Ridiculous that the idiot thugs had to target a friggin hot-dog vendor just because they are filled with self-interest, rage and hatred.   But awesome for the Tea Party Conservatives to respond with overwhelming concern and raise money to help him.

(Via Big Government)  Local Lansing Michigan hot dog vendor Clint Tarver was catering for Americans For Prosperity during the right-to-work demonstrations at the State Capitol on Tuesday, when two men rushed into the tent. In a video interview with Breitbart News, Clint claims one of the men wore a “Devil Mask.”

When reporter Lee Stranahan describes a Guy Fawkes mask, Tarver indicates that it sounds like that is what the assailant wore. Tarver was shown a photo of a Guy Fawkes mask after the interview and confirmed that it what the attacker who kicked over coffee machines and began attacking the tent with a box cutter, was wearing.

Considering the previous Discussion Thread (and subsequent commentary) on Mark O’Mara, the anonymous “Green” wanted to confirm and provide the following video. (The players are outlined as follows)

The typical prog tolerance exposed.  Belafonte willing to lock up anyone who does not agree with him, his philosophy or ideology.   This is the real underbelly of the progressive left- they will demand tolerance for their opinion when in the minority, but as soon as they take power, in any form, immediately they move to control everyone.

(Via GWP)  Enlightened Marxist Harry Belafonte was on with pal Al Sharpton this week.  His advice for Obama was to imprison opposition like a “third world dictator.”

Previously, Belafonte called President Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” while praising Marxist tyrant Hugo Chavez.

(WeaselZippers) […] he wasn’t there to protest for or against right-to-work, just to sell hot dogs.   And conservatives being the racist people that they are have already raised over $5,600 $9,000 to help Clint Tarver get back on his feet.

(Via IS)  Early today [December 11, 2012], Clint Tarver, known as “The Hot Dog Guy” here in Lansing had his business attacked and destroyed by out of line and out of control protesters near the Capitol.

Everyone who has passed the hot dog cart knows what a kind and caring individual Clint is. He never fails to bestow a smile or friendly greeting. In no way [did] he provoke this attack, nor any of the behavior displayed toward him.  (article) (more…)

What do you think the media cycle would have been like if the Tea Party had been punching people, knocking them to the ground and breaking up their tents n stuff with women and elderly inside?

Newsbusters – All three networks on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ignored the violent assaults by union protesters in Michigan, instead vaguely insisting that activists were simply “voicing their anger” at the “showdown raging in the heartland.” The morning shows on Wednesday allowed little coverage of Michigan at all, a mere 72 seconds out of eight hours of programming.  (read more)

Dana Loesch identified another one of the unhinged union goons who was tearing down the AFP tent.  His name is Chris Opalewski.  (seen here from the video)

But Mr. Opalewski apparently has an affection for another, well, more faaabulous series of less taxing endeavors.  (see here)

I just can’t stand the insufferable hypocrisy from these people – There is not enough Tar and Feathers……

WASHINGTON DC – Sixteen Democratic senators who voted for the Affordable Care Act are asking that one of its fundraising mechanisms, a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices scheduled to take effect January 1, be delayed.  Echoing arguments made by Republicans against Obamacare, the Democratic senators say the levy will cost jobs — in a statement Monday, Sen. Al Franken called it a “job-killing tax” — and also impair American competitiveness in the medical device field.

The senators, who made the request in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are Franken, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray, John Kerry, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Joseph Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Robert Casey, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Mikulski, Kay Hagan, Herb Kohl, Jeanne Shaheen, and Richard Blumenthal.  All voted for Obamacare.

I doubt you could find a more apropos example of hypocrisy than comparing the media coverage of the leftist union behavior in Michigan against the ever-false media claims of violence from the Conservative Tea Party which remains mythical and non-existent…..   

[Stella Writes]  In November there were two union-backed initiatives to change the Michigan Constitution; both failed. One would have given unions the constitutional right to collective bargaining in our state, which meant that “right to work” could not be passed here.   The unions spent millions, but lost.

Our governor [Snyder] has, in the past, said that “right to work” wasn’t a priority for him, and he felt that it was divisive. Because of the ballot initiatives backed by the unions, he has seen that they will do everything possible to push forward the power of unions, so he changed his mind on backing RTW, and today signed legislation passed by the Michigan senate and house.

Right to Work advocate and conservative voice Steven Crowder is punched in the face by IBEW union member Tony Camargo.   The union was attempting to tear down a Right to Work supporter tent with women and elderly people still inside.

(Via CNN) On Tuesday evening. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, signed the legislation, which allows workers at union-represented employers to forgo paying dues.

Thousands of people, many of them union workers, gathered outside the statehouse, chanting and holding signs as snow fell.At least three school districts were closed as teachers traveled to Lansing to protest.

There are 23 states which have right-to-work laws, mostly in the South and western plains states, where union membership is relatively weak. Nationwide, union membership stands at 11.8%. (more…)

Uber-Progressive Oregon.   A woman was held at gunpoint by two seven and eleven year old boys.   They held the woman at gunpoint and demanded her phone and cash.   She fled in her truck and the police were on scene quickly to arrest the two boys.  When found one of the boys had a loaded handgun fully cocked in his pocket.    However, by law the police had to let the boys go – they cannot arrest anyone under the age of twelve.

OREGON – A Portland woman says she was scared for her life when an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy pointed a gun at her and demanded her truck, her phone and her money.

It happened at about noon on Saturday in the parking lot of the Freedom Foursquare Church at 16000 SE Alder St.  Amy Garrett, 22, said she was sitting in her truck, waiting for her parents who were inside the church, when a 7-year-old boy and 11-year-old boy walked up to her.

Garrett said the boys demanded her truck and the 7-year-old told the older boy to “show her your piece.” She said the older boy lifted up his shirt and flashed a handgun. (more…)
