Union members are called thugs because they intimidate and hit people and use fear to silence people.
They are called commies because what they believe relates to communism and socialism.
I love how the right wing goons post that same video of a guy tapping a camera with a sign at least 10 times a day like it's the holy grail. Epic fail.
Would you prefer we post the one where the union thug runs across the street and starts pushing a Tea Partier and then gets arrested?
How about we post the one about the WI Dem telling a female GOP Assemblywoman that she's "F**CKING DEAD"
Of maybe the one where the union thug blind-sides a guy with a shove?
Now if you think those are acceptable behavior, and not thuggish, then it's YOU who have a problem.
I read a little snippet the other day that sums up the situation perfectly:
A public union employee, a tea partier, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies sitting in the middle of it. The CEO takes eleven cookies, then turns to the tea partier and says, "Hey, watch out for that union guy. He wants to steal your cookie."
I don't understand what it is about some conservatives/Republicans that makes the idea of living wages and decent benefits for regular working people so morally abhorrent....
Yes, some unions have been corrupt and greedy, but for the most part they support a good cause. That cause being that those doing the actual work in any endeavor should share in the success of the endeavor.

Should we post the video of the tea party thugs tackling and stomping on the head of a young lady?
How about the video of a tea party goon punching a man in the face at a palin rally?
Maybe the one of an ultra-right scumbag punching a woman in the face at a sharron angle even.
The right are grasping at straws in desperation to find ANYTHING they can to vilify their "violent union thugs" propaganda but the problem is there is none.
Pushing and shoving is one thing, but flat out assault, especially on women is the tea party's specialty

The WI dem isn't a union member. He's an elected official. The stupid guy who shoved someone was in California, and I have no idea about the guy who you say "blind sided" someone.
Whenever you get hundreds of thousands of people together for weeks on end, you're going to have bad behavior, especially when emotions are running high. The Wisconsin protests have been amazingly peaceful, regardless of what you want to say about them--that's coming from LAW ENFORCEMENT. I'm not a liberal, but I'm not a fan of the tea party either--they're radicals. They had one protest nationally that was organized for weeks, bused nearly everyone in, and it equaled one day in Wisconsin. Calling people in unions "thugs" doesn't help your cause, because in this case, you're talking about teachers, nurses, cops and firefighters. Those are our neighbors--we all know people in those professions, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find people--outside of radical right wing agitators--who would call those folks "thugs" under any circumstances. It hurts you more than helps you.
