SEIU ( Service Employees International Union’) was recruited by Dems to quash the dissent to Obamacare. The Service Employees International Union’s $61 million investment into head Chicago Thug Obama also gets them a chance to be his hoods at the protests at the Town Hall’s. So far it has happened in Tampa and St. Louis.
.
Tampa, Florida……. ..Ybor City is a small little city very close to Tampa, so it gets on the Tampa news a lot.It is a over and hour away from where I live. I saw this on the news and looked for the video on it to show you. Town Hall Protesters were …… Not Let In Event For Rep. Kathy Castor…Listen to this Rep. Kathy Castor’s LIES.
They filled the event with their own people, the protesters were not allowed in the room intentionally after waiting 2-3 hours
“I was there! We were near the front of the line. When the doors were opened, we saw that about half the seats were already occupied. It was obvious the organizers were stacking the audience with supporters.Castor blew us off. ” ~ Tampa resident
.
Kathy Castor’s union thugs beat up a guy (in the green shirt) and shut the doors to prevent the opposing opinions from being heard. …This seemed to be closer and at a different angle. Their commie leader Obama gave them orders today.
.
Union guy in greenish print shirt and Union guy in white shirt are the Union muscle who worked over the man with the torn shirt. But also watch as the beefy guy in the white shirt start to chokehold a man in an aqua colored shirt and then stops and he and the other beefy guy go back into the meeting room. Chicago style Democrat political violence, directed by Barack Obama.
Victim of Attack at Healthcare Townhall Speaks of Union Thugs
.
Over 1,000 St. Louis Tea Party Taxpayers showed up to attend the Russ Carnahan town hall meeting in South St. Louis.
In ithis video you can see a Carnahan supporter allowed into the meeting at Bernard Middle School through a side door. There were 1,000 tea party taxpayers stranded outside the main door.
When two SEIU members attempted to get in the same side door marked “handicapped” the crowd went nuts and blocked them at the door. Did you notice how nonchalant the SIEU members were about getting inside the door? Like they knew right where to go.The Carnahah staff was sneaking in SIEU members in the side door .marked “handicapped.”
Inside the gym they roped off two sections. One was for the tea party taxpayers and quickly filled up when they opened the doors at 6:00 PM.
The other section was marked “reserved” and this section was saved for the union members.
The rest of the crowd was locked out!
UNREAL!
…..Thank you Eden for these videos on St. Louis, I really appreciate it.
.
After being locked out of the Russ Carnahan town hall in south St. Louis, the 1,000 strong Tea Party Mob broke out in song outside the meeting. The crowd was not pleased that the Carnahan people were sneaking in union thugs at this door on the side of building.
Update: Violence erupts after Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-MO) town hall on health care, six arrests made
It appears I made the mistake of leaving a town hall once the Representative departed. After Russ Carnahan left from a town hall which became centered on health care reform violence erupted outside the middle school where the town hall was held.
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.
“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.
A friend of Gladney who claims to have seen the entire event has posted his account of the altercation in the comment section of my previous post. The identity of this friend has not yet been confirmed and it is important to note that all these claims are just allegations at this point and not proven fact. Having said that, here story according to David C. Brown, friend of Gladney:
I was at the event. My name is David Brown. I am an atty in St. Louis. My friend, Kenneth Gladney, who is black, was passing out Don’t Tread on Me Flags and Tea Party buttons at the end of the event to Tea Party supporters and conservatives. He was then called a racial slur by two SEIU members. He was then attacked by two black males (SEIU reps) and white male, another SEIU rep., and a white woman. The punched him in the face and he fell to the ground. He was then kicked and punched by all four. One fled on foot, and three were arrested. Kenneth was taken to St. John’s Mercy Hospital to the emergency room. He has suffered numerous injuries. For more information, please contact me at PHONE NUMBER EDITED OUT. Thank you.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch has confirmed that Gladney is being treated for injuries at a local hospital. At this point SEIU has not released any statement related to the event that I can find. I will update this piece with any version of events from SEIU as any information becomes available.
Meet one of the people our elected representatives are afraid of – Dana Loesch. She is interviewed here by Greta Van Susteren of On the Record. Dana is one of the tea party organizers in St. Louis, MO and has attended townhall meetings with her representatives. People that dare to ask questions of the people paid to represent them are now enemies of this administration.
No questions can be asked of this administration or Congress without the person asking the question being attacked.
