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/

Thanks for the ping!
I know it wouldn’t help but if that fat ass did that near me I would have clocked him hard.
**Note To SEIU**
An eye for an eye!
You crossed the line!
Patriots attending Tea Party protests should take a page from the Jewish Defense League when they would counter-protest the Neo-Nazis...bring some large friends with them who can handle themselves in “tense” situations.
I read that and was going to save it but there is a part where unions are exempt.
I have Federal Employees insurance for life but I am still against this plan. It is wrong for Americans. Not to mention I can see the Democrats telling the Federal insurers what they can and cannot cover. I don’t trust them one bit.

Hold on. I’m posting as a separate thread. Deserves wide distribution.
Do they look like thugs? I would say yes. Do they look formidable? No, not particularly.
Axelrod had a busy weekend....
Well how about since they’re beating people up that aren’t in the SEIU, how about a little stealth recon at an event? Use these - http://seiu.imagepointe.com/Search-men.aspx?CategoryID=19 SEIU shirts.
You won’t get any dates. :)
