Caught on Camera: Union Goon Hits, Shoves and Harasses GOP Supporter at Rally

You can see him using his left hand to knock a camera out of one of the volunteers hands at 8 seconds and again at 12 seconds. He returns later and shoves or hits the cameraman several more times.

Press Charges!!!

Davecat84   July 17th, 2010 - 7:14 pm

Isn't he in congress?

Dave_in_Oregon   July 17th, 2010 - 7:15 pm

If he does have any charges filed against him.

"HE HE COMES TO SAVE THE DAY…"
"ERIC HOLDER IS ON HIS WAY! "

You can't file charges against any Obama supporters….DON'T YOU GET IT YET?

Dave is right, you can't touch the protected class. Union Bully's paid for their protection fair and square.

if i were that camera man i might have put the camera down and gone G20 on him.

OK here is a learning moment for all of you boys and girls
This is a video of a soon to be endangered specias called a liberal Neanderthal.

Can you say Neanderthal boys and girls?

Yes Johnny, these creatures are allowed to vote… but we are going to have to fix that soon too with tests to prove that only Humans and real Americans are allowed to vote in OUR elections.

if they come to a conservative event looking for trouble, they should find it quickly.

Communist thugs, all Unions. They are afraid of losing there over the top benefits. The American labor unions have lost there way. At one time in history they served a valid purpose. But now all they stand for is communism. They destroy anything they touch. Look at the Government run schools. The education unions are ruining our kids future teaching crap instead of good old academics. I would be you this jerk is a paid thug from the union.

Thinker822   July 17th, 2010 - 12:41 pm

Another instance of GOON liberal thugocrasy in action. NOVEMBER is coming…lets steal the thunder from these emboldened creeps.

Also, to the guys in the video..if this was a public event or rally, SUE them for every cent you can.

joymc   July 17th, 2010 - 7:44 pm

File charges. Prosecute. Make this idiot sorry. This guy needs to go to jail. He committed a crime on camera in front of several witnesses.

Oh, I thought that was only if the offending party was black. Now it is ANY of Barry's supporters who have permission to break the law. Come On November.

"This is exactly why unions are crap". They treat their members the same way if they disagree with union management. I would really like to one of these morons get a mouthfull of fist!

Lyes   July 17th, 2010 - 7:59 pm

Unless I'm missing something the video opens with a couple of guys standing there surrounded by thugs holding signs up 2 inches from their face. I'd certainly start filming the guy after he starts in with violence. The camera man would be remiss not to.

Diptera   July 17th, 2010 - 12:59 pm

What a load of crap – when are these people going to learn how to use a video camera and start doing covert video from across the street if necessary to get the whole picture or at least out of the middle of the pushing and shoving match – you can't see anything at all if the video camera is knocked out of the hands. Is that the only camera they can afford?

Are all the opposition people midgets – where do they get these midgets with cameras that end up looking up the noses of union thugs? Don't they have any full sized men the union thugs can't push around so easily? What do you think a judge would say about this video – most likely that it is useless and shows nothing he can act on.

These people need to wise up or stay at home or get used to being beaten down by union thugs and getting useless video that helps no one.

Judgedavey   July 17th, 2010 - 1:05 pm

Dave_in_Oregon   July 17th, 2010 - 8:09 pm

If you have been paying attention to the way that videos become available… there will be videos coming out in the next few days of exactly what you are complaining about.
People will see what the have on their cameras and find a way to get it to http://www.Breitbart.tv or some other Conservative Real American form of media.

BHO_UMM_UMM_UMM   July 17th, 2010 - 1:22 pm

Just don't buy union. Buying union means you're paying thugs to fork up America, willingly contributing to domestic terrorism. I'd rather support the Chinese than US union goons. At least the Chinese don't pretend to be American.

Absolutely disgusting!

I will NEVER work for a union and this is exactly why!

F***ing THUGS!

BHO_UMM_UMM_UMM   July 17th, 2010 - 8:25 pm

The unions have been chosen by Obama to be his brown shirt civilian army, just like Obama promised from his regime, and soon they'll be just as well funded and just as well armed as our military.

Godsmotive   July 17th, 2010 - 8:27 pm

Look for that Union Label…..then don't buy it. Screw the unions…they have never been necessary or for the good. Just collectivists thugs who should swept aside. I would rather illegal aliens get their jobs….better people.

BHO_UMM_UMM_UMM   July 17th, 2010 - 1:31 pm

You haven't seen anything yet. Obama is making the entire system adversarial, nurses against doctors, doctors against patient's, government against doctors and nurses and patients, hospitals against doctors and nurses. As the money dissispates for health care, the loudest and strongest will get the biggest slice of the pie, and all components of healthcare will unionize to be the biggest and loudest.

With the government price and wage and service controls ObamaCare/DarwinCare put in place, and with that death panel of one Berwick in charge, healthcare will be a war zone with many casualties.

