RECALL SUPPORTERS ATTACKED IN SACRAMENTO

PROTEST AT TAXPAYER-FUNDED ANTI-RECALL WORKSHOP TURNS VIOLENT - DAVIS THUGS ATTACK RECALL SUPPORTERS

ATTACK CAUGHT BY FOX NEWS CHANNEL CREW

Charges To Be Filed as Recall Supporters Rushed to Emergency Room

(SACRAMENTO) – Recall Gray Davis supporters were violently attacked a little more than one hour ago by Gray Davis supporters. Those who were assaulted have been taken to a local hospital emergency room in Sacramento.

A protest was underway against taxpayer-funded “Workers Against the Recall” workshops that were being led by a coalition of labor union organizations including the publicly-funded University of California Institute for Labor and Employment (UC ILE). The UC ILE received $4,000,000 of taxpayer’s money in the budget signed by Governor Davis one week ago (Saturday).

Protestors were across the street from the event marching peacefully when Davis supporters rushed across J Street in Downtown Sacramento and began beating recall supporters. Davis thugs also attempted to steal and destroy “YES on RECALL” signs from recall supporters.

“Gray Davis’ anti-recall campaign continues to stoop to new levels. The use of taxpayer money to fight the people’s recall campaign is revolting. The use of violence and physical attacks against recall supporters is disgusting and reprehensible. We call on Governor Davis to save any last shred of decency he has and condemn the use of violence against innocent citizens,” declared Recall Gray Davis spokesman, Joe Wierzbicki who was present at the protest.

California (Hollyweird) introduced the rest of America to reality TV.

Joe Millionaire and Big Brother have morphed into Arnold Governor and Union Thugs

It's going to be a hot summer. Remember that in California the hot temperatures can last until the end of September; the hot tempers by October 7 will might make Florida 2000 mild in comparison.

Fox News Channel has aired a clip of the attack once so far. We are trying to get a copy of the footage from their legal department for identification of the assailants.

Numerous media outlets have been talking to us... we'll see what happens here. We are furious. Gray Davis and his thugs are obviously frustrated that it is all crumbling down around them. They are lashing out and deserve to go to jail.

[Verax]

Read it again.

Fox News showed a clip about 20 minutes after it took place. Claudia Cowan is the reporter. She said it will be showed throughout the day.

[AAABEST]

Union thugs.

Why don't leftists ever get violent around me. I would love this.

[Chi-townChief]

Where's the link to the story?

[freedumb2003]

Sorry if I missed the reference -- I hit the link and all I saw was Arnold. Can anyone give me a more direct link to a story or video? Or did I just miss Fox's info?

This is seriesly hugh!
