SEIU thugs – like the ones who violently attacked Kenneth Gladney back in August – attacked another man this week, this time a California state worker who was trying to expose their corruption.

CBS in Sacramento reports:

“A state worker is recovering after a bloody brawl at a union hall. He says members of the local SEIU 1000 beat him up and sent him to the hospital all because he wanted to expose alleged corruption within the union.”

“Ken Hamidi is a state worker at the California Franchise Tax Board. Last night he walked into a union hall in Sacramento for an SEIU local 1000 meeting.”

“We had every right to be here, very simple; it wasn’t anything private or anything exclusive,” said Hamidi.”

“But Hamidi says the union members did not want him there.”

“Three, four people jumped at me, wrestled with me, then did all that,” said Hamidi. “I was covered in blood and then over to the emergency room.”

“Photos of Hamidi in the hospital show him bloodied from the brawl. So why did this happen? Besides being a state worker, Hamidi says he’s an unpaid reporter for a cable access show and a vocal critic of the SEIU. He calls the state workers’ union corrupt.”

The head of the SEIU is Andy Stern. Stern tops the list of influential visitors at the White House.

“The most frequent visitor included in the narrow sample was Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union and Mr. Obama’s top ally in the labor movement. Mr. Stern visited the White House 22 times, sometimes for health care or other public events in the East Room, other times for meetings with the president or aides like Rahm Emanuel, Peter R. Orszag or Ronald A. Klain.”

“The visit tally underscores the clout that S.E.I.U. and Mr. Stern enjoy in this White House, something that has generated consternation at times among business groups and envy among rival unions.”

We now have two documented cases of SEIU violence. They seem to lash out when people are doing something they don’t like or if they perceive someone as a threat. Yet they have direct access to our White House and our president.

Why?

Furthermore, why do Obama’s supporters try to create a false image of conservative Tea Party activists as potentially violent when it is the president’s cohorts in the SEIU who have now twice committed acts of violence?

The president himself speaking to Democrats just yesterday referred to anti-ObamaCare protesters in Washington DC as “the Tea Bag people.”

“According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care?”

Violent and corrupt thugs have access to the White House. Pro-American patriots are ridiculed by their president.

Now we know what Obama meant by “change.”

Live free or die?

A retired cop stood up at a New Hampshire town hall meeting for Carol Shea Porter (D) of New Hampshire this weekend and asked why out of state SEIU members were present at the meeting. Result? At Shea Porter’s request, he was removed from the meeting by the police.

VIDEO:

Now Hampshire has a full report which includes some interesting background on Carol Shea Porter and her changed attitude about protesters at town hall meetings.

“In four short years Carol Shea-Porter has evolved from a rabble-rousing, town hall disrupting anti-war activist who once had to be forcibly removed from a President George Bush event in Portsmouth to a Member of Congress who instructed armed security guards to remove a frustrated voter from her own town hall event in Manchester on Saturday.”

“Four years ago Carol Shea-Porter protested at the State House alongside people dressed as Nazis while accusing the federal government of trying to “brand us like sheep.” On Saturday, she disparagingly referred to people who do not trust the same federal government to run our health care system as “these people.”

“We remember when, Carol, do you?”

Quick, where’s my bullshit detector?

Remember last fall when Obama and his supporters swore up and down that Obama had no knowledge of the terrorist roots of Weather Underground founder, Bill Ayers? That’s him in the picture at left standing on an American flag.

Chief Obama Propagandist, David Axelrod went to great lengths to defend then candidate Obama…

“WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s top political adviser said today Obama “didn’t know the history” of unrepentant bomber William Ayers’ activities in the violent Weather Underground movement when the candidate attended a political event at Ayers’ home in 1995.”

“When he went he certainly didn’t know the history,” chief Obama strategist David Axelrod told CNN – arguing for the first time since the story surfaced early this year that Obama was unaware of Ayers’ past.”

“There’s no evidence that they’re close,” Axelrod added.”

Welcome to weird coincidence land! Turns out a buddy of Bill Ayers named Jeff Jones who was also the co-founder of the Weather Underground is now on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a radical lefty group that helped to draft the $787 BILLION dollar Stimulus Bill.

“Could it be that the 1,200-page American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill, written prior to Obama’s inauguration, is actually cribbed from the Apollo Economic Recovery Act? If so, does that also hold true for the administration’s cap and trade energy bill, which has already passed in the House?”

Is it any wonder the White House refuses to release its visitor records?

“The group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed its lawsuit after being denied access to Secret Service records, including White House entry and exit logs, that would identify coal and energy industry visitors.”

“The government’s refusal to release the records contrasts with President Obama’s pledge of transparency.”

