Thug Life - Obama Sends In The Goons

Isn't it rich?

White House & DNC Release Labor Goons On Obamacare Town Halls

WARNING: Please be smart, careful and bring cameras when attending Obamacare town halls (swastikas optional)... But, don't let any thugs keep you away.

The Obama website is asking supporters to attend Obamacare town halls during the August recess to counter the massive wave of opposition to government takeover of the health care industry:

Organizing for America, “a project of the Democratic National Committee,” has evensent a flyer by e-mail to its campaign list that the DNC wants people to hold as they outshout anyone else in the room.

But that's not all...
The DNC has also recruited labor goons to police the town halls.
The Huffington Post reported, via LG Links:

The nation's largest federation of labor organizations has promised to directly engage with boisterous conservative protesters at Democratic town halls during the August recess.

In a memo sent out on Thursday, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney outlined the blueprint for how the union conglomerate would step up recess activities on health care reform and other topics pertinent to the labor community. The document makes clear that Obama allies view the town hall forums as ground zero of the health care debate. It also uses the specter of the infamous 2000 recount "Brooks Brothers" protest to rally its members to the administration's side.

"The principal battleground in the campaign will be town hall meetings and other gatherings with members of Congress in their home districts," reads the memo. "We want your help to organize major union participation to counter the right-wing "Tea-Party Patriots" who will try to disrupt those meetings, as they've been trying to do to meetings for the last month. ...

(Remember the hooligans - many of them Republican Congressional staff - who harassed Florida vote counters in 2000? We can't let that happen again!)."

A showdown between unions and grassroots conservative organizations could make for an August full of fireworks, with even more dysfunctional town hall meetings. The AFL-CIO is planning to target 50 "high priority districts," in addition to organizing telephone town hall gatherings.

If they're going to pull THIS crap, I strongly recommend documenting (with video, as much as possible) all of the occurrences you can, and then going viral with it.
Agreed.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin- Thug life: Enter the unions

Oh this is just bad. this will not end well, but somewhere, somehow, sooner or later, end in violence and someone is going to get hurt.

Then Rahmadan and his boss will have a dandy crisis not to let go to waste.

Nazi, Socialist, Communist, Fascistic, Democrat, Republican, Independent, libertarian. Understand this. WE DON'T CARE!!! Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans that are willing to do right by us, and our United States Constitution is all that matters to us now.
We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming.
We The People are coming. GET A GRIP!!
GRIP = Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians

MR,
I had the same thought.

The level of volatility is rising.

Yep.

Like WC said earlier today. His own Kent State. But the aftermath handled very differently. And instead of National Guardsman it will be Union Mmebers.
