Teacher's Union Prays for N.J. Governor Christie's Death

[gposty]

Who is this cocksucker,

[Brancato8]

I say to this man back at you jack. Your not even a pimple on Christie's rear end. Oh I'm not from jersey but my family is and they love him even though it's been difficult in the end it will be a 100x, s better

[yandirtty21]

Praying for someones death is nothing to joke about. You clearly know nothing about religion, moron.

[SoFunnyYouExplode]

Wow! Is this an adult speaking? Pathetic.

[uchooze1]

this guy is a still hiding in the closet, plus he's a big liar

[tjwalker]

@uchooze1 why do all closeted self-hating homosexuals like you assume that anyone who disagrees with you is a homosexual?

[HeIsNothingButABully]

oh don't worry about my money. i will be able to hang on to it. you see the rich know how. Don't know why you are seem so angry at me.... i'm saying Christie, if he becomes pres/v.pres... the middle class will see everything cut after they've earned it. It won't affect me cause I don't need it. I am on the side of the middle class.

[snaps81625]

Choose you this day whom you will serve.. sounds like this one is serving the underworld one.. I don't recall any of Jesus's teachings that said to kill... hmmmmm! Lucifer is having fun with this dude.. I am hoping Christie will run for President.. and his vice Presient ought to be Paul Ryan!

[HeIsNothingButABully]

@snaps81625

if he becomes prez... kiss your ss goodbye! i am rich and dont' care.

[snaps81625]

@HeIsNothingButABully And this is why you have the OWS out on Wall St. because the rich don't care.. give me a break.. We need someone to balance the checkbook and it isn't Obama.. and if you really think you can hold onto your money.. think again.. it could be gone in an instant.

[snaps81625]

Choose you this day whom you will serve.. sounds like this one is serving the underworld one.. I don't recall any of Jesus's teachings that said to kill... hmmmmm! Lucifer is having fun this dude.. I am hoping Christie will run for President.. and his vice Presient ought to be Paul Ryan!

[SuperStray27]

There is a little truth in all jest.

Whoever started that "joke" should be questioned and made to apologize at the very least.

[bertdorf3]

What a freaking weasel. Just the look on this face shows he's worthless and weak. He looks like a snake-oil salesman. I wouldn't believe him if he said it was sunny outside without confirmation. Twist, spin, lie... but never apologize!

[thelonesmokinggunman]

King Solomon said....What is done in the darkness will be shouted from the rooftops.

[njdevil281]

FUCK YOU AND THE NJEA

[ds6375]

Bergen co. public office of spin hard at work. These air head's really think that this is just a stab at humor? Perhaps but I think the teacher's so called Union more like a baby crying that there toy was taking from them 1.5% 750$ a year. Give me a break I pay for full coverage 12,000$ a year. I haven't got a raise in two years. But my taxes keep going up Thank you Teachers UNION For sending this state in to the toilet.

[jcomd]

What an apologist!!! Goering would be proud of this spin meister. Of course, if it had been a conservative, DEATH WOULD KNOW NO BOUNDS. But sure, shucks, he was just kidding. Just like Mark Halperin kidding that Obama was a "dick". Problem with these types is that the think the people are just stupid. Let's see what happens in November, 2012.

[hartranft66]

i give you an a+ for your spin, thats pretty good, nice try thou.....

[UGalum]

I think he meant Michael JACKSON, not Michael Jordan, when discussing that person's favorite actors and entertainers that died in 2010. It would certainly surprise Michael Jordan to find out that he's deceased. (This may have been mentioned before but I'm not about to read through thousands of comments to find out, so pardon me if I'm repeating an observation that has already been addressed...)

[joeasmythe]

democraps have plenty to be on the defensive about...............

[Hoschi0913]

how come.....1.that democrates always come up with some stupid lame excuses when they fuck something up ?........2.that democrates always go to a personal attack when the run out of arguments on a issue ?......3.that democrates always blame someone else for their fuck up's ?

[hammer44head]

What a snarky little twerp.

[tracygonecrazy1]

I support Gov Chris Christie and will vote for him in the next election. More power to the governor Cris Christie !

[makaveliagain]

You are the dumbass

[cowgirlmoon]

As my mother used to say: "As ye sew, so shall ye rip."

Those people can't hold a candle to Chris Christie... They'd have to have some integrity, first. Thanks for the vid.

