“There will be blood”: Union violence in the age of Obama
Of course, this is just more of the same twisted “civil and honest public discourse” of the administration’s union protection squad:
–May 2010: The Service Employees International Union buses in 700 workers from 20 states to storm Bank of America deputy general counsel Gregory Baer’s neighborhood and terrorize his youngest son while at home alone in Chevy Chase, Md. The tactic is straight from an SEIU intimidation manual on using community groups to “damage an employer’s public image and ties with community leaders and organizations.”
–September 2010: AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka praises Nancy Pelosi for taking Obamacare and driving “it down the Republicans’ throats and out their backsides.”
–August 2011: Striking Communications Workers of America declare “open season” on Verizon. Dozens of cases of sabotaged cable lines are reported.
–September 2011: ILWU bosses lead a “Days of Rage” protest at Port of Longview, Wash., taking a half-dozen guards hostage, sabotaging railroad cars, dumping grain, smashing windows, cutting brake lines, threatening a local TV station and blocking trains in violation of a judicial restraining order.

I`m thinking the battle between the cops and the thugs at the end of The Dark Knight Rises.

Yep, and I’m thinking Obama’s unions will be his front line street thugs. If he can reinforce it with some racial and Muslim stuff, of course he’ll do that too.
On the bright side, I can’t imagine an enemy I’d rather have than the unions… and an enemy easier to beat in the court of public opinion, especially the public employee unions. People are sick of them already. All it takes now is some leadership to politically mobilize that consensus.

So is it too much to ask for republicans other than the usual suspects who can’t wait to be in front of cameras make a fuss about this whenever they can?
This is why we lose when the enemy sets the agenda and we don’t respond in kind plus some.

Yep, there just may be blood…

I honestly thought there would be something from at least one liberal who comments here condemning this.
I guess this is a whole new ballgame.

(sigh)…
This is getting a little old.
I am a fan Of Michelle Malkin and Dana Loesch as well as Steve Crowder but please…please…enough with the union guys are mean stories.
Stop the whining about it.
Listen…EVERYBODY knows what will happen if you wade into a crowd of angry union guys and get in their face.
And stop crying how nobody on network TV will cover the story.
Of course they won’t cover the story.
They are political operatives.
They are not in the unbiased news business.
Stop acting all outraged they are unfair.
Is this your first day on earth…?
They just won a huge election based on lies, omission, propaganda and all sorts of nasty tactics and they are loving it.
Why would they pull back now…?
The right had better toughen the f up or they are toast.
These guys are using brass knuckles and we are acting like Dudley Do-Right
