Thugs Intimidate Questioners at Illinois Congresswoman’s Town Hall

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit: The meeting was held at Round Lake, Illinois Public library on Thursday August 12. The Obamacare-supporting democrat allowed the thug to roam around the room to intimidate constituents from asking questions.

The Dems/Unions only use thugs when they know they will lose power. They did the same during the Health Care Debate of which was so close to losing. There have been many town hall meetings where union thugs have bullied the voters. They have also used Union Thugs to protect their union protesters when they rally at bank owners' homes and terrify the occupants of those homes. This is proven and documented (source: http://www.americanparchment.com ).

I work for the state and so am a union employee but I am completely against their strangle hold on our state.

PRESIDENT OBAMA DON'T LET OFF A FIRESTORM FROM THE VOTERS BY USING UNION THUGS ON YOUR CAMPAIGN.
WE CAN SEE THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR ALL YOUR DEMOCRAT FRIENDS.

Bill_Lumbergh   August 16th, 2010 - 8:25 am

Who in the hell do these people think they are?! The arrogance of most politicians is astounding.

DavidC99   August 16th, 2010 - 8:26 am

Maybe people should start sending their own thugs to tell Congress how to vote.

No?

Then don't screw with the people.

Anexio   August 16th, 2010 - 8:26 am

There is something you people just cant seem to understand.

Sometimes, for the greater good, idiots with idiotic questions need to be silenced.

Come back when you have a question or concern that makes sense.

It's time to move forward, not get caught up the irreverent concerns of a few.

Typical modern Democrat town hall: just sit down, shut up and let the "teaching moment" sink in… …or else. Sure, substitute the lack of a sound doctrine with force.

This isn't a town hall, it's indoctrination.

Our "president" is clearly an Illinois Union Brown Shirt as well. Just look at all the money being thrown their way in these insane spending bills.

dennisl59   August 16th, 2010 - 8:29 am

So here's what going to happen the next time. A "Thug" is going to hover over the wrong person at the wrong time in the wrong place and get kicked in the nuts, punched in the face, knocked down, tasered and spat on while the crowd sings "The Star Spangled Banner".

How about we silence you?

For the greater good.

bobbyj77   August 16th, 2010 - 8:34 am

yeah, OK, so for the greater good of this site, libtard trolls like you need to be silenced, so STFU.

Yeah, that works for me.

PaBowHunter   August 16th, 2010 - 8:35 am

Typical Democrat. Residents of Illinois, you have the power to remove her. Do it or you deserve her as your representative.

Talengtp   August 16th, 2010 - 8:35 am

I seriously hope that you're just trolling and trying to get people all worked up, because you have some really REALLY disturbing opinions if you're trying to be genuine.

However, if you are serious, do you realize that almost every piece of legislation this administration has passed has been against the will of the majority? So in effect, the majority is suffering for the concerns of a few. Sucks when that shoe makes its way over to the other foot doesn't it?

desertmick   August 16th, 2010 - 8:35 am

Can we get a name and employer of the Thug, please?

bobbyj77   August 16th, 2010 - 8:35 am

Why am I not surprised she is from Illinois. I must say, it must be the most corrupt state in the union.

Holdmynose   August 16th, 2010 - 8:38 am

They must be intimidated, they're hiring thugs.

Grace656   August 16th, 2010 - 8:40 am

I am just so sick of politicians acting like this – they are not supposed act superior to you, they are supposed to be your servants. If you feel your intelligience has been insulted after talking to your representative, then you can and should try to do better with the next election. They may not say what you want to hear, but they should be able to speak directly to the questions asked. This woman is evasive and condescending – and when that doesn't work she intimidates with a muscle guy? Really?. This is so wrong on so many levels.

Holdmynose   August 16th, 2010 - 8:41 am

When Republicans are elected, the thugs SEIU will be hiding in the crowd, heckling.

you and your racist bigoted bullshit would be silenced for

So you want to be silenced? OK by me.

jwryder   August 16th, 2010 - 8:53 am

All those men need to do is stand up and band together and that thug would have backed off. I know that if that guy thought that he would scare me he would have been wearing his balls as ear ornaments.

don   August 16th, 2010 - 8:53 am

What did you expect from a typical american socialists bi***??
vote her out of office, or better yet–organize a type seiu meeting
at her home, but wait until the kids are there for you to scare, just like the seiu thugs do. bring your dogs to shi* on her million dollar lawn. vote them all out & than get rid of all govt. pensions–transfer every dollar from their retirements to social security & give them only $600 to retire on, of course thats once we take all their bank accounts, stocks, cadillacs, bonds, etc.–xfer of wealth baby. like van jones said give it to the poor (“so called middle class now”), give it to the poor.

