Meet Another One of Harry Reid’s “Rent-a-Thugs”: Edward “Eddie” Gering
bg ^ | Mar 31st 2010 | Larry O'Connor

Posted on 03/31/2010 10:03:18 AM PDT by george76

When thousands of peaceful, Tea Party protestors came to Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight, Nev. last Saturday, you would have thought that the favorite son of this hardscrabble, mining town would garner tons of local support. Not so. Members of IBEW Local 357 were called to action to agitate the crowd and, as we’ve previously shown, to hurl eggs at the busses carrying them.

Around 0:18 into the video released last night showing the exploding shell and yolk that came inches from Andrew Breitbart’s face, a loud protestor taunts Breitbart, smiling and mocking his condemnation of the egg-throwing. “Glad you approve!” he sneers, “Thanks, man!”.

He’s holding a megaphone and rallying the crowd with chants of “Health Care for All!” What a tireless advocate for taking other people’s money.

No longer just a face in the crowd… ladies and gentleman this proud Harry Reid supporter is Edward “Eddie” Gering.

Organizing
The first object of the IBEW is to ORGANIZE all the workers in the entire electrical industry. IBEW Local 357 encourages all electrical workers to unite and join the IBEW, because by being united we improve wages, benefits, and working conditions for all in the electrical industry. There are many ways to join. Every Wednesday between 3:00 and 4:45 p.m., we have an open house, to help find a spot in our organization for you. To become a journeyman wireman, you must verify 14,000 hours of commercial or industrial experience as a journeyman wireman, be employed in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, and pass a journeyman wireman examination given by IBEW Local 357. We also offer free journeyman preparatory classes every week in order to evaluate and prepare applicants. If you have any questions about your worker rights, or wish to speak with an organizer about joining the IBEW contact Organizers Jim Halsey, Eddie Gering, Chris Wile or Lamare Jones at (702) 452-9357 ext. 240 for information.

Now that he's been outed, his "value" to the fascists will drop precipitously, and no doubt, so will his overstuffed salary. Welcome to the unemployment lines, Eddie!

I will Not, I

Rhetorical question: What is the difference between fascists and communists? To me the difference is that fascists work for socialism in one country and/or for one people while communists ultimate goal is world socialism. That and fascist economics allows a free market so long as government can step in any time they want to and for any reason — while communist economics is the entirely insane and unworkable system of the government always involved everywhere.

It is ironic that Harry Reid earned his career as a hotshot DA in Clark County taking on thugs and the mob. Now, he has thugs and the mob protecting him.

Anyone laying odds on if the lamestream media will show this? After all, they printed over and over and over undocumented hearsay about Tea Partiers "calling people names". Here's video proof of the left actually doing something that, if done by a Tea Partier, would surely be the first item in ABCNMCCBSMSNBCCNN nightly news broadcasts.

Any way we can call the media on this?

Wrestle with a pig. There have been plenty of societies that met force with force on the streets against the communist and fascist thugs. Spain with Franco and the Communists going at it, Russia with the Whites and the Reds and so forth, Germany with the communists and the fascists. To my knowledge it hasn’t ended well; I may be ignorant of the S. Korean or Chilean experience however. The left doesn’t publicize victories over the collectivists so they may have succeeded in hiding a workeable strategy from us.

That's it: the difference between fascism and communism is that the former has a nationalistic appeal, while the latter claims national identity is a tool used to promulgate "false consciousness" among the proletariat.

All the "who owns what" stuff is irrelevant; the only choices are liberty and coercion.

Oh, I think both Hitler and Mussolini had pretty "global" outlooks for how wide they wanted to spread their versions of command-economics. They were no more, and no less, parochial than the communists were, and are. I think that's the great truth that has been hidden over - mostly by the left/liberals - with too much "erudite" "intellectualism" for far too long: there is no real difference between communism and fascism other than the merely accidental difference in the linguistic and geographic genesis of the terms themselves.

An echo of “All the King’s Men” up there in Nevada?

I’m looking forward to the day when all evil, including this guy, will be wiped off the face of the earth.

I understand what you are saying and why. My view is that there is a real difference in idealogies between the two and they are diffent forms of totalitarianism. Ideas have consequences as they say. I think fascism has proven more workable and is therefore ultimately the greater danger. What has always surprised me is how easily the Yugoslavian communists morphed into Serbian fascists after all the spewing of insults at the fascists for all those years. Look at the history of Mihailo Markovic, publisher of Praxis, for an example of this. It’s also amusing how his fellow academics turned on him and his “narrative” . . .

CPUSA members, as with all who are corrupt, exempt and affiliated with Socialists, Marxists and Homo-Leninists is not about ethics, supporting democracy or the supposed rule of law, it’s all about the ends justifies the means mindset. Little men such as this are not that good when on the receiving end, noting how such Democrats squeal when it’s them.

It would really help if charges were filed, a lawsuit was threatened, and a demand for a public apology.

That's up to the owner of the buses that were egged.

I fail to see any real substantive difference between the end-results of what the Russian totalitarians managed to accomplish under the formalistic name of communism and what the German totalitarians managed to accomplish under the formalistic name of fascism. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ....

Communism is fascism, pure and simple. The left/liberals choose to differentiate the two because that permits them to engage in fascistic behaviour without the Cain's Mark of genocide (which is a bit ironic, and just goes to show the true power of full disclosure, inasmuch as Stalin and the Soviet Communist Party killed way, way more people than Hitler and the Nazis ever did).

Commies and fascists fought like cats and dogs long before genocide was an issue. For this thread the relevant question is which is Reid? Traditionally union thugs were commies while paramilitary thugs were fascist.

Leftist violence, like leftist corruption, is a non-event to the MSM. If they can’t ignore it, they’ll lie about it.
