Media Matters and the Huffington Post have tried to expose a supposed conflict of interest for journalist Nina Easton’s coverage of the shameful tactics used by SEIU this past weekend as they stormed the home of a Bank of America executive. In doing so, they uncritically repeated a complete and total lie spewed out by SEIU’s propaganda machine.
In yesterday’s post exposing the propaganda efforts from MMFA and HuffPo, where they carried water for SEIU blogger-goon John Vandeventer, we seem to have downplayed how completely and totally deceitful and misleading their “reporting” really was.
If you recall, SEIU thugs invaded a quiet suburban neighborhood on Sunday afternoon and protested on the lawn and private property of Bank of America executive Greg Baer. Fortune magazine journalist Easton happened to be Baer’s neighbor and the ruckus was so obnoxious that it woke her two-year-old child from a nap.
She reported on the event in Fortune and noted that SEIU is currently in an effort to organize the bank tellers at B of A. She also revealed that SEIU owes B of A millions of dollars and today, our own Liberty Chick fleshes that story out even more… $90 million more!
SEIU’s blogger-goon Vandeventner then wrote an embarrassing and shameless piece of agitprop, suggesting Easton’s real motivation was to do her husband’s bidding in protecting one of his PR firm’s clients, Business Roundtable, who counts the B of A CEO as one of its 150 members. The big embarrassment is that this claim was picked up by HuffPo and MMFA, who then dutifully joined the attack on Easton, a spectacle worthy of the good old days when Pravda would go after malcontents at the bidding of Uncle Joe.
Now that we’ve had a day to ask a question or two, we can now reveal how utterly and totally these hacks have failed.
Yes, Easton’s husband is Russ Schriefer and yes, he owns a PR firm, The Stevens & Schriefer Group (SSG). That is about all they got right. The Business Roundtable, the “conflict of interest” that HuffPo and MMFA use to try and intimidate Nina Easton (and any other reporter who dare criticize SEIU and their thuggish tactics) has not been a client of SSG in over a decade. It took one email to confirm this fact.
But HuffPo and MMFA couldn’t go that extra step. There was a real journalist’s integrity to besmirch. They have their priorities. And clearly, neither truth nor context are among them.
Isn’t it time for other reporters to start peeling back at this relationship between SEIU and MMFA? And shouldn’t we start to hear more voices critical of the union’s actions in disrupting a neighborhood and intimidating the teenage child of Mr. Baer, who was home alone while these people stormed the front of his house?
Or, by carrying water for the union, are MMFA and HuffPo signaling to us that it is now OK for Tea Parties to organize on the front porches of Eric Boehlert, John Podesta and Arianna Huffington?

Congrats to Media Matters! They might as well be the official cheerleader and co-sponsor of SEIU's mob squad. Whether it be the SEIU beatdown of Kenneth Gladney or this story- they seem to have no problem aligning themselves with, and defending racist mobs, scaring children, and union thuggery…
Media Matters and Huff-Po are like pigs racing to the trough, eager to woof down whatever slop their masters feed them, not even taking the time to see if what they are about to devour is rotten and poisonous.
Don't forget Media Matter's 'Phanton Egg' defense of the IBEW Local 357 after they threw egg's at the Tea Party Express Bus. Media Matter's 'Senior Fellow' at first took the culprits side due to lack of evidence that the union team – led by the Nevada Democratic Party's Field Director Brian Dimarzio. When we then showed video evidence of a union member holding an egg before the incident and Dimarzio laughably claiming that I was the culprit, Team Podesta (as I call the Media Matters/Soros axis) then goes into an 'Oh it's only just eggs!' These people are without conscience.
the war has been declared, and the battle is raging…
Metaphorically,of course. For now. For violence lurks simmering under the surface like a hungry shark. And the SEIU/Media Matters/HuffPo alliance, being the attack dogs/propaganda arms for the Progressive movement are trying their damn best to provoke just such a reaction. They know the State Controlled Media will spin any incident in a way favorable to the Left's causes.
