San Diego, CA - July 2009 - Earlier this summer in San Diego , on the last day of the yearly National Education Association Convention, its outgoing general counsel, Bob Chanin , gave a speech for the ages.

But at the 15:30 mark, he switched gears and started lobbing grenades at perceived NEA enemies who he deemed "conservative and right wing bastards." Please click here.
