Union Thugs at Tim Bishop Town Hall

[whywontthebritishdie]

Union zombies. I don't know if they know what they are doing. They certainly don't know how to negotiate for themselve though. It's also a shame that their hard work creates million dollar bank accounts for their corrupt "leaders".

[riksw2]

Why do you think they are union people? If a regular worker doesn't belong to a union they are a f''n idiot. there is a reason why people organize unions. It's so they have a voice. It's called representation. Only people brainwashed in these right to slave states think unions are bad.

[ecoastdude]

Nice job exposing the arrogant slime of the "progressive".

I was at a few myself last summer.

[cgord31]

People in unions remind me of monkeys. They just scream and throw feces.

[zona1492]

union workers suck, all lazy POS

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " Pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land."

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land."

Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land.

God help us.

[Retloth]

Lol, awsome!

[iamavet]

So Obama and the Dems want a physical fight over health care, well that can be arranged.

Unions want to attack Americans expressing free speech, than why buy products made by Americans.

This message is for Tim Bishop !!! You better start packing your bags because the Elections can't come soon enough !! Youv'e shown over & over your just another dirty politian with your Red shirt thugs !! ( Just like the Brown shirts ) These cwa thugs had no right being at that meeting if they did not live & pay taxes in that district !!!! Bishop should have grown some B - - -'s & thrown their asses out !! ( Guess he couldn't rescind his invite !!! )

[sumners99]

as much as i hate to say this cause i agree they should be thrown out ., some of these redshirts do live in his district i know cause i work with some of them

p.s. i dont get along with them at work either lol i wonder why

[tmessina013]

Gee, look at all the nice mass-printed signs of the astroturf union people....

[Lucem2]

The Public Option will go.

We the people elected Obama with that mandate and he is going to execute it.

The vocal minority of the Health Care Cartel is gullible.

There is unanimous support for HC reform in Congress and The White House on both sides of the isle.

[sumners99]

the vocal cartel you speak of is in fact a majority.

and both sides of the isle do not support this bill in fact the dems may have to use reconcilation to get it passed

obama was elected president yes, but he was not given mandates by anyone ..

and if the public option goes so will obama in 2012, but im afraid the damage will have been done by then

[rocketbails]

so right. What's the point of having representatives "representing" The People? Their answer: to give The People what's best for them. I am so sick and tired of the government telling me what is "best" for me and my family. This government is corrupt and out of control! Stand up and SPEAK! YELL! do what ever possible to get your voice heard. I just bet the Founding Fathers and colonists did some yelling and screaming too.

[ProjectShiningCity]

Judging by the videos Lecem2 has put out since 2007, somebody should get their head out of the hookah pipe... where are the facts? I smell a delete.

[ParisianHermit]

this is terrible....these union thugs and politicians trying to exert their influence on health care when it's something that should be between a patient and their doctor ONLY. government should stay out of these matters entirely.

[makeinstall]

So, the people supporting the healthcare plan are on the Dem payroll and the ones supporting the plan without getting paid are a bunch of morons.

It is so bad that the democrats have to bus in paid union and ACORN stooges to make it seem as if the plan is supported. Yet, the average American took time to go there for free and most of the average Americans don't want this BS plan. If you think this is bad wait till the healthcare bill is bullied through. Then the shit will hit the fan.

[PalinRepublic]

If you want something done well, don't rely on Union Thug labor.

A lesson is learning Obama learned the hard way.

Let this be his Waterloo!!!!

[fjccommish]

He had a pretty large goon squad in red shirts.

[patranus]

And they are trying to call the GOP brown shirts?

[TerriScofield]

Poolboy Greg Fisher (formerly of Calverton) cranky children in tow, couldn't get in. News 12 girlfriend, Mealticket Mary Mucci (with whom he resides in Cold Spring Harbor), who took her camera crew outside, filmed his entrance as if he were someone credible, & bypassed legitimate district residents who were locked out! So the PRESS gets this guy in to let his badly behaved kids run rampant. Unbelievable!

