You libs have gone stark raving crazy. No citizen deserves to be shut up or beaten by facist government thugs for ANY "reason". How the hell can anyone in thier right mind justify or condone this? Are you that nuts over Obama that this is just fine with you now? See Nazi Germany. It was initially okay then also, as they were just beating up Jews and gays. Then it turned to catholics, the mentally ill, gypsies, "slavic" people, free masons, ect......

Obama should be named in the suit for causing a hate crime. Welcome to Chicago politics as usual, USA.
The American brown shirts are wearing purple and red but acting just like those of Germany in their attempts to intimidate.

You are so right about how that left leaning group is talking to any black people who don't toe the left leaning line. When will blacks ever awaken to how they are being used? Even the one in the White House is being used by the Chicago politicians he took in with him

You are about the only one who sees it that way. Every credible source reported what the video shows. Union thugs beating and intimidating protesters.

Not the MSM but those who we of the right listen to. I do, for sure, know what they are there for. I have read what they say they do on their home page. Have you done that?

Listen my friend if I am wrong prove it. Produce one credible source (I am sorry Media Matters doesn't fit the bill) that supports your proposition. Surely since it is so obvious you should be able to source your claims with the USA Today, the Times etc. Well of course you can't because you would rather believe a partisan account of what happened rather than the truth. I can understand that since the truth is so repugnant.

The video speaks for itself, don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the "victim" wasn't injured.....he is a scammer.

Talk about burying your head in the sand. How sad. But that is what the left is counting on folks who will buy their BS uncritically. Sadly there are too make limited folks out there who are their willing dupes.

I am disgusted that this thread has to be immediately broken in to a race banter...this was an American peacefully protesting outside...not against America but against an ideology he disagrees with.

Color has nothing to do with it.

Stop drudging up the **** and focus on what really happened. It is wrong no matter who gets pummeled. Anti-Bush, Anti-Obama, Anti-war, Anti-corruption - whatever the political ire...do you really want dissent to be beaten in to silence and submission instead of freedom of exchange and debate?

Our 'average citizens' are being reduced by the media and elite as simpletons, and hand-picked examples on both sides are being offered as representations of the whole.

I have to agree with you completely about this subject. I brought along the About Us part of the MediaMatters home page for Meson and will post it here, where meson will surely see it.



Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.

Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda — every day, in real time.

Using the website mediamatters.org as the principal vehicle for disseminating research and information, Media Matters posts rapid-response items as well as longer research and analytic reports documenting conservative misinformation throughout the media. Additionally, Media Matters works daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions.


They twist and spin words they don't like to sound more like the libs that use them as a source for their thinking want to hear.
