This is disgusting. An Obama supporting teacher in Asheville, North Carolina, is caught on tape ridiculing the young daughter of a soldier stationed in Iraq.

To keep from launching into a frothing tirade I'll just make this simple comment:
This story angers me.
This is a video of Diantha Harris, a lifelong democrat and avid Barack Obama supporter. She is also a lousy schoolteacher, as is evidenced by the mushmouthed kids in her class. And instead of concentrating on grammar and English, math and science, she abuses and ridicules any child who dares to speak up in support of John McCain. This video is part of a Finnish documentary on Obama fans, and it is shocking that you have to go to a foreign country to learn what goes on in our own classrooms.
See how she singles out the little girl and mocks her for having an absent parent, who is off defending the country, and lies to her, saying her Dad would have to stay in Iraq for a hundred years? The little girl was ready to cry.
Partial Transcript:
We want to talk about the presidential election. I want to ask you, who are you pulling for? Raise your hand.
Obama.
You pullin for Obama. Who you pullin for?
Obama.
Any of you pullin for John McCain? That's fine, say him as well.
Obama.
Obama.
John, oh lord, John McCain.
Oh Jesus, John McCain.
ok, now I wanna axe you somethin.
why are you pullin for John McCain? It's ok, but why are you pullin for John McCain?
I thinks it's because my parents are going for him too.
Ok, your parents are going for him. Why are you pullin for Borack. Barack
I just want a black president sometimes.
Ok, you want a black president.
The reason why I want Barack Obama is because he's making good changes in the good country and stuff like that.
So, he's making good changes for our country. Now can you tell me just a little bit more, like what type of changes?
Like not having big fights between Iraq and having soldiers killed.
So in other words, Barack is going to end that war in Iraq. What do you all know about that war in Iraq?
[Harris addresses Kathy] Talk, cause yo daddy in the military. Talk. It's a senseless war! And by the way, Kathy, the person that you're picking for president said that our troops could stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to!
[Kathy bites her lip, looks ashamed. Other kids stare at Kathy, laugh, smirk.]
So that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years!
