Union Members Shout Profanities and Intimidate Lawmakers in Kansas
The Kansas Speaker of the House may ban union lobbyists after the outbursts last week.
The Speaker of the Kansas House may ban union members after the outbreaks and intimidation last week.
KTKA reported:
Friday, the Speaker of the Kansas House had plenty to say about Thursday’s outburst from union members during the vote on House Bill 2130.
Speaker Mike O’Neal is considering banning union lobbyists after reports of vulgar behavior on the part of lobbyists and union members at the Statehouse Thursday.
“I can tell you that I have now verified from at least six individuals the use of profanity that was so strenuously denied. Beyond the sexually explicit things, the intimidation and telling people that you will vote a certain way is very close to crossing the line on what appropriate lobbying is,” says O’Neal.
Here’s more video of the outburst last week:

Are these union members of another species? They are all low-IQ, lazy and pot-bellied…how can there be that much homegeneity in this parasitic population? Inbreeding?
truth teller commented:
Jim…let’s bring it to them…find out when any of these unions are having meetings and let’s go disrupt…or let’s protest in front of their headquarters.

At least this bunch seems to be leaving on demand. Good for the Kansas Speaker for banning them. We really cannot let anarchists disrupt the legislative system like this.
Ginger commented:
Scumbags!
Union people have always acted this way! Remember all the union strikes in the private sector? You have seen nothing yet unless you are stuck in the middle of it. Walk outs because the scum bags didn’t get their way! They are just more bolden now because they have that Kenyan fraud/muslim/union leader/socialist/punk/to protect them!
They are shouting “kill the bill” well we need to shout “kill the unions” We might get a lot of our business’es to come back home since the middle east, etc is on fire!

Acting like spoiled children is not the way to win hearts and minds in the United States. What a disgrace.

Petulance is not an argument. Someone should tell them.
SturJen commented:
From the stature of some of those union boyz, it looks like they could stand to run up and down those stairs for another two hours or so. Perhaps a pay cut would mean they could LOSE SOME WEIGHT!
I’m thinking their lives are bit too cushy…don’cha think?

They act that way because in the past it worked. Shout down the less motivated taxpayer protesters, threaten, intimidate, occupy or damage property, “get a little bloody,” fabricate incidents, hey all was fair when union benefits were on the line. The unions could act thuggish and get away with it because the public did not see that side of them. Either the media didn’t report it, or the incident was over before *snicker* and honest reporter could recount it. After all, they were standing up for the “working man” or a “living wage.” Yougotaproblemwit’dat?
Nowadays, when everybody has a camera, this sort of thing makes you a Youtube star.
(And that’s not necessarily a good thing…)

Nanna1 commented:
One of the problems is the MSM doessn’t show the Union and their thugs. They act as if the unions are the victims, and show it that way. The “peaceful” union marches for their “fair” pay, and the ugly tea party with all their hate filled signs, etc. Fox is the only one showing the truth, and the unions harass them something awful.
StrangernFiction commented:
You people are being a bit harsh, these guys are simply “working” towards that magical “socialist utopia.” Probably not the version with unicorns and rainbows — then again with the talk of f*ck!ng people in the a$$ and ball bags on noses you have to wonder — but I digress. Point is cut these oafs some slack. Pursuit of happiness people, who said that doesn’t include pursuit of some kooky “socialist utopia?” Hell the President of the United States is a believer:
“Obama was looking forward to an imminent social revolution, literally a movement where the working classes would overthrow the ruling class and institute a kind of socialist Utopia in the United States.”

Ginger, you are nailing it GOOD.
Soros intends for these protests to fill EVERY state capital at one time! He must be feeling he is in deep pockets.
This collusion for insurgency is Treason.
These union members are completely un-American and fighting to destroy the Constitutions of each state as well as of the United States of America, and think they will be totally free to rob the taxpayers as they please.
They’ve never stopped to think where they will get FOOD once they accomplish their goals.
Just total blind goons.

I came across a video of the Rolling Stones performing Sympathy for the Devil at Altamont (while the guy was getting stabbed to death by the Hells Angels in the crowd). That’s where we’re headed if the police keep turning a blind eye to this madness and the media keep lionizing these degenerate protesters.

