2. We are expecting TeaFarty Disrupters to show up in Sacramento too
But we have printed Mark's picture and are distributing it to some Real Union Thugs

More of those Crazy Antics by our friend / TeaParty Bigot-in-Chief Mark Williams





After Mark posted his instructions to TeaFarty members for Disrupting and Discrediting the Protest in Support of the Wisconsin Workers ...

Union Supporters posted Mark's home address on Mark's own website which he quickly took down - (Don't bother looking for it - its down down !!) with the polite message "Gee Mark if you going to be posting such inflammatory inciting statements on your website it might be a smart idea not to have your domain name listing your home address"

And it didn't even take a "Hacktivist" to find him out - Just Google

3. Bless Deval Patrick? When he has proposed taking collective bargaining rights away
from public employees in MA.

What a freaking joke.

4. That's nice and all, but Deval's paid plenty of lip service to unions
Don't get me wrong - nowhere near the sick, sadistic level of Romney, but Deval's sure done his part to delay funding of signed union contracts.

Plenty of concessions were made by MA unions, including trading off healthcare increases for reduced retro pay and lowered annual increases. We go through this song and dance every time we're up for a new contract.

I'm not putting all the blame on Deval, the Mass legislature has just as much responibility. I just hope Deval remembers his warm and fuzzy feelings for union members the next time our contract comes up.

5. they showed up with signs saying, "Unions are Un American"
jeeeeeeezzzzzzzuuuuuuuuzzzzzonaparasail, what part of the Constitution do these fuckers read? Do you think they have ever figured out the free speech or free association part?

I weep for my grandkids. They'll never know what America once was.

6. Doesn't sound like much of a clash
From the story: "About 100 Tea Party protesters appeared on Beacon Hill where they were heavily outnumbered by supporters of the Wisconsin unions."

All the union folks had to do was disconnect the Tea Baggers' Rascals, and the party was over.

7. There is a report in Denver today, Teabagger assaults protester
at Denver Solidarity Rally. Being reported on AM760 Mario Solis-Marich Show As these protest continue and the teabaggers begin seeing that they are losing the public debate we can expect them to get more violent.
