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.”

Once it starts no one knows where it will end. History tells us it can only be a disaster.

This is inevitable. Once it starts, events will take on a life and a momentum of their own. This will be one reality that no one can evade.

DEFCON 1

"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."

The last 250 years have been marked by the demise of those foolish or brazen enough to misjudge the file line that separates outraging the average American and enraging them. When enraged the gates of hell have not stood against them.

Chill out guys. Lurker is one of us. He just used the wrong image. There are two diffent images out like that, one has the republican “elephant” and the other has the democrat “jackass.” He didn’t check the background first.

I agree this is not a tactile mistake. This is how thugs consolidate power - through violence and intimidation.

Obama is a thug calling out his muscle.

Note that in Iran, to beat down the protesters after the election they called on shadow militia groups and not the official law enforcement or military.

This may be the start of bringing Obama and his administration down

It better be soon before he organizes the civilian security force, larger and better equipped than the regular army!!!

More proof that we must not buy anything made by any union, no matter what. I stand by my assertion that buying anything made in China is far more patriotic than buying anything made by any union worker in the USA.

The boycott word was used repeatedly on the thread re the “union label.” I’m on board!

I understand the SEIU has around 300 branches across the USA just waiting for a friendly visit. Bring a copy of the Health Care Bill along. Open it to the text that concerns you, and ask what those words mean. Methinks they are not prepared to give an answer other than obfuscation.

We in Chicago know that these intimidation tactics work only in the Obama neighborhood.
The SEIU plunged Zer0’s head into dog doo-doo.

These tactics worked 80 yrs ago and still prevail
in the hard core south side but Chicagoans ,though they vote democrat, do not tolerate thuggish behavior once it is known.

Today street thugs are not nedded the real corruption and bullying occurs at the very top.

Here is hoping Mr. Gladney gets a nice settlement check and is able to retire in style!

Thank you Mr. Gladney for exercising your rights by trying to engage in a bit of Free Enterprise.

Its too bad you got caught in the crossfire but I hope the court system awards you well!

Disclaimer: I am not defeatist.

Nothing will come of this. There will be no prosecutions, unlikely that charges will even be filed.

The Black Panther thugs on election day. What was the guys name that was knocked down at a rally or protest years ago, I think in NJ. My brain says Don Adams but my memory has been getting faulty of late. I can't recall any instances where our side was assaulted and their side was prosecuted. I would like to say otherwise but the libs have controlled the courts for quite a while now, and you will have a hard time prosecuting any lib in a lib friendly court.

This will be pushed aside, action delayed, put on the back burner, and then months from now, quietly, without fanfare, dismissed.

If President Obama doesn’t invite Kenneth Gladney, the black man roughed up by people at a town hall meeting to the White House for a beer, you will know who he is! No question that he will not. He will not even mention it. He is not for black people, he is not for the poor, he is not for the down trodden in any way.

Come on Obama, prove me wrong. Mention this poor man and his injuries without politics. Mention that the people who attacked him did something wrong. Mention that they weren’t African American. Bet you don’t. Bet you don’t hear a word out of any Democrat about what was done to that poor man. I have been watching these people for a lot of years. They are dollar store trinkets! If you want something real, vote them out next election.

If I am wrong, you will see this addressed by the Democratic Party. Dollars to doughnuts you don’t.
