| Union Goons Ransack Bush/Cheney Headquarters In Orlando |
| 2004-10-05 |
| A group of protestors stormed and then ransacked a Bush-Cheney headquarters building in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, according to Local 6 News. Local 6 News reported that several people from the group of 100 Orlando protestors face possible assault charges after the group forced their way inside the Republican headquarters office. While in the building, some of the protestors drew horns and a mustache on a poster of President George W. Bush and poured piles of letters in the office, according to the report. "We told them to leave, they broke the law," Republican headquarters volunteer Mike Broom said. Two protestors received minor injuries when the crowd stormed the building, including a Republican volunteer. One of the protestors said she wanted to send a message. "We want to send a clear message to Bush, we want him to take his hands off our overtime pay," protestor Esmeralda Heuilar said. Local 6 News learned that most of the protestors were from the AFL-CIO and were taking part in one of 20 other coordinated protests around the country. A spokesperson with the AFL-CIO told Local 6 News that the Orlando protest did not go as planned. A protest similar to Orlando's demonstration was held at a Bush-Cheney office in Miami at the same approximate time, Local 6 News reported. |

| #14 Keep cool, boys. Publicize-- publicize and shame. Leave the bully-boy stuff to the other side. If handled and publicized properly, these incidents could be the nail in Kerry's coffin. |

| #13 Cyber Sarge, can you enlighten me on how the overtime pay change will affect union workers. These are all AFL-CIO people who get paid according to what they negotiate with the companies that they work for. The overtime pay change may or may not have an effect on a salaried position, like mine, but why would hourly folks be storming the Bastille? - Frankly, anytime my compensation is impacted I weigh all my options and adjust accordingly. I don't really need or appreciate the actions of thses folks. |

| #12 Funny that they call Republicans Nazi, but they use Nazi tactics. This, the shooting, and the buring lawn have me kind of nervous about this election. I am taking Wed-Fri after the off and watch the goings on. Bet you that at least one LLL tries to pull something stupid. I work with a bunch of them and they are less than confident of a Kerry victory. Also the tone of the banter has taken a darker hue since Kerry sunk in the polls. |

| #11 The Democrat Brownshirts make a good case for compulsory concealed carry. They wouldn't be so bold if their intended victims could put one between their beady eyes. |

| #9 Brownshirts. They use Nazi tactics to call the conservatives nazis. Breaking and entering, shootings, burned grass. All with the intent to deny people their right of free speech. Looks like they graduated from ripping Bush/Cheney posters from 3 year old girls.... And yes, I think is was an intentional act by the AFL-CIO and the DNC. Once might be an accident, twice a coicidence(sp?), but thrice is intentional. |

| #8 Corrupt organization. Well, that's exactly what the Democratic Party is-- to the core. The party is a mob of ignorant bozos and goons, led by cynical, manipulative, corrupt demagogues, and backed up by a corrupt, parasitic ideology promulgated by effete academics and funded by fat cats. |

| #1 Jeez... the election is still a month away; how many more times are we going to be treated to the sight of Democratic thugs trashing Republican campaign headquarters? Are people going to get killed before this is over? I'm fed up with Democrats. I'm fed up with their hatred. I'm fed up with their ignorance, their bigotry, their stupidity and their malice. And I'm starting to feel for them what they're apparently so eager to demonstrate they feel for me. |
