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.”

Seriously unfunny, even if he’d meant to include the elephant (he meant to include the jackass).

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.

So how will you do that? Refuse to get or renew your drivers license? What about getting a marriage license. This union does not PRODUCE anything. They are janitors, courtroom clerks, DMV clerks and the like. (Mind you, not all courtroom clerks belong to SEIU. The clerks in Orange County CA certainly do not, for instance.)

Darn it, I wish there was a HC forum somewhere near Sacramento.

If anyone plans to attend any of these town hall meetings please bring a camera. If you happen to witness any of these thugs using these tactics try to get a clear photo of their face, without putting yourself in danger of course. Do not engage them. Post the photos either here on FR with the details or if the Mods wont't permit it or if you feel safer then PM me and I'll tell you where you can e-mail them. This BS will not stand.

No they are the new SA. (Brown Shirts) When the time comes, the SEIU, just like the SA, will get a knife in the back and the true SS (whatever that will be) will come forward.

The Sebelius call represents Administration approval of what the SEIU has done. This had to come straight from the White House. This is an outrage, and should be loudly stated as being an outrage. If you want to lose your freedom, just let this bit of Administration thuggery pass without comment.

So how will you do that?

I said "to the best of my ability" and "any union I am able to identify these thugs as belonging to". I know I can't be 100% especially with government, but enough of us doing the best we can may make an impact.

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

It’s only a political mistake if we do nothing. If we let the Obama Administration get away with this thuggery, we’ve lost - lost America, for that matter. We’ll become another Venezuela. Freedom of speech is inconvenient for the Democrats in the Administration and Congress, who insist on having their own way.

See post #73, this does come from the White House.

could you please link me to the “Sebelius call” info.

Busy day, I want to nail my former gov, when I get the chance!

But, not sure how she fits into this just yet.

Larger! Perhaps. More stupid, for sure. Not a problem.

Zerrhoid throws black people under the bus when they’re conservative. Look how liberals treated “Uncle Tom” Clarence Thomas!

I have a suspicion that, when the tide finally turns into a tsunami, union goons like those SEIU thugs will be the first to “go under”...

Justice will not come from Øbozo's "Department of 'Justice'" (read, "'Enforcement'").

Justice will come when Americans have finally had enough -- and leave a carpet of union T-shirts in the streets.