Look at the demagoguery happening to Rand Paul. Making him revisit the Civil Rights act- all the time ignoring Obama's mysterious past- is an important example.
And poor Nina Easton. She isn't even a conservative. But she'll do- for now…
Wait a second…. I thought it was the RNC and FOX News in bed together. MMFA keeps telling us that. We have to believe them. Right? Don't we?
not only without conscience, but with a full array of Alinskyite tactics…
Provoke a confrontation. Misrepresent (lie) about what happened. Have favorable witnesses (preferably media) present. Paint the opposition as violent extremists.
Repeat when necessary…
This just goes to show how far MMFA, and huffpo will go to provide cover for the socialist agenda. Just looking at that picture makes my stomach turn. Anyone who can willingly defend the targeting of a private residence as a location of a mass protest has some serious issues.
I am a BofA customer because they swallowed up my previous bank. They are just too big – I have nothing against them per se but the consolidation in the industry hurts the consumers and aggregates too much power (lobbying, marketshare and competitive leverage) in one place. What happened to the neighborhood banker that kept profits in the community and knew everyone personally? It's time to get Teddy Roosevelt's axe and chop these megaconglomerates up so we have more free market competition. Bank of America contributes to politicians for favorable legislation when they should be lending money to small busineses.
Liberals are the most despicable degenerates on the planet. Resorting to mob rule thuggery now? Deplorable liberal commentators condoning this overt mafia-style intimidation? Their collusive behavior to stifle opposition is no different than religious the religious fanaticism that is taking root today — people threatening the lives and the safety of those who don't see or do things their way. The left is nothing more than a collusive band of radicalized unhinged zealots.
I can't wait for Bank of America to call in their loans from SEIU. They need to be driven out of "business." Let's see how effective the left is when they can't exploit minorities to do their dirty work. I hope these groups realize some day that they're nothing more than tools to help cultivate the leftist plantation.
Whaddaaya expect? Progressive filth trying to call attention to itself and its falaciousness yet, un-intendedly proving the filthyness of its reason to be. Ha
Correct me if mistaken but it seems you just used a whole paragraph to say next to nothing related to this story. Is your intent to say that their employees private homes should be targeted by protestors because they are now a big bad greedy bank?
BTW, I agree with you that about the negative impacts of having a few goliath banks. But, statism and crony capitalism are the real threat and the banks are just one part of it. Those who are in bed with the state will survive and expand, those who are not will die.
Go ahead and align yourselves with criminal banksters. Please. LOL!
Randy do you mean the same bankers that SEIU owes money to? If Bank of America is so evil and all the things SEIU says they are, why doesn't SEIU go borrow money from another source and pay off Bank Of America? I'm sure SEIU is good for it. That's how you hurt banks. You quit doing business with them, not act like a thug. Who do you work for? If I have a beef with your employer should I gather all my friends and demonstrate in your front yard and on your porch while your family cowers in fear on the inside? My guess is you don't work and if you do it is for the government or a union. Maybe you are getting paid to monitor this site and make a few posts, you know, like your leaders want, an infilltrator. Listen to yourself you idiot.
Neighborhood and state banks are still around. Take your money to one of them. Nobody is holding a gun to your head, yet. I am not crazy about big banks either so I don't do business with them.
I do wish the SEIU would come to my house and "protest". Nothing clears a lawn faster than a Remington 870. Wonder how many of those thugs are willing to DIE for SEIU? My guess, uh, NONE.
"Bank of America contributes to politicians for favorable legislation when they should be lending money to small busineses. "
Can you name a bank that DOESN'T? I'd be more than happy to be a customer.
People who demand the banks stop lobbying against Wall Street reform are considered thugs? At least their protests are relevant!
