Chris Christie to teacher "I'm tired of you people" His wife looks on and smiles. Picture.

[madfloridian]

Christie's temper tantrum toward a teacher

I went to listen to him speak. I stood in the front of the crowd that was standing towards the back. I know he caught sight of me. He stared at me a few times during his speech. I left right as his speech was over to position myself right at the door of the bus. He came out, shaking everyone's hands as he was getting on the bus. I asked him my question, expecting him to ignore me but he suddenly turned and went off.

I asked him: "Why do you portray our schools as failure factories?" His reply: "Because they are!" He said: "I am tired of you people. What do you want?"

I told him I want money for my students. He fought back with the amount that he has spent on education. My response was along the lines of the fact his amount was not actually an increase from the previous years, given the rate of inflation and other factors. ...

The crowd started arguing with me. He screamed at me to just do my job. The crowd cheered for him. I just looked at them and told them: "Hey, this is my life. I had to do this." I tried to follow him to Atlantic City to continue the conversation but the roads were blocked by police when I got there.

Here is the sign the teacher was holding.

[patricia92243]

1. The sign says "NJ is ranked 3rd." That sounds pretty good to me. n/t

[madfloridian]

3. Does sound good.

Even good schools are under attack now. It's a corporate thing.

[liberalmike27]

29. Attacking Schools

Is pretty useful. It makes for another reason to export jobs, and to blame the failure of America on, instead of the things Republicans have done.

Spending less on education makes for dumber people in the long run, which assures Republicans will then be able to con more people, who are unable to properly think, or reason.

I don't know what is wrong with people in this State, that would vote for an incredible asshole like this.

[zeemike]

38. And another reason for it.

Is that it makes a case for privatization of the schools, which is behind it all.
They can't wait to get their hands on that education money.

[jsr]

42. Corporate welfare at its best

aka thievery.

[lake loon]

55. Everything a profit center

To them, it's "to hell with the public." When will the country wake up to the organized crime represented by big money in politics, political whores in office and hate media perpetuating the whole rancid system?

[TexasTowelie]

120. +1

I wish that I knew the answer to the question you have posed. Unfortunately, if information isn't spoon-fed (aka Faux News) then ignorance will remain the status quo.

Welcome to DU!

[demigoddess]

66. You are exactly right.

Not only that, but if you listen they talk as if all that tax money was theirs. Theirs to loot and live off of. And they don't like the peasants using some of it.

[nxylas]

125. And it plays into right-libertarian mythology

Many right-libertarians homeschool their kids, and not always for religious/anti-science reasons. They have convinced themselves that public school classrooms begin each day by pledging allegiance to the Kenyan Usurper, and to the socialist values for which he stands.

[AtheistCrusader]

60. Step#1 in privatizing... er.. .I mean profitizing them.

[rhett o rick]

49. Then why is Gov Christie saying the teachers are failing at their jobs?

He wants to privatize public education.

[roguevalley]

75. it also gets votes from dumbasses. that swine and his swine wife can kiss my wife. Ugly, stupid

swine couple.

[polly7]

2. That poor teacher, but good for her for stating her case.

He seems like an out of control asshole.

[madfloridian]

4. Yes, he does sound like that.

[CTyankee]

6. And his gaggle of enablers standing by...bunch of bullies...

[RKP5637]

9. The guy is a flaming asshole. n/t

[yeoman6987]

110. The guy is going to be overwhelmingly reelected by both Republicans AND Democrats on Tuesday!!!!

Why???? Is the Democrat that awful? I haven't even heard who it is.

[RKP5637]

114. Barbara Buono - sure looks that way, here's a link.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/unknown-democrat-faces-tough-odds-in-run-for-nj-governor-against-popular-incumbent-christie/2013/10/28/c3517e72-4011-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html

[davidpdx]

113. Agreed

Which is why I'm so surprised people think he can get elected president.

