can learn from the commitment to social justice.
