#1 We've seen this before. Remember the proper name is the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party.

#2 Dear SEIU,

Feel free to boycott my business.

In turn, I will boycott paying taxes to pay your pensions.

Love,

Steve

#3 Whee from the Denver Airport. Anyway, Hotair says the Judge issued a third restraining order. I think the Wis. Legislature should impeach her and then try her for treason against the state for her blatant attempt at tyranny.

#7 Unfortunately, RICO is pretty specific.

Courts have long found that boycotts are quite legal. However, that being said, I doubt it will work as a tactic, except for a very few businesses whose clientele are either very union, or who already have union sympathies.

More than anything else, their best success would be in shutting up businesses that oppose them--not actually boycotting them, just cowing them so they won't speak out.

#8 Counter boycott. Don't do biz with any firm that puts up their sign!

#9 "Don't do biz with any firm that puts up their sign"

I read an even better suggestion on another blog along that line, WM.

Go into, say, a grocery store that does have the sign, fill up a cart, take it to the checkout, and then - before checking out - ask about the sign. Then tell them you can't do business with people who support such intimidators and you're taking your business elsewhere, and telling all your friends to do the same. Then walk out, leaving the cart full of merchandise you would have purchased had they not had the sign.

I'm sure hilarity would ensue. (At least, I'd be laughing my ass off as soon as I was out of sight. And I wouldn't have parked where someone in the store could see my license number - just in case.)
