What a bunch of nancy pants, they couldn't deal with one guy unplugging their speakers and called for the mommy, the police? Tea party should really get out of this 'revolution' business, it doesn't look like their cup of tea. No stomach for it.

Why do you espouse violence to get a political point across?

Anyway, not so fast tough guy.

Here's more of the story, the police detained the union thug for physically attacking a guy who tried to stop him from destroying other's private property.

Obviously the police didn't think the union thug was being very nice.

"MADISON, Wisc. — Police officers in Madison detained and subsequently released a labor union operative who attempted, somewhat successfully, to destroy the speaker system at the Tea Party counter rally Saturday.

Police would not release the name of the man, or any more details, but eyewitnesses told The Daily Caller he ripped the wiring out of several different speaker systems. Part of the sound system went out for about five minutes.

When a Tea Partier, Luke Bacher, confronted the man ripping the speaker wiring out, Bacher said the man physically assaulted him. That caused police to get involved and detain the union operative........

Love to hear where you work. This way thousands of people can protest your job existing and randomly change the terms and conditions of your employment on whims because "It's our political right" to inflict ourselves on employees. If those are the new rules of engagement I think hostile takeovers of corporations could easily become literal by tossing CEO's out a window might be the vote of some exercising their newly minted freedom.

Geez doc1, you make it seem as if teabaggers don't ever commit "thuggery" of their own - or did you forget the ******* who stomped on the woman's head at the Rand Paul rally. Worse, the bagger then wanted the woman to apologize to him. There shouldn't be violence either way, but let's not kid ourselves. There is. On both sides.

If that's how you feel about CEOs, go for it.

I've been on both sides of the fence. Industrial union member for 18 years and shop stewart for four. The shop stewart gig got real old real fast when it became apparent which workers need the union the most.

I lost the shop stewart thing when I was getting laid off due to seniority. Merit had absolutely nothing to do with staying employed.

Great system, huh?

Not sure what that emotional rant is about but I think ring kissing only works in the public sector where productivity doesn't matter much in terms of staying in business. Need more money? Just raise taxes.

I don't know how you've gotten ahead but in my case it was continually updating my skills, showing a willingness to move and outworking the slackers. YMMV.

So you defend this behavior.

Of course some homosexuals commit thuggery. Post those concerns in one of the gay threads. Not this one.

I don't know how old you are but to try and compare a violent, unlawful act of a single TPer to the long history of labor unions and violence, racketeering, being mobbed up (I live in NJ, that doesn't even raise an eyebrow here) and corruption only flies in Progressive echo chambers.

I think the guy who stepped on that woman's head should be jailed if found guilty.

So should violent union thugs, I'm sure we both agree on that.

Sure. Because your particular union is deemed not worthy of defense, you attack a former career of mine (oil industry). Started out union, worked my way up, wore the hat, switched over to mgmt. with no need of spitting on where I came from. Sour grapes- you couldn't just decide to move along to another job, union or non union? Have to destroy in your wake? Nice job!

Had you real faith in capitalism tempering union forces you'd not be conducting yourself as you are. That's how I recognize the crony in you. America is a higher calling. Try it some day.

Those thousands of people are the teacher's employers.

Nothing random about calling these clowns on the carpet.

It's still a free country and no one is forcing them to stay in these jobs.


More to the point, the left has pulled out all the stops once again to defy the will of the voters.

OK, good.

Keep it up.

You'll make this easy for us.
