University says video distorted labor professors’ meaning (Breitbart)
Videos released on the Internet showing two University of Missouri professors advocating union violence totally distorted their comments, a university official said this afternoon.

The videos, posted Monday on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website, show University of Missouri-Kansas City professor Judy Ancel and Don Giljum, a lecturer from the St. Louis campus, team-teaching a Labor in Politics and Society class.

The video has Ancel, who directs UMKC’s Institute for Labor Studies, telling her class: “Violence is a tactic, and it’s to be used when it’s the appropriate tactic.”

Other snippets show Giljum, of Local Operating Engineers 148, describing tactics, such as “strategically placing a screwdriver near equipment” and circulating literature about “plant sabotage,” that he and union buddies used to force plant shutdowns.

But university officials, who have spent the week reviewing much of the “18 hours of an unedited video of the Labor in Politics and Society class,” say the website videos are obviously bogus.

Keep pounding it.

The 'baggers will believe what they want to believe, reality be damned.

Just compare the negative press (no matter how deserved) the dude with the overseas schools (I am pretty loaded and cannot recall who/where) is getting versus virtually nothing on Breitbart.

Fraud is fraud, scams are scams.

Keep pounding it.

Teachers have always been my heroes.
