Check out the YouTube videos below, and the video at this link.  This past Saturday, tea partiers came face-to-face in Sacramento with MoveOn.org and their union pals.  MoveOn had  organized rallies in all 50 state capitols to show solidarity with the Wisconsin Unions.

With the exception of this one recorded incident, the event in Sacramento was basically uneventful.  However, I had been keeping my eye on the character with the shaved head who ended up being the rabblerouser and his thick-necked, gruff-voiced buddy in the yellow T-shirt--the one who called us wimps, which is really nothing compared to the perp who called us "fascist" female dogs.

The perp drew my attention early on because he was quite agitated and angry.  As the union crowd dispersed, they walked across the street into our territory.  I immediately went over to the police to seek their assistance when, in mid-conversation, the teamster perp turned on one of the tea party protesters.

Although ultimately cited for battery, the skinhead, I mean, ruffian, I mean, union thug, I mean, teamster, blatantly lies to the news reporter in the third link and tries to pull on our heartstrings by claiming they innocently came to exercise their free speech rights only to be met with hate.  

That's the union pot calling the tea party kettle black.

Sign of the times when the those seeking to cut government are called fascists.

The judge is going to laugh himself sick. These brilliant teamsters have not figured out that there are now cameras everywhere.

They've gotten away with it before.  Don Adams was beat up in Philadelphia at a Clinton protest in 1998 by Teamster thugs.  There were no criminal prosecutions, but there was a civil settlement much later.

Not so much.  George Orwell observed that "fascist" had come to mean anything undesirable.

Nope, but there's an idea.  Maybe I should unionize the tea parties and collectively bargain for some good bennies.  I'm sure the handful of liberals, who do pay taxes, won't mind at all.

There's another idea- taxpayer dollars spent on benefits for the productive.
