Slippery Cenk Suggests Public Employees Need Unions To Negotiate With 'Corporate Executives'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

James Taranto could be the best columnist around. Every day at his Best of the Web at the Wall Street Journal online, Taranto turns out an original, often unconventional, conservative take on the news, managing to leaven it with humor.

Rush today rightly extolled Taranto's column of yesterday, in which he made the point that there is a vast, inherent difference between private and public sector unions. In the former case, unions are negotiating against corporate interests. In the latter, unions are, by definition, organizing against the interests of the public itself.

Surely even Cenk Uygur understands this. So when Cenk suggests, as he did on his MSNBC show this evening, that without unions public employees would be "at the mercy" of "corporate executives," it seems fair to accuse him of . . . fraud.

The more they try and lie about these basic distinctions, the more people will be picking up on what’s going on. The cat, I think is defiantly out of the bag on this one. I don’t see how they’re going to maintain the lie about public sector unions. We just need more conservative legislatures to throw these bum union thugs out.

The Left already owns most Corporate CEO’s and their money and their globalist agenda.
