Hubby scouted out the SEIU union goon rally that took place today in Hartford, CT at 12 noon (part of the purple bus SEIU tour).
He says there were "a few hundred" pro-union goons there. (He said the WFSB Channel 3 reporter estimated 400-500).
Speakers were yelling and foaming at the mouth about how Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is bad, the private sector is evil, "Wall Street caused all the financial problems we have now - not teachers", Fox News lies, the Koch brothers are bad, tax the rich, yadda yadda yadda.
Usual parade of class warfare rhetoric...
Several "Scott Walker is a Communist" signs... one said "Scott Walker is a Communist Spy", LOL! Several "Tax the Rich" and "Fox News Lies" signs of course.
Socialists were passing out their literature at the rally.
He overheard the goons talking about a union stewards' meeting tonight: "We are getting lists together of people to contact." In other words, they are "organizing".
There's a national notice put out by the unions in general (Hubby couldn't specify which one): The unions are holding "emergency rallies" in all state capitols THIS SATURDAY, February 26th. There was lots of excitement buzzing through the crowd about a "star speaker" for this Saturday's rally in Hartford, CT: Some socialist woman from Madison, Wisconsin.
Susan Bysiewicz (uber-liberal former CT Secretary of State and current candidate for US Senate) spoke, but hubby didn't stay to listen to all of her whiny blathering... usual class warfare crap.
Hubby said there was a large bank of TV / other media cameras - about eight - many more than we've ever seen at any of our tea parties. He quizzed a couple of the local TV reporters to see if they had also covered the many tea party rallies we've attended in Hartford since 2009. A couple of the reporters piped up: "We were there! We covered the tea parties."
The most glaring, noticable thing at today's union thug rally in Hartford: NOT ONE AMERICAN FLAG
Hubby said it would be "interesting" for our people to show up at these "emergency rallies" all over the US this Saturday, and simply stand off to the side - away from these union thugs - holding thousands of AMERICAN FLAGS. The contrast would be glaring!
bttt
So I guess all that “new civility” Husein was preaching after AZ is out the window now? Who’d have thunk it.
SEIU brought to you by TAXPAYER STIMULUS MONEY. We’ve been robbed.

Excellent idea! Every Tea Party I’ve attended had many American flags.
Thanks for the ping!