[demwing]

56. well you know what they say...If it looks like an out of control asshole

and it quacks like an out of control asshole, it must be Chris Christie

[fasttense]

126. There are thousands of teachers like her and millions if you include family and friends.

So, if I were One of those "You People" he talks about so badly, I would be out in the streets protesting very loudly AND regularly.

So, why aren't they? It seems that in America protests are mostly reserved for Teabaggers.

[CoffeeCat]

5. Wow, the power of one person!

She obviously got to him! He knows who she is and he doesn't like that she is there.

I applaud her for her tenacity and courage. She's showing up repeatedly, amid a sea of lemming teabaggers who can no longer think for themselves. They're more than happy to shout the talking points at her, even if those lines aren't true. Blows me away that these teabaggers will do the bidding for big corporations, while being oblivious to the fact that they are unwitting corporate slaves. Corporations want to decimate education and position it as failing--so they can break the current system, swoop in, take over, pay the teachers a pittance and make their billions.

How sick is that? How will that be good for kids? Even the tea bagger kids! When will these right-wing lemmings think for themselves and realize that they are being used by the 1 percent?

I'm curious that Christie would have such a strong reaction to her. I think these politicians are constantly surrounded by like minds. They're coddled and urged by lemming followers, and by the corporations who constantly reinforce their corruption and lies. These politicians are like spoiled children who can't anything but 100 percent ass kissing.

They can't handle it when the sunlight gets into their totally warped, sick world.

This woman and teacher--really is a hero.

[Smarmie Doofus]

11. I fully agree, but it isn't just "rw lemmings." Lots of DEMs... including plenty here....

are on board w. corporate school "reform".

Rarely, if ever, do they have a "stake"....example: kids enrolled in ps, esp. *urban* ps.... and I really don't think they understand what it's all about, but it but it doesn't stop them from being absolutely *certain* they know how to "fix" public education.

[Doremus]

20. Fixing public education is the farthest thing from their minds.

You're kind to give the benefit of the doubt, but they really don't deserve it even if they are dems. Fixing public schools is certainly not the goal of school 'reform'.

Filling pockets is. Siphoning public money into private accounts. Feeding at the trough. Personal enrichment. This is the goal, the only goal.

Dems may assuage their guilty consciences by convincing themselves they aren't totally destroying public education so it isn't all that bad, but then again, I doubt it.

Dem or rep, it doesn't matter. The smell of money does that to people.

[Enthusiast]

92. Plus one!

"Filling pockets is. Siphoning public money into private accounts. Feeding at the trough. Personal enrichment. This is the goal, the only goal."

[nikto]

119. Exactly right, Doremus

Some good people just cannot fully grasp the cynicism
behind the School Privatizer$ and investor group$ drooling over
their slice of Tax-Paid, Public Ed money.

The pillaging of an institution, and raping of a profession (teaching),
has gone on
right in front of America's eyes.

Further profanity is added when Corporatist privatizers
defend school "reform" with the language of the Civil Rights Era (see: Deasy, Rhee, etc).

Sadly, only some Anericans are truly aware that
the battle for the soul and control of Pub Ed is raging right at this moment.

And presently, the bad guys are winning, by a lot.

[ReRe]

54. Whenever you run upon those types...

... ask them if they remember when Bill Bennett was over education. Ask them for his famous quote. They won't know it. Our country has been privatized right out from under us. Why, the only reason the HealthCare.gov website is so screwed up is because it was privatized! If you want to eff up something, just privatize it!

[dotymed]

68. IMO, the first

step to improving our educational system, is to Reinstate the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.

With that done (easily so, Obama instructs his FCC chairman to do it) all Americans can be honestly informed and exposed to differing views.
The media is the babysitter, companion, etc. to young and older minds. This is where the education should begin. Why has no "democratic" president done this?
Reagan had no problem ending this "magical" rule so that Americans would be uninformed...
Corporatists do not want us informed, exposed to different ideas or able to think for ourselves.

[Smarmie Doofus]

103. I OP-ed this. Hope you don't mind:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023973594

[dotymed]

122. Thank you.

Every American should understand this. We must have THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE REINSTATED if there is any hope for a well informed society.

