Union thugs target Republicans.

Monday, October 11, 2004 12:01 a.m.

We may be about to experience an election unlike any we've seen in a while. The Florida recount in 2000 raised passions and blood pressure and featured some demonstrations on both sides, but there was no violence. This year, lots of groups are jostling with each other to monitor the elections in battleground states. For its part, the AFL-CIO has promised to dispatch thousands of election monitors to battleground states to watch for any hint of trouble at polling places. From the initial reports, they may be the ones for have to be watched as potential troublemakers.

I like to think that, but I dunno, man. These polls aren't looking so hot.

I think Bush is holding about 10 aces up his sleeve. I have no inside info, just following my gut. I'm still ready for any 'domestic unpleasantries' that are almost certain to arise ( Can you smell the rhetoric? Whew, it's rank!) regardless of the outcome. Bush wins= "He stole it again. Burn it all, comrade"...Kerry wins = " Ha Ha MFers, it's payback time". Either way, prepare for trouble. Cause it's a comin'

You know how you take care of Union thugs?

You close the company.

It is interesting to see how the MSM ignores this problem. Remember when they gave so much front page space to militias? NYT/WP/LAT are quick to blame the Republicans for creating the "atmosphere of political conflict." Yet it is the arrogrance of the 'Rats that have created this highly charged environment, thinking that they are "entitled" to win. MSM will back-page the union storm trooper action because it would frighten undecideds and thus, hurt Kerry.

Just let some goon try to tell me to 'move along' while I'm at the polls. He'll be straining broth through the wires in his jaw for quite a while. These people have no authority and will not be welcomed

Civil rights lawsuit time--wonder if this could be traced back to Soros? They need money for this kind of effort. The bitter irony of violent oppression by pansy liberals...

I will take my Nu Yawk accent and attitude to Florida to battle these creeps. If they try anything, and I mean anything, they are going to get a taste of their tactics.

The vast majority of these funds come from outside the country. Soros is the face we're allowed to see, and focus our attention on. And violence at the polls? Turnabout is fair play.

Why don't you hear about conservatives fighting back?

My apartment is one floor up and directly above a Republican party office in Arlington Va.

If there was a problem I'd go down and crack some skulls.

The key to controlling a mob is a vicious beating of the "mouth" or the "tough man". The rest will flee when the champion is taken down.

Gee; we all talk pretty tough in here (and I'm right amongst ya); time alone may tell if any of us actually has the grit to back it up with action when the 300 lb. Longshoreman Goons with no necks and lots of tattoos get up in our faces.

I reckon we won't have to wait much longer, do you?

Someone had to fire that first shot at the Bridge at Concord, I suppose. But I don't envy 'em.

Well, I'm 6'2", 230 pounds, and well armed. They'd better send 2 busloads of punks if they want a fair fight. ;)

Of COURSE I talk tough here. This is FR. I feel comfortable expressing my opinion. In a fight, though, I'm always silent.

For some reason it really freaks people out.

I just thought that if you were fighting then the time to talk was after the other guy woke up.

And while I'm only 6'0" and 180, I compensate by biting.

If some goon tries that with me. He will be looking at 4 1/2 inches of carbon hardened steel.

Precisely a savage beating with baseball bats a la Casino style.

A 44 cal S&W Magnum with hollow points is a devastating equilizer.

Personally, I have inserted the business end of a 12-gauge Remington 870 into a Union organizer's left nostril and said, "Good evening, burglar!" when he shoved his way into my house. (The ILGWU was attempting to unionize the company one of my house-mates worked for and being really nasty about it.)
