Michelle Malkin on SEIU obama Thugs Attacking Citizens in St. Louis

And they've been dispatched to more town halls to shout down Americans.

Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer decided to double down on some pretty distasteful messaging today, calling some of the opposition to health care reform, "un-American" in a USA Today op-ed. Specifically, this is what the Speaker finds so unpatriotic:


These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.


Town halls have indeed been rowdy (although instances of documented aggression have all gone one way: Obamacare supporter to protester), and sometimes not ideal for discussion of the ins and outs of health care reform. But Democrats and liberals have largely used one memo from a libertarian activist in Connecticut to claim a national, nefarious campaign of conservative disruption by mischaracterizing the memo and fibbing about its provenance and distribution.

On the other hand, I have a memo from SEIU Local 2001 (the same Conn. district where the original MacGuffie memo originated), which cannot be misunderstood. It was issued this week in preparation for Rep. Jim Himes' town hall in Stamford, Conn.

It's still up, but I did a screen shot, in case it disappears. Here's the announcement:


Action: Opponents of reform are organizing counter-demonstrators to speak at this and several congressional town halls on the issue to defend the status quo. It is critical that our members with real, personal stories about the need for access to quality, affordable care come out in strong numbers to drown out their voices.


Perhaps Pelosi should check with her allies about their tactics before labeling them "un-American" in the future.

The SEIU has taken center-stage in the Left's push-back on health care reform. They co-sponsored a rally in Tampa that featured fisticuffs. SEIU also had a large presence at a St. Louis rally where at last three of the group's volunteers were arrested in connection with an assault on Kenneth Gladney, who was selling flags and buttons outside the venue. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius held a conference call with SEIU members last week, in which she called them "brothers and sisters," and SEIU representatives compared Obama critics at town halls to "terrorists."

Obama wants a race war and he's putting his army together... he's counting on SEIU members still posessing their 2nd Amendment rights since 85% of his Black Panther buddies lost theirs with their first felony at age 14.

"THE DANGER TO AMERICA IS NOT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA BUT A CITIZENRY CAPABLE OF ENTRUSTING A MAN LIKE HIM WITH THE PRESIDENCY".

IT WILL BE EASIER TO LIMIT AND UNDO THE FOLLIES OF AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY THAN TO RESTORE THE NECESSARY COMMON SENSE AND GOOD JUDGMENT TO A DEPRAVED AND IGNORANT ELECTORATE WILLING TO HAVE SUCH A MAN FOR THEIR PRESIDENT.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. I believe what is said here is the truth. Beck has been saying this sort of stuff for years. I subscribe to GBTV. Days of rage is supposed to start on the 17th of Sept.

Man people from the south are annoying as hell

@PikesPeakOcean I asked the same from you.

[blynglass]

Pathetic.

[PikesPeakOcean]

@ARepublicanVictory Can't you do better than that? I have heard better insults from more important people than yourself

[ARepublicanVictory]

@PikesPeakOcean My comments prove that you are the idiot. If that is the best you can do, well I believe you are the dumbest idiot of them all. Obama is a corporate pawn. That is why he bailed out Wall Street.

[PikesPeakOcean]

@ARepublicanVictory and your comment proves that the right are corporate idiots....so what's your point?

[ARepublicanVictory]

@PikesPeakOcean It proves a lot. It proves that the Left are nothing more than filthy Bolsheviks.
