an angry mob that included many ACORN supporters nearly knocked New York state Sen. James Alesi, a Republican, down on the floor and spat in the face of his chief of staff....
The protesters were reportedly upset that two Democratic senators decided to caucus with Republicans, a move that when finalized by the state Senate would hand Republicans control of it. Majority Democrats have shut down the chamber to prevent the transfer of power.

Thank you for posting the truth, as published at spectator.org.
This is the account by the Associated Press, as published today in the Finger Lakes Times:
“Back at the Capitol, more than 150 supporters from two groups closely aligned with Democrats chanted in the Senate lobby, thrusting signs that said: “Senate Not for Sale” and “Voters not Donors.” They referred to the involvement of billionaire B. Thomas Golisano, who has long sought to reform Albany politics and who helped broker the coalition deal.
Coalition senators nervously worked their way through the shouting crowd to reach the Senate doors, which opened just enough to let lawmakers through as the protesters clawed at them. Several Republicans are in their 60s and one, Sen. Thomas Libous, who ran Monday’s parliamentary overthrow, was using a cane Thursday after a flare-up of a herniated disk. Republican Sen. James Alesi of Monroe County said he fell to one knee because of the crush of the crowd and said his top staffer was spat upon.
Senators asked state police to monitor the protestors.”
No mention of an ACORN rent-a-mob. Contrast this nonsense with the democrat reaction when Jeffords and Specter flipped.

I figured they were his partners in crime on election day..or was that black panthers who were intimidating voters. Regardless acorn’s under investigation for good reason.
Well that’s good news! I guess those 20,000 supporters have gotten the attn of lawmakers. I wonder how many members acorn has-—
Here’s a video of so-called grassroots protestors in Albany. Note the talking points and the coordinated mass produced signs (look for the union label). There’s a chant-leader, too.

Is that true?
Several months ago I looked up City Year when I saw their 1st ad. I think Comcast gave them a break on ads. I would think that they are positioning these “public service” ads on FOX to legitimize the ads. Although why they would think people who watched FOX would be fooled escapes me.
This is a Gestapo tactic in America. They're not even hiding it now.
This is perhaps the scariest thing the Obama thugs have done so far and it smacks of dictatorship.
It is disappointing there are only 87 posts to this so far.
Where is the FReeper nation?
March on Washington. September 12. There’s no other place to be on that day.
Third-world country fascism is growing in USA under OBAMA’s rule.
A new kind of affirmative action.
First it looks like South Africa and then like ZIMBABWE...ie no more rule of law and Constitution...Watch out
Don't hold your breath. We now live in a Communist country.
Whats the little weasel with the dread locks and beret suppose to be? Tell me these 2 are not supposed to be intimidating....lmao. Id fart on both those clowns.
This street thuggery is just like 1933 after Hitler and his Nazis got elected.
Until we get some coverage in the MSM we can’t deal with any thugs, including the 10,000 that rioted in S Philly on May 30th that no one heard about.
Obama tolerating the Black Panthers nationally gets the message out, but how is the populace supposed to know if it IS NEVER COVERED?
Speaking of Golisano, for anyone who missed it from August....
Golisano Goes National, Backs Obama
Note to the acronymic oxymoron that is the NYS GOP: If you're supping with Tom, you'd best bring a very long spoon.
LOL. You’ve got to be kidding me...
Truth is funnier (and stranger) than fiction.
Worse coming - Nation of Islam and New Black Panthers
When do we get to do the same thing to : Chris “countrywide” Dodd, John “ABSCAM” Murtha, Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi, Harry Reid,Dick Durbin, Chucky Schumer,Tom Harkin, John Kerry( He served in Viet Nam you know)
I am so sick of this bunch I could scream.
If the country is going to be ruled by mobs,
Dodd and Bawney Frank should be swinging from a bridge over the Potomic for the complicity in the Sub Prime meltdown. Jamie Gorelick and Franklin Raines should join them.
The ex-employees of Indy Mac Bank should visit Schumers house and not leave till he resigns.
Exactly. If they can get us fighting against each other we won't be bothered with going after the real criminals...which are them and their counterparts across the isle.
