Right-Wing Media Freak Out Over Union Protests In Wisconsin

[Joanne98]

Responding to Wisconsin state workers' protests against Gov. Scott Walker's (R) proposed legislation that would strip state workers of their collective bargaining rights, right-wing media have characterized the protests as "riots" and "uprisings" and attacked the protesters as "thugs" who could "get violent."

1. When working people stand up for themselves that's a very scary thing to many people

A very scary thing indeed.

9. We agree.............

and this type of coverage just proves that they ARE scared. They thought we would be sheep. Instead we've shown the beginnings of being wolves. It DOES scare them.

A few characters missing, above:

VIOLENCE AND HATE ARE THE CORE VALUES OF THE UNION COMMUNIST MOVEMENT.

There are no reasons for unions any more, other than to advance the goals of Communism. ALL UNIONS MUST BE CRUSHED (politically) before they cause more violence and hate. All the Union Communist Movement has to offer is violence and hate.

With these actions shown in the link I posted in my comment, the Violent, Hateful Union Communist Movement has shown that they implicitly endorse the near-fatal injury of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

6. Good, and Beck is calling them same as radical Muslims.

Keep the GOP hating american values. Further right. Ever further. The GOP will die, soon. Teafreaks dont have a clue where the levers of power are. They will be dead meat, when we tire of their idiocy.

7. Historically, the only thugs who get violent at these protests are

the provocateurs who are paid to do so by the right wing.

8. True. It's always the authoritarian personalities that freak out when someone

goes rogue and quits being a sheep.

10. Exhibit A titled "We must be doing something right"

They only call it class war when we fight back.
