Angry ACORN Mob Intimidates NY Lawmaker, Assaults Top Aide
AMERICAN SPECTATOR ^ | 6.12.09 @ 6:40PM | By Matthew Vadum

Posted on 06/12/2009 4:07:40 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

an angry mob that included many ACORN supporters nearly knocked New York state Sen. James Alesi, a Republican, down on the floor and spat in the face of his chief of staff....

The protesters were reportedly upset that two Democratic senators decided to caucus with Republicans, a move that when finalized by the state Senate would hand Republicans control of it. Majority Democrats have shut down the chamber to prevent the transfer of power.

The face of the Obama-nation.

We are at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history. A very steep, very hard and dangerous roads leads one way...an abject fatal precipice leads the other.

ACORN are the Fascist equivalent of the Brownshirts. How can this be when they are not supposed to be aligned with any political party when they receive federal funds?

It sickens me that liberals always react to shut down things they don’t like. Remember when the Texas Democrats fled to Oklahoma and New Mexico to prevent redistricting legislation from passing? This year, they performed more stall tactics to kill the voter ID law that had passed the Senate. Yet they *always* get away with it. Let’s just see what would happen if Republicans walked out en masse to prevent Obama’s health care plan from passing. Do you think the media would look the other way like it does when Dems do this crap?

Part of me wanted to reply with a snarky...you didn’t know that? But they are funded by our tax dollars. WE are paying them to do these things.

And it is not just ACORN per se. They are a network of organizations.

Where was security while all this was going on?

Isolated incident?

Just a few grumpy folks that didn’t really mean anything?

It was simply a few people that feel strong about an issue so they acted out?

Anybody that thinks we are going to get our country back by simply voting, is in for a shock... and should stay away from sharp objects.

“Worse than that was to lock the bill jackets in a drawer, so that even though we had an active list we couldn’t vote on any bills to send them to the governor or to send them to the assembly,” Alesi said. “It’s an obstruction of legislative process. It’s a disgraceful display of power that is not righteously held at this point.”

"Majority Democrats have shut down the chamber to prevent the transfer of power."

The hypocrisy is stunning. If Republicans did this, most every news source in the nation would be screaming bloody murder. Liberals are whiny little fascist pigs.

Republican Sen. George Winner of Elmira blamed Angelo Aponte, secretary of the Senate, for not preventing the protest. Winner said Aponte violated chamber rules by allowing it to go on. Republicans have already sought Aponte’s resignation, to no avail.

“Today’s disgraceful actions outside the Senate chamber were clearly sanctioned by Secretary of the Senate Angelo Aponte,” Winner said. “He put the well-being of staff and legislators in jeopardy by allowing a violent protest in a restricted area of the Senate lobby.”

If it works in the state senate, look for expansion into the US House and Senate chambers. Democrats are all about power, their thirty plus years of empowering their party via the slaughter of alive unborn should have proven that decades ago.

I want to know where the state troopers assigned to the capitol were when this happened. I understand that our “wonderful” secretary of state allowed the ACORN folks in - when they would not have otherwise been welcomed into the “hallowed halls”.
