The war of words over the transit strike took an ugly turn after Mayor Michael Bloomberg described union heads as "thuggish," a remark some said was racist in the context of a predominantly black union.So if I call you a "thug," and you happen to be Black, I have just made a racist remark? And if you're Jewish and I call you a thug, now I'm anti-Semitic? How about if you're a thug and I call you a thug?

All unions are thuggish. But the interesting thing is the hypocrisy coming from the liberal Bloomberg. Liberals love labor unions. Just not when their members work for the city.

The word "thug" and "union" have been coupled long before the hip hop crowd adopted the word.
Methinks the unionistas protest too much.

Liberal movie makers go to Canada and other countries to avoid high union wages in NY. They are hypocrites of the highest order.

Union Goons, "thugish"???
Why, there must be some mistake!!
This is a further illustration as to why one must never, ever allow a friend to vote RAT (RINO).

And that is pretty ironic that they go to Canada to avoid the unions. I guess Canada is so disfunctional that even union wages are low.

This is nothing compared to the Union Leader I heard interviewed on radio today. He ACTUALLY had the balls to compare the what they're going through to what Rosa Parks did. I kid you not.

Since when is "Thug" a racist slur? I stipulate
that at one time it was....against *Indians*..
from *India*...because that where the Thuggies
came from..an *Indian* cult....But it has long
since stopped being related to *any* race,
*hundreds* of years ago. only to being violent
low brow cultists, that usually work in groups.
To: NormsRevenge
Time to sit back with some popcorn. Bloomberg is not so pure that we need to grieve over seeing him get into a fight with a labor union.

i personaly hate unions as much as terrorists.
missouri is not a right to work state, i have been in 5 unions in my 40+ years of working. was a shop steward in one just so i could negotiate a contract instead of the drunken sot guys who only wanted to strike so they could be off for dear season.
if you are a responsible adult and actually show up to work on time everyday, why pay some vampire leach money to ride around in his neeegosheatin ride.
shake your employers hand and go to work.
man i hate unions.

FIRE THEM!
many of their jobs can be eliminated by upgrading the signals from 1880 standards to todays technology.
many workers have make work jobs that can be done by trained chimps.
