They will stop at nothing… The International Association of Firefighters is using tasteless images from the Oklahoma City Bombing to fight a state bill which changes how public safety labor unions and cities handle contract disputes.
NewsOK reported:
A state senator today blasted a firefighter union television advertisement as “horrific and tasteless” for using images of the Oklahoma City bombing to make a case against his bill.
The advertisement by the International Association of Firefighters began airing today.
It asks residents to oppose Senate Bill 826, which changes how public safety labor unions and cities handle contract disputes.
Several images of firefighters are used in the commercial, including a short clip of the remnants of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building after it was bombed April 19, 1995.
When the image of the bombed Murrah Building is shown in the commercial, a narrator says: “We’re there when you need us. Now we need you. Tell politicians to do what’s right: Oppose SB 826 and support Oklahoma’s firefighters.”
“The AFL-CIO and the IAFF should be ashamed of this horrific and tasteless commercial,” said Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City. “The victims and heroes of April 19th are not political pawns to be exploited whenever the Legislature seeks to reform a union negotiating process.”

firefighter unions? No wonder there are so many accidental deaths...
Everyone pay me for life a fat pension with CPI’s THAT I NEVER PAID FOR and give me and my family zero co-pay insurance...I’m a gub’mint worker, I DEE-ZERVE IT.
Nope.
You know I did not think they could p!$s me off any more... I was wrong.
Are they threatening us?
“... no one believes a word of their propaganda....”
Sadly, some still do.
The Marxists own them.
We should use images of Jared Loughner.
“Amerika’s nomenklatura”

For those who remember the old Soviet Union, it was a grim place — at least for average citizens. But not so for those in government. Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government — the nomenklatura.
This semipermanent bureaucracy earned higher incomes, got better health care, ate better food and had greater job security than average Russians, the much-despised proletarians. Today, our bloated federal government seems, in significant ways, to be creating this same dynamic.

Or pictures of SEIU Union members beating that black man in Missouri.
Easy commercial.
Show the picture of the twin towers burning. Make sure the plane is in the picture.
Caption it, terrorists support the unions.
With a very simple message. Americans have had enough.
I’m surprised I’m still able to be outraged by the tactics of government employee unions. This ad is like Westboro protesting funerals.
“We should use images of Jared Loughner.”
Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a lack of imagination. Use THIS instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF7EhwcwEj8&feature=related Here’s your lead-in:
“So, the unions think they’re tough, with their SEIU thugs, mysterious fires and the Murray Building explosion? Weeeeeell, have a look at this:” [cue video].
Close with: “Proudly brought to you by the same folks who gave you the Trail of Tears, Sherman’s March to the Sea, the internment of the Japanese and 1,000 bomber raids. Still want to play with the big boys, union wussies?”
Caption the picture??:
“If we had good union people doin’ the bombing it would be completely flat. On yer next bombing job...look for the union label”.
Unions run our government.
Thank you America for making that possible.
Now pay your taxes, we need raises. :)
It’s a good thing they weren’t having a contract dispute when the OKC bombing happened.
