West Virginia coal miners protest NRA manipulation

[scottntexas]

HEY UMWA!!!!! What part of carbon tax do you not understand, what part of "global warming" do you not understand? Obama intends to shut down the mines, run them out of business..... Why can't you get that into your damned heads?

Obama is the biggest enemy of every coal miner in this country! But he sure does love unions.... you can still be a union member while you sit unemployed. What good will that be? Unions have lost their way, they no longer represent workers...

They say guns kill people, well abortions kill alot more people, young people, so get rid of the abortions, and MAYBE we will reconsider gun laws...(we wont ;D)

[LizzyxDarcy]

Those two men are nothing but white trash who should be considered traitors to their men and their country.

[wvhvac1]

So long UMWA. Your time has come and gone. People are fed up with your socialism and progressive ways. Turn your back on the constitution and especially the 2A and there will be a backlash. Can you feel it yet. Glenn Beck and the tea party movement is well on it's way to finishing you off. God bless Massey!

@wvhvac1

this isnt about the 2nd amendment, which i SUPPORT. This is about employees being forced, by their employer, to become political activists against their will.

These employees may or may not support Obama, thats not the issue here. Its absolutely out of line for an employer to FORCE his employees into the political arena, even worse that he mandates what their opinions need to be.

[Mrblueyes68]

I'm in the UMWA & they are stupid for endorsing the same man that said he would bankrupt the coal mining industry. The union is no longer for the man. It's all about politics. Way to go UMWA march into hell with the very man that will kill us off. It's now not only workers against the company, but the union as well. As bad as it is I'd rather be working for a union mine than a non-union mine.

[Venue0309]

@Mrblueyes68 I think the coal miners shouldnt be worried if the mines go bankrupt because they cant find new jobs in clean energy. I would prefer our country upgraded to the 21th century and had these miners produce energy that is safe and clean.

[mujinnokoya]

Ha. These coal miners supported Obama and now they got trapped in a mine. Good riddance to socialist trash.

[hopeascending17]

Can you be any more damn ignorant?

[hopeascending17]

mujinnokoya, What right do you have to call them "socialist trash?"

Because they saw and believed something differently than you do?

So if anything bad happens to coal miners who support Obama,

they deserve it???

-That's basically what your ignorant comment stated...

[Mrblueyes68]

@mujinnokoya Actually the coal miners that were killed in the Upper Big Branch mine worked for the non union mine company called Massey Energy. Plus thats rather uncooth of you to say about anyone.

[1canyonguy]

@mujinnokoya The socialist tag was attached by Twa baggers

The entire history of coal mining shows that the rich dont give a dam about miners lives ,pay working conditions etc Oh wow sounds like wars for oil dont it?

[opsdarklord]

...other countries***

[opsdarklord]

unions were never meant to be permanent

unions are the reason that it is so much cheaper to import goods for other companies and the very reason why people arent buying american products when they can get the same product for 20%+ less

when will america learn....

[donttrustsnowmen]

In order to help preserve the mountains,and allow coal mining companies to keep making money,lets allow coal miners to grow HEMP on the mountain tops,they will still make great money and provide ppl with a product that doesnt harm the enviorment..

[danielwvu]

Hemp? Are you for real...Im all for it but growing anything in the Agriculture requires upkeep and maintenance, which west virginans lack!FACT

Just look @ how they treat their trailors!FACT

[WVliberty]

thats a crock of shit, theres alott of hard working farmers in this state, most of the white trailer trash in the area i live in are from baltimore and other shitty areas of maryland so you dont know what your talking about, fact outstaters that come here and think they are better than us have thier head stuck up thierr ass from thier smugness

[dadawada26]

@danielwvu It's trailer not trailor

[WVliberty]

i thought about that the other day looking at all the windmills on the Allegheney, a hundred acres of hemp i think would make more energy than 1 wind turbine

[WVcoalguy]

Got anything good to say about the Obamination now? Let's face it, Obama is an ass and he is going to cost WV dearly.

[cboobtube]

watch youtubes:

Then watch

[Fockersnextdoor]

West Virginians are so use to having the Govt. Boot on thier throat that they would trade gun rights and freedoms away for a paycheck.Why would the Unions not support gun rights for the people? Obama hates coal so he hates coal workers. do the math.

[Snipedanwo]

MTR is not mining,

It's demo squads, and clean up crews!

That rape our mother !

Quit "mining" and build a

solar panel/ wind generator factory.

probably pay alot more people alot more money.

WV is full of Tap Water drinking ,

NWO globalist slaves.

Turn the lights off !

[sermonfire]

wow, what a con artist obama is.

[SiKWiDiT06]

Are you serious? Wow, I'm a coal miner in Southwest VA and you guys are insane. Obama wants to get rid of the coal mines and you guys are supporting him? WTF!?!? When we all lose our jobs you can only thank yourselves!

[bmaz84]

IDIOTS ALL OF YOU!! When I heard that the UMWA endorsed Obama I about fainted. My husband is a coal miner and he and all of you will lose your jobs due to this maniac. If you think Bush was bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet. If Obama wins, 4 years from now you will be begging for a job at McDonalds.

[loveualatte]

God bless all of you and your families. Many of us are working hard to make sure people understand the effects of this action that obama/biden plan to take against the coal industry. MILLIONS of people out of work! I dont understand why people cant see whats right in front of their eyes.

[jackbelias]

"When I heard that the UMWA endorsed Obama I about fainted"

I suspect the union officials rather than the workers were at fault. They declared a day off to make sure workers wouldnt speak to an org that didnt support Obama.

The union reps will get golden parachutes, but the workers will get poverty with no hope of ever finding another job in their communities. It amazes me that unions reserve the right to take ones pay, back your enemy, then remove you from contacting a more friendly org.

[leftwingwacko]

Obama will do wonders for the Coal Miners. Unemployment coming soon brothers. WAKE UP!!!!Obama and Biden hate everything about Coal. I can't beleave you support that douchebag. Dumbocrats...

[jaegersapper]

All you have to do is about 15 minutes of research online to find Braaaaack the gun grabber's real record. The UMWA is the one manipulating its members, the NRA tells it like it is.

you are missing the point
