Form a brute squad then!

Last night, as reports began to emerge of unrest at two big health care town halls in Tampa and St. Louis, a man on Twitter claiming to work with SEIU, claimed a handful of arrests in St. Louis had been Obamacare critics, and they'd been arrested for assaulting SEIU members. His report was dutifully repeated by liberals looking to paint the violence as caused by critics of the administration.
When I went looking for corroboration of his story, I found something quite different in this report from the Post-Dispatch:
Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with "Don't tread on me" printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack.
"It just seems there's no freedom of speech without being attacked," he said.
Six people were arrested: "Two of the people were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances, police say."
Today, video emerged, which looked like it might have captured the alleged assault on Kenneth Gladney. It was taken by someone from a blog named Missourah, who was shooting the scenes of the Carnahan event all night

Obama KNOWS what he is stirring up. Obama wants martial law.
The SEIU members don’t even know what’s in the bill. They’re just Obama Rent-a-Thugs.
Do bears $hit in the woods? Since Zer0 does not $hit, the is yes!
There is going to be a little get together outside the SEIU office today at noon.... ;-)
Exactly! If the support for the dems and (The Mutual of Obama insurance plan) was there, why would Obama even have to call out his troops? The real patriots of this nation are the ones showing up and they are against it! A baseball coach does not have to call up players to make up his team because they loose interest and stay home.
With the racial slurs, why is this not a hate crime?The attacker, an SEIU Union Thug (dummy was wearing his union Tee Shirt), was also Black. So he can call another Black a 'Ni@@er' and it's not a 'Hate Crime'.
On FOX yesterday they said: The second man who also used the N word repeatedly was white.
Hate crime!
Don’t forget the ties to Chicago.
They’re somewhere in this:

I've been told that its a term of endearment for one black to cal another black the n wordYep it is. Or, 'can be' depending on its usage.
Greeting: 'Hey ni@@er, what's up!'But as we know only blacks can use it.
Threat: 'Ni@@er, you gonna die!'
“Accuse others of what you are doing yourself” is a communist saying attributed to both Lenin and Marx.
lol Im not even sure if I can call them black or African American
On FOX yesterday they said: The second man who also used the N word repeatedly was white. ... Hate crime!I don't know about Fox. I watched the actual Video, it was all over FR yesterday afternoon. The attacker who was arrested for 'jumpin on' the black conservative was a Big Black guy.
That Big Black union thug is lucky it wasn't me who he 'jumped on'. His left kidney would have gotten 4" of cold steel for his effort.
Form a brute squad then!
I refuse to call them 'African American' as Jesse Jackson coined that term. They are 'Black' and that's that ;-)
In another news report...the black SEIU thug claims his shoulder was dislocated. You can seem him holding it in the video.
They have NO clue what they are stirring up....and it could get really, really ugly for them.Like 21 said, Obama knows EXACTLY what he's fomenting - he WANTS Martial Law. He and toady Eric Holder are drolling at the chance to unleash the full power of the DoJ on citizens.
That is AmeriCorp. Glenn Beck said that AmeriCorp is the one to watch, not SEIU and ACORN.
“This was a truly senseless hate crime carried out by racist union thugs.” Kenneth Gladney’s attorney David B. Brown.
