Updates On Conservative Man Beaten By SEIU Thugs

From the Saint Louis Tea Party website, a letter from David A. Brown, attorney for Kenneth Gladney, the man brutally beaten by SEIU thugs at Rep. Russ Carnahan’s town hall meeting in St. Louis yesterday (8/6/2009).

Carnahan released a statement Friday morning that said:

“Sadly we’ve seen stories about disrupters around the country, and we have a handful of them here in Missouri. Instead of participating in a civil debate, they have mobilized with special interests in Washington who have lined their pockets by overcharging Americans for a broken health care system.”

“I will continue to engage with constituents that I am honored to represent in Congress and fight to achieve long-overdue health insurance reform in our country,” Carnahan said

Carnahan’s allies in the SEIU are beating down citizens, and this is all he has to say? What an absolutely reprehensible excuse for a human being.

Here’s the entire report from the Saint Louis Tea Party website.

Also, it appears the Saint Louis Tea Party is not taking this laying down. They have scheduled a protest at SEUI’s St. Louis headquarters tomorrow, August 8th:

The protest is to demand justice for Kenneth Gladney, an African-American conservative who was brutally beaten by 4 individuals, at least 2 of whom were identified as SEIU representatives. The beatings included racial slurs and required hospitalization of Mr. Gladney.

As videos show, the attack was unprovoked and no one retaliated against the union thugs.

This attack followed hours of taunts and verbal assaults by SEIU and ACORN members upon citizens gathered to express their views under the First Amendment. We believe this brutal beating is part of an organized plan to suppress dissent to the Administration’s planned seizure of the medical industry in the United States.

Anyone who believes in non-violent protest, in the rule of law, in the right of black men and women to express conservative political views, in the right to peaceably assemble, to speak freely, and to petition Congress for a redress of grievances is invited to attend.

God bless these patriots. If you are within a day of St. Louis, I hope you can join them.

My guess, the community-organizer-in-chief will have nothing to say about this.

Barack Obama set these animals loose, and I hold him directly responsible. This man has been practicing intentionally divisive politics on a national level since the early days of his campaign, and now he and Pelosi are taking it to the streets.

Here’s video of SEIU members apparently beating a black conservative who was handing out ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ flags. Link to the full (and still breaking) story below.

Here is the actual email that was sent to democrat supporters from Organizing For America:

Friend –

I wanted to send you an urgent invitation to an important Town Hall with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen on Thursday morning. She’ll be talking to constituents and gathering feedback — this is an ideal opportunity to make sure your support of health insurance reform is seen and heard at exactly the right time to make a huge difference.

Our congressional representatives are back home this month, and they’re facing more and more pressure from special interests on health insurance reform. It’s critical that we get out there and show them where we stand.

I hope you can join us.

What: Health Care Town Hall with
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

Where: Grafton Town Hall
E Grafton Rd.
Grafton, NH 03240

When: Thursday, August 6th
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Our representatives are under attack by Washington insiders, insurance companies, and well-financed special interests who don’t go a day without spreading lies and stirring up fear. We need to show that we’re sick and tired of it, and that we’re ready for real change, this year.

Please come to the Town Hall, and make sure that the most powerful voices in this debate are those calling for real reform, not angrily clamoring for the status quo.

RSVP here:

http://nh.barackobama.com/GraftonTH

Thanks,

Tim

Tim Arsenault
New Hampshire Field Director
Organizing for America

P.S. — Before the event, please print off a flyer to display and make sure that your support is visible.

This is the left for you – accuse us of something that we’re not doing, and then proceed to do the very thing they’re falsely accusing us of doing themselves. No big surprise there though, considering the far left has no morals, no integrity, and absolutely no honor.

Is there any ‘official’ confirmation on whether Barack Obama himelf is behind or has authorized this? No, but the RSVP address is http://nh.barackobama.com/GraftonTH , and the flyer they want people to hold as they attend these town hall meetings have the official Obama logo and another barackobama.com URL on them. The flyers themselves are downloadable from yet another barackobama.com URL.