Unless I'm mistaken, the basic idea of the tea bag revolution is to protest against government bailouts and in favor of tax cuts for the wealthiest five percent of Americans. Ultimately, the tea baggers (can I call them that?) appear to be against allowing the Bush's tax cuts to expire. Strangely, they also were against President Obama's signing of the largest middle class tax cut in history. They're also against helping middle and working class "losers" keep their homes. (By the way, your neighbor's mortgage is your problem. Just watch your property values plummet as soon as there's just one foreclosure on your block.)
Don't forget that anything posted online is not by "real" journalists. We can only trust the "real" journalists at NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN. Wow typing that almost made me vomit, I can't belive the crap spewed by the left every day.
Tea Bag, getting old bud. Bring something original to the party like GWB again and again and again. I would rather have a neighbor who bought way out of their price range or thanks to the CRA [Carter], Freddie and Fannie was allowed to buy a house with 0 down and a 450 credit score. A low credit score means you are a bad creditor. Can I call you a toothless, denegerate for aligning yourself with Hockey? I would think someone who likes a fairly testosterone laden sport as hockey wouldn't align themselves with cats that would rather be average and collect government "stimulus" money AKA Obama Money. I hope you find yourself checked into the boards at the end of the day. Have a good one, eh.
o yes because they are EVIL republicans, take a hike liberal douche
how many do ya think you could hit with 1 shot? my guess is at least 5
Why are they evil? Because they are forclosing on houses that people can't afford because of they shouldn't have been qualified to get a mortgage? Should they just lose money by not forclosing? Should we let the govt take them over?
right on
well liberals are smarter
yes they lied, but it won't matter. that is what they do, and it works. the left is great at smearing people, and walking away unscathed. how else can one explain that barney frank, who helped create this whole housing/freddie/fannie debacle, is still holding office? the left is writing the narrative on the arizona immigration law as well, painting the whole state as racist, xenophobic "nativists." the lying works, and the left has elevated it to an artform.
No, people who bus in a few hundred "protestors" to a private citizen's front yard, for the purposes of terrorizing them are thugs!
I live in Maryland, and I find it so disturbing that this happened. This wasn't a protest, it was a mob. You protest at a bank, not at someone's home. People complain about the "violent" tea parties, but I don't know of a single one that happened on a private residence. I don't know who put the DC cops up to this, but the Mayor and DC Chief of Police should answer for this. And the Montgomery Co. police need to grow a pair. Come to my Maryland neighborhood, SEIU. I dare you. We'd love to let you know how we feel about you frightening children in their own homes.
I wish the lawn sprinkler system had come on during the protest. But these people were already all wet. But maybe she would have melted like in the W of OZ.
Nice piece of information and you got very impressive writing skills.In the James Bond books by Ian Fleming,Replica omega has released two James Bond watches before and the one shown above, the new Omega Seamaster James Bond Limited Edition is one of the first James Bond watches to be equipped with the co-axial escapement.
Home defense is 00 buck, so I've got 8 chances, but I'd settle for 5. I don't think it would come to that. I'd put the muzzle under their leaders chin and politely ask him and his friends to leave. Anything after that is up to them.
"At least their protests are relevant!"
"Relevant"? At someone's HOME, rather that at the BUSINESS they are "PROTESTING"? You got a brain? This isn't "protest", this is INTIMIDATION! WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! WE KNOW WHERE YOU'RE FAMILY IS!
Terrorizing a 17 year old is RELEVANT? How about I show up at your house with 500 "friends" to talk to you about "relevant". And if you're not home, we will TALK to your family. Do you still think that would be "relevant"?
Pull your brain out of your anal cavity!
What a silly accusation coming from a guy who aligns HIMSELF with Nazis and muslim extremists.
I was wrong about you, Randy. You don't play with sock puppets; you ARE a sock puppet.
By the way; did you get banned from Big Hollywood ?
To respond to your points:
You ARE mistaken.
NO, you may not call "them" tea baggers. That may be what you call those guys you meet at the park around 3 AM, but it's not a name for decent folks.
The President hasn't signed any tax cut for tax payers. Giving money to free loaders isn't a tax cut.
Go anead and align yourself with this criminal administration. Please. LOL!!!
