Service Employees International Union (SEIU) thugs beat Mr. Gladney during a recent St. Louis town hall meeting. His crime in the eyes of a "service" employee was selling paraphernalia celebrating and advocating freedom. For his transgression, Mr. Gladney won a two-day stay at the hospital and the indignation of a racial epithet delivered by the perpetrators of the beating. Mr. Gladney was beaten protesting for freedom from coercion at the hands of a powerful government. Mr. Gladney is a black American. Crispus Attucks, a black American, was one of the first men killed by the British at the Boston Massacre....

August 10, 2009 Figures... Leftists Hurl Racist Insults at Black Man After Horrible Beating On Thursday night, Kenneth Gladney was beaten, kicked and called racist names by Russ Carnahan's SEIU supporters after a town hall meeting in Mehlville, Missouri. Now, the Left is mocking him. The racists at Fire Dog Lake lead the charge with this racist photo of Kenneth the silly black man in a wheelchair: [Pic in URL: Warning] The title of their post says it all: Kenneth the Teabagging Drama Queen (Updated) Not only do these racists mock Kenneth's fragile condition after the beating he endured from...

Even though the the story of Mr. Gladney's beating made the front page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch DRUDGE AND WIRE SERVICES WILL NOT COVER THIS. WHY WILL NO MEDIA OUTLETS COVER A BLACK MAN BEING BEATEN DOWN BY THUGS? Are you paying attention now? Ver. 2 DU, Daily Kos, and FireDogLake all leftists mocking and racially slurring Mr. Gladney. NO MEDIA OULETS WILL REPORT THIS!!!

The first round of protests against the Obama administration's chaotic and rapid-fire expansion of government came in the form of grass-roots "tea parties," which were predictably met with scorn by the Democrat-Media Complex (the natural coalition of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media.) CNN's Anderson Cooper and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow led the charge, declaring concerned Americans "tea baggers," an allusion to an absurd sexual fetish beneath describing in a family newspaper. This attack on hundreds of thousands of people practicing their constitutional right to protest speaks volumes not just about the hardened sociopolitical leanings of America's...

By now you know of the atrocity committed by SEIU union thugs against Kenneth Gladney, a slight, mild-mannered man who sold pins and flags at Russ Canahan's August 6th healthcare town hall in St. Louis. The St. Louis Tea Party immediately organized a demonstration against the St. Louis offices of SEIU, placing the blame for Gladney's injuries exactly where they belonged -- on the head's of Barack Obama and his union goons.

Here is video from a rally today outside the SEIU Union Headquarters today in St. Louis, Missouri. The rally was to protest the beating of Black Conservative Kenneth Gladney who was beaten the other night outside a Rep. Russ Carnahan Health Care Town Hall Meeting. Gladney was reportedly beaten by union supporters of Carnahan wearing SEIU t-shirts. This video shows Gladney sitting in a wheelchair while his attorney reads a statement in his behalf. The attorney said Gladney could not speak because he is taking strong pain medication and still suffering from the beating. Gateway Pundit has much more on...

Imagine that instead of Kenneth Gladney getting roughed up, it was Professor Gates, look at how different these situations are treated in just 2 short weeks...(2 Videos just released)

Last night, as reports began to emerge of unrest at two big health care town halls in Tampa and St. Louis, a man on Twitter claiming to work with SEIU, claimed a handful of arrests in St. Louis had been Obamacare critics, and they'd been arrested for assaulting SEIU members. His report was dutifully repeated by liberals looking to paint the violence as caused by critics of the administration. When I went looking for corroboration of his story, I found something quite different in this report from the Post-Dispatch: Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he...
