This violence against the Republicans & President Bush is getting way out of hand. This is about the 7th or 8th state now that I have heard of vandalism, broken plate glass windows etc.

This is now SERIOUS, police better start watching!

[blondee123]

PING!

[pawdoggie]

These are the political goons who are peddling the idea that evil Republicans are out to "intimidate" minorities into not voting.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Why is it that Democrats can't control their rent a mobs?

I hope the President discusses this issue tomorrow in his speech.

[uglybiker]

They consider it 'more bang for the buck'.

[Cinnamon Girl]

What were they protesting? The fact that they're dumbasses?

[claudiustg]

They keep it up and they're going to find out what the phrase "well regulated militia" means.

[orangelobster]

Here's some quotes from another article about this.

"Countered South Florida AFL-CIO president Fred Frost: "It was as civil as it gets.'"

"Debra Booth, president of the Central Florida AFL-CIO, described the protest as "peaceful'"

If there are any union members in florida here, you may want to contact these people to let them know what you think.

Debra Booth - Central Florida AFL-CIO (407) 649-8557

Here's an e-mail for Fred Frost's branch
info@sfaflcio.org

And here's an email for journalist Mark Schlueb at the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.
mschlueb@orlandosentinel.com.

Here's a link to contact the national office of the AFL-CIO

http://www.aflcio.org/siteguides/contactus.cfm

John Sweeney, the President of the AFL-CIO needs to make a public statement explaining how it came to be that this was coordinated at multiple bush/cheney offices. He also needs to provide an apology to the campaign workers and President Bush. I hope he is criminally prosecuted, but I'm not holding my breath.

[RockinRight]

This is so shocking since the Democrats are the party of peace and tolerance.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I seem to recall a similar problem with a "third-rate burglary" of Democrat HQ in the early 1970s. Didn't it lead to serious allegations of corruption of the constitution and the downfall of a president? I suppose the sacking of 7 or 8 Republican local HQs wouldn't count, though.

[blondee123]

For some reason the "SEARCH" does not always bring up a previously posted article. I DID try it!

[BigCinBigD]

Was the HQ open when it was over run? If so what were the workers doing while the dirty hippies ransacked the place?

I would have been introducing Mr. Hippy to Mr. Stapler and Ms. Tape Dispencer. :(

[HitmanLV]

I wish I was there. The GOPers have to learn there's a time to bust heads, sometimes.

Like when you get attacked.

[Rockitz]

The end always justifies the means with these people- very twisted. Their divided minds (truth vs. proclaimed ideology) must drive them crazy.

[kingattax]

please dont insult dumbasses. :)

[meanie monster]

These are strange times indeed. I am locked n loaded, let them mess with me.

[Arkinsaw]

Does anybody think that this will sway undecided voters in Florida toward Kerry-Edwards? Nah, people who like ransacking Bush headquarters are already going to be voting for Kerry.

Nope, this helps Kerry in no way. His super-dumb cultist types think they are helping him out but they are losing him swing votes. Do the soccer moms like this sort of instability....security moms? There are probably some Jewish voters who normally vote democrat that might not get a good feeling about these little miniature Kristalnachts that the Democrats are pulling.

It's part of a very old pattern...

First campaign ends in defeat
by Brian C. Mooney
6/18/2003
PART 4

To win the primary, the newcomer overcame the election eve arrest of his brother, Cameron, and campaign field director Thomas J. Vallely, both then 22, in the basement of a Lowell building that housed the headquarters of Kerry and another Democratic contender, state Representative Anthony R. DiFruscia of Lawrence. It was almost 2 a.m. - 30 hours before the polls opened - when the two were arrested on charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny.

That day's Sun blared a memorable, double-deck headline: "Kerry brother arrested in Lowell 'Watergate."' DiFruscia, getting some extra ink in the campaign's waning hours, had drawn the parallel to the break-in at Democratic headquarters in Washington three months earlier.

and Laptop thievery in Washington state.

[blondee123]

Yes, it was open, go to the link & watch the video of the newscast about it. There was another one planned simultaneously in Miami & 20 others around the country. The video says the one in Miami had similar outcome too!

[blondee123]

and Laptop thievery in Washington state.

This just shows the RATS desperation, but eventually someone is going to get hurt seriously if this continues!

Ronald Regan fought the communist inflitration of unions in Hollywood. To this day, that is why he is reviled by the "National SOCIALIST Party" (official title of the NAZI party) useless idiots.

Regan never deplored their arguments; they fail on their own, and he laughed at them.

Regan DID deplore their tactics, though. Beatings, threats, stormings.

Reagan was threatened with acid being thrown on his face. He slept with a .32 revolver. Then he became President.

The communists, and their tactics, have not changed.

Read "Regans's War."

[MonroeDNA]

If I had known about the Miami plan, I would have been there, with several other ex-military friends.

