Left Wing Thugs Exhorted By White House To "Punch Back Twice As Hard" Attack Conservative Activist At Meeting
So when does the White House start sharing some of the responsibility for causing this?
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old 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 of the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.
If it were talk radio hosts or their listeners who were beating union activists, we'd be hearing about how talk radio "stirs up" and "foments violence," or as leftwing stooge Bill Moyers once put it, "stirs up riots in the mind."
When does the White House apologize to the 50%+ and growing number of the American people who were - up until yesterday, when the White House used verbal violence to urge it's union supporters to "punch back twice as hard" - entitled to peacefully protest their Congressional representatives without fear of coercion or violence from supporters of the Obama Administration?
Good work by Patterico getting this.
VIDEO from Gateway Pundit: Police arrest at least one SEIU member caught on tape attacking protesters (Obama supporters, urged by the White House yesterday to show up at these meetings and "punch back twice as hard").
UPDATE by Rusty: SEIU and the “persuasion of power.
