Pregnant Staffer Harassed by Tea Partiers

Olivia Zink, a pregnant staffer, was harassed by members of the so-called "Tea Party" at a local demonstration. 9 months pregnant, Olivia was sitting down and holding a sign demonstrating her support for Senator Shaheen's efforts to move health care reform, when several members of the fringe group that refer to themselves as the "New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition" started harassing her to "stand up for what you believe in."

After being confronted and told to stop harassing Olivia, the tea party members then got into a physical confrontation with another staffer from SEIU. Later on they blogged about it, saying, quote, "Oh well, got to have a little fun at these things."

@wulfmanUNCP - No, I was just setting the record straight and rolling my eyes at people who try to revise recent history.

@authenticpoppy Wow, must have struck a nerve with you to incite name calling. You forgot your drugs this morning.

@wulfmanUNCP This is from 2009, idiot. They called themselves Teabaggers during the health care debates. They even wore teabags stapled to their hats and shirts. When someone pointed out what tea bagging meant to the rest of the world, they changed it to Tea Party. Now they get all upset when people call them by their original name.

SevenZulu:

Women in the 9th month of pregnancy retain water. There are medically advantageous reasons for this water retention, and I'm not going to list them for you here. The point is, this water retention also causes things like WEDDING RINGS to become too tight to wear comfortably. Then of course there's the fact that she's a STAFFER. That means she WORKS and could hardly be described as a parasite.

Whenever the "teabaggers" get into a physical confrontation with union thugs they post the video online. You obvously didn't in this case. Is there something you are trying to hide?