By people do you mean SEIU members that were bussed in and told to protest? Obama's tax cuts were tax credits and one time deal. The government,via the Community Reinvestment Act forced the banks to allow mortgages to unqualfied applicants (thanks to Carter, Clinton, Frank and Dodd)
Get your facts straight hackneyednation
This was a government sanctioned and financed rent-a-mob performing the same functions as Hitler Youth. How can anyone not see that the unions have become the shadow army of the Obama regime.
MMFA and HuffPo are following the age old Leftist rule of not letting the facts get in the way of a good story. Facts tend to gum up the flow of the creative juices in the mind.
Typical analcrainialencephlamotic rationalization from one of the teeth gnashing left. Notice when the left get's thier grimy fingers in someone's pocket they never remove it? It's never enough and never will be. Typical of the Ungrateful though.
Ever notice how after ALL the handouts it's never enough?
Randy. Banks are not evil, The largest stockholder of banks and other large Companies are Retirement funds for school teacher, city workers, Sate worker, Union workers. and others ( perhaps you Randy )
Randy is is easy to hate and be used by others to attack companies for providing a service or product.
Randy take some courses in Economics . Randy you are being used by the socialist to preach hate and envy. Randy you can do better than that.
"…are MMFA and HuffPo signaling to us that it is now OK for Tea Parties to organize on the front porches of Eric Boehlert, John Podesta and Arianna Huffington?"
Yes, they are. They just don't know it.
"Nothing clears a lawn faster than a Remington 870"
Um, a Beretta 1014?
I was thinking of a double barrel, but an 870 will do.
It is so obvious that the far-left goons and their supporters (PuffHo, et.al.) in this country are pushing hard at regular folks. Maybe it is time for us to start pushing back. Maybe a rally on Andy Stern's property, or A. Puffington's or …pIck one. Those people are coward bullies and the only way to stop a bully is to go after him/her. Obama and his regime have divided this country and it is time for us to show whose country it really is. If we do not begin to take it back in November, then we all should just shut up and get in line.
I did, but BoA consumed them (just like a boa). there is only one state bank, north Dakota.
When you say take your money out of the big banks, our little consumer accounts mean nothing. It is the government accounts, business accounts, pensions, investments and municipal bonds that mean much more. Our taxes are high because both Obama and bush committed our business to these banks, loaned them our money and continue to regulate in their favor.
If you believed in free markets, they would all have collapsed because of their own greed and reckless mismanagement. If you have Americans protesting on your lawn with pitchforks, perhaps it's time to explain your policies, ethics, morals and stop gaming the political process. Do you believe in democratic majority rule?
[...] is … a lifelong Democrat. For her trouble in reporting on this, she’s naturally been smeared by the left. As for why SEIU is singling out Bank of America for thug tactics, supposedly it’s a protest [...]
Another aside to this despicable incident……..one would think by the Actions that Mr. Baer is an evil capitalist and a card carrying Republican, right! NOT! Mr. Baer is a registered Democrat. No wonder the MSM and media matters and their corrupt minions with the assistance of Congressman Weiner are attacking Glenn Beck, it was his program and research that first shone the light on this bunch of socialist rabble and the Mr. Baer is a Democrat! Who said there is honor amoung theives?
The Hitler’s Brownshirts (I mean Obama’s Purple) are out in full force.
It's quite precious how you economic illiterates in the parasite class attempt to frame incidents and issues for public consumption. You and your goon pals in the SEIU have every right to remain as ignorant as you are on matters of taxes, spending and regulations. You even have every right to parade your breathtaking stupidity on Washington, organize legal protests/marches/propaganda sessions and appeal to your Congressman to see things from your abysmal point-of-view. What you don't have a right to do is to gather in a mob like a gang of common THUGS and set upon individuals you disagree with (aka: your intellectual superiors) with intimidation, threats of violence and actual violence.
