Brute Squads Target Republicans
JOHN FUND ON THE TRAIL  Getting Physical: Union thugs target Republicans. We may be about to experience an election unlike any we've seen in a while. The Florida recount in 2000 raised passions and blood pressure and featured some demonstrations on both sides, but there was no violence. This year, lots of groups are jostling with each other to monitor the elections in battleground states. For its part, the AFL-CIO has promised to dispatch thousands of election monitors to battleground states to watch for any hint of trouble at polling places. From the initial reports, they may be the ones for have to be watched as potential troublemakers. Solution : Some of the elderly poll workers are bound to have a substantial grandson (football player or wrestler) who, being physically as intimidating as any union manure, may help keep the discourse to monitoring... Last week, in Orlando, Fla., approximately 60 union The new Democratic Party. Taking its cues from the Mexican PRI. According to an Orlando Police Department report, Rhyan Metzler, a field director for the Republican Party, was at the headquarters about 1 p.m. last Tuesday when 60 protestors barged in. Van Church, a 53-year old protestor a little old isn't he?, forced the door open and caused Mr. Metzler's arm to be caught in it. His left wrist was fractured in the altercation. Police say Mr. Church will be charged with two counts of battery. Suggesting stuffing something into a wooden crate, and shipping him to Fallujah is not practical. But Mr. Church is unrepentant. "If his wrist was fractured, it's a result of his own actions in jerking the door the way he did," he told the Orlando Sentinel. "He jerked the door out of my hand and cut it in the process." But since it is Mr. Church who is being charged, the police apparently didn't think Mr. Metzler did anything wrong. Fancy that! Orlando's fracas was mirrored in Miami, where police reported that more than 100 union protestors stormed the Bush-Cheney office and shoved volunteers aside. No one was charged because most of the protestors left before the police arrived. In Tampa, about 35 protestors filled the local GOP office and intimidated the elderly volunteers working there. See my above comment about a wrestling grandson The AFL-CIO took credit on its Web site for similar demonstrations--apparently all coordinated--in Independence, Mo., Kansas City, Mo., Dearborn, Mich., St. Paul, Minn., and West Allis, Wis. In what could be a related incident, the Bush-Cheney office in Knoxville, Tenn., had its plate-glass windows shattered by gunfire on Tuesday morning before volunteers showed up for work. Another Republican office, in Seattle, was broken into and had computer files stolen. Stolen computers? What the GOP should do is have a "bait" computer out in the open, with a bunch of trojan horse viruses in it, then when the Dems steal it, they get a nasty surprise when they put the stolen files (which are actually outdated, but made to look new) on thier own equipment. Esmerelda Aguilar, an AFL-CIO spokesman, says Republicans are "trying to politicize [the Orlando incident] and exaggerate the event." She maintains that all of the demonstrations "were peaceful protests" designed to call attention to new Bush administration regulations on overtime pay. Hmm - Broken wrist in a "peaceful" demonstration. Union thugs haven't changed much... it goes on...Read it all... Posted by: BigEd 2004-10-11 |