[Brigid]

7. Why does Christie seem to have it in for teachers?

[Benton D Struckcheon]

13. Him and his supporters

Their name for the NJEA is the NJ Extortion Association.
Getting a school budget passed around here is like pulling teeth. Between the tea baggers and the old folks who figure they don't have kids in the schools anymore and so fight the budgets with all the time they have on their hands, it's a wonder public education even exists anymore in this state.
As I've said before, I do wonder how it winds up reliably blue in Presidential elections. Still can't figure that one out.

[SunSeeker]

18. Folks like that let CA schools slide from 1st to near the bottom.

They passed Prop. 13 over 30 years ago, the revenue starving effects of which started the long downward trend in our schools. Governor Brown is trying to reverse the trend, but Prop. 13 is still on the books so there is only so much he can do.

The fact is, folks in this blue state didn't want to spend money on schools, and we're seeing the sad results of that every day.

[whathehell]

32. Because they are Unionized!

The two national teachers unions AND the state and county workers unions (AFSCME) are two of the Last Remaining bastions of Unionized Workers in the nation.

While the country, specifically the Corporate Right, have done a good job of getting rid of PRIVATE unions through by Off shoring manufacturing jobs ("De-industrialization&quot these public unions are still alive and donating to democrats and preventing the complete WalMarttization of todays workforce -- The Repukes can't abide that!

[LittleGirl]

36. ding ding ding Bingo!

that's it.

[whathehell]

40. Yup!

It's too bad, in this case, that the teacher didn't fire back the same fact that another on this thread did:

That NJ is ranked as having the THIRD BEST public schools!

[Scootaloo]

77. They hate non-union schools as well

The unions are just a spike they hammer at to drive the public opinion. No, what they hate is education

A thinking public is a liberal public.

[heaven05]

8. screaming and trying to intimidate

is the rethug answer to truth. What a failure he is. BRAVO, brave teacher!

[RKP5637]

10. He's an obnoxious asshole that rules by being a loudmouthed bully and screams

like a child when he doesn't get his way and/or like what he heard/saw ...

[pangaia]

12. WOW ! Can anyone imagine Obama reacting like that?

Me neither.
That says a LOT about Herr Christie right there.

[coldmountain]

15. And we're scared of this guy? I'd like to see him try to do this to Hillary

[pangaia]

19. I'd like to see him try to do that to Bernie Sanders.

[Smarmie Doofus]

37. Some of "us" *like* him.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/06/14/why-cory-bookers-relationship-with-chris-christie-probably-wont-hurt-him/


Don't ask me.

[GatorOrange]

14. THAT'S the Chris Christie we will need to show people..

When he reaches the top of the GOP pile (probably 2020 after the "purists" get their way in 16). Christie is one slick RW Corporatist and is 95% on board with the larger conservative agenda. Christie may just be the best used car salesman of that garbage conservative economic message since Reagan. He spins it in such a way with his bluster that people foolishly buy it. Plus he has the "Lib-Rul" media eating out of his hands. Good job getting a response like that out of him. He oozes rage and hate.

[whathehell]

34. Oh yeah, he's QUITE the bully -- I never understood how so many consider him a "shoo-in"

for either a Repub Presidential Nomination OR the Presidency -- His personality basically sucks,

and it actually HAS shown by the media from time to time -- You can bet it will be out in FORCE if he

tries to run for president in '16.

[MADem]

70. He's a near lock for the nom BECAUSE he is a bully--the GOP likes that kind of guy.

That kind of shit doesn't work too well against HRC, though--ask Rick Lazio how that worked out for him!

[ramapo]

16. Unreported in today's paper

No surprise...there is actually an article this morning that says how Christie has been on such good behavior during his campaign, no bullying or nastiness. It is part of the media's Christie love fest.

I'm not sure why but I am a bit surprised at the vehemence of his reaction. Doesn't he think he has beat up on teachers enough? While I disagree with many of his assertions, if he wanted to be fair then he should go ofter the cops. If you want examples of pension abuses, excessive compensation, and overall waste of tax money, then look no further than the hundreds of NJ municipal police forces.

