A group of about 200 union protesters overwhelmed security at a Washington, D.C. hotel and barged into a mortgage banking meeting on Wednesday, according to the Huffington Post.
HuffPo says protesters dressed in hardhats and overalls yelled “Where are the jobs?“ and ”Where is the money?“ as they pushed through security in a ”scrum” and burst into a conference room of stunned bankers. The protest was reportedly aimed at the Pulte Group — which protesters say has received $900 million in tax breaks but has not created a sufficient number of jobs.
“Those tax breaks were supposed to create jobs,” Wayne Peworchik, one of the protesters, told HuffPo. “That was President Obama‘s and Congress’s intent.”

Thugs. Of course there will be no prosecution from the “justice” department.

Gee, what ever happened to the union thugs who beat down a Patriot handing out the Don’t Tread On Me Flags?

I have had the same thing happen where I work. Our local Soros type of community action group are the ones doing it, not unions.
They are doing this crap to increase their fund raising.

At some point these kind of tactics will backfire on them.

“Where are the jobs?“ and ”Where is the money?“
Ask your leadership you morons.
Looks like they're winding up the threats and intimidation again. Tomorrow they're "targeting" the home of a DC area developer. Here is the flier.

They should be shot dead whenever they pull crap like this. Be patient, that's coming.

This is theater folks. They are all in bed together. Smaller and medium sized banks are usually decent. The big banks like all of TV are s**t. They are in with Obama especially Citicorp, Bank America and Buffett’s Wells/Wachovia.

This president supposedly emulates Lincoln, and anyone who has done more than a cursory study of the summer of 1861, the original "Summer of Rage" directed particularly at the ancient Democrat press North of the Mason-Dixon Line (in Maryland and Pennsylvania particularly), would find this kind of mob-led direct action disturbingly familiar.

And yet a lot of these bankers were big Obama supporters who stuck their snouts in the public trough and now are making a fortune. I agree that the union thugs are being thugs and should be arrested but these crony capitalist bankers who took bailouts don’t get my sympathy.
