St. Louis County police say six people were arrested. Two of those were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started.
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.

SEIU Front Group Declares War On Tea Party Patriots
Gathering of Eagles: NY
Healthcare for America Now (HCAN), front group for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), has declared war on Tea Party Patriots and concerned Americans. Using their astroturf campaign and their surrogates, the labor union movement is trying to destroy healthcare for those Americans who are not exempt, like themselves, from the nationalized healthcare they support. Not surprisingly, the SEIU enjoys a curiously close relationship with the White House.

Wild Thing’s comment……
U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis…issued a statement after the Thursday night’s forum, saying:
“Sadly we’ve seen stories about disrupters around the country, and we have a handful of them here in Missouri. Instead of participating in a civil debate, they have mobilized with special interests in Washington who have lined their pockets by overcharging Americans for a broken health care system.”
Carnahan did not offer any comment about Gladney. He didn’t wish him a speedy recovery. He didn’t condemn the attack. Absolutely Nothing. So, does that mean Carnahan is okay with this beating? It’s not even worth a comment?! We call on Rep. Carnahan to immediately denounce this beating and to call Mr. Gladney to apologize. President Obama also should condemn this black on black beating and urge calm at the town halls. Instead he is pouring fire on the flames.
The dirty little secret is the dems want this to happen.

Some of these union workers best start thinking about this health care bill. Seeing their leaders are so in bed with Democrats, their medical coverage may be some of the fist to come under Obamacare. After all, what better way for union bosses to make more $$$$$ than to transfer their medical coverage to the government. Many unions have good coverage but they won’t for long under Obama.
I thought America was still a free country to decide what political party you want to be. All this guy was doing was selling buttons, pins and little flags for a little extra spending money and this SEIU guy decided it was wrong? I would say that’s terrorism in itself. I worry now, that on the 22nd when we have our local healthcare rally that someone might start a fight and one of mine will get hurt. We don’t start it-they do.
The Election is over. They are suppose to represent all the citizens, regardless of their stripes. Not any more. The democrats want to divide the country. We are the enemy, they want to take everything away from us and give it to THEIR chosen made up victims.
The arrest of Professor Gates by a white cop and obama’s statement of the cops being stupid was telling, he slipped up, but now we know, as if WE had to be told, what is behind the curtain.
These Social-communist want nothing to do with us this has been made clear in Town Hall meeting after townhall meeting.
Its time for Torches, Pitchforks and rope.
Clinton’s “endless campain’ is back, this time armed with fists,boots, clubs and God knows what. The SEIU (Service Employess International Union- sounds Marxist enough to me) are Omama’s blue-shirted Brown Shirts. How far will they push us ? Question-how many of these “union workers” have real jobs and how many are professional picketers/”activists”/thugs ?
Ann Coulter said at the Washington DC YAF Conference (www.yaf.org) on Saturday night that she thought Obama’s polls would drop in office after one year, not SIX MONTHS! How sweet it is!!
He’s dropped quicker than Jimmy Hamas Carter in 1977.
Kenneth Gladney is black, he was beat up by a bunch of punk Union Thugs. Isn’t this a Hate crime ? Where is obamas outrage when one of his brothers is attacked by these White thugs. Where’s Jesse Jackson demanding an investigation, where is Charlie Rangles outrage at this hate crime. Seems to me obamas outrage is selective at best.
BobF., excellent point.
Lynn, just a feeling I have but I think
since they are seeing this kind of thing
so early, the left might see it is not
a good idea and it only makes them look
bad.
Mark, your right and I sure hope this
comes back to bite them big time.
Willy, good point.
It reminds me of Clinton’s dixie
mafia only these people are more
obvious and do it right in front
of cameras and crowds.
Darth, LOL and I am so glad he is
sinking in the polls.
Thanks Darth.
