Tampa Tribune reports more thugs in action at Bush/Cheney Campaign Sites.

Isn't their loitering laws or anything. Tell them to GTFO if they aren't going to do anything.

Here's some quotes from another article about this.

"Countered South Florida AFL-CIO president Fred Frost: "It was as civil as it gets.'"

"Debra Booth, president of the Central Florida AFL-CIO, described the protest as "peaceful'"

If there are any union members in florida here, you may want to contact these people to let them know what you think.

Debra Booth - Central Florida AFL-CIO (407) 649-8557

Here's an e-mail for Fred Frost's branch

And here's an email for journalist Mark Schlueb at the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Well, well. This explains the gunshots into a Bush campaign office earlier today.

Nice people, those leftists....

[DJ MacWoW]

Democrats are at their best when they can frighten people. Their candidates use the tactic and so do their voters. Scare tactics or intimidation it's all the same to them.

>>The demonstrators did not disrupt business, said Rob Ray, Hillsborough County Democratic Party vice chairman. <<

And how, pray tell, would he know that?

[weegee]

Protesters stayed in the public area of the headquarters

Is this a civic owned building? If not, they were tresspassing.

[Clump]

The media must cover this!! If it were pro-lifers or pro-gunners doing this to the DUmmies operations there would be 24-7 coverage on all the networks. This is as big a story as rathergate.

A DAY IS COMING FOR THESE COMMUNISTS...

Vote Bush Nov. 2!

[ApesForEvolution]

Lefty Loony Communist Rats...they're real close to biting off just enough to choke dead on.

``That's what they always try to say about working people - that when you demonstrate together for a cause, you're being a mob or a thug,'' Ray said

Ray the pinhead doesn't seem to grasp the concept of unlawful restraint. Preventing campaign workers from leaving is the act of a thug.

[Chummy]

A similar mob attacked the Bush-Cheney HQ in Orlando, too:

I agree. It is similar to the harrassment and intimidation that goes on in Latin America.

[orangelobster]

Linda Chavez has a book out now titled "Betrayal" which catalogues the unions corrupt financing and support of the Democrats. It also details the violent tactics they use. I recommend it highly.

[AF68]

Give these union thugs some brown shirts and swastika armbands and send them back to 1934 Nazi Germany.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Thanks for the recommendation. I will read it!

[magglepuss]

Come on folks.
Carter reviewed the elections in Venezuela and concluded all was on the up & up.
These break-ins are only the will of the people.
UP, UP, and AwAY!

[Free Trapper]

The thugs are lucky they didn't get shot.

"Some" heads are cooler than mine,I guess.

[magglepuss]

It's for the greater good ,I'm sure.
We are just too shallow to grasp their opinions.

Here's a link to contact the national office of the AFL-CIO

http://www.aflcio.org/siteguides/contactus.cfm

John Sweeney, the President of the AFL-CIO needs to make a public statement explaining how it came to be that this was coordinated at multiple bush/cheney offices. He also needs to provide an apology to the campaign workers and President Bush. I hope he is criminally prosecuted, but I'm not holding my breath.
