FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

500 SEIU bully-boys vs. 1 14-year-old.

Admittedly, usually decent odds for the 14-year-old.

RESIZE: AAA

Nina Easton* got to meet the faux-populists of SEIU up close and personal:

Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is deputy general counsel for corporate law at Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), a senior executive based in Washington, D.C. And that — in the minds of the organizers at the politically influential Service Employees International Union and a Chicago outfit called National Political Action — makes his family fair game.

Waving signs denouncing bank “greed,” hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer’s steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer’s teenage son Jack — alone in the house — locked himself in the bathroom. “When are they going to leave?” Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.

Just a couple other things to note: the normally media-loving SEIU didn’t bring the media, the SEIU’s trying to unionize BoA, SEIU owes BoA several million dollars, and the intended victim is himself a Democrat.  AND HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, GREG? Anyway, read Big Journalism for more unsavory details – but guess what, taxpayers!  Your tax money was spent on police support for union intimidation of a child!  Doesn’t that make you all warm and fuzzy inside? – and check out Hot Air to see the video of the liberal defending the SEIU while pretending not to. 

You know, I’d ask what DCCC chair Chris Van Hollen (whose district this is) is planning to do about this particular act of union intimidation of a child, except that I’m too afraid that Van Hollen would tell us what he did when he heard about it…

*Yup, already smeared by the Left.  Incompetently, but that’s par for the course for Media Matters for America.

    object, he’s sold himself out before.
    Well some mobs are just better then other mobs, even when the other mobs can meet peacefully by the thousands and hardly leave their coffee cups behind them.
    It’s not original but this is beginning to take the appearance and character of the SA in 1920′s& 30′s Germany. Especially ugly is the rage directed at the Tea Party and the benign neglect shown to these vermin who await further marching orders.
    I wonder if they’ve started to hand out the lead pipes at SEIU headquarters.

  • joehnewyork

    Nady is so ugly it’s not his fault he wants to pick on little kids.
    Sieu almost killed Ken Gladney so this isn’t anything new. Please Check out song called teapartiers I can?t hear you at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJfboOindCo

    Brown Shits ——> Purple Shirts

    Same results.

  • romeg

    continues to build and results in election victories for true conservatives and libertarian minded individuals that one of the first things to happen will be the repeal of closed-shop laws throughout the land.

    Without the palsied hand of government, the unions would wither and die.

    This happened this past Sunday.

    Where are Papa and Mama Bair?

    If my cub had been treated this way, I’d be on every network. I’d have started a website posting the pictures of as many SEIU trespasser thugs as I could lay my hands on. When I got good IDs on them, I’d be looking for lawyers to sue.

    Has anyone seen anythng like this, at all? I didn’t think so.

    Seems to me that the SEIU has sized up Papa and Mama Bair accurately. They’re Democrats. Their neighbors are most likely Democrats. BOA is full of Democrats.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if Papa and Mama Bair don’t want to hurt their side by generating bad publciity.

    It also wouldn’t surprise me if the Bairs have received lots of private entreaties to keep quiet. I’ll bet they’ve been (a) assured that, next time, the dogs will be on a tighter leash and (b) they should “take one for the team.”

    When you lie down with dogs, Papa and Mama Bair…

    I propose we give these folks NO help until they ask for it. If they will not help themselves, I’m not all that interested in helping them.

    They picked their friends. Now they need to take their medicine.

    No, seriously.

    “[P]olice cars attached to the Washington MPD?s Civil Disturbance Unit had escorted the SEIU protesters? buses to Baer?s home…. The primary role of the Washington cops in this event was to protect the protesters.”

    So these busloads of organized thugs didn’t get a protest permit as required for the county they invaded, but they did arrange for DC police to escort them outside of DC because they were scared and felt they needed “protection”.

    I suspect a 14 year old southern boy might have had himself a little fun with this.

    It is truly disgusting, though. This is exactly how they bulliedsome of the banks into giving out many of those subprime loans.

    And I am in toal agreement with smagar…if that was anyone of my kids, I’d have been arrested, at the very least.

    Eh, heck, I may as well be honest, anyone of my kids would probably have been arrested long before I got there, for mooning the lot of them if nothing else.

    But these folks do seem strangely quiet, as smagar points out….

  • ocleverone

    Either way, I am smiling. :D

  • Robert A. Hahn

    What’s this about them arriving in school buses? Were these buses owned by a government agency? Which one?

  • lynnbo

    Michelle Obama knew this side of America democratic party when she stated America is a mean country. Now we are seeing how far the left will go and how far this administration will go to get what they want.

  • Flagstaff

    Too bad they’re shameless.

  • redneck_hippie

    at the state capitol in Trenton today

    I’m sure Chris was impressed.

  • Jack_Savage

    We get together and protest the company HQ.

    I would fire every one of the selfish, worthless bastards.

  • redneck_hippie

    by government. The train they are riding on will take them straight to Greece.

  • toadold

    There will be House subpoenas, House investigations, Grand Juries, convictions, jail time, and firings for Federal, State, and union officials who have conspired together to break the law.

  • loupgarou1317

    or anywhere else where they allow people to defend their homes!!

    Comrade Obama’s administration and his union thugs have now made it clear: they are all about intimidation and the implied threat of retaliation. Remember the McClean-Hilton speech? I “[d]on’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking.” Since free speech is protected by the Constitution, coming from the officeholder described in Article II who is charged with upholding the Constitution, that can only mean one thing. How’s an IRS audit sound, if you dare open your mouth?

    So SEIU brown shirts are bullying kids, terrifying your 14 year old? Isn’t it great to see their fear? And now the Dictator frothes his supporters into an angry mob, by intentionally mischaracterizing a state law he knows full well explicitly prohibits racial profiling — when he has done zero to close the border, one of his Constitutional duties. And for what, i) cheap political points, ii) pulling a fast-one on minority groups who aren’t fully informed to try and lock in their votes, or worse iii) to wreck more havoc with the system to see what happens, the classic Alinsky revolutionary tactic? He and his AG conveniently don’t read the law, but just go off what the newspapers say? Any way you look at it, it’s the conduct of a petty dictator.

    It’s terrifying that the United States is regressing 400 years. For now, the State is threatening to marshal its vast, unlimited resources for economic terrorism against its citizens, and is ready to unleash its union and minority mobs against any American who is decent, law-abiding and appalled. Pretty soon opposing King Obama’s misguided policies will be treason, like it was under the Tudor- and Stewart-Kings. Hold onto your seats. The flight only gets worse between now and November.
