By now you know of the atrocity committed by SEIU union thugs against Kenneth Gladney, a slight, mild-mannered man who sold pins and flags at Russ Canahan's August 6th healthcare town hall in St. Louis.
The St. Louis Tea Party immediately organized a demonstration against the St. Louis offices of SEIU, placing the blame for Gladney's injuries exactly where they belonged -- on the head's of Barack Obama and his union goons. See: http://stlouisteaparty.com/

What is amazing is the Post-Disgrace is covering this story...I know from family/friends that the PD is a major league liberal paper.
I want to buy a Gladney flag or shirt...may he quickly get his stuff on the web.
link??
NO ONE HAS AN EXCUSE TO BE ON THE SIDELINES.
Exactly. I'm an old lady, but I've joined a patriots group and am ready to do what I have to. My income doesn't allow a lot of donations, but there's nothing wrong with my ability to heal up from a black eye or a bloody nose.
Fox news DID cover it actually. I love the screenname, but please check your facts first before posting.
“Someone posted an article on an “area denial” non-lethal control system. Wonder if that will be around for a field test on 9/12?”
They wouldn’t dare. Congress would have to take up permanent residence in their bunkers, because there would be no safety among the populace for them or anyone associated with them anywhere else. It would be the modern “Shot heard round the world.”
Our Congress Critters and Senators are canceling or will not have town halls....
So do we protest their offices and or any Obama-leaning apparatus anyway?
With Cameras rolling of course...
St. Louis County police did not release the names of the people arrested outside Bernard Middle School on Thursday night but provided the following details:
-- Two men were arrested for misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching, pushing and holding a man who was handing out American flags and fliers outside the school. (The Gladney incident.)
-- One woman was arrested for misdemeanor assault and destruction of property for allegedly pushing another woman who was recording the events on her cell phone, then grabbing the phone and breaking it. (Shown on the "Are You Paying Attention Now" the perp is an SEIU member video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwxf_2GFOBc)
-- One woman was arrested for interference and resisting arrest. One officer used pepper spray on the woman, police said, when she did not comply with officers' demands. That woman "just would not leave," when asked by officers to back away from the scuffles, said spokesman Rick Eckhard said. She also passively resisted when an officer tried to handcuff her, he said.
-- One man was arrested for peace disturbance when he entered a circle of people who had gathered near the pepper-sprayed woman and refused to comply with officers' demands to leave.
-- Post-Dispatch reporter Jake Wagman also was arrested for allegedly interfering.
RULE 10: "If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive." Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management's wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
Well, I was going to post a comment objecting to the way the reporter describes the arrests. He bends over backwards to insure a new reader concludes that both sides had arrests.
But the “go to comments” button just takes me in circles. Can’t get to comments or a posting page. I think it’s a CONSPIRACY!
It's interesting how close his name (Gladney) is to Gadsden flag.
So I take it we don’t know enough about those last two to determine which side they were on...right?

Somebody out there has the info. If they were Tea Party members, don’t you think we’d know it by now?
Check out this caller to C-SPAN:
Oh yeah, that’s what I’ve assumed all along.
But I didn’t want to assert it in a letter to the reporter unless I could confirm it.
It’s a moot point now because the links at the Post Dispatch don’t work.
If Sebelius really did this she should be removed from office immediately and charged for inciting violence!
Thank you. I specifically want to do some small thing to help and thank Gladney, to acknowledge the grief they put him through.