Even a big bully like Christie doesn't have the guts to take that one on.

[madfloridian]

17. Not surprised either.

Most of the harm being done to public schools by education "reformers" goes unreported except by bloggers and posts on Twitter.

The media just ignores it.

[SunSeeker]

22. Cops tend to vote Republicsn, teachers vote Dem.

Same reason Walker avoided cuts to cops in Wisconsin.

[Smarmie Doofus]

27. Point. n/t

[Smarmie Doofus]

25. Interesting point. I'd speculate that cops.... generally .... vote GOP in NJ.

>>>While I disagree with many of his assertions, if he wanted to be fair then he should go ofter the cops. If you want examples of pension abuses, excessive compensation, and overall waste of tax money, then look no further than the hundreds of NJ municipal police forces. >>>>>>>

And are therefore part of his natural constituency. Whereas teachers tend to lean left.

Also.... while the demographics are changing (gradually)..... teaching is traditionally a female-dominated profession and police work is still largely "for the boys."

But the inconsistency... as you've expressed it... it glaring and most illuminating.

[Rebellious Republican]

21. Many years ago I had a conversation with a private school teacher....

Back when JEB Bush was instituting the FCAT on public schools and wanting to hand out vouchers to private schools. I will paraphrase the conversation.

Private school teacher said she supported JEBS voucher program.
I asked her (slyly) why I should give my tax dollars to private schools?

That was the set up for trap I was about to spring.....

She replied that private schools provide a better education.

My reply was, prove it, she stood there with her mouth open trying to think of something to say. I added, so you would be willing to teach the FCAT in your school right. Apples for apples, FCAT for FCAT, their is no other way to prove it. She mumbled something and walked away.

[madfloridian]

46. Good work there, RR

[DhhD]

23. Christie hates the fact that teachers are in a position to nurture and care for ALL students and our

society as a whole. GOP does not like children who are able to think for themselves based on, "Good will toward Men". That is from the Bible. That means wanting the best for America by ALL of us giving the best that we can to each other and for the democracy of America. GOP wants the American Forefathers OUT of the textbooks. It is their great fear that the teacher will teach based on students refusing to accept corruption and sending their parent, and later their tax money, to profiteers, to privatize education. Teachers know that a system of Parent-Teacher-Student Association is against the Business model of Charter-Private where the parent-teacher have NO say in business decisions, just like how Christing is advocating public education become private business. A business wants your money and is not responsible for the return. Christie is hoping to persuade parents to give up their tax money and control of their children. Teachers are asking him about it publicly and he does not like, "those people", who are messing with his corporate backers agenda.

[SunSeeker]

24. The war on public schools is insane.

Thanks for the post and exposing this latest insult. I wish the media would stop idolizing this bully.

Go ahead, GOP. Nominate him.

[Ilsa]

35. What hypocrites these people are.

They had the benefit of a good education but have no interest in seeing that legacy passed on to the kids. I hope they pay the price for keeping kids ignorant.

[INdemo]

53. The thing about Republicans they have this "hate liberals" bred into them

They have probably grown up in households where that are taught that liberal is a dirty word Where they are taught liberals steal because they want a living wage,liberals want nothing more than to support the "free loaders" that are disabled VETS or Seniors or disabled citizens. I have heard this comment and read this a lot in our local Republican rag newspaper since the food stamp program was cut.So this teacher just want funding for her kids and that's when the "liberal give-a-way" kicked in as far as Christie was concerned.
So my point Chris Christie could have stood there and stabbed this teacher with an ice pic and people would have cheered. That is your typical right wing Republican.

[whathehell]

39. Wow...and they talk about "Union Thugs"?

This beast, bearing down on, and pointing a finger at woman half his size and width,

doesn't look like anything any woman (except his wife) would want in the White House!

[Riley18]

41. Dedicated teacher and brave.

Such a bully! If a student behaved like New Jersey's governor, he would be sent to the principal's office. The Jersey Shore cast had more class than Christie.

