7. "Attacks" on worker rights
"Attacks" on workplace safety
"Attacks" on child-labor laws
"Attacks" on the minimum wage
"Attacks" on Medicare and Social Security
"Attacks" on homeowners with fraudulent foreclosures
"Attacks" on public education
"Attacks" on health care
etc.etc.etc...

Not really violence, per se, but "violent attacks" to eliminate the Middle Class and transform workers into corporate serfs...

3. Part Of The Script...
How else do the rushpublicans get public support for their union busting? Demonize them. Paint them as anarchists and how the big bad evil teamsters (images of their soiled past) are...and they support the black guy. Obviously he agrees with their calls to violence (cue the Reverend Wright soundbites). It's all a distraction game...keep this administration on the defensive about trivial bullshit and if they don't dance, they're weak. If they dance, they're weak as well. My prediction: they'll dance.

Like you, I think we won't see it. What a shame.

4. They do not want strong Democrats. They want Democrats
who lie down and roll over. If Unions become Militant
it will be because both parties put the screws to
the Middle Class.

8. At least dingdong recognizes Perry can't beat Obama.
Shades of lucidity in the fog of stupidity.

9. It IS heartwarming. They should be afraid. Maybe we'll start getting angry and fighting back.

12. Why aren't they as "nice" to fiery unions as they were to tea baggers?
Such a double standard by these corporate shill f'ers!

18. Good idea randr! I think that the unions
that run those TV shows should press for that. I've always thought that we need an armed worker's militia as a counterbalance to the "Second Amendment remedy" Tbaggers. Maybe the proto fascists will hesitate to shoot if they KNOW people might shoot back.
