Sacramento Teamster attacks counter-protester.


There’s just something special about seeing a would-be member of the modern Left’s Sturmabteilung shove around a counter-protester while screaming about ‘fascists.’  I assume that’s why the report is that this is a MoveOn.org guy: that sort of behavior is precisely the sort of room-temperature IQ maneuver that you’d expect from that crowd.

Note that the counter-protester got shoved twice; also note that Mr. Brownshirt was fully decked out in his gang leathers Teamster jacket in the process.  Hey, why don’t you sing “Look for the Union Label” next time you commit assault for the cameras?  That should really bring the message home that you’re operating under the sanction of your union.

Via @brooksbayne.

Moe Lane (crosspost)

PS: I fully expect this kind of situation to escalate until somebody’s dead or seriously injured.  And I expect that to happen because the union goons that Dick Trumka is currently winding up and setting loose don’t understand that cameras are everywhere now, and that threats of violence and/or acts of intimidation are not going to be sufficient this time.  So the unions will get more violent, and it will get caught on tape, and that’s when things will get truly ugly.

So now would be a good time for the union leadership to start walking back from all of this.  They won’t, because the union leadership has a collective mental map of the political landscape that’s twenty years out of date, but they should.

That should be “Look for the Union/OfA/DNC Label”.

And I share your concern that this will get uglier before it’s through.

Excellent Clip...

saccrewdog Sunday, February 27th at 2:19AM EDT (link)

Especially from the standpoint of illustrating the differences between the Tea Partiers and the union crowd – Reasoned argument vs slogans and noise. Seeing this crowd reminds me of the opening scenes of “2001: A Space Odyssey” wherein the apes were hooting and hollering at the obelisk. The public-sector unions simply do not “get” that their wages are paid for out of the taxpayers’ pockets. Personally, I’m fed up with my taxes going to pay the wages that are skimmed off into union dues that are in turn used to buy dem politicians who in turn mortgage our children’s futures to pay off their supporters.

 

Yeah, it was good horsemanship and crowd control there.

Oh, nice to know about the old embed. I usually right click and then click copy embed code. This gives you an embed inside of an object instead of an iframe, and then I delete the object since some sites don’t like the style attribute. I tried to use height, width=”100%” like the original video in the diary in order to size it right, but apparently that doesn’t work so well in the comments.

The union protests at all the state capitols aren’t just a coincidental reaction to Wisconsin. With everything going on in the middle east, I think the unions are engaged in a coordinated effort to overthrow the heads of state in every country and finally have their global worker’s revolution. Scary stuff people. Things could get out of hand fast.

Perhaps I should say “take control of government” instead of “overthrow heads of state”. Heck, SEIU is Service Employees International. Ayers and Dohrn were agitating in Egypt just a few months ago. Communists always talk about a worldwide uprising of the proletariat. “Workers of the world unite”, and all that.

Have you been out on the streets talking to these people. They openly advocate revolution. They talk about democracy in the Venezuelan sense, not a word about a Constitutional Republic. Or are you part of them? Your name sure sounds much like a communist slogan. You obviously don’t understand what is going on in our country today. Did you even watch the video Moe posted? You think these people are just peaceful protesters who want democracy? If you ever get a chance to attend one of their rallies you will think differently. They are more than willing to get violent. They would have attacked us in Denver had the police not been there. This is what they want in all 50 states. If you’re just going to keep burying your head in the sand, then please do it elsewhere instead of fouling up my posts. If we lose our nation to communism, it will be because of people like you. I thought that even if you didn’t like Palin, you still supported freedom. Arg! Behavior like this makes me so mad. We are losing our country and you can’t be bothered to lift a finger. You are actually working against people trying to save it. Please get out of the way and let people who care about our country fix it.

This is where it’s headed. O fired up the union in WI, and the “flee” rats backed themselves into a corner. The union now has to blow up the situation to cover the back ends of flee rats. This is purposely done. They want to see an Egypt right here. And then our rights go out the window.

 
 

Moe, I would use a different lyric

legacyrepublican Sunday, February 27th at 1:54AM EDT (link)

Moe,

I think you got the right song, you just need to update the song to a more truthful lyric.

It really should go ….

“Look for the Union Libel,
When you are out there protesting the national debt

Remember somewhere the Unions sewing
your money going to get the Dems relected

We really don’t work hard and we’re complaining
Thanks to the taxpayer you’re paying our way

So always look for the union libel
It says we are able to turn us into the U.S.S.R”

It may need a little work, but I think it is a much more accurate lyric than the old one.

Just a thought from someone in a right to work state

good one legacy

This is serious.

Yes it is

legacyrepublican Sunday, February 27th at 3:18AM EDT (link)

Yes it is serious.

I think the best and most accurate response to whatever IST they use in our fact, racist, facist, etc, is to use this in theirs …

STOP THIEF! or You’re a thief! or THIEF!

Because, that is what they really are. They steal from our production because they believe they can.

As my late father-in-law so accurately put it, “they steal from you believing what they steal from you is theirs and you have no right to it.”

So, why not call them what they are.

Fed. public sector unions are prohibited from striking right (carter adm.)? Doesn’t this constitute a wildcat strike? All participants can be fired. “Blue flu’s” included.

