As we see it, Kristi Lacroix is one brave woman.
Lacroix is the Kenosha public school teacher who made an advertisement supporting the reforms of Gov. Walker and opposing the recall efforts against the governor.
Here’s the ad:
Needless to say, the bile and venom from Lacroix’s fellow unionista brethren on the Hate Left has not been in short supply. Her e-mail address at Kenosha Unified has been deluged with hate mail, encouraged by various sources online, including Facebook. This troll has been particular nasty:
His name is Dennis Kern. He’s a troll teacher at Second City in Chicago. I presume that is the comedy troupe that has given us such legendary comedians as John Belushi, John Candy, Bill Murray and Chris Farley. Unfortunately, Kern shows himself to be little more than a shart in the Jockey shorts of life. Yes, an Along Came Polly reference.
Kern has his very own hate website, called Free Wisconsin. Here’s his ad hominem attack on Lacroix, including a call to contact her via her public e-mail (which we pay for as taxpayers):
The screen cap is up in case this winds up going down the rabbit hole.
A Google search of Dennis Kern calls up his membership in the Applied Improvisation Network, which also links his hate site. An April 2010 article from the LaCrosse Tribune indicates Kern once worked — but no longer works — at Second City and instead is a “Madison actor.” Imagine that. Presumption is that his profession is conducting acting workshops.
Kern isn’t the only one, however. Here’s a note from the Facebook of radio talk show host Vicki McKenna detailing some of the vile hate mail Lacroix has received at her KUSD e-mail address:
Dear Kristi. According to several blogs and Facebook pages, it seems you spend a lot of time making inflammatory posts on anti-Walker Facebook pages. It also seems on Facebook there are lots of people willing to join the Fire Kristi effort. Too bad the protection of a collective voice from educators was dismantled by your champion. You are alone in a wilderness. Your financial help from the likes of the Koch brothers will dry up once your liabilities outweigh your assets; which will be very soon. Your best bet is to start a job-search soon. Good luck with that as your hero Gov. Walker has managed to lead our the state to a wonderful statistic; number one in the nation for job-losses since he took office. Better hope the unemployment gets extended. Enjoy your isolation.
Vile, despicable cockroaches. Update: taken down because of the volume of complaints from cockroaches for the comparison to Wisconsin Extortion Association Council thugs.
Folks, all of this is directed at someone simply for expressing an opinion. No other reason. This is only a sign of what is to come. The Left has had no problem publishing personal contact details of anyone who opposes them and targeting their homes and families, hiding behind the First Amendment.
The Clue Phone rings. Hello?
The Founding Fathers did not intend the First Amendment to be used to target and harass individual citizens in their homes or target children and families of people with whom we disagree. It was designed to protect individuals who spoke out in disagreement with the government. Period. Another sign of our civic ignorance.
I stand with Kristi Lacroix.
