Protester beaten by union goons at town hall speaks; SEIU releases attack ad against“teabaggers”

Sounds like the beating was worse than we thought, but that’s what he gets for being a “political terrorist.” His lawyer’s promising a civil suit against the goons and possibly SEIU itself if he can prove that they were intimidating people and “starting trouble” at the union’s behest. Here’s a little something for the jury from one of their directors down in Tampa last night:

Asked earlier today about possible disruption at the event, Kim Diehl of SEIU said, “We’re prepared. We have strategies to deal with it if it should come up.”

Indeed they do. Be sure to read the boss’s post about some of the pleasantries that were exchanged this afternoon on Sebelius’s conference call with SEIU. Hint: It involves a cabinet officer of the United States government sitting silently by while a union capo accuses protesters of “terrorist tactics.”

I will to the best of my ability boycott the products produced by any union I am able to identify these thugs as belonging to.

I can’t begin to tell you what a political mistake this is.

Obama and Emmanuel are using tactics appropriate to Cuba and Venezuela.

This is a tactical mistake. They believe that intimidation will stop the protests and energize their base.

By not understanding that their voters were comprised of people who simply had enough of Bush, and not a mandate for Obama, they have now allienated people completely.

Everyone needs to go with friends to these meetings, and everyone should have at least one recording device with them. Someone should have a videocam. then you can copy this over to a dvd and/or cd-rom for copying and preserving and for copies to file as evidence.

One of these days ...someone is going to pull a knife or a gun...someone...and then its going to be Fort Sumter all over again. Once it starts no one knows where it will end. History tells us it can only be a disaster.

This may be the start of bringing Obama and his administration down. It’s really time to starting indicting and convicting these people.

Boycott anything made by a union that you can identify, especially the autos and trucks.

They work just like they’re paid, ie, “not much” and “once a month”

SEIU told their memebers to show up, told them to wear their t-shirts. The guys who beat him up are clearly wearing those t-shirts. IT’s clear to me that SEIU acted recklessly in setting up the situation. Combined with their leadership’s calls for punch back twice as hard and you’ve got a multi-million dollar lawsuit that the media will never ever cover.

If you have a Youtube account, please post up at these SEIU or others vids to show shupport for the TeaParty and against the thugs. If you dont have a youtube account get one and post up there. The ‘war” is fought on many fronts and YouTube is just one of them. Do your part!

So when exactly is Obama going to declare that the SEIU had acted stupidly and this is a teachable moment? Or isn't a conservative American who happens to also be black, worth defending?

This is a tactical mistake. They believe that intimidation will stop the protests and energize their base.

They are using the same tactics they used to use in Chicago.

Thing is...Chicago is something like 85% liberal. They are dealing with a different constituency nationwide. More like 50-50.

I hope they keep going with this. And they will because they know no other way.