[angelablass]

No matter how much shit Chris Christie gets, he's never said that about anyone else. That's what I like about Christie, he's loud, but he makes sense. The only reason why he brought this topic up is because people keep bringing up the "tone" he uses when addressing school issues & his point is, if u want to talk about "tone" praying 4 his death certainly describes their tone. I agree with Christie. I'm sure Jersyians didn't vote 4 him cus he's a nice guy, but cuz he speaks his mind.

[prydonian460]

In other words make sure you don't think about what you are saying regardless of whether you are near a mic or in public or amongst private company . Hatred and inappropriateness are none the less vile when spoken secretly. There is nothing funny about praying for some one's death even if humorously intended . Nice try TJ . You need a few lessons in compassion before you try to tell us how to be hateful and discreet . Don't quit your day gig .

[Shenandoah58]

What? Michael Jordan is dead? Someone better let him know.....

[potcrak1]

Another one of these "the end justifies the means" videos. Honesty, justice and the rule of law mean nothing for many.

[Petekiv]

I want Christie to be my President! Few people tell it like it is! Best thing that obama does is deny that he is a homosexual, muslim porch monkey! Who should we imprison, then deport? Who should leave the country, taking an older Buick with mudguards with him? Go to: Her Name is Ms Ann, for the answer! Rev. James Manning will explain. Unions must be destroyed! I'm also a Plumbing Contractor!

[sonofatiger]

The celebrities died from natural causes they were killed. Are you one of those rich guys are getting tax breaks from the governor. And having the middle class and working poor pay for it.

[ccijiss]

Yeah communist, I am rich and I want Christie to reduce the robbery brought upon me by other communists like yourself. As for the "poor", what idiot (in this day and age in the nation with the best opportunities on earth) would choose to be poor? Probably a lazy communist union pig!

[frontporchfamily]

@ccijiss You are happy because you got a tax break. Congrats...you are part of the 1% that control 90% of the money. You probably send your kids to private schools and are going to start investing in Christie's charter schools. You'll make a lot of money that way but the rest of us will be paying that bill and our children? Will they get a better education? Nope....

[spookypie]

An apology would do, a HUGE apology.  Your rationalization is nauseating.

[SeeeTubeee]

In the old days of the Colonies. THE PEOPLE were Fed Up with the way things were with England. They finally said FUCK YOU. Now in the very established United States. Over 200 years old now. THE PEOPLE are again FED UP. Insane Health care costs. Insane Property Taxes. And Teachers Unions that are eating our Property Tax Money. The 2 party system is failing. Business owns the Republicans. Unions own the Democrats. THE PEOPLE don't have any REAL REPRESENTATION.

[fivesmom]

My mother always told us to never write anything down that you wouldn't want the whole world to see.

[tjwalker]

@fivesmom good point!

[ZHSamuels]

You meant to say make sure you don't pray for the governor's death in public.

[tjwalker]

@ZHSamuels I said what I meant. Why do you say what you mean?

[tjwalker]

@bruinreuben Fell free to post again without the obscenities.If you use obscenities they will be deleted.

[tjwalker]

@9mm1970 thanks for writing.

[lvll138inrs]

socialism is the ultimate form of all. workers should have no right whatso ever in determining their wages and working conditions

[tjwalker]

@lvll138inrs Thanks for watching.

[Phoneguytim]

okay, look... i am a conservative and really like what gov. christie is doing--but i also understand that this was just a joke. i've seen the exact same joke going around with pres. obama as the punch line. conservatives need to grow up on this one and stop crying wolf. if conservatives want to be taken seriously, we need to stop blowing things like this out of proportion. it was a joke, people. kind of a funny one at that. lighten up.

[tjwalker]

@Phoneguytim thanks for injecting honesty into the debate.

[JASM4collection]

it wasn't a joke dumbass.

[tjwalker]

@JASM4collection Can you respond to Phoneguytim above?

[JASM4collection]

@tjwalker why

[clauerman1]

I didn't know Michael Jorden died??

[tjwalker]

@clauerman1 My blunder! I meant to say Michael Jackson.

[DavidD1960]

Dude ,I'm so dizzy right now. That has got to be the MOST SPIN I've ever heard.There is no way to spin this as a joke.PLEASE get real.

Nice try though,I'm going to have to give you an F for effort.

[tjwalker]

@DavidD1960 It's actually a very common joke, as the conservative writer above mentions. The punchline is sometimes changed to mention Obama. You can say that you don't find a particular joke is funny or tasteful, but to proclaim that something cannot be a joke is a profoundly ignorant statement to make.

