From the link:

"We want to send a clear message to Bush, we want him to take his hands off our overtime pay," protestor Esmeralda Heuilar said.

Local 6 News learned that most of the protestors were from the AFL-CIO and were taking part in one of 20 other coordinated protests around the country.

Union Thugs. I would have expected the unwashed rent a mob crowd, but I can't say I'm surprised at the Union involvement either, since they've been involved in other incidents.

Also from the story linked

And the video says that the "demonstration" in Miami also involved an invasion of the Republican office.

Definitely time for RICO prosecutions, and armed campaign workers.

There were plenty of rent-a-mob groups during President Bush's inauguration in January, 2001. The organizers of such groups have been spewing their hatred and improving the coordination of their efforts since then. With a vastly improved computer technology today, what we are now seeing is a culture war far more serious and deadly, and better organized than that which occurred during the 1960's-1970's. The liberals' "long march through the institutions" is now being waged in earnest, on all fronts. There are more millionaires and billionaires contributing to, if not also initiating, these horrific "causes." And by posing as "centrists" they can very easily create an illusory shift in the political spectrum that makes us look like far-right extremists and lunatics. Just remember, WE are NOT the ones who engage in random acts of violence and senseless brutality. Candidate Kerry was part of the "BE THERE" crowd then. And now he is the pick of the litter of American "values," 2004-style.

"A constitutional republic, IF we can keep it." No doubt, this innocuous and eminently rational statement is what makes us unstable extremists.
