It’s no secret that teachers unions love the Occupy Wall Street crowd, and share most, if not all, of the ideological anti-free market principles the Occupy movement is built on.
WEAC officials are big fans, according to the union’s Twitter feed, and Milwaukee Teachers Education Association President Bob Peterson has even specifically stated that “Our teachers union supports Occupy Wall Street Milwaukee.”
“We believe we need to change the political and economic dynamic of this society,” he said.
Many of the agents of change for Big Labor, the recall effort and the Occupy movement were out in full force last week during an Americans for Prosperity event featuring presidential hopeful Rick Santorum.
EAG chatted with some of the protesters outside of the event, and the video we captured says a lot about these radicals and the unions that support them.
One woman, who was waiving a large cardboard sign that read “Rick Santorum keep your theocracy out of our Democracy,” told an EAG reporter that “they took everything away from us.”
“We should be angry,” she said.
We asked what “they” took.
“Gov. Walker took our jobs. He cut our schools. He took $86 million out of Milwaukee schools!”
We asked what he did with the money.
“What do you think? He gave it to the rich corporations. He gave it to the Koch brothers.”
Anther man had a vendetta against Santorum, describing him as a “disgusting person” who is “openly racist” and “openly homophobic.”
When asked to provide one example of Santorum’s “openly racist” remarks, the protestor’s only reply was “I invite you to investigate it.” In other words, he couldn’t substantiate Santorum’s allegedly racist remarks.
Other protesters spent the afternoon shouting through a megaphone at passing cars, explaining that the conservatives inside the building “are not even human beings.”
Watch the EAGtv video to get the full flavor of what Occupy Milwaukee and its Big Labor supporters are fighting for.
But be prepared, it’s not pretty.

As I already emailed your group, the picture you have chosen to use is of a intellectually challenged individual, your provocateur knew that this individual was not emotionally stable at the time yet he chose to further provoke him. As for the bit about people not being humans; if you clowns actually took the video in context then you would realize that the individual with the megaphone was referring to the people in the building as speaking for the Koch bros. and ALEC (i.e. CORPORATE INTERESTS) not PEOPLE. You all speak for moneyed interests. Hope you all get locked up someday.
