By now you know of the atrocity committed by SEIU union thugs against Kenneth Gladney, a slight, mild-mannered man who sold pins and flags at Russ Canahan's August 6th healthcare town hall in St. Louis.
The St. Louis Tea Party immediately organized a demonstration against the St. Louis offices of SEIU, placing the blame for Gladney's injuries exactly where they belonged -- on the head's of Barack Obama and his union goons. See: http://stlouisteaparty.com/

Do not let up. There is media cover up on this story. Drudge will on cover it. FoxNews will not cover it.
And please note: Kathleen Sebelius had a conference call with SEIU on Friday and told them to step it up.

The fight hasn't even started yet, we're just now entering the bull pen and haven't even seen the warm up, imo
See videos: Are you paying attention now? and Are you paying attention now? ver. 2
I wonder what DC will be like on 9/12?
It is easy for Sebelius and her SEIU gestapo to pimp Obamacare. They won’t be required to participate in that crap. They won’t have their private healthcare plans taxed to pay for it. They won’t see their healthcare plan downgraded or rationed. They are nothing but a bunch of lowlife commie hypocrites.
Someone posted an article on an "area denial" non-lethal control system. Wonder if that will be around for a field test on 9/12?
Could someone here please tell me the details of the arrests at that town hall?
The Post Dispatch keeps repeating that “six people-—including a Post reporter-—were arrested”.
Who were the 5 others. It’s not clear from the video.
Were all 5 of them SEIU-tea-shirted thugs?
Wonder if Olbermann will make the SEIU thugs his “worst persons”? (No, he won’t. If he even mentions the healthcare protests, he’ll just continue calling the American citizens opposing Obama “Nazis”, and lying about “GOP mobs”.)
Too bad that wasn’t added to the article.
I seriously got choked up seeing that photo. If he can take punches, then we all sure as hell can take TIME and contribute to this effort.
NO ONE HAS AN EXCUSE TO BE ON THE SIDELINES.
MSM GETS IT RIGHT! Ping!!!
Mr. Gladney in our prayers for healing!
Union goons exposed to the light of day—may they scatter like the roaches they are!!!
Sad to say, I've never been, something tells me this would be an historic trip.
Of course the party line is that things got out of hand “on both sides.” From what I’ve read elsewhere, no. This victim did nothing wrong. Tea party supporters and critics of obama need to be clear on the facts and not accept responsibility if it’s undeserved.
It wasn't so long ago the liberals were saying that the right was responsible for an abortion doctor's death. Turn about is fair play.
Some cops are SEIU too.

BTW- That is one ugly newspaper
They were all on the side of ObamaCare
What is amazing is the Post-Disgrace is covering this story...I know from family/friends that the PD is a major league liberal paper.
I want to buy a Gladney flag or shirt...may he quickly get his stuff on the web.
link??
NO ONE HAS AN EXCUSE TO BE ON THE SIDELINES.
Exactly. I'm an old lady, but I've joined a patriots group and am ready to do what I have to. My income doesn't allow a lot of donations, but there's nothing wrong with my ability to heal up from a black eye or a bloody nose.
Fox news DID cover it actually. I love the screenname, but please check your facts first before posting.
“Someone posted an article on an “area denial” non-lethal control system. Wonder if that will be around for a field test on 9/12?”
They wouldn’t dare. Congress would have to take up permanent residence in their bunkers, because there would be no safety among the populace for them or anyone associated with them anywhere else. It would be the modern “Shot heard round the world.”
Our Congress Critters and Senators are canceling or will not have town halls....
So do we protest their offices and or any Obama-leaning apparatus anyway?
With Cameras rolling of course...
St. Louis County police did not release the names of the people arrested outside Bernard Middle School on Thursday night but provided the following details:
-- Two men were arrested for misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching, pushing and holding a man who was handing out American flags and fliers outside the school. (The Gladney incident.)
-- One woman was arrested for misdemeanor assault and destruction of property for allegedly pushing another woman who was recording the events on her cell phone, then grabbing the phone and breaking it. (Shown on the "Are You Paying Attention Now" the perp is an SEIU member video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwxf_2GFOBc)
-- One woman was arrested for interference and resisting arrest. One officer used pepper spray on the woman, police said, when she did not comply with officers' demands. That woman "just would not leave," when asked by officers to back away from the scuffles, said spokesman Rick Eckhard said. She also passively resisted when an officer tried to handcuff her, he said.
-- One man was arrested for peace disturbance when he entered a circle of people who had gathered near the pepper-sprayed woman and refused to comply with officers' demands to leave.
-- Post-Dispatch reporter Jake Wagman also was arrested for allegedly interfering.
RULE 10: "If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive." Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management's wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
Well, I was going to post a comment objecting to the way the reporter describes the arrests. He bends over backwards to insure a new reader concludes that both sides had arrests.
But the “go to comments” button just takes me in circles. Can’t get to comments or a posting page. I think it’s a CONSPIRACY!
It's interesting how close his name (Gladney) is to Gadsden flag.
So I take it we don’t know enough about those last two to determine which side they were on...right?

Somebody out there has the info. If they were Tea Party members, don’t you think we’d know it by now?
Check out this caller to C-SPAN:
Oh yeah, that’s what I’ve assumed all along.
But I didn’t want to assert it in a letter to the reporter unless I could confirm it.
It’s a moot point now because the links at the Post Dispatch don’t work.
If Sebelius really did this she should be removed from office immediately and charged for inciting violence!
Thank you. I specifically want to do some small thing to help and thank Gladney, to acknowledge the grief they put him through.
Yeah just wait though until some SEIU person’s car gets a flat tire because they drove over a nail at a construction site that happened to be adjacent to a Tea Party...THEN you’ll see front page coverage of a Tea Party “hate crime.”
Not only are our Congress Critters canceling their townhall meetings but even Michelle my belle seems to have gone into hiding.
Perhaps they’ve finally figured out it was bad PR to see her prancing around Europe in her ‘fabulous’ designer outfits.
Is she wearing those designer outfits out on Martha’s Vineyard? Is she serving $100 a pound beef at her oceanside cookouts?
That sounds great!
I told my husband if the second revolution was going to start, I was going to be there. I made my reservations last Friday.
They will have to do it before they land as to not piss off the Secret Service or violate the "TFR"....
I hear on summer weekends it looks like the Paris Airshow their are so many expensive jets.
Hmmmm....
Maybe Fox can revisit what they did to the Big 3 and what Pelosi is doing by ordering 5 G5's.
BTW....
That stunt pulled on the big three cost Gulfstream 1,200 jobs if my memory is correct....
This government does not represent the people, it is an ideology no different from the Nazis, or Bolsheviks. It is not American, it is clearly the exact opposite. The fact that Sebelius did this is as clear a proof as we need, we are living under tyrants.
This is the best video of the aftermath, including the cops sorting and arresting folks. Actually, this video is the original, untouched video from the young lady's camera that got damaged by the goon who mashed it into her face. 8+ minutes long.
Plus you can also Join The Tea Party Express if it comes through your area and you are driving to DC.
