Nobody attacks someone who is merely "reporting" - they may well attack an agitator who went there to taunt the crowd and stir them up to get an attack on film. This is Fox at its "best". This tactic is stock-in-trade for desperate right-wing organizations.
You, as a conservative, are closer to fascist than I will ever be - much closer.
Kind of like Bill Maher? So if Bill Maher were to show up at a Tea Party rally and "annoy" the people there by asking them "Do you believe Sarah Palin is a c***?" and a Tea Party member clobbered him and fellow Tea Party members tore down a tent that a bunch of humping hippies were fornicating in, that would be okay with you? Violence is "okay" if anyone has the audacity to "annoy" a Liberal? I just want equal rights when it comes to punching out anyone who is annoying, I'm sure you understand.

Eight of the ten poorest states have been RTW states for years. When is the "magic" going to happen?
The truth about RTW:
* After years of RTW, poverty is higher in those states - 10 or 11 of the 15 poorest states are RTW and almost none of the richest ones are. Unemployment runs about half a point lower on average in RTW states than in non-RTW states (for every Texas there's a Nevada).
* Almost every quality-of-life factor is lower in RTW states.
* RTW has had zero effect on outsourcing jobs.
* RTW is not an economic issue and never has been - it's a political one, a philosophical preference for top-down control of industry, favoring ownership and management.
* It's also about politically de-funding the Democratic Party and raising the power of corporate money in government (courtesy of repubs).
Red states which "hate government" are more dependent on govt than blue states. It's the blue states which subsidize them.

Remember --- it was Bill Clinton that pushed through and signed the NAFTA deal -- and that was certainly about cheap wages and putting Americans out of work.

Obama only expanded NAFTA and is just as avid as GW Bush about bringing in millions of cheap illegal workers. You seriously cannot blame only the Republicans for cheap labor. They can have their fair share of blame, but exactly why do you think Obama just took that trip to SE Asia? More cheap labor of course. I don't see how you can be so fooled.

Are you saying that the attack on the AFP tent took place because Crowder was there? How about the destruction of the business place, his hot dog stand, of Clinton Tarver? Oh, I forgot, they destroyed that thing because Tarver went to the aid of the women buried in the tent.

Your post was pure union Pelosi and I would say that you are one of those who was at Lansing yesterday from the sound of it.

The idea of a free trade agreement began under Ronald Reagan, was signed by H.W. Bush and approved during the Clinton administration. How did Mexico and Canada put Americans out of work, insignificant compared to US jobs in Asia.

I couldn't see their shirts but it certainly was the method the brown shirts of Hitler used all the time. I have heard defense of those cruds all day from people who say the whole thing was caused by that man named Crowder exciting the union thugs. I say it was our Glorious Leader, Hussein Obama, who did it with his speech in Michigan. It makes no difference, it became very obvious why those people in Wisconsin made all their noise about AFP and the Koch brothers from how they acted. Once you arouse a mob like that one was you can just stand back and watch them react.

They should have gone further and killed all manning the tent and everyone associated with that horrible group. Finish off with a public beheading of the Koch brothers and their families on live TV. Time to get all French Revolution up in this place.

What is AFP? I hear so much left leaning crap about it and it seems that until unions get involved I never hear much lefty noise about the Koch brothers or the AFP. Do you really know what it is other than what leaners say about it?

You forgot your sarcasm emoticon. That was sarcastic, right?

AFP stands for Americans For Prosperity. The people behind it stand for what is in the best interest for the corporate world and its profits. Having a union in a workplace certainly isn't it.
