A new part of the Republican Volunteer Kit
Posted on 10/29/2004 3:30:59 PM PDT by ohioWfan
I just heard on an Akron radio station that two women volunteers at the Cuyahoga County Bush Victory Center were assaulted by thugs from ACORN, 50 of whom descended on the Headquarters to 'protest.'
One woman was hit in the stomach, and the other in the arm and the leg. I also heard that charges would be pressed.
This has got to STOP!
If anyone has more details, please post them here.....
I hope they got it on video
There is SO much enthusiasm it's unbelieveable!!
I go in at 8:00 in the morning as Phone Bank Captain.
We're safe here........don't worry!
Yup.
I don't know exactly, but if history serves, one major war was started when someone thought they heard the command to open fire. The great Chicago fire was started by a cow knocking over a lantern in a barn.
My point is that somehow, someway, someone is going to p*ss off the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong way, and all hell is going to break loose...in a way that will make the 1992 L.A. riots look like two children fighting in a sandbox.
And if that's what it takes to restore order in this country, as Ann Coulter recently said, "bring it on--we've got the guns".
I'm Christian4Bush, and da** right I approve this message.
They run away, and then file charges. SHEESHH!!
Maybe if one of them got hit with a bong.......
Most likely this was a pure accident. I mean, I would be Nixon White House paranoid if I thought the 'Rats took him out, right?
At this point, no.
Stay safe. It's going to be a busy day, I predict.
Un-by-god-believable! And I'm sure Kerry endorses this kind of behavior. What manner of man would run for the highest office in the land and have people like this campaigning for him?? :-((
I have just returned from sign holding for Bush/Cheney...at a busy intersection close to my neighborhood...(Florida)....
I'm so steamed, I had thought to come home and post a whole thread about it....
..but I'll just add to this one.
Thuggery is thuggery and Kerry/Edwards has it in spades!!!!!!!!!!!!
Headquarters had heard that Kerry/Edwards groups were going to be at certain streetcorners today, from 4:30 to 6:00.
....the same corners Bush/Cheney folks had staked out....and which also, a Viet Nam veteran had been standing all week.
We thought we had reinforcements to stand with us today, but when I arrived, the Viet Nam veteran was standing alone, in his uniform, with his Veterans for Bush sign....amid a sea of Kerry/Edwards people on all four corners....
...so the Veteran staked out a lone man vigil in the middle isle of the street.
A few of the Kerry/Edward folks couldn't/wouldn't even give him this, and sent some rude, crude talking people to his little middle isle.
When I arrived, thinking I would see plenty of reinforcements......he was standing alone.
For all of 2 seconds I wavered from 'he can handle it'......to 'he needs help!!!'......
...I got his attention, held up my Bush/Cheney sign, and said 'I'm with you'....
..He looked over at me, and gave a salute!
I joined him in the middle isle of the busy intersection and was proud to stand with him.
The Kerry/Edwards teams were vile, saying ugly things about our President.
You know, I strongly suspect some if not all of these folks today were not of my town!!!
I have lived in this county 30 years, and didn't recognize any of them......maybe I don't travel in their circles, or they're truly not from my burg!!!!...they didn't look homespun.
Anyway, the Veteran & I were standing alone, and I was very nervous, because the Kerry teams were yelling and arguing...arguing even with passing cars.....
...so I called my husband and told him to call headquarters to try & find reinforcements!!
My one friend, Carlie....who had stood with me through the past two weeks, arrived and she joined us......Carlie, the Veteran and myself.
My husband couldn't get reinforcements....(headquarters was busy sending out folks to walk precincts, assigning phone callers, arranging rides for the shut-ins, tracking down absentee ballots, etc).
So my husband, a Viet Nam era veteran, came down and joined us.
We were a band of 4 against approx. 75 Kerry groupies....and some of them were truly thugs.
The 4 of us had gravitated together on the intersection island, with our little Bush/Cheney signs.....
..the Kerry thugs had all 4 corners and part of the island too!
But nothing would do except two thugs, led by a thug woman, came marching over to our little spot we had staked out....and they were carrying a huge sign....
...and they pushed...pushed....pushed their way inbetween the 4 of us and held up their sign.!!!!!
I was so livid I almost forgot my religion!!!!!
The Veteran was angry too, but had no option except to move a bit onto the curb of the road because they kept pushing him.
This made my husband....a mild mannered guy, I might add.....quite angry, so he moved to stand with the Veteran.
Well, not to be outdone, I moved inbetween the Veteran and my husband, and Carlie came along side of us.
So we 4....the band of four.....stood our groud, and were garnering lots of attention and salutes, and thumbs up, and high fives and smiles and waves and horn honking!
Well, here comes Ms. & Mr. Thug and they keep pushing and pushing and pushing us until we are all practically in the street.
I am not exaggerating this!!!!
I tried to keep my temper in check, and asked, nicely, the man behind me, if he would move back a little, and give us a bit of room.....
He said 'No'....
Very soon after, a policeman arrives, and runs up to the Veteran and starts yelling at him to get out of the street.
The Veteran had had enough, and said we were pushed.
The policeman takes him aside.
Meanwhile, an older policeman arrives.....and though I don't know this, I strongly suspect he's a Viet Vet....
...He calmed the first policeman (a younger guy) down.....
..talked to the Vet....
...and came over to talk to the 3 of us.
...He was very kind and soothing.....
...but then he turned and looked at the Kerry thugs, who it was sooooo obvious they were pushing us because our backs actually touched their lousy signs....
..and he got angry and said they have all 4 corners and the middle isle.....could they back up and let us have some room.
They started arguing with him, and essentially said they didn't have to!
He told them if they pushed us into the street, he was coming back and someone was going to jail!!!!!!
Later, as he was leaving, he actually came over to the four of us, and said....
God Bless you.....that was worth the whole evening....hearing the police officer say those words!!
....These Kerry people are vile......crude.....angry.....argumentative.....rude.....and it gave me the creeps to have them at my back.
I expected any second for one of them to stick me with a pin or something....
...but I stood my ground.
When we finally left, the Veteran was yet again, standing alone.
The Brown Shirts at work.
Holy crap, 50 from ACORN? Against just a few volunteers, do we know how many volunteers were in the office at this time?

Yes, it has to stop. Guess who is President and could stop this? I have no other course but to vote for this clown. I emailed the WH to stop voter fraud. I suggest you do the same before we are a banana republic... then all the channels on TV will be in Spanish, and there won't be two in English. Bush has done about as much to prevent voter fraud as he has to prevent illegal aliens.
ACORN has been getting away with thuggish tactics for years. Is financed with ill gotten millions from the financial industry thanks to handy charges of racism based on inequality of results.
Knowing the voterbase demographics of the Democrats, and the pay-for-voter-registration bounties collected for signing up "new" Democrat voters, fraud is not a question at all; it's an obvious FACT. Having FOUR counties in Ohio that mysteriously have more registered voters now than population age 18 and over, it is ignorance to claim that these are anything less than outright fraud.
Every one of those who were PAID to sign up new voters should be prosecuted if even ONE of their sign-ups is proven to be non-existent or previously registered, and prosecution of those who PAID for the signatures under the RICO statute should also be pursued.
You can bank on thuggery combined with lawyering claiming "disenfranchisement" BEFORE the polls even close on Tuesday, not only in Cleveland, but also in Dayton, Toledo, and Cincinnatti.
Please give your brother my best regards, hope he's feeling better soon.
It should be obvious even to a Republican when confronted by the leftist rag tag militia a camera or videocam is requisite equipment.
Great idea!
I am praying for your brother.
