A video posted online that shows a former union leader in South Carolina smashing a piñata effigy of Gov. Nikki Haley has riled the national office of the AFL-CIO, which wants it taken down.
“Do you think we can get this video pulled,” asked a national AFL-CIO official in an email to Palmetto State union sources.
The author of the email also worried the video might get “picked up by tea partiers, maybe even Haley herself, to attack labor again.”
The video in question features former AFL-CIO of South Carolina president Donna DeWitt smacking a Haley piñata with a baseball bat at DeWitt's retirement party over the weekend.
It is accompanied with text under the video that reads in part, “Gov. Nikki Haley has been vicious to organized labor in South Carolina, saying in her State of the State address that ‘unions are not needed, wanted or welcome.’ After years of being treated like a union thug, Donna Dewitt gets sweet revenge at a reception in her honor.”
Haley, a staunch pro-business Republican governor, has earned a reputation for being belligerently anti-union. She recently won a federal appeal in a lawsuit brought against her by a machinists union and the national AFL-CIO.
“We’re going to continue to be union busters in South Carolina,” Haley said as recently as May 19, while introducing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at a state Republican Party fundraising dinner of roughly 1,200 in Columbia.
South Carolina has one of the lowest organized workforces in the country.
Pro-union sources in South Carolina say they aren’t worried about the video.
"[Haley] has been whacking at us since she realized how much money the business PACs can contribute in South Carolina," DeWitt tells Free Times. "We felt justified in taking a whack back."
The footage was shot at the South Carolina Progressive Network’s 2012 spring gathering May 19, at the CWA Hall in West Columbia.
And Sarah Palin’s web site has targets on congressional districts that she thinks should be targeted for elections and she’s practically indicted as a co-conspirator in murder!

Wow, she’s a shrill old hag, isn’t she.
Just in case the video disappears, I’ve made a copy should anyone want to host it.
Thanks, upchuck.
“Dum spiro spero”.
s, ping....
“if these freaks had the guts to do it, they wouldn’t hesitate to assault, maim, or murder their “enemies”.
Believe me, the fat union slugs don’t have the guts to do anything except bellow like pigs.
There’s a reason why American leftists don’t criticize Muslims. They’re hoping to recruit them as a mercenary army to kill their enemies - you and me.
American leftists are cowards and won’t fight, muslims are stupid and can’t fight worth sh*t.
Lock ‘n load, buddy.
Which is why the ROEs are what they are.....gotta give them a fighting chance. Besides, a democrap never found a war they wouldn't try to lose.

Preach it, bro. You’re on target. I have less ROE sitting here at my desk in this state than I had in service. I can slice ‘n dice, seriously ventilate or run through any invader with my custom 16-inch Pakistani knife.
I pray that every FReeper is similarly ready to rock ‘n roll.
Semper fi, buddy.
Not a hate crime as Nikki Haley is a “White Indian” and as such has no “racial rights”.
