The hits keep coming…
MoveOn.org pro-union thugs screamed F*** you at a group of tea partiers in Georgia and then crossed the street and attacked them. A petite elderly woman was shoved by the attacking leftist goons.
From the video: On Sat Feb. 26, Moveon Gwinnett sponsored a solidarity rally to support public sector unions. The “save the American Dream” rally at the Georgia state capitol was a time to rail against Republicans, Scott Walker, tea parties, and anyone who questioned the union and other leftist movements. As the event closed and participants approached tea party activists counter-protesting half a block away, the police made an effort to separate the two groups, but some union supporters went around the barriers and attacked the tea party protesters. A man assaulted a petite older woman and a Tea Party guy, and directed many hateful remarks towards the tea party activists. From misspelled signs and hokey songs, to f-bombs and violence, these union supporters had a big day!
Don’t expect the media to report on this attack.
It doesn’t fit their agenda.

The demos said it was time to get bloody. I too think it is time for these Democrat thugs to bleed.

We knew this was going to happen when the repubs won last November; the Left can’t take defeat lying down. It may, in fact, become much worse.

I wouldn’t exactly call her petite, but they shouldn’t have touched her.

Hope someone puts all these vids together, like a “Libs Gone Wild”.

It already is much worse. Democratic politicians are trying to do away with the rule of law in the United States:
The lawmakers in exile call this a defense of democracy. In truth, it’s a step toward anarchy. If it catches on as a practice, it will officially end government by, of and for the people…
It’s part of a disturbing trend by Democrats to embrace a by-any-means-necessary approach to governing. We saw it during passage of Obamacare, when the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate blew up the rules to block a filibuster. In Massachusetts, Democrats used after-the-fact law changes in a failed attempt to keep a Republican from succeeding Ted Kennedy.
Obama trashed bankruptcy law to move the United Auto Workers ahead of General Motors’ and Chrysler’s secured creditors. And his regulatory agencies are bypassing Congress to enact policies he knows the elected representatives would never approve.

I haven’t seen Fox report anything of this nature. I’m giving up on it too.
CommonSenseGuy commented:
As an employer, I have very little use for the pro-union message, especially the public sector unions. I AM appalled at the actions of many union demonstrators.
That being said… I think we risk losing credibility when we over-hype every single instance we can find of “bad behavior” on the part of the left.
This video is kind of pathetic with the aging hippies singing rambling nonsense, and a group of morons shouting insults — but it’s really not a “STUNNER”. We see a couple of loud-mouths and then we see a short (can’t really say “petite”) woman saying she was shoved. I’m not saying she wasn’t, but since it really wasn’t caught on tape, it’s not really going to “hold up in court”, as they say.
I agree, we probably won’t see this in the “mainstream” media… not so much because it doesn’t fit their agenda, but more because there’s not really that much here.
There is plenty to be upset about, but too much OUTRAGE over every little thing just dilutes our message. We need to be the voice of reason and restraint, we can do better.
Conservative Ken commented:
Was this guy arrested or at least cited? Was there any paperwork filed against him?
How nice of the Police to help out a Union Brother in need.
tommy mc donnell commented:
all of these incidents at protests all around the country are committed by the pro-union demonstraters. yet none of them are reported by american tass. the same american tass that manufactured charges of violence and racism againist tea party protesters. all of american tass’s concern for civility has seemed to disappear.
kato commented:
Most leftists I’ve encountered over the years, whatever their intellectual or educational attainments, tend to have a big maturity problem. The most vocal of them tend to make very visible asses of themselves under the delusion that they’re “speaking truth to power.”
KR commented:
The union protesters have no legitimate arguments. They can only resort to name calling and violence.
Check out this Tea Party guy who puts the union supporters to shame.

Sorry for the double post. My first one did not show at first, which never happened to me on this site.
Anyway, watch the videos, this guy is great.