[fascisthunter]

50. "Pick up line 2, Governor Christie"

Some guy named Richie Incognito, says he's a pro football player from New Jersey. Wants to work on your campaign staff, says you're his kind of guy......"

[Lifelong Protester]

51. He's a bully, allright

and with that weight and temper, he won't be around for 2020, as someone here mentioned. He's going to give himself a heart attack by then, or have offended so many people (with great photo ops like this) that he'll not be winning any higher office.

Kudos to the brave teacher, but heh, we know how to confront temper-tantrum throwing babies and bullies.

[demwing]

61. Maybe we should just keep throwing teacher's and librarians

in Christie's path, and make sure someone is is around to film the mayhem?

[CFLDem]

78. Lol great idea!

I'd imagine it'd take only a half hour before he gives himself an aneurysm.

57. Not defending this creep but....

...I have to admit when I first read the subject line my first thought was "What's wrong with that? I thought that was how everybody in Jersey talked!!!" Yeah, but what do I know? I'm just a left coast communist-teacher-sympathising liberal....

(Actually to set the record straight, I'm actually a left coast teacher-sympathising communist, but who's counting?)

[ReRe]

58. K&R

Is red the state color of New Jersey? (I don't mean politically, as in red-state or blue-state.) What on earth does his wife think is so damn funny? "Those people" (as in Republicans of any stripe) are just effing wired different. There is absolutely nothing funny, as evidenced in Humpty Dumpty's face. Why wasn't she snarling like him? Does everyone remember what this butcher did? How many teachers did he fire? What he's doing ever since then is dumbing down the students. Isn't it a proven fact that larger class size reduces learning?

[demwing]

59. The wife's face speaks volumes

she is just pleased as punch that her asshole husband is harassing a school teacher. From the look on her face, its the best fun she's had all week.

Christie can't really be a public asshole and a private saint, right? That kind of anger usually intensifies in private. Maybe Ms Christie is just overjoyed that someone other than a family member gets the brunt of today's wrath from her pork chop of a husband...

[closeupready]

80. He really is an obese person; if he can't control his weight,

nor his temper, what makes anyone think he's fit to be dog catcher? Just say no to Chris Christie.

[BuddhaGirl]

86. I absolutely detest Chris Christie and everything he stands for

but really, what does his weight have to do with his temper??

Judge him by his actions, not his appearance.

The fat-bashing here is one of the things that makes DU suck sometimes.

[closeupready]

91. Obesity is very much associated with high morbidity,

poor health, and in his case, lack of self-control.

[BuddhaGirl]

97. And you know for absolute certain that his obesity

is due to a "lack of self-control"? And it's somehow related to his temper?

Yes, obesity is associated with high morbidity - but obesity is not always associated with a lack of self-control. He may have a medical issue that he's dealing with, who knows.

You are still judging him because he's fat, and that's wrong. It's bigotry, and it sucks.

[closeupready]

107. He's got a bully pulpit he's using to demean a teacher here,

and somehow it's ME who is the bad guy. Wow. Just love your sense of proportions.

[BuddhaGirl]

112. you blamed his obesity on losing his temper

I was calling attention to that.

You're changing the subject. Wow yourself I don't enjoy reading fat bigotry on DU, it sucks.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

99. I will judge him by his appearance.

His appearance tells me he's a fat pig with no self control. They could have cast him as murder victim #1 in the movie "seven"!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

65. The Right Wing LOVES the idea of a tough guy going to DC to kick ass.

[DallasNE]

67. Now If They Would Only Staple His Mouth Shut

It does look like he has lost about 70 pounds but his aggressive confrontation of opposition is straight out of the Nixon playbook. Nixon used to like to taunt his critics for applause lines and look where that led us. And what is it about these Republican Governors that like to aggressively wag their finger in the face of those they are addressing. Chris Christie = Jan Brewer. Beam me up Scottie.

