Attending a conference in Chicago

From Anne Sorock writing at Legal Insurrection:
Northwestern U. Marxism conference packed with teachers
Teachers filled the ranks at the 2012 Midwest Marxism Conference, which was held Saturday at Northwestern University�s Medill School of Journalism.

Chicago Teachers Union Vice President Jesse Sharkey, who spoke at one of the breakout sessions, was just one of the hundreds of attendees, many of them teachers, there to strategize about the next phases of the partnership between Chicago Socialists and the Chicago Teachers Union.

Of course, all recording was strictly verboten unless you had been preapproved by the Chicago Socialists.

The event kicked off with Becca Barnes�s keynote speech. Barnes, a Chicago teacher, spoke about the new era of Marxism in America stemming from the Chicago Socialists� recent successes in running the show during the Chicago Teachers Strike. Said Barnes, who referred to everyday American capitalists as �capitalist vampires,� �the struggle here in the United States has entered a new phase. Nowhere have we pointed the way forward more clearly than here in Chicago with the teachers union strike.� From her talk and other succeeding events throughout the day, it was clear that the Teachers Union and Marxists were one and the same.
Good Lord! These are the idiots teaching our children. A bit more:
Thankfully, after hours of enduring non-discussion and hate speech against Americans (and being amongst those celebrating a philosophy of mass murderers), I was �outed� as not a communist, told I was �not in solidarity� and surrounded by members of the Chicago Socialists who told me to leave the Northwestern School of Journalism premises.
What does Chicago have to offer the United States anyway? Some financial entities? I would say just nuke this pestilent hell-hole from space and be done with it. UPDATE: Rebel Pundit from Breitbart was there too:
Teachers Flock to Northwestern University for 'Marxist Conference'
This Saturday, the Midwest Marxist Conference was held at Northwestern University�s Medill School of Journalism. The event was teeming with teachers who spoke about the new found bond between the radical socialists and their Teachers Union. The all-day event, which collected money to support Chicago Socialists and featured a communist bookstore, provided students on-campus along with the radical left community to plan the next phase in their activism.
Some more:
Despite registering for the event, the group of socialists that removed me, including pre-school teacher Kirstin Roberts, social worker Alison McKenna, printer Eric Kerl, Socialist organizer Shaun Harkin, and others. They surrounded me at the edge of a staircase, proceeded to push their way closer to me to force me down the stairs, and hurled insults at me as I attempted to find a way to leave safely. Even after leaving the conference, the group continued to bully me, with one larger man saying under his breath that �you know what would happen at Teamsters meeting� inferring a more violent solution to my presence:
Heh...
