NY Congressman Tim Bishop tried to pack his town hall with unions on the ‘take’ for nationalized healthcare.
The people of his district erupt in open rebellion when one of the union goons tries to speak! Union members, many from outside the district, were snuck into the hall beforehand in an effort to stack the deck with a friendly audience.
The last straw came when one of the union leaders from outside the district was asked to speak. The citizens erupted in open revolt which almost led to violence from the union goons.

What I don’t understand is why do these union thugs always show up in their union t-shirts with their uniform signs? Wouldn’t it be much more effective if they gave the impression they were NOT organized and weren’t brought in as a rent a mob? Why wouldn’t they try to appear as though they were there independently? It’s meaningless to show up as a unit.

It’s meaningless to show up as a unit. Old fashioned union thug intimidation tactics. Doesn't work in the 21st century.

What I don’t understand is why do these union thugs always show up in their union t-shirts with their uniform signs?...because they've been indoctrinated for years to believe such shibboleths as "In Union there is strength" and "The people united can not be defeated" - they're not bright enough to think beyond what they've been conditioned to accept now that change in tactics would malke them appear more independent and sincere. Thugs are usually only courageous when surrounded by other like-minded thugs......

I don't know Bishop, but from this event he definitely looks like one of the many members of Congress who needs to develop his empathy by experiencing unemployment after his next election.
These ruling class pigs have gone too far with their buying of the working class in exchange for their votes and noise.

"Wouldn’t it be much more effective if they gave the impression they were NOT organized and weren’t brought in as a rent a mob? Why wouldn’t they try to appear as though they were there independently?"That would require intelligent, independent action.
They surrendered the will to act independently long ago.
They do what their union steward tells them.
They think living like animals in the zoo is real life.