[sumners99]

, those red shirts are supposed to symbolize a brotherhood among workers , but it seems like the unions have taken it to themselves to fight for stuff like this healthcare , cap and trade even though some with in the ranks of the very union they represent and collect dues from disagree. they do not stand for what i believe . The only union i am a proud member of is the union of 50 states Called -- The United States of America

[sumners99]

let me start off by saying i do if fact know some of the redshirts in the crowd . i am a member of CWA, that main speaker may not be a person living under bishop influence but some of those redshirts are in fact people who live under his rule.

that being said did you notice ll the red shirts lined around the podium to act as protection for their kind while possible giving a closer platform from which to attack in the event someone they did not agree with got to the mike.

[rfgcc]

CWA 1105 ain't what it used to be....bullies with no more bite. God Bless America!!!

[sumners99]

those cwa guys were from 1108

Bishop has long been a Pelosi puppet, that we know. Now to try and pack his town hall with non-constituent union thugs is further proof of his degenerate socialist elite attitude towards his real constituents. He screwed us with his backroom vote on cap and trade and he's looking to screw us now with this healthscam. VOTE THIS BUM OUT IN 2010

[makeinstall]

He seems to be a party man with no principles. Just like my states Congressmen and Senators. We need leaders in office not party followers and certainly not career politicians deciding whats best for us based on their financial gain. Term limits are needed so badly. We need their service to the American people not their service to themselves and their party.

[tailwaggingdog]

I was standing at the top of the stairs with my sign basically alone. There was a group of supposedly nurses standing next to me. Loudly making comments, trying to intimidate me. The best comment to me was I quote "Take her picture so when she comes into the ER after this event, we will remember her and walk right past her!" I turned, smiled at them all and whipped out my little pocket recorder. They weren't commenting anymore. Pretty disgusting! We won't be intimidated by ignorant thugs.

[yzazz]

There were no buses at the event. An estimated 1200-1500 ppl attended yet not one PICTURE of a bus. If you can't prove your side using facts, doesn't that say something about your argument?

[ProjectShiningCity]

Like your side is doing with the Constitution... busing is construed as "bringing in people" something you can't deny...FACT! get a new rock.

[ProjectShiningCity]

Pretty daming numbers, since the vast majority of them were his constituents left outside, while the "bussed in" people were online first.

[SSGTAF]

This isn't about republicans nor democrats. This isn't about Obama or the defunct Bush. This is about the men behind the curtain trying to rally their unions and thugs to silence the free people of these united states. The curtain is rising and the public is angry.

No healthcare run by the government period. Keep your hands off of my sovereign body. Its mine not yours. That's what freedom is all about and they want to take that away!

GOD BLESS, OUR TROOPS

At least Yours, had a Town Hall.

Some of Ohio's Won't have one.

Or are telling (The People) Different Things.

DEO VINDICE!

[ProjectShiningCity]

It's amazing how many liberals we have to remove from the discussion because of curse words, intimidation, and personal attacks. What about the facts... would you like to take a shot at a FACT... It's even spelled out for you.

Keep up your liberal nonsense, and we keep deleting!

[yzazz]

Really, not a single liberal has posted a comment you couldn't delete?

Is Valley Stream in Tim Bishop's congressional district?

[yzazz]

You don't allow them in the discussion in the 1st place, you  preappprove all comments. Anyone who posts here can see that.

[ProjectShiningCity]

I wonder why??? Every one up here can see that!

If you have a bonified discussion about fact, then you will make it up here.

[ProjectShiningCity]

I never spoke there... I was covering the event in the press section... hum? I do think we are still allowed to cover the event?

[Txbertie]

With hundreds of constituents there to ask questions, it was inappropriate for some outside union representative to speak. He should have known that.

[mauriedee]

There were several buses transporting these thugs. When the meeting went on longer than previously planned, half the audience walked out - they weren't authorized to stay.

Tim Bishop made claims that do not jive with the actual bill.