Look for the Union label...

On the baseball bat that crashes through your windshield!"

[MonroeDNA]

I'm going to volunteer security to a local headquarters. CCW license.

[muir_redwoods]

"The workers delivered some 200,000 postcards to Bush–Cheney campaign headquarters,"

And if even one of those postcard had a stamp on it the union, by delivering it, is guilty of diverting US mail, a Federal offense.

[Gerasimov]

Those same AFLCIO Morons were here in Ohio ... it was a coordinated attack against Bush/Cheney headquarters all over the country, from what I understand. (Can you say "RICO?")

They weren't violent here ... only stupid.

[Tax Government]

Violence courtesy of AFL-CIO, a RICO (racketeer-infuenced corrupt organization).

[7.62 x 51mm]

Reason #4 why I carry concealed (CCW Penna).

[marty60]

This stuff is in the genepool. After the civil war, The Evil dums usse these tactics to terrorize the freed slaves to vote only for dums. Then they began poll taxes, then started taking their land away from them.

Don't laugh,THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR.

[marty60]

GREAT POINT! The Rico has been used against the unions before. Time to go after them again.

[TN4Liberty]

Windows were shot out of the Knoxville, Tennessee, Bush Cheney offices yesterday. Some guy came on the radio and said they should find those people and give them a medal. This is getting bad.

[elder5]

I'm soooo proud of my union (hack-cough) brothers

[MadAnthony1776]

Won't count because they're democrats. You can commit perjury (Clinton) and that don't count so why should this.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

The Democrats need violent confrontations against Republican campaign workers to win converts? I don't think so.

If I'm undecided, will I vote with the lawbreaking thugs or the other guys? Gee, I don't know.

All of this has the smell of losers who are desperate.

[rabidralph]

I just heard on the radio coming into work that a couple in Howard County, MD, were arrested last night for cutting down Bush-Cheney signs along the roadway. These people are desperately stupid.

[Rocket1968]

I received literature from the AFL-CIO in my mail yesterday, addressed to my wife and my oldest daughter. Neither are union members. I am (please don't hold that against me) but have a union member for Bush sticker on my truck (drives leadership crazy). Needless to say the propaganda found a suitable recepticle.

I got a call from the dim running in my House district. As soon as he mentioned that he had been endorsed by the AFL-CIO, I hung up the phone. In my work site, there are many Republicans supporting Bush. It is only the leadership that is out of touch.

[olde north church]

No they won't. This is the fifth or six time if you count headquarters alone. Add those properties where swastikas, signs torn down, children attacked, and other such and it's into the hundreds. Words fly but that's it.
Our side accepts it impotently and use the "that's not our playbook". When finally someone of our "like mind" responds the MSM won't miss it and it will look out of proportion.
I'll stop before I say it's obvious this is all being coordinated within the unions. I'll stop before I say maybe it's time to start raining righteous fury upon them. I'll stop before I say maybe it's time to do some "melon" splitting time. I'll stop before I say it's time to start hitting them back twice as hard.
The last time it got any really coverage a three-year old girl was at the center and then it was a case of blame the victim. Let's just hope the next time the martyr for our cause is again young, blond and sweet of face. God forbid, but that's what it will come down to if we down start fighting back, in spades.

[quadrant]

This does not surprise me.
The Left, as are spoiled children, cannot endure for long not getting the objects of their desires.
In fact one might call them the "Bonnie Blue Left", in memory of the daughter of Rhett Butler and Scarlet O'Hara. In case you've forgotten the plot of GONE WITH THE WIND, Bonnie Butler was a child who put on screaming tantrums when her desires were thwarted, but when satisfied, was a pleasant and peaceful child.

[the crow]

this also happened in Milwaukee yesterday. they just happened to have TV cameras in tow.

[daddyOwe]

It's really sad. I have never seen so much hatred for a President as we have now. I asked my Mom who is going to be 85 next month if she remembers a time when there was such hatred for a standing President. She said "No I can't believe the way people are acting."

[keats5]

Why are they calling them "protesters"?

[Wristpin]

Why are they calling them "protesters"?


Good point. "Felons" or "Criminals" would be more appropriate.

[Brilliant]

"Local 6 News learned that most of the protestors were from the AFL-CIO and were taking part in one of 20 other coordinated protests around the country.

A spokesperson with the AFL-CIO told Local 6 News that the Orlando protest did not go as planned."

Looks like an admission of guilt to me. Seems like someone from the AFL-CIO is going to be spending time behind bars.

[Smokin' Joe]

Is this a Ricco prosecutable offense? Sure seems like organized crime.

[Diogenesis]

Her Most Royal Highness:
"Have our people and felons attack their headquarters.
They may steal, shoot, assault and plunder without fear.
Fear NOTHING. I still have each and everyone of their FBI files without accountability.""

Yep. They are desperate.