 

The unions are dead.

hoosierteacher (Diary) Sunday, February 27th at 12:36PM EDT (link)

The unions are dead, they just don’t know it yet.

In the current battles in NJ and WI, the unions have picked a fight with governors who finaly have the cajones to stand up to them. As a result, the public is finaly seeing what unions are about – outragous entitlements to public workers at the expense of the taxpayers and bankrupt budgets.

And now things get worse for the unions. First, they get exposed for what they are (they aren’t for education or students; they’re for fat paychecks and benefits). Second, they get exposed in new media for what they are – violent thugs. Third, we get a bonus because the democrats and the left wing media are associating themselves with the unions’ cause.

As a bonus of the quickly approaching “end of the line” for public unions in the US, we get the icing on the cake – independent voters will take out their displeasure on democrats in the voting booth, and will further the decline of left wing media (network news and newspapers).

We’re winning bigger than we could have imagined, even after “just” winning the house. Our state leaders (at least some of them) are showing the way. If a leader stands up to the pressure of the media and the unions, people will learn the truth.

All of this has washed into a perfect storm against the unions, both in terms of PR and actual legislation. I expect the best is yet to come (more states being emboldened, as well as a national level sentiment to outright discard unions both public and private).

The communists won't stop

izoneguy (Diary) Sunday, February 27th at 12:55PM EDT (link)

The unions were part of the communists push to undermine America. They won’t stop just because they were beaten at the ballot box. Obama will try to keep undermining America by using his leftists judges to keep up the pressure. The money from off-shore will keep pumping the communists up for awhile.
We must strangle the unions and show America that “collective bargaining” is just another term for stealing.

The communists will stop.

hoosierteacher (Diary) Sunday, February 27th at 2:11PM EDT (link)

They’re dying as a movement worldwide (it doesn’t work).

The Soviet Union is still corrupt, but communism has given way to a mix of mob run capitalism and socialism overseen by a corrupt parlimentary system. Russia remains very dangerous (more dangerous than I expect most people realize), but it is a shadow of the former USSR.

China remains communist, but an incredible amount of the country is following the lead of Hong Kong. China is still far behind, and far from free, but they are catching up in terms of technology. More of their people are waking up too, and revolution won’t be far behind (or a rocky transition). The only true communist countries left are dead in the water – Cuba (they won’t last) and N. Korea (literaly starving to death).

There will always be unions, but unions as we know them are in their last throes.

Just as we fought Communism before, the next battle is radical Islam. Before the communists it was the facist socialists (nazis). Before that, we saw republics against monarchies (the 19th and 18th centuries). We can keep finding old enemies from before then with different names. But our fight against communism is almost complete as we’ve won the global war, and we now fight off the last vestiges of communism (their proxies the unions). As we move ahead, I think we’ll fight radical Islam, both on a global level (military and terror) and local (sharia law, multi-culturalism, etc).

Like with war on communism, we’ll have to clean up some areas in our own country long after the big war is won. We won WW2, and only a few radical groups remain to represent nazis, a shadow of the former selves worthy only of laughter. Unions are similar violent shadows of communism and will be the subject of laughter soon too. When Radical Islam is finaly driven from the middle east (and some major act of terror, perhaps nuclear, will bring us to going all out to end radical Islam) we’ll still have pockets of radical groups to clean up.

I remember growing up with communism and unions and thinking they would always be here. I imagine we’ll think the same way about radical Islam someday as well.

The Teamster Thug even went TO the Tea Party Patriot to attack him!

Patricia_C (Diary) Sunday, February 27th at 7:09PM EDT (link)

The Tea Party guy was simply exercising the same right to express himserlf as the liberal idiots that surrounded him. The Tea Party guy was not being confrontational, he was not “getting in their faces” the way Obama had told his followers to do with those who disagreed with their agenda. He was just there to make use of his right to oppose them… so the Union Thug went TO him, and got in his face and shoved him in a effort to intimidate him with the threat of physical harm to make him shut up and go away.

Maybe he didn’t get that memo from Obama about the need to tone down all of that violent political rhetoric that was blamed for the incident in Arizona.

Moe wrong on two counts

Plumb_Bob (Diary) Monday, February 28th at 8:55AM EDT (link)

First, Kenneth Gladney was already been seriously injured by SEIU thugs. It had gone too far nearly a year and a half ago. And I doubt that he’s the only one.

Second, the SEIU is not behind 20 years in their mentality; it’s more like 140 years.

Moe’s rhetoric about how this is going to “escalate until somebody’s dead or seriously injured” when it already has, illustrates why conservatives will NOT win this fight without a significant change in mentality. The left has long since demonstrated that reasonable discourse will not dissuade, discourage, or impede their march toward totalitarian statism. They intend absolute tyranny. And they already call us violent thugs, even though we’re not. There is no reason for us to continue to function within the system, which is already broken beyond repair. The war should have begun years ago.

So long as we continue to pretend that the system is still working, and say ridiculous things like “this will end in violence” when the violence has already come upon us, they’re going to push us around, because the simple truth is that they’re meaner than we are. We lack the will to fight back in kind, and they know it. It’s time to stop being nice, and hit back.
