At About 5 PM Eastern yesterday, a bitterly ironic post entitled “Stop the violence at health care town halls” was published on the official blog of the Service Employees International Union.
Over the last 24 hours, almost 40 comments have been posted on that entry, spelling out America’s opinion in the public option debate: that the government should keep it’s grubby hands off.
Then, at about 6:30 PM today, 36 of the 38 comments posted on that entry were scrubbed by the SEIU. As I write, only two comments remain on the thread.
The comments were not deleted before a full page screenshot could be obtained. Posted below is a cropped version of the screenshot, showing the original 38 comments posted. Click on the image to see the full-size view of the page.


George, that is incredible and thanks for posting.
penguin2 Saturday, August 8th at 7:22PM EDT (link)I am amazed and I have to admit delighted, to see members of their own party telling them they are wrong. These are the very people I hope will rethink their vote the next time around. Maybe, some of their constituencies won’t be so willing to do everything they’re told to do and begin to think for themselves.
Were you the one that had the screen shot? With the Power of the Internet, we finally have some tools to beat.
It has been said, the Republicans were late to the technology world in the game of politics, but no one said we couldn’t catch up.

For those of you who struggle with what goes on, who see retreat and capitulation, and who feel like not just your political opponents, but those who hold dear all those things you hold as blasphemous — be cheerful. Be happy. Victory is already yours.

Geo, in the spirit of emailing the bill to WH.gov,

Said by liberals. Free Republic was ginning up protests in front of the White House before Matt Drudge exposed Clinton as a philanderer. And that was before the Swift Vets hosed John Kerry with (mostly) web ads.

I don't see one single comment
itrytobenice Saturday, August 8th at 8:00PM EDT (link)that supports them. I have a feeling the silent majority may not be silenced this time.
The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Hopefully the SEIU will ruin any chance at Card Check
Scope Sunday, August 9th at 5:05PM EDT (link)if anyone even considers bringing it up after this. The SEIU has once again given a bad name to unions, even to their own members. Thanks Glenn Beck for doing so much research on the SEIU, and, bringing to light just how corrupt they are.
glad you got the screen shot
Lisa in Maryland Sunday, August 9th at 6:10PM EDT (link)I’m sure they would never want this to stay up for long. Their own members turning on them. Unions have lost their purpose–making sure you are paid over time, for all hours worked, safety issues, ect… Now they are legalized extortionists who use their members to gain power and money by holding companies hostage, even if it drives them in the bankruptcy–Chevy & Chrysler can’t compete in the global market because they are unionized and have to pay outrageous benefits that no company in their right mind would pay. There needs to be reform of union laws to prevent this from happening–like a company should have the right to challenge a strike and a unions list of demands because it is not feasible for a company to maintain via a judge. I’m sure the Democrats would just love that idea.

loupgarou1317 Sunday, August 9th at 10:52PM EDT (link)My wife was screwed over by the UCFW when we needed them the most…..(might post reason) but taught her the reason I dislike unions in their current state. To use a phrase from WW2….They have awoken a sleeping giant………(Japanese Adm. right after Pearl Harbor) Are you ready?……I AM!
adding to this.....
loupgarou1317 Sunday, August 9th at 10:59PM EDT (link)went to the seiu site……..they tried to do it AGAIN…….(9:58pm cdt) and it had filled up more than what we have here!
Obamacare would create a huge bureaucracy that would be staffed with SEIU members
izoneguy Tuesday, August 11th at 12:32AM EDT (link)Obamacare would create a huge bureaucracy that would be staffed with SEIU members (most government workers are SEIU members). SEIU would collect a windfall in new union dues which would be fed back into Democrat politician’s campaign coffers.
It is about a permanent funding mechanism for the Democrat party.
Look at this info from Open Secrets….
These dems have raked in the most cash from union contributions.
Hoyer tops the list with $3,596,358
Edward Kennedy is 2nd with $2,741,591
Pelosi is 3rd with $2,737,550

Just counter Pelosi and Hoyer un-American accusations with these facts. National Health Care is a Union Trojan Horse…..
