Ok DU yes, I went over at Free Republic
say what? The SEIU is a public union?

Yes head hurts.

Nifty graphic, but boys the SEIU is NOT a public union... though your mythical union thug.

Still, while we can see the cracks (Hey guv, soon you will be joining Mitch Daniels under the bus as a RINO) they are celebrating tehir victory.

I wonder if Fox has covered the fact that there are NOW cracks

Oh and here is the link... if nothing else, it is worth it for the graphic...

It is a little down... ah the IGNORANCE is STUNNING.

1. I'd rather smear my balls in fish paste and dangle them in a tank of hungry piranha than visit FR.

Happy you're willing to sacrifice for the cause. The thread in which DUers collaborate to devise an epitaph for your balls is sure to be one of the best ever!

22. TMI--Too much information, Forkboy!
But it does give those who complained about the mental image more to chew on...er, think about.

10. I do it every so often
the graphic there is just astounding...

The destruction of public unions, a nice nuke... with the SEIU banner. It is when I gotta ask... are you boys that IGNORANT?

I had a good laugh.

23. Trust me, even for the entertainnment they are not worth it
reality is that his site ain't that expensive to run. For god sakes, when I still ran my company it ran me 90\year. So with his traffic, I'd say 1000 max... yes you pay yearly you get a discount. Oh and the name... really that is easy... fifteen bucks\year from memory?

And he has not upgraded those servers in a decade, or the message board software.

So his threat was really not that strong.

Of course his minions lap it up.

Where his costs come are in the copy right violations.

:-)

Now Skinner and company actually upgrade shit and all that, so they do have actual costs higher than just an ISP.

24. The entertainment lasts only for a few minutes
The racism, bigotry and hate become overwhelming all too soon.

I agree with you--it's worth taking a BRIEF peek from time to time to see what's going on. It can be entertaining, and even hilarious--until the ugliness becomes too much to stomach...

30. Um, actually...
...it is. From SEIU's website:

"SEIU is the second largest union of public service employees with more than 1 million local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers - including 80,000 early learning and child care professionals."

Granted, the freepers are wrong about everything else dealing with unions, but a significant portion of SEIU's membership is in fact public sector workers.

32. They are behind AFSCME by quite a bit of membership
in fact, they are the second since AFSCME is the FIRST, there is NO THIRD.

They are far more concentrated in SERVICE INDUSTRIES such as nursing, janitors et al. Public Unions are a recent push and only because AFSCME started to get a little weak under the knees. The last three weeks may, or may not change the dynamics, If these guys used the AFSCME logo they'd get NO QUIBLE from me.

This is why they use SEIU



It is good to know thy enemy. No the Freeps are not telling you all either.

33. They would mess their pants if the NFL players walked the line with the other unions.