BTW, I’ve been reporting on this here for over a week now.
proof commented:
For a supposed “grass roots” movement, a lot of the union supporters had their own bullhorns. A show of hands for how many people own their own bullhorns?
Yeah. That’s kinda what I figured!
KR commented:
proof,
The union protesters must have never heard this saying, “It is better to remain silent and have others think you’re a fool, than to open one’s mouth and prove it.” With a bullhorn none the less.
martha commented:
Last time I heard that level of arguement I was in the 5th grade in Brooklyn. Even then we were more clever.
Rank out contests anyone?
John T commented:
It is much more probable that the disruption was caused by a provocateur from the tea party. If you think it’s never happened before, look up “Operation Cointelpro.” I have no proof to offer, but history repeats itself. Governor Walker mentioned in his conversation with a person whom he thought was one of the Koch Brothers that he was contemplating doing the same in Madison, but thought it politically risky, or words to that effect.
Chisum commented:
John T,
Wowee, that Gov. Walker has some long reach.
As far as the Koch Brothers, do a little research before you repeat what you hear.

My favorite was the “poor ass bastards” remark. So the “poor ass bastards” are the ones giving you the shaft?

fox’s reporter Mike Tobin was hit by protesters when trying to cover the protest at Madison.
Alonzo commented:

The tea party doesn’t need to supply provocateurs. The unions are enthusiastically creating a PR disaster for themselves, because they no longer know how to offer up a good argument for what they want. All they can do is scream profanity and make threats.
This is always what happens to a privileged class of people. They lose the ability to converse and interact with those who don’t belong to the club.
averagemelon commented:
My. I am astounded by the sheer number of fools in one place. Brutes, most of them. So ignorant despite claiming to be educated.

ehh you can only bully the unarmed. The union goon tactics
Will stop soon enough.

Don’t fall for this. Grandma wouldn’t want you to. They’re trying to provoke conservatives into physical battle. Again – don’t fall for it.

From Wiki:
COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.
Here’s a little tip for you John T: Pointing out bad government behavior doesn’t exactly undermine the Tea Party. But feel free to keep it up, it is amusing as well as helpful.
Conservative Ken commented:
Well, there you have it. The Unions are finally treating the Tax Payer like the greedy owner of a large corporation.
The Unions know they are dying. Right to Work has risen from the dead in a number of States as well. Nothing is more dangerous than a dying beast.

Not a real good nick for you based on this comment CommonSenseGuy. Showing lefties for the a$$es that they are is sort of the point of this kind of website. And the use of the word stunner would be sarcasm.
squeaky commented:
i know someone mentioned fox’s mike tobin someplace here……..this video may have accompanied but if not……the video is painful to watch – as in slow, etc. it’s also geraldo but it shows the thugs trying to outshout tobin, yelling that fox lies and quite possibly someone hitting tobin. i think he’d be safer in libya

