the unions. And that is by accusing liberals for "the soft bigotry of low expectations" of poor children, trying to get the subject of poverty off the table for discussion in education "reform." You see, it's not poverty that's at fault. We can't blame poverty. It's those damn teachers unions.

They know damn well what they are espousing. I'm sick and tired of their pious pronouncements about the poor children being exploited by greedy unions. It's disgusting.

Joe had better be careful. In that segment he showed his true colors. He used to be more circumspect, not being so outright abrasive to the teachers unions. I think the man is just furious with how this presidential contest is shaping up. His repukes are looking ridiculous...
