Recently at the Pennsylvania Progressive Summit, Leo Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers called for violence:

“We have an agenda worth fighting for… Even if we have to take it to the streets and do what needs to be done.”

Just like a typical leftist.

After all, he’s a union boss not a tea partyer.

    Leftist vote in a stupid economic failure, and then take to the streets under their term — this is a pattern in history, and more proof that Libtards are retarded, have a disease formed by stupidity. “rage against the Machine, after voting in the machine,’ is their reality– they cannot see it due to a lack of critical capacities.

    Typical communist. And this is what’s maddening about the press. Not only do they make up stories about conservatives being violent, they hide the truth about their own side.

    Looking at this guy’s hands, and the rings on them, including the middle finger, I would say he is more familar with dark alleys for both his business and entertainment needs.

    Typical knuckle-dragging, union thug! Probably at one time he was a tough guy enforcer-type, but he got fat and lazy off all his stupid, neanderthal members. Now he has stooges who go into the streets and “mess people up” for him.

    Yeah right. This guy couldn’t kick his own ass. His place is behind the podium where he will instruct others to “take to the streets”.

    Not just an idiot, but a coward as well.

    Had a lawyers son in Columbus Ga. today shoot someone and then perform suicide by cop. Anytime ,anywhere evil can happen, do you have the means to defend yourself? Got a plan? Got a plan B too?? Plan A always fails.

    Rugged individuals will survive and thrive. The sheep will feed the machine. Social unrest is coming to America, the leadership wants this.

    this is what has happened to unions over the last thirty years. democratic party politicans have taken over the positions of leadership and use the unions for the benefit of the democratic party. the biggest exploiter of the working people(union and non-union alike)in todays america is not the businessman it is the politican. that is who these union leaders represent.

    The majority of the American people have an agenda worth fighting for.

    This is the agenda:

    Why should the majority of americans, who have to work until they are 65 or 70 , pay taxes so that public employees can retire in their 50′s with cadillac health care plans and huge taxpayer funded pensions?

    xqqme commented:

    Furthers the meaning of ‘makers’ and ‘takers’ in our economy.
    If the union members decide their ‘agenda is worth fighting for’ what use is violence in ‘globalization’?
    With all the excess capacity, what would be their leverage? Shut down? Companies would love that! IT would give them a chance for demand to catch up with supply.
    I just can’t see what benefit their threat could have, unless the government would step in and force companies to ‘produce’.

    Give Him What He Wants commented:

    Gerard would crap his pants and hide under the table if someone pulled a .45 and started throwing rounds his direction. He wants to ‘take it to the streets’ if he can set back in his union headquarters, giving directions – somebody start slapping him around and he’d pee his panties.

    The average unemployment rate under Bush was 5.2%, below historical averages. Under 4 years of Democratic leadership, we have a 9% unemployment.

    Good to see I’m not the only one on here who thinks union thuggery is over-rated these days. I’m sure there are a few toothless union goons who would follow Gerard’s instructions, but are most of them really ready to physically engage patriotic Americans in the streets just to keep the union fatcats in power? I don’t think so.

    Except it wont work ! There is not one Military unit or Or Nat’l Gyuard unit that would back Obama. So if he is looking to start a race War and thinks he can order Marshall law he is dreaming. The Majority of American GI’s COME FROM CONSERATIVE FAMILIES . Can you see Gov Brewer ordering her Nat’l Guard into the streets on O’bummers behalf, not a chance!
    Just look how the Egyptian Military has not turned on their People ( the protestors) why, because they believe they are right…Mubarak must go!

    They won’t “do what needs to be done” unless someone pays them, and I don’t see anyone willing to put their money where their mouth is yet. So until then, this guy is nothing but a lotta wind in a union tee-shirt.
