Kenneth Gladney, a black critic of Obama’s health-care plan, was beaten, kicked, and called racist names by members of the SEIU, a corrupt and powerful left-wing union that backs Obama’s plan, leaving him wheelchair-bound and too weak to speak. This hate crime took place at a St. Louis "town hall" meeting. SEIU members are bused in to town hall meetings called by liberal lawmakers in order to create the illusion of grassroots support, and intimidate would-be critics.
To curry favor with the corrupt SEIU, the Obama Administration has betrayed union workers by gutting federal regulations that uncover corruption by union leaders and their misuse of union members’ dues. The SEIU spent over $60 million to elect Obama.
Although the federal deficit has exploded due to massive new government spending, the Obama Administration wants to pile on even more federal spending, including a health-care “reform” proposal predicted to cost at least $1,000,000,000,000 ($1 trillion). In reality, "ObamaCare" will likely cost far more than predicted, the way past government health-care expansions always have.
One of Obama’s own advisers says the Obama Administration's health-care plan will harm people with insurance while raising their taxes. ObamaCare will take away 5 important freedoms, a CNN commentary notes. It will also destroy many affordable health-care plans while breaking Obama’s campaign promises.
ObamaCare also contains subsidies for left-wing community organizers, and preferences for illegal aliens, who are exempt from its taxes and penalties, but may be able to access its benefits due to lack of meaningful eligibility verification safeguards.
The Obama Administration has a glaring double standard when it comes to hate crimes. It has turned a blind eye to hate-crimes committed by liberals, such as racist voter intimidation in Philadelphia by black panthers who included a Democratic official and Obama poll-watcher. Yet it has advocated reprosecuting in federal court other people found innocent of hate crimes in state court, taking advantage of a loophole in constitutional protections against double jeopardy.

As a "fair share" SEIU member - meaning I don't belong but I'm forced to pay nearly 3% of my salary - I also find the union to be a big sham.
If the country is looking for fairness - it would be necessary to eliminate Medicare. Since when is it fair or democratic to provide health coverage to anyone over the age of 65 no matter their income level? Ditto on Medicaid - there are already too many entitlements... suggesting that health care reform is socialism is like saying Medicare is an earned annuity. You can't expect working people to pay for the health care benefits of the over 65 crowd (with no income tests) and then force them to purchase private insurance for their own families. The over 65 crowd receive an entitlement they neither earned nor deserve... certainly not at the expense of those who must go without. We already have one ponzi scheme with Social Security - enough is enough folks, end the entitlements.
DF, I agree. If you don't work, you can't pay for health care, too bad. No health care, you die. Simple. Other countries believe health care is a birthright, like our forefathers thought inalienable rights were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Birthrights are inalienable rights. They should not be free. F..k those who don't pay. --mo
DC Scotus, It is refreshing to see you take hate crime to be as odious as it is taken in every advanced nation. Hate crime laws are an effective tool in the arsenal of resources to fight bigotry. It's refreshing to see you are such a big supporter of the efficacy of hate crime statutes to stem the cascade of bigots' violence.

Can you tell me please where in the U.S. Constitution it mentions hate crimes and bigotry? This is feel good stuff..can't take the heat?
This has saddened me a great deal. I agree that some of these events are staged, but not all are. I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio shows and they urge people to be disruptive at these meeting and cause a ruckus. Being disruptive will not solve anything, instead it will create more hatred towards our Government officials and perpetuate the animosity between the Republican and Democratic parties. These unruly behavior will also intensify the threat of the President being assassinated. We all love our country, but what Repoublicans fail to understand time and time again, is that using violent protest, and spewing hatred will not amount to anything but people being thrown out of these meetings, and damaging our country. The media is playing their part in reporting these incidents, which might look like American citizens are being thrown out just because they have an opinion, but that's not the case, it's the manner that they conduct themselves in are getting them tossed out the
Please - no more illusions: we have a communist-racist government with clearly established policies. 1) nationalize everything - automobile industry (GM, Chrysler), financial institutions (Fannie, Freddie, banks), hospitals-doctors-nurses-insurance companies (health care "reform"), oil&gas&coal industries, electric utilities (cap-and trade, globaloney warming); 2) attack troups akin to Lenin's soviets ( ACORN, SEIU, Black Panthers); 3) establish "enemy lists" like was done by KGB, UDB, Stasi. Etc.
Smash the government of Barack Hushpuppy OhBummer, "The Mistake of '08!" Smash Nazi Pelosi! Smash the Democrat party, it is neither more nor less than "organized crime." And the next time you see Nazi swastikas spray-painted in a public protest venue or a politically-sensitive venue --- you'll know that it is the old Hitler trick --- performed by Democrats --- and blamed on Republicans and libertarians. Tear the roof off of this sucker. If OhBummer has hijacked your plane and you can't stop him, then make sure that the fkg plane crashes before it gets where he wants it to go.
great article!
It would have been cheaper to give the 40 acres and a mule. Still would.

Does Ashley Gladney have the mirror image "B" scratched on the left or right cheek?
There's a video showing 2 union thugs who attempted to start a fight with 4 people at the New Hampshire town hall meeting. One of whom was that guy who open carried the hand gun we've all heard so much about.
Search youtube for "Gun carrying American at Obama event (and 3 others) get assaulted by paid, union thugs"
it's not hate crime. just plain old thuggery. while BO denounces tv for running clips of the meetings getting out of hand, he has his thugs-for-hire intimidate the opposition.
don't give in, keep questioning the politicians who are forcing this debacle down our throats. this isn't about making the health care system work, it is about gaining control of our lives. BO knows it, Rahm knows it, Pelosi knows it, Reid knows it. The problem is,,,,others are beginning to realize it also.
Obama promised to not raise taxes of any kind on individuals who make less than $200k, but he raised cigarette taxes by 62 cents a pack. There are 43 million smokers in the US and the vast majority of them make less than $200k. Whether Obama signs healthcare legislation or not, I'm certain he will raise taxes again, and it won’t be just the smokers he’ll target. Prepare yourselves for higher taxes on just about everything. The man is a liar and a fraud. He's a disgrace to our country and I can hardly wait to see him leave office. Don't believe a word he says, and the same is true for the Democratic leaders in Congress.
