Well, you have to admire his honesty. Asked by an unknown progressive blogger about charges that OFA and other groups were Astroturfing Wisconsin protests, Trumka doesn’t deny it.

America needs a good old fashioned doggie butt drag across the carpet to scrape these unionista parasites off.

Bela Pelosi accuses the Tea Party of 'astroturfing' (which we're not) and that's bad. But when the unions actually DO it, apparently Bela doesn't think it's worth mentioning.

I won't hold my breath waiting for the MSM to point out THAT bit of hypocrisy.

If Trumka and Obambi switched jobs, would anyone notice the difference?

Bingo. Trumka is a mob-thugster right out of central casting.

Trumka is an avowed communist!

Therefore all who follow him are communist.

I’d be doing some real hard thinking about joining any union.

With unemployment at such high levels, what I don't understand is why the state employees aren't telling the teachers to shut their stupid traps and going all "bounty hunter" on the Fleebag 14. I mean, ideology will not put food on the table, and there are several thousand people who are going to lose jobs over this.....soon.

And they can't say they weren't warned or that attempts were not made to avoid it.

Trumka may be a commie knuckle-dragging mobster thug, but at least he’s an HONEST one. Either that or he’s too stupid to spin.
