\nLast week, AFL-CIO bosses viciously accused<\/a> the grassroots citizens who are increasingly alarmed about unfolding Big Government power grabs (and who are expressing their legitimate concerns at Congressional town hall meetings on government run health care) of orchestrating "extremist disruptions" in coordination with "a growing number of health care reform opponents, including Republican leaders trying to kill President Obama\u2019s reform initiatives."\n<\/p>\n

\nAFL-CIO operatives are convinced that these so-called "extremist disruptions" are meant "to kill health care reform, not debate it, not refine it, not find a middle ground, just kill it."\n<\/p>\n

\nRichard Trumka, AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer and heir apparent to AFL-CIO chieftain John Sweeney, had this to say:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t"Mob rule is not a democracy. People have a democratic right to express themselves and our elected leaders have a right to hear from their constituents — not organized thugs whose sole purpose is to shut down the conversation and attempt to scare our leaders into inaction."\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nSuch over-the-top hyperbole might be dismissed if it didn’t come from someone who makes his living coercing and intimidating. After all, union bosses are the ones known for intimidating and shouting-down people who refuse to toe the union line. When anyone questions Big Labor’s government-granted special privileges<\/a>, union bosses frequently resort to intimidation, harassment, or worse to end the discussion.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd Trumka himself has tacitly endorsed such thuggery. Here’s how he responded<\/a> to reports of UMW union violence against independent-minded workers:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t"I’m saying if you strike a match and put your finger in, common sense tells you you’re going to burn your finger."\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThe presumptive AFL-CIO president Trumka isn’t the only culprit, of course. When California teachers Judy Liegmann and Jeralee Smith<\/span> spoke out<\/a> against forced union dues for politics, union bosses rounded up a mob of union toughs to shout down and intimidate them.\u00a0 As Ms. Liegmann<\/a> and Ms. Smith<\/a> bravely announced their opposition to funding union political activism, union militants chanted "shame on you" while other Big Labor goons booed and hurled insults. This sounds like REAL "extremist disruption" to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
