But don’t give up on the Montreal trip. That’s a good one. And it’s NOT 20 hours. You get on about 8am at Penn and off at 7pm there. Was FAR FAR better and a fantastic date weekend when the trip was overnight, but, eh. What can you do?
My godson was at Eton & Oxford w/ a lot of those conservatives – notably Osborne. They were very straight & Osborne’s family, while titled, work hard – his mother & father started Osborne & Little wall coverings & they still work long hours at it every day. Kids were not brought up to be fatuous jerks.
I’m not anxious to paint them as racists- they sure seem to be willing to do that themselves. And Considering how many times tea baggers have been caught on videotape indulging in racism, antisemitism and venality, I hardly think one incident in reaction defines “liberals” nearly so much as the sum total of actions by tea baggers defines them.
FYI- Most Union rank and file members I know- despite being in the union, are conservative and vote Republican. Being a Union member does not automatically make you a Democrat.
That said, I guess your reaction is to condone what they did, sending those faxes, spitting on Black elected representatives and using the n-word and calling Frank a Fa***t? How about just accept that this is what they did and there is no excuse for it? I certainly don’t think there is any excuse for people beating each other up and if union workers beat that man up, they should go to jail.
can’t get on youtube from here
but just youtube; seiu beating and you’ll get it.
my point here is this;
you cannot attempt to shut down dissent with calls of racism,
by all means single out and identify the idiots who would attempt to make their case by the most base of ideas and of course deal with illegal activity to the full extent of the law,
but, let’s not get to a point where an entire group of Americans is wiped off the map of ideas because of the stupidity of a few.
did you see the post I put up about the individuals at the polling site in Philadelphia in 2008, they happened to threaten and verbally abuse a former member of the Kennedy administration who marched in Selma. Why? because of his skin color.
We had a work conference in Saratoga Springs, it was fun. Go to the Horse Racing Hall of Fame and ride the horse simulator. Then ask them why Lester Piggott is not in the hall of fame.

denton,
there’s a link for you.
I prefer Gettysburg over Williamburg.

racists generally are stupid. Gotta link?
denton,
in fact they had SEIU t-shirts on!
watch the video.
those racists sure are stupid.
“white liberal union members were beating the black tea party protestor? ”
Ain’t seen too many liberal white union members, Legion. How do you know they were liberals? Did it say so on their shirts?
Local 42
Liberal Iron Workers Union of America
We beat up Black Teaparty Protesters
