“Agree with us, or we’ll inflict violence on you.” Yeah, that’s real frakking progressive there, guys.

According to federal law, union thugs can commit crimes if they are performing official union duties such as a strike action. That’s just part of the legacy of Wagner and other union crap from the first part of the 20th Century. slickwillie2001 on December 13, 2012 at 4:53 PM

Yup, the Hobbs Act. It needs to be changed.

The most alarming thin is how many people on the left applauded the behavior or tried to excuse it because agent provocateur and Faux Snooze and Boosh. Gawker commenters and Redditors are the lowest of the low when it comes to internet commenters (9Gag and YouTube notwithstanding), but so many of them thought it was perfectly fine to perpetrate violence against somebody you disagree with because they were “asking for it.”

Social conservatives had it wrong. Godlessness isn’t what causes moral failings; LEFTISM is.

We all and all the libs at politico and the press, and in the government, better pray that they understand where the “line that shall not be crossed” is located in dealing with the right.

The problem is that the right is too old and to spread out too really be of much use against anyone. The other big problem is that the right is also too moral to do anything about these people. The right has a misplaced trust in the authorities who they expect will support them and I really don’t think that will be the case.

When thuggery is okay

When war is okay.
When assassination is okay.
When drone attacks are okay.
When running guns to criminals is okay.
When voter fraud is okay.
When pretty much everything illegal is okay.

Is when it’s done by democrats.

These aren’t tactics favored by the right, and if they were it would be an ongoing national scandal.

The left is comprised of many two-bit punks and thugs who, on a small scale, wreak mayhem and havoc on peaceful citizens, with the approval of our marxist president. What our marxist president, the union thugs, and the running amok bureaucrats need to understand is that if the right wing ever resorts to these tactics, it is all over. We all and all the libs at politico and the press, and in the government, better pray that they understand where the “line that shall not be crossed” is located in dealing with the right.

Congress just can't seem to pass the Freedom From Union Violence Act closing the "lethal" loophole in the Hobbs Act.

"The Freedom from Union Violence Act, would hold union officials who plan, commit, or foment extortionate violence against a firm’s employees to the same standard as business rivals, gangsters, or anyone else who does the same."

When thuggery is okay

For liberals, thuggery is always ok.

Liberals would be aghast if conservatives did what they do and say on a regular basis.