Tuco   August 16th, 2010 - 8:54 am

What a smug condescending bitch. If this punkass of hers would have done that to me, I would have made him famous by standing up and staring HIM down. What are you going to do there little man? We are on video.

If I was there
that thug would get a nice sucker punch
in the balls, then I would knock him out,
then my friend would tell the police he tried to take my wallet (that wouldn't be a lie)

Urthmovr   August 16th, 2010 - 9:03 am

When I made some unwelcome remarks at a Tea Party, State Troopers were sent to clear me out. Not because I was threatening anybody – just because the people around me didn't like what I had to say.

So what's new?

Great filming! thanks!
Good for you for standing up.Of course she refused to answer,and with a little more then a handful of people there it should have been possible.I see she figured this out a head of time.
Taxpayers paid for thugs or did that come out of her pocket?

MAduece   August 16th, 2010 - 9:25 am

Who determines what is the greater good that others should be silenced? Are you actually advocating that some Americans should be denied their Constitutional rights because you think their questions are idiotic? There are a lot of things the Left brings up that I think are totally asinine but I listen anyway because I believe they have the right to be heard. You're treading in dangerous waters Anexio, when you think others should be silenced because you don't like what they say. For the same measures to silence your opposition could equally be used against you as well.

As long as they aren't putting their hands on anyone else it's fine, being intimidating is subjective.
The second one of these guys touches you beat the hell out of them.
Never let them egg you on and for God's sake don't start anything.
But the price for getting physical with people who stand up against this government should be so high that they lose their stomach for for it.

Never, ever respond to their words and film everything.
And what every you do don't stand there and do nothing if they attack somebody.
They single one person out because cowards.
In the passed everyone else has just stood around and yelled.
Step in and help your countrymen, we can only win if we stick together.

And to you people who think this is over the top, open your eyes, we have come to that point.

"Get ready for the union financed campaign of lies America. "

Get ready?

Union-financed campaigns have been around for decades.

Unions spent a LOT of money electing Obama – and other liberals/progressives in just the last election alone. It's one way for them to get around campaign finance reform. The unions themselves gave a lot of money directly, but they also did a lot of indirect financing. They would tell their membership to whom to donate and even collect checks at meetings. The contributions appeared to be coming from individuals but in fact were just a form of contribution by unions.

The same sort of thing happened at leftist churches like Jeremiah Wright's.

Idiotic questions need to be silenced?

Hello mr oppressive communist collectivist.

1st Amendment – freedom of speech you know the thing protecting your right to spew hatred against our country.

We are a constitutional republic where we grant temporary power to elected representatitves. We the people have every right to grill our elected representatives who over the past 3 years (2007 Dems took congress) have acted against the will of the people!

Show me in our laws or founding documents any mention of collective rights, the right to infringe on the rights of individuals in the name of the collective. That’s right bud, there are no collective rights which are obtained by infringing on the rights of the individual.

Collectivism has always failed. It is a system by which the lazy, stupid and malicious seek to take from others out of: 1. Jealousy, 2. Sloth 3. Incompetence.

doubldwn   August 16th, 2010 - 10:06 am

Central planning has always failed. It is responsible for over 150 million deaths. You appear to be quite the little indoctrinated collectivist without your own thoughts. You do not seem to be able to articulate your own ideas and only recite what others have written or what you have been told by hard left marxists.

Now if you want to throw away the constitution & the bill of rights – then the protections afforded to you no longer apply. Are you willing to go down that route?

You think in your infinite wisdom that you know better than any of us as to what is in our best interest and that somehow you know better than our Founding Fathers when they provided the 1st Amendment to insure we had a voice.

Countless thousands of brave men and women have fought and died to defend the right which you seem to have no problem trampling on.
Of course I should not expect anything less from a supporter of the tyrannical authoritarian regime we call the Obama administration.
You, as well as Obama and the rest of the ruling class elitist demcorats are in for a very rough lesson and it couldn't come fast enough.
Come November we will be flushing the lot of them out of Washington and in 2012 Obama will be fired in favor of of a leader who will actually uphold the Constitution for once.
The, the rest of the dems and some republicans are about to be reminded that they work for us and not the other way around.