[mountain grammy]

71. Bravo for this teacher! Speaking truth to the bullies!

[calimary]

72. Well, some of us are damn tired of HIM! And his damn bullying.

I don't happen to find in-yer-face attractive. I don't find bullying attractive. I don't find being a lout for the sake of being a lout attractive. He's not some "breath-of-fresh-air" "no-bullshit" "plain-talker." He's a fucking bully. DAMN I hope he gets his comeuppance. Too many people are enthralled by him - I know not why.

[Bill USA]

73. the GOP blame & demonize the teachers, the people who are dedicated to doing one of the most

difficult jobs in the country - and for not enough pay. (BTW: I am not a teacher)

I enjoyed the ads of a couple years ago which after relating comments by people about teachers who inspired them to do more than they would have without the inspiration followed these by asking: "when can you remember anybody being inspired by a hedge fund manager?"... they might have added: "... or by a Republican politician?"

..recommended!

[pansypoo53219]

74. women assholes find & marry assholes.

76. You never never never never NEVER see a Democrat do that.

Christie is a brute and a bully. I wish our Dems had more backbone, but there's never a need to speak to a constituent with that much contempt and dismissiveness.

[catrose]

79. I'm really tired

of the RW telling us to do our jobs (whether teachers or otherwise) when no one will spend the money for tools or supplies for us to do our jobs with.

Perhaps they should read the Bible, the part about making bricks without straw and maybe the part about the laborer being worthy of his (or her) hire?

I'm always encouraged to see teachers and parents fighting back with the truth.

[Thucydides]

85. My teachers were the best!

I had a teacher that played these two songs for us, passed out the lyrics, and asked us to write a paper as to what it meant to us. It was an interesting homework assignment, more challenging than you might think. This lesson from that teacher has always stuck with me, in hindsight, it was not graded, everyone got an A for turning something in. She just wanted to make a lasting impression on us, sly old fox that she was.

87. FYI Christie's education policies don't differ much from that of Pres. Obama

They both use market reforms to privatize public education.

[madfloridian]

89. Very true, but Obama doesn't yell at teachers.

However you are right, the policies are about the same.

[Thucydides]

95. I do not recall Obama and his wife reacting this way.....

He said: "I am tired of you people, what do you want"

She should have doubled up her first and punched his fat pussy hand with all her might. The bully probably would have doubled over in pain right there in front of the cameras. That would have ended fat boy's political career on the spot.

I don't want to read about him any more. If I do I'll go to the opponent's web sites, which is pretty much all corporate mass media anyway.

100. Thank You!

For standing your ground against these ignorant jerks. They think they are the solution but actually they are the problem.

102. A being a bully is what will cost Christie the presidency . . .

If he chooses to run and if he can get past the freak show that will be the Republican primary.

[yurbud]

111. being a bully is the only thing that would GET him the GOP nomination

Republicans see a latter day Boss Tweed and LIKE the resemblance.

[MrModerate]

116. Agreed that being an asshole is one of his 'winning' characteristics to Republicans . . .

But he has also demonstrated reasonableness from time to time and a willingness to actually govern, and that may doom him.

[yurbud]

128. yep--by today's standards, he's practically a moderate, but mouth-breathers will be too busy

admiring the bullying to notice.

If fat boy runs for president how long before he has a total meltdown

[Dopers_Greed]

106. That fat fuck

I hope that the Dems are gathering plenty of material to use against him in his presidential run.

[Democat]

118. Someone like Christie has to have a lot of skeletons in his closet

Hopefully the Democrats are talking to the right people in New Jersey and getting the information that will lead to his fall.

121. May the Cosmos bless this fine, dedicated teacher

for just trying to do her job properly. And may the Cosmos render justice to Christie and his rabid, misguided apologists.

[Madmiddle]

124. This is the guy NJ choose

as governor? He is a very disgusting grease ball. He's a bully that has the state's
power and that is a bad thing. Sad that they didn't have a candidate that would run against this creep. If he was just a citizen and not royalty, someone would have given him a black eye by now. Bullies have no place in our soceity...

[Uncle Joe]

127. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, madfloridian.
