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.

They are showing it now!

I have a question: why would this "workshop" be taxpayer funded?

[Hank Rearden]

I just saw the video on Fox.

Hospital? For what - a hangnail? That was nothing. Cease the overblown hyping, please.

It all looks like Union thugs. The Davis payoff in action.

If only Ah-nold would have been there......

Ping

[Burkeman1]

Yup- I saw it on Fox News.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Has anyone actually SEEN Gray Davis since Arnold declared his candidacy? Davis has been awfully quiet.

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

Arnold?

[Hank Rearden]

Regardless, what's this "hospital" crap about? Six-year-olds tussling on the playground are more violent.

[bootless]

Sent this to David Gold ... live show on KSFO now.

[MinuteGal]

Jeez, what's wrong with Fox! Their banner under the fight clip states "Fight between anti-Davis and pro-Davis demonstrators".

It should read "Pro-Davis demonstrators ATTACK anti-Davis demonstrators.

What the hay?????

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup. The Union thugs in dark blue t-shirts, the anti-Davis in white (good guys wear white!). One thug was trying his best to start a fisticuffs (but then a truck or SUV gets in the way of the camera for a few seconds) but looks like he didn't get any. Mostly it looked like some pushing and shoving.

[friendly]

The Davis' motorcade zips around CA at 94 MPH, his thug supporters treat their political dissenters with a fist to the face? Me thinks someone thinks he's above the law and the will of the people.

I especially love the taxpayer funded anti-recall campaign, organizing brutal thugs. Rats and trial lawyer vermin are all of the opinion that the law is only for the little people.

What was printed in yellow on the back of the blue shirts. It looked like "Painters Union...". I saw the clip several times but could not make it out.

[Timesink]

POSSIBLE Fox News link, still unconfirmed.

FoxFan ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list.

How do you know that the short clip shown on Fox was the entire altercation?

If anyone was taken to the hospital, there had to be more to it than this. Maybe???
