Oh, that video of the TP protest?

Cleaver and his cohorts allegations have been total debunked by the plethora of video from that day. In other words, they LIED.

Default union thug is in the dictionary

The concept that 'union thug' conjurs is universally understood and based on a solid reputation. 'Union thug' is well establised in our lexicon.

It is unfathomable that any loyal Americans still belong to the unions which have clearly demonstrated their alliegience with communist and socialist backed organizations.

It's clear that retired iron workers and other men struggling in the trades have to support the unions to which they contributed their entire working lives and are now dependant on their benefits.

The unsavory uniion bosses that have traditionally screwed members have morphed from the traditional mob run organizations to socialist/communist run organizations. The union members are captive pawns.

The fight is between taxpayers and unions that provide the economic life support for their dem legislators.

The tea party says they lied--which I take with a grain of salt whenever it comes from the group being challenged--and the video isn't clear. I have no idea what personally happened. My point was that the crowd there wasn't much better behaved, and if law enforcement hadn't been escorting the Congressmen, it probably would have looked a whole like what you saw on the video in Wisconsin.

It isn't a crime to walk with an elected official and yell "shame." Do I like that kind of behavior--no--but it's pretty typical whenever you have groups of really upset voters confronting an elected official.

The numerous VIDEOS of that day say they LIED. Not only video taken by individuals on the scene, but by the NETWORKS, who were all over the Capitol that day - not one of them can produce a video corroborating the claims.

The TP wasn't chasing people all over the US capitol that day, cornering them.

This video is really, really bad for the "cause".

We can thank the union goons and their supporters at that WI capitol for that.

The concept that 'corporate thug' conjurs is universally understood and based on a solid reputation. 'Corporate thug' is well established in the lexicon of people who know what is REALLY going on..

It is unfathomable that any loyal Americans worship as their only god corporations which have clearly demonstrated their allegiance to Fascism and greed and their hatred, disloyalty and disdain for America

It's clear that retired iron workers and other men struggling in the trades have to support the unions to which they contributed their entire working lives and are now living off on their earned benefits which corporations are taking, and have taken, away.

The unsavory corporate bosses that have traditionally screwed employees and have morphed from driving the economy through good pay and benefits to the traditional mob run organizations. The employees are captive pawns, who, with no union, have NO voice or power.

The fight between taxpayers and taxpaying union members is good news to corporate tyrants that provide the economic life support for their Republican governors like Walker.

Please note that the president is allowing all of this to take place without a word of control, calmness, or toning down the rhetoric - which is what we got during the Giffords incident less than two months ago.

I love the buzzword "thug." It's almost always applied solely to union members and supporters. Anyone who opposes the dismantling of unions is a "thug." Most likely "bused in" from out of town.

Disgusting display of the TRUE behavior of the unions and their supporters.
What media sanrene ? Remember the 24 hour vigil of the mainstream press just hoping to find a teaparty person get out of line........I don't see it here with the union protesters in fact they keep preaching how peaceful it is.