That collection of human debris that was bussed in to harass the Baer family deserves no sympathy. They are, at best, COWARDS. The government's responsibility is NOT "helping middle and working class 'losers' keep their homes". If you use a mortgage to purchase your home, the home is not yours until you've paid the mortgage in full. Using government regulation to keep property prices artficially high does not protect homeowners from plummeting property values, it merely constricts the market because prices are not allowed to reach their natural low (meaning there's no value in the market for potential buyers)…it aggravates the problem by kicking the can down the road, dragging the day of reckoning out even further and making it so that that day is much worse. And by that time, who will be the only people capable of acquiring and growing wealth once your Marxist wet dream comes true? That's right, the rich you so despise. Tell you what, "hockeynation", try opening up an Economics book once in a while, you might learn something…and you may even improve your pathetic +/-.
SEIU thugs…. Be on notice…What you did was the lower than low. Those tactics will not be tolerated on my property. PERIOD! I'm too old to put up with your "brown shirt" ways.
I have had to stop reading blogs on MMFA and HuffPo. I used to follow them out of morbid curiosity and to see what tripe the prog/libs were trotting out. I can't do it anymore because I think it actually kills brain cells. I applaud Liberty Chick for her efforts to continue to out these dirt bags.
Some "judge" will rule that the BofA will have to allow SEIU to not pay because of some "_________" (fill in the blank with some legal jargon that has nothing to do with the whole thing)…just wait. Just like ACORN forcing big banks like BofA to give outrageous loans to folks with no real income or be branded as racists, sexist, etc. while picketing outside the banks and blocking REAL customers from getting in…so, the housing bubble (also pumped up by Freddie and Fannie) got bigger and bigger…and when the market couldn't sustain it, it popped…now, all these folks living in near mansions that cannot afford them, want their loans "modified" to basically pay nothing for a big ol' house…but, let you or I try that…then we are dirty and cheating and the IRS will get us…these communists are EFFING this country, and being aided and abetted by the Democrat Socialist Party…and their Jackass-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama.

Mr. Bush was no saint, but do I miss him yet? Heck yeah, EVERY DAY!
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s America was overwhelmed with concerns about the threat of communism growing in Eastern Europe and China. Capitalizing on those concerns, a young Senator named Joseph McCarthy made a public accusation that more than two hundred “card-carrying” communists had infiltrated the United States government. Though eventually his accusations were proven to be untrue, and he was censured by the Senate for unbecoming conduct, his zealous campaigning ushered in one of the most repressive times in 20th-century American politics.
Looking back now, one would have to say he was correct.

People need to take responsibility for their own actions. No one made them take the loan, it was their own greed. They should have looked at their finances and made reasonable decisions.
I invite you to consider the roles played by four institutions in bringing about this financial crisis, and I want you to reflect on the location of those institutions. The first is the Federal Reserve Board. Its role has been to allow a housing bubble to inflate, and burst. Between January of 2001 and June of 2003 the Fed cut its federal funds rate from 6.5 percent to 1 percent. Then over three years it very gradually raised rates to 5.25 percent. In that time, house-price inflation rose from 7 percent to 17 percent a year and it stayed above 15 percent a year right until January of 2006
The second is the Securities and Exchange Commission, which under Christopher Cox allowed the leverage in the banking system to spiral out of control, from 12 to 1 to somewhere in the region of 20 to 30 to 1. My third prime suspect is the Congress that wholly failed to supervise Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which on the eve of their destruction were leveraged 65 to 1. And that brings me to the White House. "We want everybody in America to own their own home," declared President George W. Bush, in October of 2002. Everybody in America!
Bankers are nearly always actuated by greed, and so are many ordinary people too. But it's the role of government to strike a balance between market forces and stability, and we should blame Washington more than Wall Street for this crisis. In my view Washington sold itself to Wall Street
Why didn’t they protest in front of Barney Frank’s and Chris Dodd’s homes for forcing the banks to make the loans in the first place under penalty of fines if they did not under the Democrat Community Reinvestment Act social engineering program that caused the whole mess in the first place…”
Media Matters and HuffPo are hack organizations. They screamed "conflict of interest" between the PR firm The Stevens and Schriefer Group and Business Roundtable when Business Roundtable had not been a client of SSGin over a decade.
