A member of the St. Louis Tea Party was physically attacked by union thugs. The sick thing is it looks like he was attacked because of the color of his skin.

UPDATE: 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.

Remember the attack on the abortion protester at a Clinton appearance in Philadelphia? They arrested the protester and his sister, Terry, a Freeper. Unions never change.

The seeds of revolution have been watered.

There will be blood.

"What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

Thomas Jefferson

So it starts—ridicule will not work so turn towards thuggery. Expect more of this as Acorn is aroused. Might not be a good idea for Grannie to go to the town hall meetin’. How long before someone is killed? This aint the America I grew up in.But, we can’t let the brown shirts win—we just better be ready with cameras to document the abuses.

You know what, I just read that they are running a bus campaign that is supposed to drive around the country and attend the town hall events. It’s put on by an SEIU group called, Americans for prosperity, the bus tour is called, Patienst First. This is going to be big trouble.

Hard to believe that unions have such a long, rich history with organized crime. The two go together like peas and carrots, don’t they?

I think the majority of the country is waking up to the dumbest idea in recorded human history, public sector unions. Basically, thugs that continuously shake down the taxpayer until the day of reckoning. See, e.g., California.

Expect the MSM to under-report this if they report this at all.
Hope we get a YouTube video on this. This needs to be seen by every voter.

that is a bit of hyperbole...Estabrook was killed

and Gladney is not the first casualty

folks have already died ..murdered by predators incited by Obama’s divisive rhetoric

although the media calls it non racially motivated crime of opportunity

you know...like man made disasters..that sort of double speak

That what I said in another thread, bring some of our ex-military types. I imagine the fat union apes that haven't lifted more than a doughnut in years would suddenly get much more polite with a couple of chiseled marines glaring at them

AMONG THE MINUTEMEN who turned out on Lexington Green on April 19, 1775, to confront the British and start the fight for American freedom was Prince Estabrook, a black man and a slave. He was wounded in the shoulder.

Be sure to bring video cameras with you. If the thugs destroy nine of the cameras watching them, make sure that a tenth is there to document it. Also learn how to quickly remove the storage device from the camera (memory or tape) so if Obama's outlaw enforcement demands you turn it over they get the camera and you keep the evidence.