This probably doesn’t need to be said, but do not be intimidated by any opposition that shows up at any event, regardless of how many of them there are (assuming they can muster up the numbers, something they haven’t been all that successful at lately). As others are suggesting, bring a camera – video if possible -  and don’t allow yourself to be dragged into any situation that smells like a setup. If the opposition gets emotional and crazy – something that is virtually guaranteed – just let them…..and get it on video.

The truth is on our side. Stay strong and stay committed.

I’m just…..there are really no words to express….I’m dumbfounded that the white house would attack its own citizens in the manner it has over the past two days. So now we’re a ‘mob’. Were pawns of the republican party. We’re paid agitators. Racists, teabaggers, too well dressed to be legit….

The flat-out lies of Obama and his people, including his new Minister Of Information Linda Douglass - a contemptible, shameless propagandist and liberal media bottom-feeder – have been covered to death by countless other outlets, so I will instead take this opportunity to remind everyone what liberal protests look like.

The out-and-out lies are just flying out of Washington today, from the white house, congress, and now even the DNC. The uprising by the people over Obamacare and the out-of-control spending by this administration over the past six months is being portrayed as some sort of coordinated attack being funded by right-wing concerns.

From The Hill:

DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse brought out the heavy artillery in a lengthy statement issued late Tuesday blasting the GOP and enablers in interest groups for spurring the protests.

“The Republicans and their allied groups — desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill — are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country,” Woodhouse said in a statement.

To use an Obamaism, ‘Let me be clear”…..there has been no ‘thoughtful discussion’ by by our congressmen – at least not between them and us – but there has been elitist condescension by the boatload from these fuckers . Rather than give our concerns any serious consideration, they’ve been spending their time trying to figure out how to sell us on this pile of crap. They’re so far up Pelosi’s ass that they’ve forgotten that they work for us. No, I take that back, I think it’s more than that….I think they simply don’t care that they work for us. They know what’s best, and that’s that.

Too bad they weren’t counting on the backlash. They weren’t ready for it, they actually blew it off when it first started, and now they’re so freaked out at the sheer number of us standing up and fighting back that they don’t know whether to shit or wind their watches.

The DNC kills me. The left has for years been the absolute masters of disruptive protest, of getting out in the streets and in the faces of our elected officials – all to the benefit of the democrat party, I might add – that it must piss them off something terrible to see their own tactics being used so successfully by the opposition. The very suggestion that we’re funded by anyone is laughable. Have you seen our signs, fer chrissakes? Contrast the homemade and occasionally grammatically questionable signs found at the typical TEA party protest with the professionally printed signs, posters, banners and flyers you find at your basic ACORN/SEIU gimme-fests, complete with matching caps and t-shirts and then tell me who’s got the funding behind them.

Unlike the left, we’re not looking for a handout, a payday….free shit bestowed upon us by politicians in search of a vote. We’re out there in defense of our constitution and in opposition of a government that is drunk with power,  and well on its way to destroying our economy, our sovereignty, our future…..our very survival as a free people.

The white house today put out a request that they be notified in the event anyone sees or hears what they feel is ‘disinformation’ being spread about the proposed healthcare bills.

From the white house website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.  These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.  Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Yes, that’s right. Our government wants volunteer informants to snitch on their fellow citizens for excercising their first amendment right to free speech. This is unbelievable.

This is what a dictator does. This is not what the president of the United States of America does. And if you still won’t acknowledge who and what Barack Obama really is, then you are a goddamned fool, and completely unworthy of the freedom and liberties you’re helping him destroy. And to think there was a time when I considered myself a liberal, that I actually related to the likes of you, makes me sick to my stomach.

This isn’t over. Oh, I think a healthcare bill will pass alright, but it will only serve to throw gasoline on the flames….and you can mark my words on that.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve been to a couple of tea parties and picketed my senator….apparently, someone owes me some money.

Raleigh, NC:

Local Patriots were out in force this afternoon in  protest of Barack Obama’s appearance at Broughton High School to push his healthcare reform proposals. I haven’t seen any crowd size estimates yet, but as the pictures (linked below) clearly show, the turnout was substantial. There were some liberal pro-hope-and-change protesters there as well, but it is my understanding that we had them outnumbered by a substantial amount – a theme, incidentally,  that’s been duplicated all over the country recently.