Democrats slam town-hall protests as ‘phony’
Majority Leader Harry Reid
Waving Astroturf at Press Briefing
Harry Reid: GOP ‘run by a talk show host’
August 6, 2009
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid launched his harshest attack on the Republican Party in months, claiming the GOP is “being run by a talk show host.”
Reid, armed with a patch of Astroturf, slammed Republicans for sponsoring town hall attacks on Democrats and accused the party of waging a barricade on Democratic efforts to pass health care reform legislation.
“I just want to show you what Astroturf really is,” Reid said to laughter. “They’re taking their cues from talk show hosts, Internet rumor mongers, and insurance rackets.”
“I just think, as I’ve said before, it’s not often that you try to blow yourself up, but that’s obviously what they’re trying to do with all this vexatious stuff they’re doing with these meetings, the birthers. It’s a party being run by a talk show host,” Reid said.
“We’ve all heard by now the response of Republicans to what we’re trying to do here on healthcare: yelling, kicking, screaming, interrupting meetings. You’ve read about their AstroTurf campaign. They want to convince people they’re grassroots, and they’re not. It’s as phony as this is grass.”
The Obama website is asking supporters to attend Obamacare town halls during the August recess to counter the massive wave of opposition to government takeover of the health care industry:
Message from the President: “This is the moment our movement was built for.”
For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.
Home is where we’re strongest. We didn’t win last year’s election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you’re willing to step up once again, that’s exactly where we’re going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.
There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we’ve got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.
That’s why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you’re counting on them to act.
But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here’s what I need from you:
Can you commit to join at least one event in your community this month?
In politics, there’s a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it’ll be easy. Well, let’s be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.
But every day we don’t act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.
So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don’t know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what’s easy, and doing what’s right.
This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?
Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:
http://my.barackobama.com/CommitAugust ( OMG this freak Obama even has a video of himself giving ia speech at this link. Screw you Obama ~ Wild Thing)
Let’s seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama
Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, they told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out. And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.
“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,”
U.S. Rep. Brian Baird (D) Vancouve, Washington, Plans ‘Telephone town hall’ will replace meeting
Baird said Wednesday, he’s holding what he calls “telephone town halls” instead.
Baird said he’s using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning “an ambush” to disrupt his meetings, using methods Baird compared to Nazism.
“What we’re seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics,” Baird, D-Vancouver, said in a phone interview. “I mean that very seriously.”
Pam Benson of Larch Mountain, 62, said she realizes Baird disagrees with her on health care reform…
“He’s supposed to be our representative,” said Benson, a purchasing manager for Portland Cascade Architecture and Engineering in Portland. “He’s supposed to listen to us, whether he’s on our side or not.”…
“We are not nut cases that disagree with this issue,” she said. “There are a lot of very well-informed people that are against this health care thing.”
.
Wild Thing’s comment……
Never in my life have I seen anything like this.
I have been to rally’s, pro Bush Rally’s both times he ran for President and also Pro Troops rallies. Usually the left will just give us the middle finger, some foul language and insults but nothing organized like this with UNION thugs being at a rally. And NEVER at any rally I went to were people sent from the President to cause trouble, do harm or keep those that love America from being able to speak or show support.
‘Punch back twice as hard’
Oh, are elected reps are gonna punch us? LOL But it wouldn’t be a fair fight, they would not have a chance against our side, with all our Veterans and people with red/white/and blue in our veins. Hello memo to the “Magic Kenyan”: the Independants who got you elected are running away from you as fast as they can. OMG Look at what they are saying……..Fight back? They are SUPPOSED to be LISTENING to the people who elected them.
And they have the nerve to allege that WE are “Astroturfing”?
That new DNC ad I posted says, “They’ve lost the election.” So what, now ONLY dems get represented??? What a joke..Liberals. They run fast when confronted by TAXPAYERS. In person. How dare they bite the hands that feed them.
Here are just a few things I learned but only from the rallies I have done in the past, and some suggestions from what I am observing in the protests about the healthcare.
If you are going to go to one please be careful and if you can bring cameras , heck even a video camera if possible, when attending Obamacare town halls if you can. If not don’t worry about it, it just helps if some of the people on the side of America have things video taped. If you live where it is hot outside, please take water with you. They might not have any there, and even if they did have a water fountain inside they might not let you in as we saw how they kept people out at the town hall meeting in Tampa. Wear comfy shoes, you might have to stand a long time.
Here is something from an email I got from a friend that lives up in Tampa that went to the Tampa Town hall meeting.
