Going “Toe-to-Toe” with The Organized Left Michigan CSE protests Senator Levin’s blocking of judicial nominees
Brighton, MI - The powerful Union forces of the organized left were in for shock when they encountered a highly organized and well-poised group of CSE activists at an annual event featuring U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-MI). The Michigan Chapter of CSE turned out the troops to demonstrate opposition to Levin’s blocking of the federal judicial nominations made by President Bush.
The rally was headed by Steve Williams, a Michigan CSE Volunteer Chapter Leader (VCL). At a moments notice, Steve was able to mobilize the local chapter and turn out a dedicated bunch of CSE activists to counter Union opposition and speak out in favor of judicial nominees with responsible, free-market backgrounds.
According to Williams, “Chief Justice Rehnquist has complained that the slow pace of judicial appointments is impeding justice, and we’re here to help speed up the process. It is important to have a good, stable constructionist judiciary to have a good economic climate. We need judges who respect the private sector and property rights, and we need them in place now. We want to make sure Senator Levin gets that message.”
The protest was interrupted by Union representatives who resented the CSE led demonstration. But while leftist Union forces accosted protesters and engaged in verbal and physical threats in an effort to intimidate them, CSE activists proudly stood their ground in the name of lower taxes, less government, and more freedom.
Centered around a popular issue on a national scale, the event caught the attention of numerous local media outlets including WHMI radio, The Livingston County Press & Argus and The Ann Arbor News eager to hear CSE’s argument in the debate surrounding Bush’s judicial nominations.
There's all of us right there.
That's mild mannered Steve Williams giving an interview. He ran for state rep in 02 until he was called up to serve our country. He's a good guy and has my vote if he runs in 08.
There's the union thugs. The guy with the hand in the camera is the bigmouth that threatened us. Notice the muscle behind him in a tank top? This was a dem fundraiser for Carl Lenin. Don't people usually wear suits and ties to these events? Think about his role...
There are a few more pics at the link above.
I was at a friend's place today, and I saw the pictures of the event there. He recognized the pics as the bigshots of the carptenters union. I met them once before and knew they looked familiar. These folks were the ones described in my link above. The jerk with his hand to the camera threatened to 'eat us', among other things.
BTW - If you don't like these thug tactics, let them know. Payback is a you know what. If these jerks are going to threaten to 'eat us', send an army to our frontyards, and take down my license plate number, well, it's only fit to pay em back.

This was our first event.
The guy behind him in the tank top looks like that wrestler guy... Hulk Hogan(?).
Hmm, must be one of Clinton's cronies. :-)
Gotta agree with you about his rent a thug. He is quite scary looking, and certainly dressed oddly for an official bodyguard type. Looks more like a bar bouncer like Craig Livingstone, Hillary's rent a thug.
That's the whole point, and he was QUIET, too. That tells me he probably can fight, since good fighters don't brag about how tough they are.
That's an insult to turkeys. I like turkeys. Good eating.

Bwahahahahahah. It's the stashe.
It's great :)
oh, and...Encore! Encore!
It is indeed. Excellent work. :-)
Judging by that triple chin, I'd wager he could make good on that threat.
