“Obamaâ€™s Thugs Stifling Free Speech”
by Newsmax.com - Pamela Geller
August 11th, 2009

America has been sucker punched. The unifier, the great post-racial, post-American president, has adopted the street tactics of Chicago thug politics. His ACORN/SEIU/Union goons are beating up decent American citizens at town hall meetings. And with the violence comes vilification: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has claimed that protesters are “carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”

Union thugs beat up a protester, Randy Arthur, at Florida Democrat Congresswoman Kathy Castor’s town hall meeting in Tampa on Aug. 6. Castor’s union thugs also shut the doors to prevent the opposing opinions from being heard. Fifteen hundred people were there, but they would not let them in the front door. When the doors were finally opened, only about 75 people were allowed in. Meanwhile, by the time those 75 were let in, the union and ACORN thugs had already been quietly ushered in through the back door, and had already taken seats that were reserved for them in the front. Castor herself then proceeded to leave, not taking any questions, claiming that it was because she “couldn’t hear.” Translation: she doesn’t have answers, because she hasn’t read the House bill.

And in Missouri, over 1,000 St. Louis Tea Party taxpayers showed up to attend the Russ Carnahan town hall meeting in South St. Louis. They too were locked out — while the Carnahan staff was sneaking members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in the side door marked “handicapped.” Remember: President Barack Obama paid out at least $2.25 million to the SEIU, the nation’s largest labor union. And SEIU COPE-PAC spent $13,355,389 to get Obama elected president. SEIU paid for door-to-door canvassing for Obama, voter identification and registration, and phone banks.

The thugs were attacking free citizens. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has this: “Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with ‘Don’t tread on me’ printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack. ‘It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,’ he said.”

Not for conservatives. Not for free Americans.

Expect a lot of this, folks. Expect to fight for your right to speak freely. They are co-opting the heartfelt outcry of great Americans as a propaganda trick. They will pack town halls this summer with their paid street thugs and video the proceedings with shaky cameras so that their media shills and whores will happily run the video as the “American street.”

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