I will be repeating that everywhere and endlessly.
Looks like SEIU is following in the same thug tactics as the Trotskyite Socialist Workers Party in Britain.
SEIU, ACORN, and other far-left community organizing groups organized the socialist Working Families Party.
These far-left extremist groups have the same goals and use the same tactics.
Expose them everywhere and repeatedly. Thugs. Gangsters. Extremists. Destroyers.
Still, what is your point. Yes there are big banks and they can be problems. Do you condone what SEIU did at this private residence because you are PO'd at BoA.
No, government's role is to get out of the way.
Liberals are mentally incapable of understanding the precedent that they set. They insult, scream, and swear at any foe and can't understand why more people don't love them for their "feelings" or "intentions." They feel entitled to behave any way they want because of their exalted state, but heaven forbid a commoner who actually works take umbrage at their arrogance. This story doesn't surprise me at all, but the sheer stupidity of these thugs, who somehow think in today's world they won't be actually irrevocably documented in their actions, actually does surprise me.
You mean like George Soros?
Ronald Reagan was a very outstanding and capable man of the people and for the people. I am glad I was able to witness his genius

May I call you a Flaming Faggot, you want to protest banks, by all means have at it but going to a private neighborhood and mounting a riot of this sort is not a relevant protest. I see a purple SEIU T shirt in my neighbor hood I will unload my Shot Gun brimming with rock salt in their direction.
BryanF is making a very hypocritical distinction between a Tea Party protest "getting in the faces" of Congress members in the halls of the Capital and a bunch of protesters on a public street where a CEO lives. I tend to agree the guy's house is not an appropriate place – the neighbors are disturbed and maybe the guy's kids get freaked out. So take it to the guy's office (we agree!) but Bryan's reaction to this "wrongdoing" is to assault them with a shotgun blast of rock salt?
Bryan, meet VPfitz who above, condemned acts of intimidation and violence. The proper response is to call the cops for causing a disturbance, disturbing the peace, whatever. But this vigilante "justice" escalates the problem and if you shoot someone for holding a sign and yelling, you are just as bad as them, or even a worse person.
Argue ideas – any loser can go to Wal-Mart and buy a gun – have you got anything worthwhile to add besides calling people names?
SEIU should have taken it to the guy's work address. They should get citations for disorderly conduct. But BoA should be broken up immediately. The banks screwed up and couldn't cover their commitments, proving they had no business putting those amounts at risk. They also cannot act as a bank and proprietary trader at the same time because it is a conflict of interest – one or the other. Any real Conservative should laugh at the Bush/Obama bailouts – that's not the free market at work, it's corporate welfare and fraud, after excessive DE-regulation and election-buying.
The 1950s was a perfect model for economic growth and stability – the middle class thrived and grew, we had one working parent in each home, a car, a 40 hour week, vacation and could afford to send our kids to college. All this was possible because of a high progressive tax rate, but the super-rich 1/10th of 1% convinced the neocons to change progressive taxation (and invent wars for no good reason) and we've been in debt as a nation ever since.
We changed the whole country to cater to a very small elite – the mega rich. It might not be "fair" to them but any kid playing Sim City knows you must cater to the health of the largest group first. Especially if those same mega-rich ship off the jobs of the middle class for short-term profits so their great-great-great grandkids can be as rich as them. Sorry, this is not a left/right debate, it's about class and the Dems have gone right along with the post-Reagan attack on the middle class.
I just read Nina Eastons article on this. SEIU didn't want any MSM coverage, and they got what they wanted. No AP, no WaPo, no NYT and no McClatchy…just crickets.
Seriously, how much money is it worth to have a legion of PR people posing as reporters. If you were planning to move a country to the Left you first would have to control the press.