WHy are these camera men not beating the living hell out of these thugs who abuse them. This is getting out of hand. Beat their asses when they touch your camera. Stop filming them and beat their asses and then show the tape of assault after they ask you why you split the Thugs skull.

teapartyforever   July 17th, 2010 - 8:37 pm

you make a good point. i may start looking for the union label in the future, just to make sure i can avoid 'union made'. most things are manufactured around the world anyways these days. i will be avoiding the 'union label' from now on.

Buford   July 17th, 2010 - 8:37 pm

You are so right. Split their skull and leave them laying where they assaulted you. Do not wimp out and run for cover. Protect yourself and these thugs would walk off.

outheygo2012   July 17th, 2010 - 8:39 pm

What baffles me beyond comprehension, is why aren't these scumbags arrested???????????????? I would press charges immediately and be calling the cops to show them the video and have that dirtbag scumbag liberal union thug behind bars.

Jamesb   July 17th, 2010 - 1:41 pm

If you look really, really, really closely you can see the little SWASTIKA on their arm bands.

And YA, go ahead, tell me that by me invoking the NAZI comparison I "cheapen and dimminish" my argument. Then tell me this wave of agressive actions by unions thugs, "Neo Marxist Black Panthers", NAALCP members and their allies is just "politics as usual".

Go ahead.

Chameberlain   July 17th, 2010 - 1:43 pm

Heck if the Black Panthers can get away with a verbal assault at a polling place, why can't a union thug commit an assault and battery anywhere ? Yea send the tape to Jerry Brown, Whitman's opponent. Moon Beam Brown is the top law enforcement in the state of Arnold. He will prosecute. This is a country where the Community Organizer in Chief says "Get in their Face" That is what the union guy did here. Wonder if he is being paid minimum wage ?

AmericanTParty   July 17th, 2010 - 1:58 pm

You ever notice that even when these thugs are caught on tape they lie and say nobody did what they did?

And what does it say about your actions if you cower behind a lie? It says you have no values and that you don't even have strong enough convictions to take responsibility for your actions.

HuckleberryTom   July 17th, 2010 - 9:07 pm

Somebody needs to go find and hire biggest, meanest, ugliest Hells Angel they can find. Then ask the Angel to wear a Tea Party t-shirt while handing them a video camera and request that he just walk around a union meeting filming. Even better if the Angel rode up to the meeting on his bike. No violence! Make it understood that if the Angel hit ANYBODY, or use any foul or racist language they won't get paid. Then watch the union wimps cower down. The Angel might even do it just for fun. This is all the union thugs understand. I know this won't happen and maybe it shouldn't but it was fun to think about.

iwire57   July 17th, 2010 - 9:08 pm

Mr. Union Goon with your cool aviators on.. can't wait for the day you and your posse come down south and start some shiz.
I suggest you get some safety glasses. They won't shatter as bad when someone smashes your face, old man.

water_buffalo   July 17th, 2010 - 9:12 pm

These are the same paid shills that keep showing up at Obama rallies cheering on their marxist president.

BobbyGG   July 17th, 2010 - 9:15 pm

If one of those thugs had touched me, he would have been dropped instantly. They think they are tough but they are nothing more than cowards. They are just used to no one standing up to them. Like I said, I would have loved to been one of those cameramen. It would have been one of those union guys worst days. Enough of this thuggery and intimidation. The local authorities need to review the footage and press charges. If not, then the authorities are corrupt as well. Can't wait until November.

Diptera   July 17th, 2010 - 2:21 pm

They have my sympathy and support but they are going to have to get smart – like they did with the ACORN video. Innocent looking people with hidden video cams will get the goods on them.

The leftists will use violence to get what they want. Ghandi used non-violence and told the British they would walk out of India of their own accord – they laughed at him but in the end the British walked out of India of their own accord. This battle is win-able if they persist and they wise up about leftist tactics that are well known so they will not fall into the traps they set. No leftist commie ever gave up power without a fight – 145,000,000 murdered by the commies is evidence enough.

Diptera   July 17th, 2010 - 9:24 pm

I think the cameras came out only after the union thugs started assaulting the fellow with the campaign sign. Since they waded into a union gathering they knew this would happen.

Diptera   July 17th, 2010 - 9:26 pm

Did you see the size of Lurch in that video?

If they are going to wade into the middle of a union gathering they had better bring some bigger boys – lol

SouthernVAGAL   July 17th, 2010 - 9:30 pm

People-we must not stoop to their level-WE THE PEOPLE are not like these goons-We MUST show the world who we are-to react with the same violence they do is just what the left wants so it can justify their actions. Record them-post them and assemble peacefully. It is the ONLY way for credibility. Don't let them bait you into violence. It will never achive the goal we seek-taking our country back to the constitution and the country ruled by law and not by men. Keep your eye on the prize. Our freedom and our children's freedom is so worth it. God Bless America!

