I wonder if the owner could have the thugs arrested for trespassing, and then sue them for loss of revenue.

"a group of five to 10 union supporters angry about the passage of the bill hours before burst into the restaurant and began shouting."

Union supporters??? Ten to one they were union MEMBERS.

"He said about 70 people were in the restaurant, at 197 Thurman Ave., at the time. "

Then it should not have been much trouble to overwhelm the 10 unionistas and help throw them out.

We're going to have to start treating this like airline hijackings, where the passengers pitch in to subdue the bad guys.

The more times the thugs are successful at this sort of thing, the more it will happen.

I heard about 10 minutes of Ed Schultz’s show yesterday when a caller called in about the Merchant Restaurant in Madison supposedly asking the Gov to leave two or three weeks ago because other patrons were being loud about him being there.

Ed snickered and laughed and expressed joy on the air at the Wisconsin governor being harassed by union stalkers.

But don’t expect to win the media war. NBC/ABC/CBS will run it as “Small group of protestors beaten to pulp by Tea Party”.

"They gathered as a group and waited until they had about 10 people before they caused a disturbance."

Known as "Flying Squads"

turned out, that never happened. The bar admitted it.

But that won't stop someone like Shultz and his miniscule, moronic audience from repeating it.

Ending collusive bargaining is driving the colluders crazy.

“Ending collusive bargaining is driving the colluders crazy.”

And it’s all the more reason why it has to go....

Government cannot and should not be controlled by unions.

... and it's time for Republican leaders -- especially those in Washington -- to understand there's no "playing nice" with people on the Left and members of the Democrat-Socialist Party. The Left understands only one thing -- the use of power and force that they do not hesitate to apply ... yet will scream and cower when used against them.

If it didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be squealing like pigs. The louder they squeal, the more determined we must be to end the practice.

Exactly. I’m so tired of it. Minority groups everywhere seem to be able to dicate to the rest of calm, sane, rational, taxpaying society. We are huge in number — why do we continue to allow ourselves to be browbeaten, by liberals, union members, homosexuals, muslims, etc. ...WHY? There are way more of us!!

When is the silent majority just going to wake up and put and END to all this nonsense??

Interesting....because all the “protest” has made me FAR more determined than ever.
