The Lady in Red



It's perhaps the most mind-blowing quote I've seen in quite some time. This entire episode comes to us courtesy of lookingattheleft.com.

As background, this little adventure took place earlier in the week in Denver as local unions stormed the streets in solidarity of their brothers & sisters in Wisconsin. Our friend in red got in the face of Black Republican Leland Robinson:

Next, this lady in red rudely got in Robinson’s face.
Lady in red: “I asked you a question: Do you have any children? That you claim, that you claim.”
Robinson: “Do I need children to understand what’s going on?”
Lady in red: “You need children to understand education.”
Robinson: “No I don’t.”
Bystander: “What did you mean when you said does he have any children that he claims?”
Lady in red: “Because he’s such a free spirit and an entrepreneur, I would assume that he’s not supporting children. …
(To Robinson:) You are a big-mouth take-care-of-yourself man. You don’t care about anyone.”
At this point, police interceded. Seeing a lone black man being shouted at by union goons, they decided it was better that he joined the tea party protest at the bottom of the stairs, where he would be safe.

Nothing to see here beyond some average, run-of-the-mill Union ridiculousness, right? And where's this mind-blowing quote? Well, for that we need actually to back up a bit:

At this point, an aggressive woman with a purple SEIU shirt assailed Robinson with a flurry of insults.

“That’s your problem. You’re an entrepreneur, so you don’t work. You don’t know what work is until you get into an educational area. … You’re uneducated, unethical, immoral, and you don’t know what life is. That’s your problem. Why don’t you go behind that fence where you belong? Why don’t you go back with your own kind?” She said this indicating towards the bottom of the Capitol Steps, where a couple of hundred tea partiers were gathered listening to speeches.

You're an entrepreneur, so you don't work. Unfortunately there is no picture of this sage, the speaker of truth about all-things entrepreneurial. A shame; I've always wanted to see what exactly the face of stupidity looks like.
