White House "Punches Back" With Union Thugs

The White House wanted supporters of health care reform to start attending this summer's town-hall meetings. The Service Employees International Union took up the challenge and attended meetings. in St. Louis and Tampa. Moonbattery has a scary perspective on this development. There was violence involving union thugs at both locations, the worst assault occurring in St. Louis.

Here is raw video from that assault which resulted in six arrests, including three SEIU thugs:



Read the details here and here, taken from a Powerline entry. As the last link states, the intimidation and violence coming from these thugs is the Chicago way. The Chicago way has now become the American way under the leadership of Barack Obama. It is going to be interesting between now and September when Congress reconvenes.

The rebellion has begun. Union intimidation and violence against those opposing the Obama administration will backfire mightily. The victims will be Democrats in the House who represent center-left districts. I expect many of them will be packing their bags after the 2010 elections.
