Video: Union thug protestors in Michigan show their collective HATE

This is out of control. There is no excuse for this type of violence. This IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, no doubt about it. Are you ashamed?

Will President Obama speak out against this violence? Hell no. He’s the one that went to Michigan yesterday and got the union members whipped up after he dropped in these few paragraphs into a speech at Detroit Diesel.

And by the way, what we shouldn’t do — I just got to say this — what we shouldn’t be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and working conditions.  (Applause.)  We shouldn’t be doing that.  (Applause.)  These so-called “right to work” laws, they don’t have to do with economics; they have everything to do with politics.  (Applause.) What they’re really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money.  (Applause.)

You only have to look to Michigan — where workers were instrumental in reviving the auto industry — to see how unions have helped build not just a stronger middle class but a stronger America.  (Applause.)  So folks from our state’s capital, all the way to the nation’s capital, they should be focused on the same thing.  They should be working to make sure companies like this manufacturer is able to make more great products.  That’s what they should be focused on.  (Applause.)  We don’t want a race to the bottom.  We want a race to the top.  (Applause.)

America is not going to compete based on low-skill, low-wage, no workers’ rights.  That’s not our competitive advantage. There’s always going to be some other country that can treat its workers even worse.  Right?

AUDIENCE:  Right!

Obama says we shouldn’t be taking away your bargaining rights. So the crowd has the OK to get violent with those who don’t agree with them. They still lost. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed the right-to-work legislation. It’s the law of the state.

Michelle Malkin has a wrap-up including violent video from earlier this afternoon. Language warning, and here is where Steven Crowder gets physically assaulted. These men should be ashamed of themselves. They lost the vote, and they resort to bully tactics and violence. Dana Loesch is trying to identify the union thug who assaulted Crowder.

    Two questions:
    1.- Where are the cops?
    2.- Are the cops unionized?

    Great questions, I saw quite a lot of footage of this and there wasn’t a policeman in sight. If I was a betting woman, I would say they are unionized.

    The fiscal cliff is just around the corner and the newly re-elected President is still campaigning or inciting riots. Whatever.

    ‘And by the way, what we shouldn?t do ? I just got to say this ? what we shouldn?t be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and working conditions.’

    Fiscal cliff?? What’s that?? Fule my 747 – we’re going to rev up some Union boyz!? Aside from the obvious Leftist hoo-rah by Barry himself, what’s with his chameleon redneck speak?? I would love to have a peek at those grades from HIGH school, Occidental, Columbia & Haaaavard.? Total absorbtion must have long term effects.

    “where workers were instrumental in reviving the auto industry” If this is true then why did the Government have to bail them out? The union are the ones that killed the auto industry just like the paper companies in Maine.

    If my late father,brother, and boyfriend were all alive and had seen what took place in that video, they would shake their collective heads in pure disgust.

      Before I forget, they were when they were alive in unions.

      Was “collective” a pun, Anne?? 😉

    Doing what they do best: thuggery and intimidation.? Driving companies into bankruptcy.? Buying elections for Democrats.? Making work and keeping jobs for the incompetent.
    ?
    I can’t imagine why union membership is at a low point…

    There was a time when unions were useful. That time has passed. Hopefully, unions will be only a footnote in history. In the best sense of the word, unions are an anachronism.
    Unions are all about the money and staying in power. That explains the symbiotic — parasitic — relationship of Obama with the unions. They give him money, he gives them protection. The power and thuggery, dominance and violence,? remains rooted in the unions and in the Democrat Party.?
    There’s nothing to be proud of there.

      The reality is that, it is the union leadership that have gone extreme. The rank-and-file members want nothing to do with the leadership, but are AFRAID that the leadership will turn against them as turncoats.