“We had a blast. Just take to the streets me Buckos. The cops mostly are always on our side, just as they were in the pro troops rallies you and I did together in the past. Sometimes a few will be owned by ACORN , but on the most part the cops rather stand with us against the left. This is our chance to speak out, to let them know we are not going to take it anymore and that we do not want Obama’s socialized health care. NO Pinko health care. They can’t debate, the are blowing wind and that is why they are freaking out too. The left does not believe in free speech and they think of most of us as sitting at home and waiting to vote instead of going into action.
Well I was there they had a 200 person room prefilled with Union and Acorn thugs. 2000 regular taxpayers showed up on 8 hrs. notice and were not allowed in the meeting. The Congresscommie Kathy Castor had to beat a hasty retreat after the Taxpayers surrounded the Bldg. The Taxtakers went in to a total panic. The whole thing was a set up that will be repeated across the country I think now that Obama has put the word out in his hate memo to “Punch back twice as hard”.
Ya gotta be there to see how weak these Libs are though when confronted by actual TAXPAYERS. And the guy that was attacked by the UNION goons will see justice done. The bigger UNION guys you see in the videos they probably work with ACORN a lot. Not sure just my guess. The Tampa cops will deal with them in their own way. Believe it. This isn’t Venezuela. They are ruffling the wrong feathers here. Big time. Cops are fed up with the gangs in Tampa, you don’t have that in Sarasota where you live, hell you live in an almost all white city. LOL And mostly Republican. On the let’s still be careful note, Nick and your Veterans with Team Theodore are right, I read your blog every day and they know. Buy more ammo Chrissie I know you think you have enough but you need more. Just in case and if this bill passes. The dems will send the ACORNs down to Sarasota from Tampa, bet on it.
We are in the fight for our country and we might as well have fun along the way. I say do the Town Hall if there will be one down there and be careful. I think the ones at the end of the month will be the ones that will be the worst since this thing is building. This whole thing has to be laid at the feet of Obama. He knows most of America does not want this, he just wants to be the one to claim it as his. Hell he even said he does not know what is in it. It is Congresses health care bill more then his, he is too stupid to put one together. Stay strong, stay safe and we ARE making a difference and it feels damn sweet. We are standing along side our Founding Fathers and it feels damn good.
So I’m a right wing extremist, mobster, village idiot. All I do is sit in my chair with my little signs to protest what I believe is wrong. Didn’t they do that, too? How about Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink and the Westboro Baptist Church? They got “good” publicity from the media. But us, oh, we can’t do that. We’re beating them at their own game and they don’t like it. My children and grandchildren deserve better than what Obama and his Obamanites can give to America.
In these days of communist party take over of our once great country, a true patriot can never have enough ammunition. I’ll be stocking up again this weekend. May I suggest others do the same.
Wow, you did an excellent job of pulling all that together!
The picture of the guy with the torn shirt from Florida is worth a 1000 words to illustrate how these union people are behaving.
I woke up at 1 a.m. and got on the net and couldn’t believe all the shit hitting the fan all over the internet in videos and people’s responses to these incidents. Pretty much people are pissed and boo hissing any obots that still drink the kool aid and are trying to defend this stuff.
You know, they don’t get it. It’s simple. It’s not that we don’t want better health care, fraud reform, etc…it’s the terms in this ridiculous bunch of bills they have yet to cobble together that are what piss people off. Way way too vague, and that’s obviously on purpose so down the road it can be interpretted to suit the agenda as they see fit. And the congress critters even brag that they haven’t read the damn shit.
It makes me proud to see other people being patriotic and expressing themselves and asserting their rights, and not letting themselves be intimidated.
My wife was telling me that some of the nurses on her floor are starting websites to counteract some of the mis-information.
We are going to see Spectre on the Aug. 11 so we will see how many Union thugs are there, with camera.
Obama sent Emails out to his ACORN and SEIU thugs two days ago and here they are. What is disgusting is Obama himself is trying to take away our 1st Amendment right to peacable assembly and dissent by bussing in these Union Thugs. To bust heads. Jihad works two ways. According to one soldier.
If this keeps up there will be violence and obama knows that, this is what he wants. I don’t know where this will end but it can’t be good. He’s trying to divide us and then conquer. The next thing will be to send the thugs to our homes. When that happens there will be violence.
Oh, I forgot to say….I got the link to that stuff in St. Louis from a middle-of-the-night tweet from Glenn Beck. Kind of funny, I know he’s a fellow ADHD’er and we were both up at the same time in the middle of the night. That’s how we roll…can only sleep a few hours at a time without meds.
