Apparently organized labor has found some violence that it
doesn't like. It's just terrible, these protestors showing
up at congressional town hall meetings opposing nationalized
health insurance.
Complains the AFL-CIO:
The extremist fringe of the anti-health care reform
movement-with a wink and a nod from more mainstream health care
opponents-is using mob rule to disrupt town hall meetings and
community forums set for the congressional recess. Mob rule
tactics stopped the Florida vote count during the contested
2000 presidential elections, ultimately turning the presidency
over to George W. Bush-a strategy now emulated by the
anti-health care reform lobby.
Terrible, just terrible. It's not as if unions every resort
to, oh, shall we say "enhanced" protest techniques. Such as
blatant violence and intimidation.
The indictment accuses Local 17 leaders and members of dozens
of threats and instances of vandalism and harassment against
non-union workers and contractors. At times, members of other
unions were also targeted.
Much of the activity took place at major publicly funded
construction projects, including the expansion of Roswell
Park Cancer Institute and renovations at Ralph Wilson
Stadium, Buffalo State College and the Buffalo Sewer
Authority's treatment plant on Bird Island, prosecutors said.
One of the disturbing aspects to the case, in Flynn's view,
is that members of the local repeatedly used the Web site of
the state Department of Motor Vehicles to find out the
addresses of people they intended to harass.
It's nice of the AFL-CIO to be concerned about the democratic
process. Perhaps labor officials should start by
campaigning against violence within their own movement.
This is part of the Democrats play book. They steal elections,
and blame Republicans. ACORN, Move On Dot Org., and other
Democrat groups rent protest mobs. So Conservatives must do the
same thing. We must be winning.

What I fear is left provocation of violence at anti-obamacare
rallies. Be carefu,watch the crowd,take pictures of
individuals,find out who they are and their affiliation. Saul
Alinsky the lefty.

Interesting that the AFL-CIO is mentioning the Florida recount
protests.
That was the first time that I recall seeing conservatives
actually protesting in the streets.....and, obviously, the
ultimate mob thugs (the unions) didn't like it one bit.
There they were screaming and waving signs while democrats were
hand-wringing and complaining about "lawlessness in the streets".
I don't care who you are, that's funny there!
Conservatives just don't usually play like that and the dems know
it. This is what makes it all the more effective and the dems all
the more worried.
For the dems to call this an "Astro-Turf" movement is 'whistling
past the grave yard'...and rank projection.
The more the dems attempt to marginalize this and the more they
ignore the voice of the people, the more angry these regular
folks are going to get.
This isn't the "Rent-A-Mob" tactic the lefties use. This is the
real deal and their representatives will ignore them at their own
peril.
