The Angry Mob (UPDATED)

    Update: The video, which showed a counter-protester attacking a tea partier and his wife, has been removed from YouTube. Wonder who complained. And on what grounds. Via Ed Morrissey, and to expand on Brian Simpson’s remarks: . Those darn teapartiers sure are scary and violent. Yet another example of the media double standards on violence at protests.

    BREAKING: The Mob Attacks A News Crew!

    Sometimes rhetoric gets out of hand. We all know this. There is a difference between disagreeing with someone and villainizing them as Hitler 2.0. So when you paint the President as a monster causing the death of innocents, and the media as his Goebbels, are you inciting violent reaction? Sometimes, apparently so. I shot the shocking video below myself. I have not editing the foul | Read More »

    Pelosi to Disruptors: Your advocacy is very American

    So disruptions and outbursts interrupt Pelosi discussing National Security to a San Fran crowd, and not only does she encourage them, she specifically calls their disruption “very American” and claims she’s “a fan” of disruptors. You got that, mob? If you’re a SanFranLib screaming BushLied™!1!1!1!!!!!1! then you are THE BOMB. But if you are a concerned senior citizen telling Snarlin’ Arlen to stuff it you | Read More »

    Let’s Talk Astroturf

    So I received an email/comment this morning about a craigslist ad soliciting health care activism for money. “Activism for money,” I thought!! Was this it at last? The missing link Democrats have been searching for? Obamacare opponents turning up at town halls really are a mob? We really are nothing but a slew of paid hacks drummed up by the promise of easy cash by | Read More »

    More Mob Violence

    . .If you can’t view video here’s a summary: SEIU thugs attack Obamacare opponents, smack the person filming right in the face. When you go to the town hall meetings: bring a camera. If you go to a protest: bring a camera. If you think you may pass a Democrat on the street while on your way to Starbucks: bring a camera. Getting the picture?

    The Real Mob

    “Rather than doing what they were elected to do — safeguarding wages and benefits for union members — they took cash and other bribes to turn a blind eye on contractors’ schemes to cheat the rank and file” As Swamp Yankee noted earlier today, the AFL-CIO is going all-in on the healthcare debate.
