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.

Re: This was definitely not a good move for the dems.

Somewhere along the line a dem strategist was thinking . . . "let's resort to common thuggery. It'll be good for our cause"

WTF were they thinking ? Remember, Unions go where they're told and beat up on who they're told to hit.

What did Davis know, and when did he know it ?
Was this a Davis sponsored hit?
When did Davis give the order ?

Be sure to have lots of video cameras and digital cameras when you protest in the future.

Well, true! Basic to the leftist Governments is to sacrifice the many for the sake of the few (themselves) (my apologies to Star Trek). And it doesn't matter how many people have to be impoverished, or to die, for the few to be maintained in power and luxury.

Posting this here because there is no thread on it.

Davis was supposed to answer questions after his bill-signing in Santa Monica. He slunk away to avoid the press.

Fox is also showing video (mostly audio) of Arianna Huffington knocking over the microphone stand on her way out of the state building just as Arnold was going to address the media. She broke the darn thing and Arnold had to hold it up while he spoke.

I was going to post that earlier, and I got side tracked on some other comment. A couple of years ago when I stood with other Freepers at Blackstone/Shaw in Fresno during the aftermath of the 2000 election, I made the comment that people need to have cameras and video cameras with them. This is true now more than ever!

In the future, any demonstration attended by Free Republic people should have a LOT of video recorders around! The RAT thugs might destroy some but they won't get them all.

And be extremely careful about what you tell reporters from the liberal papers. They will do their best to twist your words!