Victor Davis Hanson: What Happened to Our Postracial President?
Obama has unwittingly made his real beliefs clear.
From time to time, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, and Clarence Thomas have naturally talked about growing up African-American under far less tolerant conditions than those we take for granted today. Yet their biggest contributions to American race relations have been their admirable abilities to transcend such racial intolerance — to make being black incidental, not essential, at least in public, to their sterling characters and impressive achievements. more…..

Fred Barnes: Know-Nothing-in-Chief
Is President Obama an economic illiterate? Harsh as that sounds, there’s growing evidence he understands little about economics and even less about economic growth or job creation. Yet, as we saw at last week’s presidential press conference, he’s undeterred from holding forth, with seeming confidence, on economic issues…A good example of Obama’s economic shallowness is his unrelenting defense of the $787 billion “stimulus.” Enacted in February, it has had minimal impact on the economy. Yet Obama has no second thoughts. He says he wouldn’t change a thing about the stimulus. It has “already saved jobs and created new ones,” he said at the press conference, neglecting to note that 2 million jobs–a net 2 million–have been lost since it was passed. more…..

The Blue Dogs are in this fight, in part, because of their stated concerns over growing budget deficits and unaffordable entitlements. The president reiterated again last week that he is determined to sign a bill that slows the pace of rising costs and improves our long-term fiscal outlook.

Well, here’s a bill that would go in exactly the opposite direction from what the authors say is their objective, according to CBO. It would add a third runaway health-care entitlement program to the two already on the books (Medicare and Medicaid) with no prospect in sight that spending on any of them will ever come in line with the government’s revenue base. more…..

Responding to a  question by Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun Times – who, it seems, came to the show intending to mine a bit of racial sensationalism out of the arrest Harvard professor and Obama personal friend Henry Gates – Obama manages to show yet again how, contrary to his ‘post-racial’ campaign rhetoric, he is absolutely all about race. It’s all he sees in people. Which, in my opinion, is in and of itself a very strong indicator of  a person’s inherent racism.

First, the video:

Now, the police report:

On Thursday July 16, 2009, Henry Gates, Jr. – -, of Ware Street, Cambridge, MA) was placed under arrest at Ware Street, after being observed exhibiting loud and tumultuous behavior, in a public place, directed at a uniformed police officer who was present investigating a report of a crime in progress. These actions on the behalf of Gates served no legitimate purpose and caused citizens passing by this location to stop and take notice while appearing surprised and alarmed.

…When I arrived at Ware Street I radioed ECC and asked that they have the caller meet me at the front door to this residence. I was told that the caller was already outside. As I was getting this information, I climbed the porch stairs toward the front door. As [reached the door, a female voice called out to me. I looked in the direction of the voice and observed a white female, later identified {} who was standing on the sidewalk in front of the residence, held a wireless telephone in her hand arid told me that it was she who called. She went on to tell me that she observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch of• Ware Street. She told me that her suspicions were aroused when she observed one of the men wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry. Since I was the only police officer on location and had my back to the front door as I spoke with her, I asked that she wait for other responding officers while I investigated further.

As I turned and faced the door, I could see an older black male standing in the foyer of {} Ware Street. I made this observation through the glass paned front door. As I stood in plain view of this man, later identified as Gates, I asked if he would step out onto the porch and speak with me. He replied “no I will not”. He then demanded to know who I was. I told him that I was “Sgt. Crowley from the Cambridge Police” and that I was “investigating a report of a break in progress” at the residence. While I was making this statement, Gates opened the front door and exclaimed “why, because I’m a black man in America?”. I then asked Gates if there was anyone else in the residence. While yelling, he told me that it was none of my business and accused me of being a racist police officer. I assured Gates that I was responding to a citizen’s call to the Cambridge Police and that the caller was outside as we spoke. Gates seemed to ignore me and picked up a cordless telephone and dialed an unknown telephone number. As he did so, I radioed on channel I that I was off in the residence with someone who appeared to be a resident but very uncooperative. I then overheard Gates asking the person on the other end of his telephone call to “get the chief’ and “whats the chiefs name?’. Gates was telling the person on the other end of the call that he was dealing with a racist police officer in his home. Gates then turned to me and told me that I had no idea who I was “messing” with and that I had not heard the last of it. While I was led to believe that Gates was lawfully in the residence, I was quite surprised and confused with the behavior he exhibited toward me. I asked Gates to provide me with photo identification so that I could verify that he resided at Ware Street and so that I could radio my findings to ECC. Gates initially refused, demanding that I show him identification but then did supply me with a Harvard University identification card. Upon learning that Gates was affiliated with Harvard, I radioed and requested the presence of the Harvard University Police.