His shows have been outstanding lately. They have always been good, been watching him 4 years, but lately I can’t miss hardly a minute of his shows. He is on a mission!
When I went on vacation I looked (didn’t ask) in several bookstores in the big airports I went through and none of them had any conservative author’s books that I could find, especially not out front…even though many of their books are top of the sellers’ lists. I was going to buy his Common Sense book but I guess I’ll have to order it (or 3 or 4 to give away–they are cheap) from Amazon.
I hear people saying that Obama won’t win re-election in 2012. I honestly don’t think he’s worried about that. The country is dividing 7 months into his reign. I can’t envision what it will look like 3 years from now. By then, we will have either thrown him out, or he will be the USA version of Hugo Chavez. Maybe I need to read up on the mood of the country in 1860 to see if we are on the same path. As Tampa Bay shows, people are on the edge. First the fists then the bullets.
You nailed it Jim. He is dividing the country. What I can’t believe is these Congressmen and Senators or not even seeing what is happening in front of their eyes. They are ignoring it. Is this the kind of country they want, Free speech for ONLY those they agree with ?
Do not think in terms of 1860. The Federal military power is an order of magnitude greater than the combined power of all of the states. Resistance to defend the constitution in that direction is futile.
The question to ask instead is if the National Command Authority (Obama) starts, giving illegal orders how many of the military know what to do. The Civil Service will obey illegal orders.
Damn right Eddie, more ammo. It is still selling out at most places. Patriots are getting ready.
The Democrats have been using union thugs for years to intimidate. Now we have a president who is using them while he builds his Brown Shirt civilian army.
Iagree with Jim and Mark. obama is dividing the country. Sadly it will be blamed as a race war as 95% of Blacks agree with whatever obama says. But it will really be a war between socialism and The US Constitution. We are seeing an Orwell novel coming to life right before our eyes.
These town hall meetings and Tea Parties are going to educate a lot of people and open a lot of eyes. obama will find out that there are a lot of Americans who are not a dumbed down programmed robot. We are a formidable foe.
We are organizing and gathering via the computer. This is the reason obama wants to control the Internet, a la Red China, Iran and N Korea. obam is trying to kill our First Amendment rights while he pulls America out of a constitutional republic and into a socialist paradise like Cuba.
Buy ammo.
Now the DNC is deploying union grunts while dismissing Obamacare opponents as paid shills -even running disengenuous TV ads to slander them- while SanFranNan is halucinating and seeing imaginary Swastikas- this should make clear to anyone just what these far-left elitists think of your opinion.
Note that whenever Obama, Emanuel, or Gibbs are asked about why polls show SO many people oppose their misguided Cap-n-Trade and Obamacare proposals, they ALWAYS segue-right-into “we need to educate the public…”.
LOL- save your breath- Constitutionally-aware patriots don’t take lectures from Marxists.
Lynn, you are sooo right.
giggle yes that is what you are
and me too and all of us. Just think we
could have only been on the DHS list
and now we have more to add to the lists
we are on. This is crazy and totally
un-American and it all comes from Obama
and his people.
I never thought a person with a Flag
on their shirt and wanting to keep
government small and out of our lives
would be so hated. amazing
cuchieddie, this is all happening so fast.
Not that if it happened slow it would be
any better but so much every day, it is
hard to keep up with all the things to
be ticked off about.
Yes buy ammo.
Eden, thank you so much. And thank you big
time for the videos.
Mark, oh wow that is fantastic what you
said about some of the nurses. They need
to know too we are supportive of them too
this effects them as much as it does all of
us.
Eden, one of my nephews has ADHD.
I told him I don’t have ADHD, but I do
have blogging syndrom hahaa stay up all
night to do posts. Helaughed and said
well at least he knew he was not the
only one awake in the middle of the
night.
Jim, excellent point, that worries me a lot.
He is not the kind of man that puts country
first, he hates America and his plans are
endless.
Your right too about dividing our country
and they could make it where he stayed in
forever.
Avitar, that is another thing to think
about too, thanks for pointing it out.
Tom, thank you sooo much.
Your right too and it helps to hear this said.
“obama will find out that there are a lot of Americans who are not a dumbed down programmed robot. We are a formidable foe. “
Reaganite Republican, LOL your so right
that is exactly what they do.
Love your blog, Reaganite Republican.