Madkangaroo commented:
All this union misbehavior reminds me of my own run ins with them back in the 90′s. Used to work on a loading dock for a major trucking firm. Lotsa Teamsters. Union decided to strike so as to get possession of the company pension fund. Ironically, very few of the company’s union employees struck – company treated them well. Union brought in hundreds of employees from *competing truck lines and paid them to strike us*. Threats were made against customers, assaults made against our employees (at least one shooting, several cases of bricks thrown from overpasses onto trucks, brake lines cut). Driving in and out my car was pounded with fists while strikers screamed “Scab, we know where you live!”. What we are seeing now is further proof that unions are largely Mob (big M) minded extorsion rackets run for the benefit of the union bosses and Democrat party. Imagine the fascism we’d experience if they got all the power they are seeking.
American Patriot commented:
Here’s my union story of the day:
At 930 this morning I stopped at a local convenience store, and as I was parking a fancy red Corvette pulled in several parking spaces away. Out climbs a middle-aged guy wearing a jacket with Teamsters logos emblazened all over the front and back in gold embroidery. So he’s obviously proud of his union affiliation. Fine. He then enters the store and goes to the beer coolers where he pulls out a twelve-pack of what I assumed was his favorite adult breakfast beverage. That’s when I looked at my watch and realized he was actually just getting his 1000 am union-brokered breaktime refreshments. As he drove away I consoled myself with the thought that he will probably die from cirrhosis of the liver long before he can collect his union retirement benefits.

Best in the West commented:
A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party, and a CEO are sitting at a table.
In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it.
The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier, and says, “look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie.”
!st we need to cut CEO salaries. My CEO makes mot in a year then I will earn in 20 years. Gov. Walker S/B put in jail for braking the WIS. constition and lying to the people. This is about keeping election funds to Democrats. It is sad to see how uniformed much of the public is concerning UNIONS!

Memo to Union Officials: If you are going to send a group of people to protest and show how tough things are for you make sure it isn’t 30 very fat, comfortable looking people.
Jerry C commented:
I worked for the U.S. Postal Service as a temporary employee a few years back. We had a whole crew of about 30 people (mostly full-time) sitting around with no mail. So, I went around looking for some mail to keep us busy and was quickly assailed by a union guy when I found some. The reason being, union rules required a different team to process that mail. Government efficiency at it’s best.
Thank God I decided never to work for the government again.
P.S. At least not work directly for the government, since via taxes I work alot for them.
Madkangaroo commented:
Hey #31, at the risk of feeding a troll, here’s a more realistic joke:
A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it.
The CEO, who started the cookie company with his own money and that of investors, and who works about 80 hr/week running the biz, hands 4 of the cookies to the Tea Partier who works at the biz because about 30% of receipts go to payroll. The CEO sends 6 of the cookies to his suppliers to pay company bills. 2 cookies get divided between himself and the investors.
The unionized public employee, who didn’t make any of the cookies, uses the government to take 1 cookie from the Tea Partier, 3 cookies from the suppliers, and 1 cookie from the CEO and the investors. It’s called “Taxes.”
The unionized public employee then loudly and vulgarly complains he’s getting cheated and demands more….or else.

Actually, we need to send leftists back to school so they can learn how to write fluent English.
And I haven’t seen much of the public wearing uniforms lately. You could be hallucinating.

GREAT response. Copied and pasted into my notepad-o-goodness for future use, whenever I see this lame “joke” posted by a mindless lib Soros-drone.
Paddy commented:
I am old enough to remember that back in the 1930s and later, union thugs were called “goons” and their groups were goon squads. It is time to revive the old terminology because goon seems to fit.
RedBeard commented:
Best of the West (#31) is not very “uniformed” about basic economics, entrepreneurialism, freedom, and personal responsibility. But he does seem to have the basics of socialism well in hand. Of course, it doesn’t take much of an education to stand around yelling, “You have too much! Gimme!”

Thanks for the complement. You’re quite welcome to use the “joke” – that’ll be one cookie please.
DJ commented:
Well. If this was any old law that I was sitting on the fence about, an obnoxious, rude display like that would steel me to vote the opposite of the chanting thugs!
Way to go high school drop outs!
Mad Hatter commented:
This is all Unions can bring themselves to do, shout, disrupt, intimidate, use vulgarity, and when necessary use violence to defeat anyone that stands up against them.
George S. Patton commented:
Unions – stuck in the 1930′s. Thinking mob mentality will still win the day. Even with a complicit media, they are cutting their own legs off.
Phoney polls or “support” from the poseur in the white house cannot fix their situation. Unions are terminally broken and will keep undermining themselves with thug and goon behavior.
Will be interesting how many of these knuckle-draggers keep their jobs once the union is no longer there to protect them.
Let’s ROLL!

hey! I’m actually IN that video. I’m the blurry spot in the far right section, right next to the ‘pink’ pillar & wearing a royal blue blazer. (not that anyone but my mom would care!) And ‘no’ we were NOT with the union thugs.
