Union thugs try to silence critics of Obamacare | Washington Examiner »
Posted By RTHTGakaRoland 4 months ago in Political News
To hear the White House and its Democratic congressional allies tell it, Americans who have vigorously questioned their representatives about Obamacare are nothing more than paid protesters organized by right-wing extremists and evil corporations determined to stop health care reform in its track.
But the reality is that when it comes to organizing angry mobs, the real professionals work at the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). This union has organizing resources and experience that ordinary citizens can only dream about. Their goon squads have heckled, harassed and even assaulted concerned citizens who favor less-costly private options to government-run health care.
Just ask Kenneth Gladney, the victim of an assault outside of a town hall meeting in St. Louis last week by a group of thugs wearing purple t-shirts emblazoned with the SEIU logo.

You sound scared of them. Are you and if so why?
Reply
If these people who are outraged are just paid shills then why is the bill not being passed as we speak?
Why is support for this bill so low?
Why is support for the POTUS and Congress dropping like a stone in the water?
My advice, saying that someone cannot read, write or spell in a comment littered with grammatical errors is not the best way to look intelligent. I'm just saying. -

--Wow...How quickly 8 years of "The Decider" vanish from a con's memory. What happened to the days when Bush was just the bestest because he didn't let public approval influence his decision-making? Cons? ;-P -

"Americans who have vigorously questioned their representatives"
Reply
Screaming and ranting over the top of people who genuinely want to discuss and question their representatives isn't "vigorously questioning," it's plain and simple thuggery. -

Geez. There haven't been union thugs in decades.

"Just ask Kenneth Gladney, the victim of an assault outside of a town hall meeting in St. Louis last week by a group of thugs wearing purple t-shirts emblazoned with the SEIU logo."
This is a probably a case of mistaken identity. The guys with the shirts could have been "astroturfers" wearing SEIU shirts, trying to make liberals look bad. It is feasible that they thought they could use one of their own (Kenneth Gladney)as a sacrificial lamb as a means to further their cause. Astroturfers thought they could make SEIU's tough goons their scapegoats. (goons - building cleaning and security industries, including janitors, superintendents, maintenance workers, window cleaners, and doormen and women, to name a few). Scary thugs, those bad a-s-s janitors.
Doesn't the racist (see avatar) who posted this article know that you can't trust the right-wing media? The right-wing media practices corporate brotherly love. They're in bed with the health insurance industry, and promote their brothers agenda by publishing their propaganda using immoral journalism tactics.
Geez. -

SEIU 'victim' Kenneth Gladney wants his case prosecuted as a 'hate crime'
Reply
Kenneth Gladney is doing his best to cash in on his 15 seconds of fame, following his fake "brutal assault" at the hands of SEIU supporters outside a St. Louis "town hall" on health care. Today he went on Fox and Friends with his attorney, Dave Brown, who announced that he wanted local prosecutors to pursue the case as a "hate crime."

Just a minor detail for the right wingers out there. Because the above video comes to us courtesy of Cluster Fox News, you know it must be true.