And her conclusion is scary…they wanted to threaten in the dark…no sunshine here:
"Sunday's onslaught wasn't designed for mainstream media consumption. There were no reporters from organizations like the Washington Post, no local camera crews who might have aired criticism of this private-home invasion. With the media covering the conservative Tea Party protesters, the behavior of individual activists has drawn withering scrutiny.
Instead, a friendly Huffington Post blogger showed up, narrowcasting coverage to the union's leftist base. The rest of the message these protesters brought was personal-aimed at frightening Baer and his family, not influencing a broader public."
I actually agree with you on one level, though my thought's include and this is a little off topic. Wasn't it SEUI who threw the eggs at busses in Nevada and tried to blame Andrew Breitbart? Didn't SEUI orchestrate the assault of many fine citizens at town hall meeting's? Personally I do not own a Shotgun I am a Vet and for whatever reason never really had the desire to shoot. I dont think my suggestions are escalating the level of violence I do however think I am suggesting that we all meet their level of aggression.
but I guess you don't have any problem with Obasama 'consuming' 50% of the US industries (auto etc)…with him in the peoples WH we a losing our country.
Those seiu thugs problaly made sure no adult was home so they wouldn't get buckshot…….nothing lower than thesse actions…..you say if they protest on you lawn time to explain…… YOU ARE AN IDIOT……MY LAWN IS NEVER THE PLACE TO PROTEST.
Go firstpoppa…..same thing will happen if they come to my home!
How does this twit get a positive rating? this post is an affront to anyone with intelligence…I want to know how the writer does NOT have a -999 rating…
I'm game! that sounds like a good time. Hello Arianna. Got an ice tea for me? The Tea Party would never take it to that level. Why ? Because we respect private property. Now would I stand on the side walk? You betcha.
YOU have no idea of what you speak….you have listened to MSM too much….Obaidiot did NOT sign a tax cut.
Protesting at someones HOME is NEVER relevant , nor is biting the finger of a tea bag patriot at a tea party rally.
And NO you can't call them teaba**erst that is offensive and is a homo act not the name of a group of people As for you knowledge, that 5% pay 80%+ of the taxes. Where do you think all the tax dollars come from….the lazy welfare or illegal bunch?? YOu and your idiot in charge both need economics lessons!
Where were the police in all of this? How can a mob actually take over your private property, come all the way up to your door, and not be arrested for trespassing (at the very least) or inciting a riot and disorderly conduct, which is what should have happened? Now you know why people are buying more and more shotguns and ammunition. Today it's an SEIU Union mob. Tomorrow they will be coming for food, or fuel, or to ransack your property in order to "redistribute" the wealth. Isn't this how the Communists got started? This is beyond pathetic. This is a total breakdown of law and order and, as far as I can see, both the union AND the local police are to blame for not stopping this. Shameful.
Or so they try to tell us. Unfortunately for them, they're not very convincing in word or deed.
You are incorrect – many were confirmed to be Soviet agents with the release of the Venona Papers.
I emailed the Police Chief at DC Metro.
To her credit she responded and defended her police as best she could under the circumstances.
It was a lively back and forth and very enlightening.
I never did get an answer to my question as to whether her cops were unionized,
It would have been a legitimate use of force to shoot any person advancing on your property with an ostensible mission to commit you harm. It also would be legitimate to do so to protect your neighbor's child.
SEIU are thugs. They now are fully engaged in aggressive acts against individuals. They are preparing to physically harm any and all targets, as they are directed.
It is up to us to tell our local B of A bank tellers that, if they unionize, we will take our money from BofA and they will lose their jobs. No force needed. The tellers can stay employed or unionize and be forced into retirement.
IF SEIU, or any of the unions take such action again, they must be stopped forcefully and without reservations. So must their public union collaborators and accessories, including law enforcement.
In my view, unionized law enforcement facilitated this assault by unions on individuals, and they are accessories if not actors. They no longer protect and serve, they no longer are performing their sworm duty, so they no longer are law enforcement — just other union thugs.
This a tragedy. Obama is Satan.
