Apparently, I wasn't disappointed by the Uncle Tom comment later on in the thread by a racist.

Funny how he said it after I predicted he would.
Just couldn't resist, I guess . . .

I wanna ask your opinion. Do you think the Union goons jumped on this guy solely b/c he is black?

I am just very disturbed about the whole thing.

He was handing out "Don't Tread on Me" stuff and that is very meaningful to the history of this country, wh/ was founded on that phrase. Is that why they bullied him - cause of the material he had?

I am having a hard time with this behavior. As a writer, free speech and the right to protest is something I am willing to go to jail for - and something I had to be cognizant of - that I could end up in contempt of court for refusing to turn over a confidential source, for example. So I take all this very seriously. Anyone trying to usurp my Constitutional right to free speech is gonna meet with resistance.

In fact, anyone trying to quell or censor YOUR right to free speech is gonna meet with my resistance - and I don't care if I agree with what you are saying, or not.

So I am very disturbed about all this attempt at censorship. And I a doubly disturbed that this is taking place under the auspices of the White House.

That White House website instructing folks to alert staff of any emails, messages, etc floating around that are "erroneous" sent chills up my spin. Now this Union strongarming of folks at town meetings . . . I keep wondering - am I in America or am I in Gorky Park, circa 1964, LOL?????

You injected race into this. You can admit it or deny it - but it's plain to see.

I see that you failed to watch the offered video. Somehow the man never did sound to me like he was whining and they beat the hell out of him.

In the ER they treated him for bruises on the back of the head, the back,the elbow and a knee in addition to the bruises on his face. Naw, some black man trying to make a dollar should have his right of expression and his right to free speech abridged by the army that the Dems sent in to enforce their will. I guess he was whining when he mentioned that the SEIU people ame in a side door while protesters were being held back from entering. Yep, you didn't watch that video, but who would expect you to do such a thing.

All I want to know is when WILL BLACKS WAKE UP to the real racist, the Democrats! Juat how many blacks have they called an Uncle Tom unless they walk in jack-step with the left wingers? BaBa Boxer talked
r e a l s l o w to Harry Alford a CEO as though he was an idiot. It was disgusting to see her treat a man of his position like that.



WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

I agree! They are the ones who started this crap and now they are discovering that we are not going to stand by and allow them to disrupt and dominate our town halls any longer. He is lucky he only got a little ass whuppin.

Is that a direct threat to anyone who dares to excersize their freedom of speech?
