Those obnoxious hecklers who tried to shout down Mitt Romney at the Iowa State Fair last week weren’t just random Iowans trying to participate in the democratic process, as I write at Front Page Magazine.
They were members of a Marxist, ACORN-like group called Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI). Iowa CCI is an affiliate of a street thug outfit called National People’s Action (NPA).
NPA may not be corrupt like ACORN but they’re still bad people. NPA is participating in a nationwide economic terrorism campaign with the new ACORN front groups and SEIU aimed at destabilizing the nation’s financial system.
You might remember the joint actions conducted by NPA and SEIU. The two organizations have been using angry mobs to invade banks and terrorize bank executives, such as Bank of America’s Greg Baer, in their homes.
* * * * *
America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

This is an excellent reason why we need a very articulate, dedicated and assertive candidate who can confront these groups and Obama in particular. The hands across the aisle is no longer viable and this point must be articulated. This election is pivotal for the US : Socialism or Freedom ? That is why7 I have serious doubts about Romney. Having said that I did feel he did a good job dealing with those thugs. But this is very early days. He will be tested and will he meet the test ?

How about this - we don't tolerate left wing thugs stifling debate. The right doesn't shout down their candidates and we should not allow this foolishness.
This is the kind of stuff you have in third world countries.
Wayne | 8.15.11 @ 11:04AM
And you can bet that these groups are lead by the Center for American Progress. I still get a kick out of Republicans who insists there is no conspiracy. What is the this? Add in the Unions, Planned Parenthood, Code Pink, Journolist, Media Matters and you have a vast left wing conspiracy right out in the open.

Add up all the groups (concerned citizens) on The Left funded by your tax dollars and one can see the scope of this attempt to silence the opposition. Imagine if these were say YAF or TEA party people. The airways would be consumed with diatribes against hate speech. Why is it only Left wing organizations get tax money for their operations? Why should any of these groups get public money?

To many posters above: You know in the past I have heard people complain that there is no difference between Rz and Dzzzzzzz. Well you know what --in some way they are right !!!!!!!!!!! But in this respect:
One can imagine an 'agreement" made between Party Leaders that goes like this: Republicans to Demz --You pretend to govern and we will pretend to oppose. In point of fact whether you call them RINOS or Mainline Republicans--no matter--( See McConnell and Boehner ) you can count on them to make a deal, do a victory lap etc.
In the end, the basically give Socialists whatever they want. Its in the cards. I real opposition party would not tolerate the goon crap and thugs stuff nor would they put up with the kind of name calling etc. from the LEFT. I have very serious doubts about the leadership and starting to wonder if our fate is sealed ? Sort of like a ballgame that is fixed. ? I am watching what happens very closely .
albert constantine jr| 8.15.11 @ 12:09PM
Not that I concur with the assessment, but a more useful analogy than that of the fixed ball game would be a professional wrestling match. Some of the hits are real, but the outcome is most often pre-determined.

As part of this article, the author ofers a defense of the massive corporate financial bureaucracies
and their high level bureaucrats. These organizations are primary contributors to the ongoing economic and financial depression, and their continued existence-as opposed to being put through bankruptcy and restructuring including the wipe out of equity, and to the extent needed, bondholder capital-shows the political influence of these firms and the corruption and cowardice of prosticians of both sides of the coin(i.e., Spencer Bacchus/Barney Frank). Their top bureaucrats(as opposed to lower level work a day
employees) deserve contempt, ridicule and ruination; if hacks and flacks such as Greg Baer feel 'threatened', they should cut their association with zombie leeches like BAC.