“Transparency” was another LIE from Obama. He was/is friends with Bill Ayers. He was/is sympathetic to The Weather Underground. We are witnessing an American coup by the radical left.

These are the very people who are attacking Glenn Beck for exposing them. What a dark day for America when the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization, has the ear of the American President and is authoring legislation to be paid for by the American people. It’s sickening.

Meet Maurice Schwenkler. He supports Progressive Liberal politics and in his spare time, he smashes windows and vandalizes Democrat offices to make it look like Conservatives did it.

Unfortunately for Maurice, he got busted today but not before Democrat leaders immediately insisted the act must have been committed by some angry Conservative mobsters or Tea Party racists.

The Denver Post reports:

“A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party headquarters tried to conceal his identity while allegedly committing the crime, according to police descriptions.”

“Maurice Schwenkler wore a shirt over his face, a hooded sweat shirt and latex gloves before he and another man fled the scene on bicycles, police said. Schwenkler was apprehended after a short chase. The other suspect remains at large.”

“While Schwenkler does not appear in the state’s voter registration database, a person by that name in November 2008 received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.”

“The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.”

“A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.”

“State Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak initially blamed the vandalism on animosity surrounding the health care debate, though Denver police declined to comment on possible motives.”

“We ought to be having a serious, conscientious debate about what’s best for the country,” Waak said. “Clearly there’s been an effort on the other side to stir up hate. I think this is the consequence of it.”

Next time you read about some atrocity that’s been attributed to “right wing” extremists, remember Maurice and his epic FAIL.

Gateway Pundit has discovered that this kid has ties to the SEIU!

Well, what a surprise!

MORE!

Michelle Malkin rightly asks, “Where’s the apology from Waak?”

Imagine what would happen if a close advisor to President Bush was part of right wing organization that actively pushed advertisers to boycott Keith Olbermann for being too critical of the Bush/Cheney administration.

Do you think people would sit by and let it happen? Would any of our friends on the left have a problem with that?

Enter President Obama’s “Green Czar”, Van Jones.

Van Jones, who once belonged to a Marxist organization called STORM, is now part of a group called Color of Change, and they’re trying to take down FOX News host Glenn Beck.

They didn’t like it when Beck suggested President Obama was a racist – A comment he made following the Professor Gates arrest when Obama charged the Cambridge Police with acting stupidly and because of Obama’s voluntary relationships with people like Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Color of Change has even hired a high powered PR firm to fight for them.

NewsBusters reports:

“As NewsBuster Matthew Vadum Wednesday, a race-baiting group named Color Of Change — co-founded by President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones — has launched a campaign to get companies to stop advertising on Glenn Beck’s television program.”

“When you add it all up, a current member of the Obama administration is co-founder of a group trying to get a conservative talker off the air, and is being assisted by a powerful New York PR firm. And America’s so-called journalists couldn’t care less.”

Vadum also has a piece at American Spectator which suggest this is personal for Van Jones:

“The particularly unsavory left-wing pressure group Color of Change has an axe to grind with Glenn Beck — and it’s personal.”

“The extremist racial grievance group isn’t happy that Beck did several news packages on Van Jones, President Obama’s controversial green jobs czar who describes himself as a communist. (Green really is the new red.)”

“Jones is a founding board member of Color of Change, but Color of Change doesn’t want you to know that. Maybe having an avowed America-hating radical on the group’s board is bad public relations.”

TAKE ACTION: Red State provides a list of contacts at Beck’s vulnerable advertisers.

Also be sure to read this comprehensive report by Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs.

After playing the race card at every opportunity to get Obama elected, his supporters can’t handle the slightest whiff of their own medicine. With the help of a silent media and a thuggish Chicago style administration, they’re going right for the throat, First Amendment be damned.

This is what we’ve come to. Snitch Programs at the White House. Attempts to demonize the American people for any form of dissent. And bullying thug tactics to shut down opposition in media.

All this in six months.

The left called Bush a fascist for eight years.

It was never funny but it has also never seemed like more of a joke.

The incident in the video took place in St. Louis, MO after a town hall meeting with Rep. Russ Carnahan. The protester who was attacked happens to be a black man and a conservative. Hope and change.

UPDATE: A member of Russ Carnahan’s own staff was arrested for trying to pick fights with people.

Dissent under Bush was patriotic.

Dissent under Obama is a “mob.”

The wars in the middle east under Bush were “treason.” Obama hasn’t ended the wars and needs more troops for Afghanistan.

The left accused Bush of having a “shadow government.” Obama really HAS a shadow government.

Dick Cheney was accused of favoring Halliburton.

Obama really IS favoring General Electric.

Nancy Pelosi lies and  accuses conservative protesters of having nazi signs. Liberal Bush protesters openly acused Bush of being a nazi.