[mauriedee]

Working Family Party members were present. There was a gal from Hunger something or other who wants all "undocumented workers" to be afforded all American benefits. Where is the money is going to come from?

There were several buses transporting these thugs. When the meeting went on longer than previously planned, half the audience walked out.

Tim Bishop unabashedly made claims that do not jive with the actual bill.

[AcrossThePond40]

They're coming after our internetz, too.

[yourmomsbox88]

Be not discouraged we will win this,I stood outside the school from 630-730 because i couldnt get in,with 4 friends all of us told to turn around before the parking lot by rent a cops,all of us fired up and proud to stand there,all of us ready to fight if need be,and most important all of us young and vocal we will not be shut down,we will educate the others Freedom and liberty will not be forgotten

[EncompassedRunner]

We are not afraid of Obama's thugocracy & goon proxies!

[swimkin]

We have them against the wall. The union workers are doing what they are asked. but I am not sure they are going to be AS PASSIONATE as we are. We surround THEM as Beck would say.

I went to my town hall Tuesday evening and we had buses coming in with Union people, too. We had Code Pink, Planned Parenthood, AARP, and mostly peeps from Organizing for America there. They were outnumbered.

[MOUSEnDD]

Great Shot! SC9-12!! CSA-1776!!!!

[corncat]

Ostroturfing at it's "best".

[ProjectShiningCity]

You must mean the unions blindly following the "Dear Leader" Obama.

It certainly can't be the everyday, real people there... they are true grass roots!

When they rise up, you have best find another rock to live on... we're not scared of you!

[dmignone]

I was in the parking lot for several hours and there were probably 400 people there. The ration was close to 10 to 1 people against Obamacare. Its amazing how inside it was much closer. Word was that the union thugs along with members of planned parenthood and other liberal groups all organized and came several hours before the meeting started. They must have realized that the average normal working citizen would be at work when they started filling the auditorium. This is a dark day for us all.

[888NOUNION]

BRILLIANT! THE CWA (Communist Workers of America) 'RED SHIRTS' ATTEMPTED TO GET TOUGH, BUT WERE OUTNUMBERED!

[bowmancomputers]

Verizon is not making themselves look too good here. They have the best insurance in the country. Why are they here saying they "want" the publicn option. Who is paying them off to say that? Doesn' t look too good for the company

[TalkingFrog]

Great to see people fight back against the astroturfing union thugs and goons. But everyone should realize that these thugs clearly came ready to rumble and were massing on individuals who dared to speak out against letting a union. I am sure there was was assaults outside of the hall.

We need to arrange for our own protection from these thugs. They have no compunction against assaulting women and old people, but I doubt they will stand against several men equally willing to fight. cowards

[JudyPepNY]

SILENT NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoryChiarelli]

The man does not even live in the district -- what a moron!!!

[ginaswo]

thank you so much for fighting thr good fight. Bishop is  my Mom's Critter and he will not listen to what his constituents wants like on cap and trade, he is a vapid tool of Pelosi plain and simple

[tailwaggingdog]

Great job! The tshirts, sported by some of the union thugs, said it all and I quote "Teamsters--Organizing for Power!"

For once, they are displaying what it is really all about.

We the people will not be intimidated!

Silent no more!

[MormonCINEMAdotCOM]

Thanks for posting this fabulous video. The bussed in union thugs are placed to shout down any other point of view than the party line. So much for free speech, you patsies. Our freedom is at stake. The left is on the move to put us all in chains, they already have the union thugs in place, next they will turn our youth against us when Americorps begins recruiting/drafting its enviromentally centric areligious ranks.

[robrigo80]

I live in Bishops districts and was turned away at the door. Please post more.

[27Glory]

The fools in orange shirts are clearly outnumbered. How sad! Citizens taking back their country, one district at a time. Finally!

[27Glory]

They have been exposed. The veil has been lifted! There is HOPE, just not the hope that this administration envisioned. People waking up.