With the Harvard University identification in hand, I radioed my findings to ECC on channel two and prepared to leave. Gates again asked for my name which I began to provide. Gates began to yell over my spoken words by accusing me of being a racist police officer and leveling threats that he wasn’t someone to mess with. At some point during this exchange, I became aware that Off. Carlos Figueroa was standing behind me. When Gates asked a third time for my name, I explained to him that I had provided it at his request two separate times. Gates continued to yell at me. I told Gates that I was leaving his residence and that if he had any other questions regarding the matter, I would speak with him outside of the residence.

As I began walking through the foyer toward the front door, I could hear Gates agai,n demanding my name. I again told Gates that I would speak with him outside. My reason for wanting to leave the residence was that Gates was yelling very loud and the acoustics of the kitchen and foyer were making it difficult for me to transmit pertinent information to ECC or other responding units. His reply was “ya, I’ll speak with your mama outside”. When I left the residence, I noted that there were several Cambridge and Harvard University police officers assembled on the sidewalk in front of the residence. Additionally, the caller, md at least seven unidentified passers-by were looking in the direction of Gates, who had followed me outside of the residence.

As I descended the stairs to the sidewalk, Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him. Due to the tumultuous manner Gates had exhibited in his residence as well as his continued tumultuous behavior outside the residence, in view of the public, I warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly. Gates ignored my warning and continued to yell, which drew the attention of both the police officers and citizens, who appeared surprised and alarmed by Gates’s outburst. For a second time I warned Gates to calm down while I withdrew my department issued handcuffs from their carrying case. Gates again ignored my warning and continued to yell at me. It was at this time that I informed Gates that he was under arrest. I then stepped up the stairs, onto the porch and attempted to place handcuffs on Gates. Gates initially resisted my attempt to handcuff him, yelling that he was “disabled” and would fall without his cane. After the handcuffs were property applied, Gates complained that they were too tight. I ordered Off. Ivey, who was among the responding officers, to handcuff Gates with his arms in front of him for his comfort while I secured a cane for Gates from within the residence. I then asked Gates if he would like an officer to take possession of his house key and secure his front door, which he left wide open. Gates told me that the door was un securable due to a previous break attempt at the residence. Shortly thereafter, a Harvard University maintenance person arrived on scene and appeared familiar with Gates. I asked Gates if he was comfortable with this Harvard University maintenance person securing his residence. He told me that he was.

You know, the more I watch the video, the more I think this question by Lynn Sweet was scripted by the white house. In fact, I’d bet on it.

It’s nice to know, however, that after spending the evening attacking doctors, insurance companies and the ‘rich’, he still had a few moments left to go after the evil white man..

Moments like this are why they try to keep this disgraceful excuse for a president chained to a teleprompter. His response – if he had any sense, class, respect for law enforcement or for his own position as president of the United States, should have been something to the effect of “without knowing the facts of the case, I cannot comment on it one way or the other“.

Instead, the leader of the free world took the opportunity to belittle law enforcement, stoke the flames of racial tension, and do some campaign-style pandering to his core constituency – all without having the slightest idea of what really happened.

If you’re expecting an apology from the race-baiter-in-chief though, don’t hold your breath. It ain’t happening.

Finally, here’s CNN’s brief report on the arresting officer, Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department.

AP sources: Obama wants Senate health bill quickly:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Moving forcefully on his top domestic priority, President Barack Obama told a powerful Senate chairman on Monday he wants health care legislation ready in the Finance Committee by week’s end, according to numerous Democratic officials.