The left accused the Bush Administration of being Big Brother. The Obama Administration is OPENLY acting like Big Brother.

The left is accusing average American citizens of being astroturfers. Obama and his chief advisor David Axelrod are successful because of their expertise in astroturfing.

Bush critics said he was violating the civil rights of American citizens. Obama loyalists want ObamaCare protesters named, photographed and indexed.

Obama, the Democrats and their leftist base are engaging in and embracing EVERY SINGLE THING they falsely accused the Bush Administration of doing, and worse.

Down is up.

Poor is rich.

War is peace.

Elitism is equality.

Lies are truth.

Welcome to Bizarro America.

Below is an official email the DNC is sending out to its members to discredit ObamaCare protesters. Their email will be in blue, my responses will be in red followed by links.

5 Facts About the Anti-Reform Mobs

There’s been a lot of media coverage about organized mobs intimidating lawmakers, disrupting town halls, and silencing real discussion about the need for real health insurance reform.

The truth is, it’s a sham. These “grassroots protests” are being organized and largely paid for by Washington special interests and insurance companies who are desperate to block reform. They’re trying to use lies and fear to break the President and his agenda for change.

Health insurance reform is about our lives, our jobs, and our families — we can’t let distortions and intimidation get in the way. We need to expose these outrageous tactics, and we’re counting on you to help. Can you read these “5 facts about the anti-reform mobs,” then pass them along to your friends and family?

5 facts about the anti-reform mobs

1. These disruptions are being funded and organized by out-of-district special-interest groups and insurance companies who fear that health insurance reform could help Americans, but hurt their bottom line. A group run by the same folks who made the “Swiftboat” ads against John Kerry is compiling a list of congressional events in August to disrupt. An insurance company coalition has stationed employees in 30 states to track where local lawmakers hold town-hall meetings. THIS IS A LIE – Notice there’s no link to any reputable news source tying the protests to anything. They have NOTHING. Furthermore…

Here’s a recent poll from Quinnipiac which shows a majority of Americans OPPOSE ObamaCare.

2. People are scared because they are being fed frightening lies. These crowds are being riled up by anti-reform lies being spread by industry front groups that invent smears to tarnish the President’s plan and scare voters. But as the President has repeatedly said, health insurance reform will create more health care choices for the American people, not reduce them. If you like your insurance or your doctor, you can keep them, and there is no “government takeover” in any part of any plan supported by the President or Congress. LIE – Notice that again, there is no proof offered to back up their ridiculous claims. Furthermore, that bit about being able to keep your doctor has been proven to be a lie.

See this report which cites the Congressional Budget Office.

3. Their actions are getting more extreme.Texas protesters brought signs displaying a tombstone for Rep. Lloyd Doggett and using the “SS” symbol to compare President Obama’s policies to Nazism. Maryland Rep. Frank Kratovil was hanged in effigy outside his district office. Rep. Tim Bishop of New York had to be escorted to his car by police after an angry few disrupted his town hall meeting — and more examples like this come in every day. And they have gone beyond just trying to derail the President’s health insurance reform plans, they are trying to “break” the President himself and ruin his Presidency. LIE – The ObamaCare protesters are getting extreme? What, you mean like ACORN? Did Democrat protesters never call Bush a nazi? Are they serious? Also, note the last line from this claim about ruining Obama’s presidency. Guess who said that… OBAMA Himself!

See HERE.

4. Their goal is to disrupt and shut down legitimate conversation. Protesters have routinely shouted down representatives trying to engage in constructive dialogue with voters, and done everything they can to intimidate and silence regular people who just want more information. One attack group has even published a manual instructing protesters to “stand up and shout” and try to “rattle” lawmakers to prevent them from talking peacefully with their constituents. LIE - Just more fear mongering with no facts. What they are describing is what Obama has told his supporters to do. Remember when Obama told an adoring  crowd last fall? SEE THIS:

“I want you to argue with them and get in their face!”

5. Republican leadership is irresponsibly cheering on the thuggish crowds. Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner issued a statement applauding and promoting a video of the disruptions and looking forward to “a long, hot August for Democrats in Congress.” LIE – The crowds are patriotic Americans voicing their dissent, not THUGS as the DNC would have it. Wasn’t protesting the president a sign of patriotic dissent just a few short months ago?

I thought it was.

Things are getting really ugly.

As the American people struggle to find and reach their representatives and make their voices heard at town halls across the country, the liberal Democrats have launched a counter offensive: Demonize average American citizens.

They’re saying that all the anger over ObamaCare is fake, being orchestrated by the GOP and lobbyists and is just a bunch of birthers.

“DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse issued a statement about “the Republican Party and Allied Groups’ Mob Rule,” saying that the “Republicans and their allied groups — desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill – are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.”

