BEWARE: SEIU’s Purple Army marches on Massachusetts
Michelle Malkin ^ | 01/16/10 | Michelle Malkin

They’ve dumped nearly a $1 million of rank-and-file dues into Martha Antoinette Coakley’s coffers.

They “pulled out all the stops” before the primary and they’ll be throwing all their ground troops into the Bay State over the weekend.

We know how the SEIU thugs operate. I told you in Culture of Corruption about Andy Stern’s organizational motto: “[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.”

They’ll go after Boy Scouts.

And baby-sitters.

And home health-care providers.

They raided their treasury to pour $60-$80 million into Obama and the Democrats’ 2008 campaigns.

They’re not about to roll over and play nice while their 60-vote supermajority slips away.

Hotline On Call reports on the SEIU’s mobilization this weekend. Where are the counterforces?

SEIU has stepped up its involvement in MA in the waning days of the race, sending hundreds of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D).

The union, one of the most powerful arrows in the Dem quiver, is spending $685K on TV ads touting Coakley and slamming state Sen. Scott Brown (R), and a spokesperson for SEIU says it will have 300 volunteers on the ground on Tuesday.

The heightened activity has some GOPers on edge, and at least one group is worried SEIU could be taking over for ACORN as a top organizational tool benefiting Dem candidates.

“This whole thing is turnout, and this looks like the place the SEIU-ACORN folks turn on the turnout machine. They did it in Minnesota, successfully,” said David Norcross, chair of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

The RNLA will send its own volunteers to MA for Election Day, with plans to monitor polling places to prevent any fraud. The group got a tip that SEIU-sponsored buses would be taking voters to the polls, Norcross said. ***

Good idea for counterforces: The local police unions that spurned Coakley for Brown.

Let’s hope the Eric Holder-approved New Black Panther Party thugs aren’t on those SEIU buses.

Speaking of the New Black Panthers, Main Justice spotlights Malik Shabazz’s latest racist rant.

I’m surprised he hasn’t received an Obama czar appointment yet.

I hope that FReepers and associates have their camera at the ready, and cell phones armed with Police phone numbers.

Concealed carry?

If SEIU cracks heads I hope they are wearing their Garments with their logo. People need to see this.

If the union workers had any gonads they would decertify the SEIU and bring this organization down! This isn't the only union they could have represent them if they must have one.

I got a call from Coakley the other day. I just put down the phone and let the machine ramble on. It went for about four minutes. At least the machine couldn’t use up that line calling someone else during that time.

Another little contribution to the cause.

SEIU-sponsored buses would be taking voters to the polls

And then the next polls,

Then the other polls,

Then the 4th set of polls.....

I heard this morning that he’s ahead in every county in the state but Suffolk County. That’s Boston and surrounding areas. Obama may get out some of the minority vote, but I don’t think it’ll be enough to help her. She wasn’t willing to come out and shake people’s hands and talk to people.

As much as I disliked Kennedy, I’ll say this for him, he never tired of being on the stump and was always among ordinary people. After he won elections, he would stand outside train stations, shaking people’s hands thanking them for voting for him. A real old-time politician in the best sense of the word.

Coakley is an elitest who thinks the seat should be handed to her. At least Kennedy earned it term after term.

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 democrat, 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 fists
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

Me thinks that if I was a voter in Massachusetts I would be very wary of uniformed New Black Panther party members carrying clubs at critical polling places. With the current Justus Department and their past history of allowing the NBP to act outside the law, they have cart blanc to intimidate the voters all they want. With them AND purple shirts of SEIU Coakley is a shoo in.

While the Supreme Court is busy looking at the NFL perhaps they could cast a glance over towards SEIU and examine THAT monopoly. And I thought CFR locked out this sort of interference this close in ... or like cadillac healthcare taxes does that only apply to us?

“Not one Coakley call has come in.”

That’s because they have left Mass and are now calling people in New Jersey to vote for Coakley.

(a freeper in NJ got a call asking for his vote)
