Tea Party researchers have discovered some interesting news on one of the people arrested for beating Ken Gladney.
Elston K. McCowan is a former organizer – now the Public Service Director of SEIU Local 2000 – and board member of the Walbridge Community Education Center, and is a Baptist minister, has been a community organizer for more than 23 years, and now, he is running for Mayor of the City of St. Louis under the Green Party.
McCowan accused the Mayor of setting fire to his van . . . because that’s what big city mayors do in their spare time, I guess. He also called Slay a racist. And, on election night, McCowan thanked the family who voted for him. It was quite touching, actually.
McCowan is not a rank-and-file, card-carrying union guy. He is a director with SEIU. He IS the union. He ISSUES the cards. Andy Stern himself might as well have kicked Gladney.
Stern has some fishy hiring standards, folks. Can’t wait to see how he spins THIS one.
LOL to the graphic!
Thanks for the updates. Many Many of us are on the sidelines here watching what happens to these thugs. When will the main stream press pick this up?
That is SO Good!
Well, well. A bunch of SEIU thugs, one of whom is an SEIU OFFICIAL, stands accused of beating a black man over his exercising his First Amendment rights.
This opens the door for a civil rights lawsuit against the SEIU itself, for big bucks.
Can you supply that WARNING immage as a PDF I can make into a big sign and also small to make buttons?
The MSM? Never. The American media is so corrupt and morally bankrupt that they would rather see this country go down in flames than the report the truth about Barack Obama.
I stole the image from Gateway Pundit here:

Just scroll down the page.
Perfect image...lol
They said while waiting in line there was an “african-american man walking with a sign of Obama as Hilter”.
After the meeting they saw the SAME MAN handing out flyers for Democrat John Dingel/Obama Healthcare Reform plan.
Those bastards....anyone who sees a sign like this from now on should question the person holding and get pics.
That graphic is awesome!
“This opens the door for a civil rights lawsuit against the SEIU itself, for big bucks.”
That would be great. I think many of us would like to see these two bit thugs put under oath and sued..BIG TIME!!
Thanks for the report. This should not surprise us and you are right, we should be prepared to get these peoples names, pics...and any other info we can to out them in the NEW MEDIA!
Good One!
The guy on Youtube.

What a dumbass to beat someone down when you are going to run for Mayor.
And they say Glenn Beck is nuts....he was all over the SEIU/Acorn/Obama link.
Yeah right...the liar is on video...lol!
Yep..thank God for Beck. I hope he is all over this today.
He was way ahead on this story and he deserves credit for it. No surprise that the heavily unionized newspapers aren’t covering this story.
Support Kenneth Gladney against ad hominem attacks on the ABC blog and on Washington Independent blog:

Be glad to!
Anyone have a place where I can send Mr. Gladney a get-well/encouragement/thanks for being a patriot card? Thanks.
Ah! so this is why the SEIU website was saying that TH protesters had beaten up a Reverend and other SEIU members.
I was wondering where the whole Reverend thing came in.
Great poster - Someone should have that poster at EVERY “townhall”.... “Warning! SEIU Members Attending This Meeting. Brilliant.
Of course. They don’t like being exposed for the marxists that they are. Obama lied to the American people to get elected, but he never had any intentions of governing from the ‘center’. The proof is right there for all Americans to see in the bills that he is pushing and his take-over of banks, car companies, insurance companies and now healthcare. Next on his agenda is taking over the oil companies and flinging open the borders. Our republic is being destroyed right in front of our eyes and Americans have decided they don’t like it. Better late than never.
On a bright note..if Obama continues in this path, he will bring the entire Democrat party down. This is not a San Francisco values and socialist country.