They’ve also released the following video. Notice that they feature a “birther” in the beginning and end of the video. Also notice that all of the protesters look like average people.

Now let’s look at this video of an ACORN protest. ACORN is protesting outside a bank in Detroit and they eventually mob their way through the door. Notice that everyone in the video is wearing a uniform. THIS is a mob organized by unions and government insiders. THIS is what the DNC is accusing average citizens of doing. In other words, the DNC is accusing the American people of using THEIR tactics against them.

Michelle Malkin reminds the left what a Mob Really Looks Like.

The DNC of course has the media on their side because the media and the DNC are all the same people.

CNN is at least giving the RNC statement reaction to the DNC:

“What Democrats call ‘mob rule’ the average American calls ‘democracy.’ Is this the strategy Democrats had in mind when they promised to galvanize public opinion regarding their unpopular massive government-takeover of health care?”

“This hyper-defensive reaction from the Democrat Party speaks volumes about the precarious position their members find themselves in. Speaker Pelosi and other party leaders dubbed this recess a healthcare ‘offensive,’ but little did we know the ‘offensiveness’ would be aimed at their own constituents. These kinds of despicable characterizations of middle class Americans, who oppose trillions in mounting government debt, as elements of the partisan ‘fringe’ smacks of elitism.”

If you’re looking for a town hall in your area, you can find it HERE.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

The American MSM floats through a dream of enchantment while mafia like acts of unprecedented corruption are being committed in our nation’s capital.

First, let us consider the allegations that President Obama and his cronies are using the power of the White House to threaten creditors at a car company. The Business Insider reports:

“Creditors to Chrysler describe negotiations with the company and the Obama administration as “a farce,” saying the administration was bent on forcing their hands using hardball tactics and threats.”

“Conversations with administration officials left them expecting that they would be politically targeted, two participants in the negotiations said.”

“One person described the administration as the most shocking “end justifies the means” group they have ever encountered.  Another characterized Obama was “the most dangerous smooth talker on the planet- and I knew Kissinger.” Both were voters for Obama in the last election.”

Then, consider Jonah Goldberg’s piece for the LA Times today, reminding us that the above story is just the tip of the iceberg. Democrats are mired deeper in corruption today than any group of politicians in recent memory which provides the reason for his succinct subtitle: Meet the new political bosses, worse than the old political bosses.

“Let’s look at the here and now. Barack Obama, who vowed he’d provide a transparent administration staffed with disinterested public servants with the self-restraint of Roman castrati, appointed an admitted tax cheat to run the Treasury Department — and he’s hardly the only one in the administration.”

“New York Rep. Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, is under investigation for, among other things, failing to report income from his Caribbean villa. Meanwhile, Sen. Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, got sweetheart deals from subprime lender Countrywide and has yet to adequately explain his too-good-to-be-true deal on his million-dollar “cottage” in Ireland, which he may have gotten in exchange for finagling a pardon (from President Clinton) for a felon. Oh, Dodd also secretly protected those AIG bonuses that raised such a ruckus last month.”

“Rep. Jack Murtha of Pennsylvania, Nancy Pelosi’s moral authority on military matters during the Iraq war, has been revealed as a kleptomaniac of sorts, delivering as much of the federal budget as possible to various cronies and lobbyists.”

“John Edwards, who had an affair even as he was scoring Oprah-points as the supportive husband during his wife’s battle with breast cancer, is being investigated by the feds for the improper use of campaign funds. It looks like the silky haired champion of the little guys may have used their donations to bribe the alleged “baby mama” into silence.”

“And it would be a shame to let it pass that Obama’s Senate seat was put up for sale by the then-Democratic governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, and Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is under investigation for trying to buy it.”

“But you know what? We ain’t seen nothing yet. For starters, the real corruption isn’t what the media are ignoring or downplaying as isolated incidents. It’s what the media are hailing as bold, inspirational leadership. The White House, as a matter of policy, is rewriting legal contracts, picking winners (mostly labor unions and mortgage defaulters) and singling out losers (evil “speculators”) while much of the media continue to ponder whether Obama is better than FDR.”

“If a Republican administration, staffed with cronies from Goldman Sachs and Citibank, was cutting special deals for its political allies, I suspect we’d be hearing fewer FDR analogies and more nouns ending with the suffix “gate.”

Ya think? Goldberg hits the nail squarely on the head. The American left, which includes our media,  accuses the previous administration and conservatives of crimes while they themselves engage in illegal and anti-American acts never seen our country’s short history.

Average Americans need to open their eyes and realize they’re being played for fools. The party currently in power is lying to you and being helped by a media which is supposed to be on your side.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet… they’re not.
