Face it, unions are nothing more than the fundraising arm of liberal politics. No one on the left gives a damn about the workers, they care only about collecting union dues from paychecks. All this false outrage is touching though...bless your little hearts.
Has anyone seen any coverage of the violence on the Obamamedia? I seem to remember how they covered any rumor (and that is all they could find) of violence from the Teaparty. I wonder why they are ignoring this violence.
When Right-wing groups send people to these events to get in people's faces strictly for the camera and their own personal notoriety, you'd have to be a sucker to believe that it wasn't all pre-planned. Crowley provoked people in a tense situation for one reason. That is what he set out to do. If I walk into a biker bar and call everyone in the place a low-life loser do I deserve to be beaten to a pulp? Not legally for sure but common sense keeps me from doing such a stupid thing. Now Fox gets to run highly edited video 24/7 and Crowley gets his 15 minutes of fame and in all likelihood a Fox gig. There is only one solution to this type of behavior, one of these provocateurs has to be disappeared as a warning to the rest of those who wish to exploit Right-wing attacks on the working people of this country. Extreme? Oh yeah, but it might lessen the violence down the road. Sad that we've come to this but the abuse of power usually has deadly consequences.
You don't believe that Crowder went there to incite violence? You're so gullible. Accounts by several crowd members said that he spent the morning antagonizing everyone he could until he finally shoved some guy to the ground and got punched for it. These are just working stiffs that are trying to defend their jobs. They are not sophisticated and they can be provoked if you try hard enough. Gullible people like you eat every piece of crap they dangle down your throats. Could you be any dumber?
OMG!! You really think words are a justification for violence, don't you?!! So would this be enough justification? or this?
Crowder is a comedian. He didn't "incite" anyone to violence. He was asking questions and the union thugs (who you call "not sophisticated") reacted violently. That's exactly what I'm talking about. The violence needs to end. Don't perpetuate it and don't condone it. Plus, just who do you think you are calling these people "not sophisticated"? I'm certain many of them have more education than you and are much more pleasant to be around. You're just an elitist, liberal snob. Antagonizing? ANTAGONIZING? If you think asking questions at a public rally in a public place is antagonizing (or asking for violence to be committed) then you're waaaaaay off-base. What the hell are you talking about? Who did he shove to the ground? Everyone who works is a "working stiff", dumbass. Even you. They're not "defending their jobs". Their jobs are still there. They're just trying to deny the rights of other workers who want a choice whether or not to join a union and/or pay union dues. Forcing workers to pay union dues is something akin to what socialist nazis would do. Give the workers a choice, damn it.
See, when you let a liberal run it's mouth long enough you will finally get to the truth! The "working stiff" "unsophisticated" workers are merely pawns for the left. *Just to keep score, it appears lil joe moen & that new guy are the elitists here
After years of listening to Little Joe, I don't think he's lying about his elitist status. He's definitely a left-wing, elitist snob. The new guy? Well, I'm not so certain. He won't answer questions and is probably lying about owning a company. He doesn't know whether or not his employees are unionized, so that sure doesn't sound to me like an owner of a company. At least any owner who knows what the hell is going on.
You know the saying about needing to hit rock-bottom before you can realize your mistake? We're getting there as a country. If that's what it takes, that's what it takes. One thing is certain, as the nation claws it's way down, you can expect some violence along the way. Not good, but understandable. The alternative is republicans could cease harming the nation. I don't see that happening, since they can't see what they are doing, but who knows, maybe they'll see the bottom and think twice about going there, but that would require a sanity they haven't shown in decades. Wishful thinking lol
So you think you can justify their violence against Crowder (BTW, he did not shove anyone), then how do you justify their violence against Clint Tarver? Oh! And calling him "uncle Tom" and Nigger, maybe that was justification for Clint to resort to violence, but he did not.
Ask a valid question, get a dense and obtuse answer... anyway... I really don't know where you stand on the issue of "freedom of choice for the workers", Takiji. Do you agree that it's in the best interest of the workers to have the freedom to choose to join the union and to have the freedom to NOT join the union? Do you think it's in their best interest to be forced to pay union dues whether or not they're a member of the union?