These officials said Obama made his wishes known directly to Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., at a White House meeting attended by administration officials and senior Democratic lawmakers.

It was not immediately clear whether Obama expressed a preference for a bipartisan measure — which Baucus has been laboring over for months — or a bill tailored more to Democratic specifications.

Still, the virtual deadline underscored Obama’s determination to push initial legislation through both houses of Congress before lawmakers leave the Capitol in August for a vacation.

“Don’t bet against us. We are going to make this thing happen,” the president told reporters earlier in the day, fresh from an overseas trip that coincided with slippage in momentum for his top domestic priority. more…..

Notice the rush? Again? Obama knows damn well that each additional day this healthcare debacle is exposed to public scrutiny, the less chance he has of getting it passed as more and more of us begin to understand what’s really at stake – for starters, the end of private insurance, the loss of jobs, increased taxes, the ultimate bankruptcy of our nation (which just today passed the trillion-dollar deficit mark), and forced servitude at the hands of an out-of-control government.

Yes, I said ‘forced servitude’.

Main Entry: ser·vi·tude
Pronunciation: \ˈsər-və-ˌtüd, -ˌtyüd\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French servitute, from Latin servitudo slavery, from servus slave
Date: 15th century

1 : a condition in which one lacks liberty especially to determine one’s course of action or way of life
2 : a right by which something (as a piece of land) owned by one person is subject to a specified use or enjoyment by another

From the AP article:

The measure would spend billions of dollars subsidizing lower income individuals and families who cannot afford coverage, in an attempt to cut dramatically into the ranks of the uninsured.

To comply with another presidential priority, it would rely on cuts in Medicare and Medicaid to begin slowing the rate of growth in health care spending overall.

The measure is expected to impose a fee equal to 8 percent of a worker’s salary on large companies that fail to offer insurance or do not subsidize it at a high enough rate. Individuals also would have to pay a penalty if they refused to purchase affordable insurance.

If our government forces you to either ‘participate or pay’ in order to provide benefits for someone other than yourself  – which is exactly what they’re proposing here – (and face it, the non-contributor is exactly who this system is being designed for), but you then choose to do neither, you can bet the feds will haul your ass away in handcuffs. That is forced servitude.

Understand this: what this rogue president and congress is attempting to do with regards to nationalizing healthcare is absolutely 100 percent unconstitutional. The federal government does NOT have the authority to take over the healthcare and/or insurance industries or to provide healthcare/insurance to people at taxpayer expense, nor does it have the authority to force individuals or businesses into healthcare plans aganst their wishes.

The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution reads:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Since the Constitution does not grant the federal government authority to provide for the healthcare of U.S. citizens, congress does not have the authority to do what they’re currently trying to do. Period. The states, however, do have that authority (Massachussettes is one state which does have universal healthcare, and it’s failing).

Yes, it really is just that simple. Unfortunately,and as wee all know by now, neither this president or this congress have any interest whatsoever in following or preserving the constitution, choosing instead to continue down the reckless path to socialism and the massive expansion of the welfare/dependent class.

From the AP article:

Despite objections from conservative and moderate Democrats, prospects for House action along the president’s timetable are better than in the Senate. There, majority Democrats are readying legislation, to be introduced as early as Tuesday, that would prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions.

Like your current insurance? Kiss it goodbye, because this single provision will be the death of the private insurance industry, thereby leaving the federal government as the last man standing, and in complete control of your healthcare.

Why?

Imagine crashing your car, and then going out and buying collision insurance after the fact and expecting the insurance co. to pick up the tab for your accident (aka the preexisting condition). How many times do you think this scenario could play out before the insurance company closed its doors for good? Even if they wanted to stay open, they’d quickly go broke and be forced out of business.

Do you really think Obama and co. don’t understand this, that they don’t know exactly what they are doing?

This is a government out of control. This is a president actively and intentionally trying to bring down the greatest nation the world has ever known.

Call your senators. Call your congressmen. Every Single Day, and make them understand that if they support national healthcare in any form, it will be the end of their jobs.