BpSitRep   July 17th, 2010 - 9:34 pm

Interesting to see that Chavez supporters are all over in the USA brandishing their red shirts just like Chavez and his Socialist People's Army wear. And they act the same way too……brutally towards anyone who disagrees with the Red Shirts.

Diptera   July 17th, 2010 - 9:35 pm

All this vid showed was patches of red, blue sky and pavement – it would be laughed out of court. They need people videoing from farther back, out of the action, to show what happened. They need someone with covert video so they don't become a target and get pushed around so they can't video what is happening.

WRONG COLOR?   July 17th, 2010 - 2:37 pm

Why are they wearing RED instead of PURPLE??

Which Union was this?

Why were the guys filming it in the first place? Did they anticipate violence? Or create it by sticking cameras in people’s faces? Just wondering. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on, in the broken-up film.

jsazsmitty   July 17th, 2010 - 9:42 pm

Anyone watch the movie Hoffa? Union ideology calls for violence if they do not get their way. Meet violence with violence only serves their cause, they want an incident, they know they will have political cover from their Union brothers in the Press and Police officers unions. The goons that assaulted the conservative black vendor in St.Lewis hasn't been charged with anything, yet he is on disability as a result of the scuffle. When your confronting these goons make sure you have back-up photographers stationed out of sight to document what happens. Then go to the DAs' office and file a complaint.

SouthernVAGAL   July 17th, 2010 - 9:43 pm

All that for taping nurses at a public rally, with the chivalrous union guys physically blocking the camera.
Conversely, it seems a female videographer protected by chivalrous ex-infantrymen would be a good solution.
That one that looked like Steve from the Springer show was invading that guy's space when the cop walked up, that's an offense by itself.
Why is it the po-po always side with the pro-Obama side?

Could not really hear much of the Unionist speech but heard something about her 401K now being 55?! What does that have to do with Unions?

We lost most of our savings in our 401K retirement accounts, thanks to the *ucking around between Wall Street, the Banks, and the Feds. (UNIONS had nothing to do with it, as far as we know.)

It’s funny how they have no video of the tea partiers being violent, like the Democrats and media say, but there are tons of video of the Union thugs, Black Panthers being violent and threatening and NAACP trash talk and racist, but you don’t hear the media on them. Fire NBC, MSNBC, CNN,ABC, and CBS. Stop watching them!!!!!!!!!!

Thale_Taxurfeet   July 17th, 2010 - 10:06 pm

There can be no valid complaint about a person with a camera in an outdoor, public venue. Period. When the young fellow started filming has no bearing on the issue at hand.

The only other comment I have is that there seems to be a trend with the union-SEIU-Obama supporters. They always either pick on the small, the old, the lone female, and/or the infirm. Unless of course, they have a roving gang to surround and outnumber any who do not fit in the small, old, lone female, infirm category.

The label thug is too noble for most of these pusillanimous morons.

Mhu_Cao   July 17th, 2010 - 10:10 pm

Track this goon down, and put his head on a stick at union HQ. Unions are for losers and communists.

SunshineConnie   July 17th, 2010 - 10:12 pm

Not now my friend. It is critical not to get physical or violent. The admin would just love to declare martial law and suspend elections. Our day is coming and we will throw them out and prosecute. swe will correct bad laws and bust the UNIONS.

Damn_Yankee   July 17th, 2010 - 10:15 pm

Yes indeed you should, and so should we all. Sheep or Sheep dog…You must Choose. I chose many years ago…I will not suffer attack from anyone, nor will tolerate anyone to attack someone unable to defend themselves. You are responsible for your safety…the police write reports.

It is a common misunderstanding, but The 'Turn the other cheek' quote is in regards to insults…a Verbal attack only, and its good advice as when you argue with a fool, you become one.

Turning the other cheek to a Physical attack is just a bad idea, and to me is never an option. I wonder…Where did this falicy come from; why would you allow someone to lay hands on you without defending yourself? No one must accept physical aggression and you are perfectly within your rights to defend your self from an attack. If physicaly attacked take the tool out without warning or discussion.

ANd no im not some 'internet rambo'…lets keep it real. The reality is Defend Yourself! and Defend anyone else unable to do so from Any physical attack. Never turn from a physical attack…ever.

That's what they want, to use a few of their expendables to beat the crap out of a few good men, then get all the surrounding union members to lie in court about the events. Sure, the union guy(s), might, just might, go to jail, but it will instill fear into the hearts of others who might consider defending themselves against the union goons. And you can bet the union will take good care of the goons doing the dirty work. What does it matter to a union goon about going back to prison for a few months?

What needs to happen, and what would be justice, is a successful lawsuit against the union with hefty punitive damages against the union. Taking their money is what will hurt them, since that's what it is all about, money. These assaults by the union goons are union sponored and approved, a conspiracy, organized crime, an ongoing criminal enterprise. Until Obama is out of office the unions have the criminal upper hand. If Obama gets Kagan installed on the SCOTUS, and then just one more corrupt liberal, game over for America.
