"They tipped their hand too soon" Tea Party vs. SEIU makes front page in St. Louis
St. Louis Post Dispatch, St. Louis Tea Party, My comments ^ | 8/9/2009 | GVnana

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/

Posted just a couple of nights ago a freeper had read 500 pages and posted the synopsis of them....I haven’t been able to find it since. But IIRC there is a section that regarding the unions. Giving them preferencial benefits...We need to find it and keep it handy/ ditribute it to freepers going to meetings.

By giving the "go ahead" to union thugs, the Obama administration made it plain that they would not accept any public comment on the government takeover of healthcare. Because the incident in St. Louis was so graphic, and early in the game, their tactics are now infamous.

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.

NOTE: The picture above is the actual, un-retouched picture from the SEIU web site. It looks like they used Stephen King as the photographer.

Do they look like thugs? I would say yes. Do they look formidable? No, not particularly.

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.