[BishopAdamair]

@DavidD1960 ROFLMAO! Soooooo, are you really putting forth that if a prominent Republican had sent a similar email praying for Obama's death the Dims [sic] would be saying that it meant nothing and was only a joke? Your weak argument suggest that only one side of the political debate can be held accountable for their words and you really need to talk to grown ups more so you can learn to bite your tongue in lieu of such ridiculous public statements.

[DavidD1960]

@BishopAdamair Let me say this to you so that there won't be any misunderstandings.I think it is wrong to wish death on anyone,whether you be of either political party, is a non-issue. Another thing is your use of ad hominem in the same comment,as if your view is the only acceptable one.

[Quickroid]

@DavidD1960 You joke about wanting someone to die? Who is this loser. Make a joke about having a bomb at the airport see where that gets you. Oh it's just a joke. tjwalker, I will pray tonight that you die a painfull death this week. Just a joke! It's pretty funny. You must be a professional speaker, I didn't know that Michael Jordan had died

[Quickroid]

@DavidD1960 I agree with you A person jokes about wanting someone to die? Who is this loser. Make a joke about having a bomb at the airport see where that gets you. Oh it's just a joke. tjwalker, I will pray tonight that you die a painfull death this week. Just a joke! It's pretty funny. You must be a professional speaker, I didn't know that Michael Jordan had died

[tjwalker]

@Quickroid Thanks for the smart, thoughtful and intelligent commentary (that's another unfunny joke).

[Quickroid]

@tjwalker No I think it's pretty funny

[Quickroid]

@tjwalker No I think it's pretty funny. Just like your vid.

[tjwalker]

@Quickroid thanks

[DavidD1960]

@Quickroid One of the saddest things about this is, the people who hold these views,don't find anything wrong with saying such a thing.Then if you comment on what they say,they resort to personally attacking you and saying things like other people are doing it.Even my grand kids are smarter than that,they know that old worn out excuse ain't gonna fly.

[LS1XJ]

given the recent events are you sure that it is ever ok to even joke about these kind of things ?

[tjwalker]

@LS1XJ it's not a good idea

[RaveForSaleMan]

If a student had been found with a note in his backpack wishing the death of a principal and had that note been passed to every other student in the school, these self righteous teachers would have put the school on their infamous solution to any problem: lockdown and expulsion of the perp! Teachers need to stop making whining about everything and making excuses for the poor performance of their careers. If they were in the private sector half of them wouldn't be teaching.

[tjwalker]

@RaveForSaleMan thanks for writing.

[sodapoprags]

@RaveForSaleMan

The difference is there haven't been high-profile incidents of teachers shooting governors.

Not all private sector workers perform great. Take McDonald's or the horrible customer service people complain about so often from big cable and phone companies. There's shitty private sector workers aplenty in this country.

You could argue against this by saying that those are low-paying jobs, but then how will cutting teachers' pay improve the situation?

Less ranting, more thinking.

[shlomofeuerwerk]

Not funny. Disgusting. For good reason.

[sageofthewabash]

All unions are run by petty under educated punk ass thuggs. Give them a little power and they get drunk on it quickly.

@sageofthewabash that's kind of like saying all CEOs are greedy polluters and all blacks are a certain way. Isn't it?

Oh, You are one of those liberals who goes around calling all who disagrees with them racists...OK I will moderate my statement. It is my opinion that most Union leaders are as I have stated above, based on years of watching them operate. [union man]

[tjwalker]

@sageofthewabash Thanks for the thoughtful nuanced statement.

[sageofthewabash]

@tjwalker In that case I take back the nasty racist comment that I accused you of making...You appear to be a gentleman.

[sodapoprags]

@sageofthewabash

Comparing your statement to racism was out of line, definitely.

But the CEO comparison is spot on.

[justteach1]

@sageofthewabash Sweeney is a Union leader....

[sageofthewabash]

All unions are run by petty under educated punk ass thuggs. Give them a little power and they get drunk on it quickly.

[tjwalker]

@sageofthewabash that's kind of like saying all CEOs are greedy polluters and all blacks are a certain way. Isn't it?

[MrRT1966]

This guy mentions that the head of the union should have been more careful- so the news media didn't get wind of his "death to the Gov" remark. The head of the teachers' union or anyone for that matter should not be advocating the death of anyoneto begin with ! Period! Instead- the head of the teachers' union- should grow up - and work with Christie( the elected Governor) and the hard working overtaxed taxpayer's of NJ who pay the teachers' salariesfor a reasonable compromise !

