LOL well played, Ms. Palin. What's good for the goose.....
Palin Says RHETORIC From Wisconsin 'Union Bosses' Will Get People Hurt (VIDEO)
During an appearance on Sean Hannity's TV show, Sarah Palin had a warning about the protests going on against the bill just signed by Gov. Scott Walker's (R-WI) to curtail public employee unions -- saying that unions should "tone down the rhetoric" against the bill, because it will result in people getting hurt.
Palin says, "These union bosses that are acting like thugs, as they are leading some of their good union members down a road that will ultimately result in, unfortunately, somebody getting hurt, if you believe the death threats that are being received by those who just happen to support amending some collective bargaining privileges of state unions. Well, it is these unions bosses' responsibility to turn down the rhetoric and start getting truth out there, so that nobody gets hurt."
People do you realize who belongs to unions?
Police- I guess crime in certain areas will go unsolved
Firemen- hmm unusually long wait times to put out certain fires
Sanitation Workers- I sure don't want to be republican on some there routes
Caseworkers- more complaints and more pissed off poor people
DMV- Do you think that you wait long now?
Prison Guards- Like they have incenitive to maintain order now
Interesting though since the politicans don't belong to any unions and NONE of THEIR pay is affected by any cuts
It's far from off topic considering this thread is about the death threats and violence. To me (and I have a right to my own opinion as far as I know) those protestors are acting like animals. They sure are not acting like ladies and gentlemen. I have yet to see one protest or rally from conservatives where they acted like the left. At one rally one man was ranting and others came and appoligized for his behavior.
If you do not like the responses to the left's actions and behavior, maybe you can tell them to knock it off!
Huh, Dc the teaparty is a right wing organization is'nt it?
You really have to grasp the big picture of whats going on, the unions are the only thing keeping the total dismantling of the middle class. The budget is only a excuse to continue what what they had planned all along. If you will notice that management have not been asked to make any concessions to their pay or benefits. Have you also noticed that the very same people who caused this mess in the first place have not drafted any legistation on taking a pay cut to help the budget?
Regarding the death threats, I do not agree with them but it shows the fraustration and desparation being felt by the middle class and the masses

Sure I believe the Tea Party are mostly right wing. We have a few libs in our Tea Party who are against raising taxes and some other issues. People join for one issue or many. We don't always agree but enough in common to join forces.
The unions have gotten way out of control. I do not see anything wrong with employess being given a choice to join, nor do I see why the state is force to collect the dues for the unions. We, the taxpayers have to pay for the service too? Tax payers should not have to fund their demands for things like Viagra. Enough is enough. Walker did the right thing and they also took a cut.
There is nothing good to say about the unions when bad teachers cannot be fired and good productive teachers are laid off. How about that toll booth worker who's wages was around $50,000 but their benefits hiked it over $300,000?! Tax payers paying for benefits like bowling? Seriously? The unions all need busted and ridiculous benefits done away with. If things get ugly, unions could organized again.