Granny #15 – that link is a stunner. I’ve been following the story of the Green Bay Slackers (Wisconsin Teachers Union) since its inception and I’ve never heard this aspect of it –
great link. It needs to be read by everyone and spread far and wide. thank you.
DMartyr commented:
@4:30 was the same union thug who shoved a Tea Partier to the ground:
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2011/02/another-day-another-union-goon-roughs-up-tea-partier-another-day-of-ignoring-the-incident-by-the-corrupt-media/
Looks like the police officer was facing the general direction of the incident, allowed the union thug to pass, and then stalled when the Tea Partiers pointed him out.
Sylvia commented:
It’s only going to get worst-for the Dem. and BHO are trashing America.
It really bothered me after BHO was voted into office and I didn’t vote for him
(which at the time I was a Dem.) was giving him a chance to see what he’s all about..
Then all hell broke-and now I am not in the Dem. party. Didn’t want any part of how
the Dem. party is killing America & 2012 isn’t coming around as soon as a lot of us would like it to be. Get the union out completly and cut back all of the Dem party spending and we would be able to save our country for if we wait for the Dem. hell will freeze over.
GRU57 commented:
Every union member apparently is destined for a pink slip. I don’t think a one of them “gets it”. At least not yet.
drjohn commented:
This is what happens when you spoil children rotten.
Debbie commented:
So the Union people protesting is blaming the Koch Brothers for giving money for to a campaign? Where is the irony in that?
I would love to know who is inciting these people and lying to them? Who is providing them with bull horns and encouraging the rage? They continue to state they are fighting for democracy~ has anyone reminded them our Gov’t is a republic? As in our pledge of Allegiance? This is just astounding, you can’t even reason with this group, it is like trying to counsel a drunk person… wake til they sleep it off then let’s try to reason with them.
Rob commented:
I am a former republican from the state a indiana. Not just one of you fake want to be ones. Sadly I can no longer be a part of the republican army that is acting the middle class….. You talk about blood?? I was there broadcasting the rally Live across the US… Who ever said one thing about blood at thay rally??? Come here and just try to spill my blood… Remember what happened last time you tried to fight us northern yankees??? I’ll gladly teach you like my great grandfather did last time…. Talk smack and get knocked down…. piss on the republican party and on the a better america….
John T commented:
I didn’t say that Gov. Walker was responsible. I was stating that it is probable that a provocateur may have been responsible. I apologize for suggesting that the tea party was responsible. I admire the tea party movements’ audacity, though the “second amendment” solution is a bit startling. I make this statement as a decorated veteran who has had his fill of violence.
I wish to have an open and honest dialogue. We Americans have every right to be angry. We just need to be certain that our anger is pointed in the right direction. I cannot believe that our fiscal problems are the result of the unions. Civil service compensation and benefits used to be the benchmark for the rest of our society. The insane trade policies passed by presidents and congresses of both parties has sent millions of good paying middle class jobs overseas. What is left of the middle class has had to pick up the lion’s share of paying for “the commons” through federal taxes. Multi-national corporations have “p.o. box” offices overseas to avoid paying their fair share. For example, in 2009 Exxon/Mobil recorded $45 billion in profits. Not only did they not pay taxes, they received a $156 million refund. Therefore we look at civil servants and are jealous. My dear sister, and many of my friends are civil servants and are all good and decent people, whom like the rest of us just want a good life for our families. I myself was in the Army for 10 years.
It is actually an old game. Through rhetoric on both sides of the aisle, and from the media, we on both the left and the right are pitted against each other and are left fighting over scraps while the rich and powerful have cleaned out our national treasury.
Another reason for our fiscal problems is that we spend $1 trillion a year on the military/industrial complex (a term coined by Republican President Eisenhower.) This averages out to around $ 0.51 per every dollar of federal taxes collected. If I had to spend 51% of my income on security, I would certainly rethink the way I treated my neighbors.
Many of the cuts proposed will affect those of us who can least afford it. I hear many Americans say that we are a nation inspired by Christian principles. Perhaps we should re-read Matthew 25 and see what Our Lord has to say about how we are to treat the poor and needy. I truly believe that we will be judged by how we treat the most vulnerable in our society. We spend, as a nation, more on incarceration than on education. What happened? Just as we have neglected our nation’s physical infrastructure, we have also neglected the intellectual infrastructure, which I feel is much more important. I can only paraphrase, but I believe that Thomas Jefferson stated that an educated and informed citizenry is vital in order for democracy to survive.

What John T’s comments lack in quality, he makes up for in quantity.
John T commented:
What have I stated that “isn’t so?”
Joanne commented:
Petite refers to height, not weight.
Liberalism is a disease. You’d think these morons would read a book or two themselves and educate themselves about how well socialism doesn’t turn out for the people or a country. The mentality is that they belong to a union and should have the rights to non-union tax dollars to keep them in the lifestyle they believe they should have above all non-union workers. This is what happens when you try to take monies away from the fat-cat union members, but they are fine taking away monies from people who have taken the hard road and earned their monies through other means.
