Union thugs aren't helping Obama on health care

I wonder who's the genius who first thought up the idea of having a bunch of thugs all wearing the same colored shirts show up to intimidate opponents of the government.

Now I remember! It was that funny little guy with the mustache from Austria. What's his name again? I think it was "Schicklgruber" or something.

Anyway, that sort of stunt loses a little something when it crosses the Atlantic, as you can see from the above video. A gang of thugs wearing matching shirts bearing the initials of the Service Employees International Union can be seen engaging in what appears to be an attack on a person who was handing out "Don't tread on me" flags in opposition to the Obama administration's health-care plans.

Looks like Corzine tried this Red Guard trick in N. J. on the toll road issue and that began his slide. Let's hope the same happens to the Illegal Alien.

Maybe the “Purple Army” (Dennis Rivera’s description of his SEIU thugs, who wear purple shirts) will be Red Obama’s undoing. We can only hope.

There’s a lot of possible names for a President who uses paid thugs to intimidate those who disagree with his policies... dictatorial President, fascist President, authoritarian President. But one name that sure isn’t right is American President.

I just checked the huffingtonpost to see how they are presenting it to their side. Looks like the union thugs are whining about threats to them since they are coming to the town hall meetings and opposing the protestors. Of course, they are claiming someone wrote a warning note to them and called President Obama a racial name. They are very very “worried about the violence.”

It is a smart tactic for the Husseinite goons to wear purple shirts. The color does not lend itself to slogans.Somehow decrying Hussein’s “purple-shirt” tactics just doesn’t resonate like “brown-shirt.”

Yeah, ‘worried about the violence’ in the same sense as “nice little family you have there, hate to see anything happen to them”.

The healthcare townhall clashes definitely put the kabosh on the illegal immigration anmesty schemes.

They must be having a tough time trying to figure out how to CAUSE violence on little old ladies and frail old men protesting Obamacare and get away with it. If they plan it right, the alphabet news channels can film it in a manner acceptable to government media dictates and post it on the usual liberal lamebrain sites.

I'm thinking that the SEIU goons are thinking about what happens next, when people are aware they might run into goons. Possibly this

BamBam and his cult believe he is a king (if not a god). Purple has always been associated with royalty. So in that sense, it fits very well.

Obama’s just doing what his friends in Venezuela and other dictatorships do.

talking about bringing guns
hitting back twice as hard
paying union thugs to attack those who oppose bozo
setting up mail for people to rat on others who oppose bozo

and the left try to say they’re not racist

ARF
HITLER DID EVERYTHING WHAT BOZO HAS DONE

The GOP had better get a spine and say about this on camera