[tjwalker]

@MrRT1966 agreed

[offthehook80]

tongue in cheek,my ass

[tjwalker]

@offthehook80 thanks for writing

[Arcaena86]

I suppose I could learn to spell.....lol.....POLITICIAN..­...I have dumb moments at times...lol

[Arcaena86]

I'm originally from NY, but i feel you should know a little something about everything. From what i've seen so far, Gov. Christie is an excellent man. I'm not very fond of poloticians......but i think he would make an excellent president.....

[SimJess]

@Arcaena86 Thanks for writing

[imax1971]

All unions, not just the teacher's union are a detriment to society..

[MrDurcon]

I didn't think this was real. Now I know it is. sick.

[littlesongbird1]

@MrDurcon Agreed. This what is upsetting about the NJEA not the teachers. I work with teachers and most are hard working and caring people but their union leaders are doing stuff like this and telling them lies. Is it sad that teachers have to take a pay freeze? Yes.

[Stargrave]

teachers union are almost as bad as the mafia if the governor doesnt pay them their protection money he's gonna wake up with ripped school books in his bed

[TheMindfulOne]

@Stargrave The teachers union certainly should have compromised to help the state budget, but if you payed attention you would see that NJ has some of the highest taxes in the entire nation. Why the hell should we cut education just to fuel tax cut for the rich that Christie has passed?

[circusmaximus10]

@TheMindfulOne CUT THE TEACHERS" PENSIONS and BENEFITS...not the salaries

[justteach1]

@circusmaximus10 The state has not paid for the Pensions....the teachers have. The state has not paid, with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 years worth, anything towards the pension in the last 15 years. We keep paying so understand that you can't cut the pension because they pay for it not the state.....

[circusmaximus10]

@justteach1 NOT TRUE!!! Municipalities have to contribute to them. SOME $ is taken out of salaries but not enough to cover the entire obligation. Get it, teacher? And you CAN discontinue pensions and lifetime benefits. Unions do NOT pay for retirees-WE DO...I cannot be any simpler than that. Talk to your shop steward, dummy, if he is even smart enough to know this

[SWEP2AOTC2002]

virtually all o the people I know outside my family are teachers It seems that it has become the default career choice around in NJ

I would sacrifice all o their friendships to have Christie fix this state

[tjwalker]

@SWEP2AOTC2002 Let's hope you can have both friendship and a good state government.

[23Conorq]

This same e-mail went around praying for President Obama to die. No one thought that was funny. Why was this funny?

[tjwalker]

@23Conorq The Obama thing wasn't a joke. The second was an obvious attempt at humor, but it obviously fell flat.

[littlesongbird1]

@tjwalker A teacher told me that if you are going to tell a joke make sure it is funny. Wishing for someone to die is not funny, it's immature and creepy.

[johnsmithvideo]

Chris Christie is awesome! The teachers' unions should just back off. GO CHRISTIE!

[tjwalker]

@johnsmithvideo Thanks for writing.

[CasualSoul]

Yeah, good point TJ!

[tjwalker]

@CasualSoul thanks!

[nord6644]

TJ, a joke is supposed to be funny. To pray for the death of a Governor is NOT funny. End of story.

[tjwalker]

@nord6644 Thanks for writing and sharing. It definitely wasn't a joke that went over well.

[zzot2]

Unions suck

[perseus651]

This is an adult?

[tjwalker]

@perseus651 Are you talking about the Union rep?

[littlesongbird1]

@perseus651 The person who said that "joke"? Yes. And an adult who works in a field with children..I wouldn't want some one like to be responsible for my child's education.

[gatekeeper96740]

All over the world, the ruling classes , their socialism, and their cultural genocide are being rejected. Fear of being called names like ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobe’ are evaporating. Now the ruling classes are fearful, and their mainstream propaganda machine is grinding itself to pieces. Socialism is collapsing worldwide, and with it, multiculturalism.

[tjwalker]

@gatekeeper96740 Thanks for writing!

[BaronVonLichtenstein]

Michael Jordon died?

[tjwalker]

@BaronVonLichtenstein What?

[BaronVonLichtenstein]

@tjwalker 26 seconds in

[tjwalker]

@BaronVonLichtenstein I'm very sorry. This video was made 5 months ago. Obviously Michael Jordan didn't die. I don't know what I was referencing there. I do remember the larger point which is that this official's use of humor ending up in a bad way. Thanks for watching.

[BaronVonLichtenstein]

@tjwalker Probably Michael Jackson.

[tjwalker]

@BaronVonLichtenstein That's it! thanks for getting it right for me. Sorry about the blunder.
