The Purple People Beaters
Human Events ^ | 8/13/2009 | Ernest Istook

Posted on 08/13/2009 8:18:08 AM PDT by markomalley

That would be the purple-shirted members of the SEIU--the Service Employees International Union—who (literally) swung into action outside a town hall meeting in Missouri and became infamous on YouTube and national media.

“Town Hall Protestor Roughed Up by SEIU Members” read one headline. The legal system will sort out what happened to David Gladney, the victim of the attack. But public opinion will sort out whether SEIU is sending thugs to town halls.

The union “Purps” also turned out in force at President Obama's town hall in New Hampshire. SEIU brought its people in by chartered buses after getting special tickets from the White House.

And why shouldn’t the president give ‘em freebie tickets? He owes them! After all, the SEIU spent $61-million to help elect him. The union also set aside $10-million to push Obama’s agenda in its post-election “Change That Works” campaign, and pledged more, including 30% of the union's resources and hiring over 1,000 workers in 35 states.

A call out to YouTube experts.

Someone needs to create a video of SEIU violence to the song “Purple People Eater”. Better yet, if someone could do that to a parody of the song with the lyrics changed to “purple people beater” (and the rest of the lyrics appropriatly changed) it would be very powerfull.

Is there anyone that can do it?

How do you think they prevent their customers from seeking competitive bids? They use violence and intimidation. This is what they do.

The Purple People Beater (sung to the tune of The Purple People Eater)

Well I saw the thing comin’ out of the left
It wore a union label, and yelled a threat
I commenced to shakin’ and I said “ooh-eee”
It looks like a purple beater to me

It was a S E I U union purple people beater
(S E I U union purple people beater)
A democrat, left-wing, union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

Well he came into town and he came up to me
I said Mr. Purple People Beater, don’t beat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn’t beat you cuz you’re too tough

It was a S E I U union purple people beater
(S E I U union purple people beater)
A democrate, left-wing, union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

I said Mr. Purple People Beater, what’s your line
He said it’s beatin’ honest people and it sure is fine
But that’s not the reason that I came to land
I wanna beat people for Obama my man

Well bless my soul, pipe and club, union purple people beater
Weather underground, union purple people beater
(S E I U)
Union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung his fists knocking people to the ground
He started to fight, kicking people around
He sung a crazy ditty as he swung his fitsts
Singing boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

Well bless my soul, pipe and club, union purple people beater
Weather underground, union purple people beater
(S E I U)
Union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was fighting it out, a’really knockin’ em dead
Pushing down old ladys and kickin’ them in the the head

(clarinet solo)

Tequila

The Purple People Beaters

It's funny but I've always hated the color Purple.
That is, along with UN Blue that they use for their Helmets and Berets.

The only thing those colors are good for are targets.

I tell you, these folks must be getting paid enough to eat out a lot.

Either that, or the Cheetos in the vending machines are free.
