The title really not cool.

They should just read "Fucking anti union scumbags blames the union for every fucking things, OMG, WATCH!"

People in this country are so gullable. They've been convinced they shouldn't get anything in return for their tax money. No healthcare, worsening schools, no recourse against big business or illegal forclosures.

I wish this guy would call into all conservative talk radio shows and embarrass them

The right-wing kid in the suit is the perfect manifestation of the Millennial GOP: just straight up, soft-palmed, awkward dweeby neo-fascist. They don't hide it behind "real Americanness" or "folkskyness" anymore.

A notable event in Labor history has it's 100 year anniversary on 3/25/2011. The event was the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire that killed 129 women & 17 men. This April it will have been a year since the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion that killed 30 men, & BP that killed 11 men & still has an ongoing impact. This reminds us that safety and conditions are an ongoing battle for the Labor Movement. Why can we save 33 Chilean miners 2,336 ft in the ground, but our miners die the same year?
