"Every once in a while, you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary," U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass., told a Feb. 22 union rally in Boston. Even if union members and their supporters missed Capuano's call to mayhem or his subsequent tepid apology, many of them are on the same brutal wavelength.
Although U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., still is recovering from a Jan. 8 assassination attempt, the Left's post-Tucson civility campaign has vanished. Rather than make nice, labor activists and fans are preaching and perpetrating violence.
n On Feb. 23, unionized government employees held a Providence, R.I., solidarity rally. As columnist Michelle Malkin reports, a local TV cameraman named Adam Cole was recording the event. After about seven and a half minutes, a YouTube video shows a pro-union thug threaten Cole with rape, call him a "faggot" and forcefully smack Cole's camera with his right hand.
n Holding a sign that reads "CWA - Taking a Stand for Justice," a Communications Workers of America member protested that day at the Washington, D.C., offices of pro-market Freedom Works. As its employee Tabitha Hale recorded him exchanging words with an opponent, the CWA member physically attacked her, as her iPhone video confirmed.
n Tea Party Express activist Rodney Stanhope was among a group of limited-government advocates who rallied at the state Capitol in Sacramento on Feb. 26. MoveOn.org members, Teamsters and other Big Labor types gathered across the street. For about an hour, Stanhope says by phone, tea partiers yelled, "We pay your salaries" while the unionists replied, "Fascists, go home!"
YouTube shows a young, bullhorn-wielding Teamster heading menacingly toward Stanhope.

satan always overplays his hand.
Union thugs are full of more hate than your average nonunion DemocRATs. I never thought that was possible.
Unionism itself is fascism. Hitler's pro-labor political movement was named the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Socialism for workers and terrorism for all. That's what labor unions are all about. Unions are simply evil incarnate.
Has Dick Matthews reported on this stuff yet?
'twas ever thus.
Guilty conscience manifesting itself.
Same way the countries we give the most aid to, bitterly resent us.
Yeah - these national socialist union workers don’t take long to show their true colors.
The Union Label
IMO, many in the Unions are thugs and goons; they haven’t just turned that way now.
Not surprising they’re thuggish, considering the fact that they’re thugs.
They didn’t just turn thuggish, they’ve always been thuggish. It’s who they are.
It’s just that now they think that thuggishness will force others to capitulate.
It will work to some degree, but with times as they are, they’re going to lose a lot of ground.
Unionism is evil and deceitful by definition. It's premise is collective bargaining which is a form of Communist collectivism, pitting employees against those who actually create the jobs in the first place!
The history of labor unions in the United States is filled with corrupt bosses with Communist influences from the days of the Wobblies (IWW) to the present. Many of its most influential leaders are subversive foreigners (Samuel Gompers and Benjamin Schlesinger among hundreds of others).
In the wake of unionism lies only ruin. Look at the auto industry in Detroit, killed by the UAW. Pittsburgh's rusting steel mills are a direct result of the leftist USW. The failure of the education system is attributable to teachers' unions such as the NEA, under the thumb of the vile leftist Dennis Van Roekel.
Unions destroy everything they touch. Period. Paragraph. Chapter. Book.
