White House Issues Statement Condemning Union Violence, Threats in Michigan

Filed Under Politics, Unions | 47 Comments

And here is that statement:

null

Update: If this would have happened at a Tea Party rally (which of course it never would) the president would already be out holding a full blown emergency press conference as we speak.

What happened to Mr. Tarver is a shame. Not surprising in the least considering the goon-squads that were out in force yesterday, but a shame nonetheless. Clint and his hot dogs are a staple downtown, and you won’t meet a nicer guy.

    Doug, can you advise your IT guy the image isn't downloading? All I get is a blank letterhead! I've refreshed the page several times and..?

    That's what you see when you read a liberal's mind.

    I especially like the part where Obama said " ".
    That pretty much sums up what Obama knows about most subjects.

    Is the teleprompter broke again?

  5. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 1:16 pm

    I noticed the AP stories were on the same page.

  6. Karl Ebert on December 12th, 2012 1:20 pm

    "Enuff said", thus spake Obama.

  7. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 1:24 pm

    I am surprised that it was not a statment condeming the Republicans for causing the violence by passing the legislation.

  8. backwoodsconsr on December 12th, 2012 1:27 pm

    It's not that Obama hasn't given any thought to the matter, it's just that his thoughts are too big to fit on a piece of paper.

    I see Obama has decided to go "green" by recylicng his statement on his porposed spending cuts, what his plans are if Assad crosses the "red line" by using chemical weapons against his own people and what should be done in regards to NoKo launching a long range missle (that apparently put something into Earth's orbit)

  10. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 1:48 pm

    Has the launch occurred ? The last thing I read yesterday said the "launch window" had been extended and that we had sent some ships over there.

  11. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 1:50 pm

    As soon as the Admin`s intensive investigation finds the Tea Party connection to the violence, the statements will be truly voluminous !

    Thanks, TS. I had just a moment before found the "short" story at The Blaze. It said they launched it from their west coast, but there was no report on its success.

  14. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 2:24 pm

    Hey, I thought that was Ted "Enuff said" NUGENT'S saying!?

    Thus spake Marshall_Will on 12/12/12 In The Year of Obama…

    Doug, do you have any idea why the comment stream switches to WordPress format ? It required me to login, but refused to accept it. I have a WP commenter acct. and I did it carefully, but it refused me. After closing the tab several times and clicking refresh a dozen times it finally returned to normal.

    What`s up with this thang !?

  16. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 2:28 pm

    Due out shortly! Normally they employ sycophant distribution stoolies like Soledad and other bodice ripping journo-tools to get that message out. It's still early.

    Start by driving public opinion on Twitter hashtag, gin up support/controversy/chaos. Deny involvement/manipulation and then blame the victim. 3… 2…

  17. Doug on December 12th, 2012 2:31 pm

    Grr… no, I don't know why that would happen. I'll check with the guy who knows way more about this than I do!

  18. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 2:41 pm

    Thanks Doug ! It`s just another in a long line of mysterious mysteries !

    Yesterday and today, I have had to re-login to most every blog, regardless of format. I`ll run a Norton scan after lunch.

  19. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 3:04 pm

    Stranger still, I wanted to post a link from Youtube at MM's and they now require you have "an account" with them. Tried to click out of it and re-try and it's bold as can be!

    Can a few others try? Youtube's been notoriously compliant to The Professional Left's every demand, as has Google and nearly defunct Facebook. I use YT almost exclusively for music-related stuff but lots of Michelle's and Steven Crowder etc. vid's can be seen there.

    Why do they need your friken EMAIL? The paranoid in all of us is screaming this the result of "having more flexibility after the election" but what are you guys thinking?

    Jimmy Hoffa Warns Of "Civil War" As Michigan Governor Signs "Right-To-Work" Into Law

    Data collecting / mining !

    I have watched a couple different YT vids today without having to login. Maybe it`s different if you`re following a link.

    Did you search for the YT vid. ? I just clicked on a bookmarked link and it played without requiring a login. I`ll try a search.

    I did – "You Tube: Christmas music", then clicked Mariah Carie (sp?) and it worked fine. You must be holding you mouth wrong. ;-)

  22. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 3:37 pm

    Rush just said this union "unrest" would last at least into 2014.

  23. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 3:50 pm

    Gotta make sure the rile up their voter base for the mid terms in hope they can manipulate a House take over.

  24. Granny55 on December 12th, 2012 4:02 pm

    Like!!!!

  25. Granny55 on December 12th, 2012 4:05 pm

    My dad was a Teamster and hated the union. So I fired off an email to Mr. Hoffa this morning. So if I don't post for a couple days would you guys please call in a missing persons report for me?

  26. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 4:08 pm

    Sounds about right. Their failure in 2010 and w/ the Walker recall means to them they must be even more violent and be so continuously until they get what they want.

    It isn`t about jobs, workers, the children or anything else good; it`s all about their power, control and maintaining their money laundering scheme ! Little different from the Mafia or drug cartels.

  27. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 4:14 pm

    Except they have been exempted from the RICO statutes that would break up their little enterprise.

  28. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 4:16 pm

    O/T…I see that 18 Dems in the Senate now want to delay the implementation of the medical device tax.

    If the GOP had any b@lls they would not help out at all. The Dem's passed it on a party line vote, let them own it.

  29. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 4:18 pm

    Good luck ! Do you have any distinguishing features that we can give to the police, like flowing red locks and battle skillet ? ;-)

  30. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 4:19 pm

    Let's hope it doesn't come to that! Good for YOU btw.

    We've been sort of following the shooting that took place yesterday at the mall in Portland and MM's newsletter noted some sources claimed the shooter was wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.

    Of course the MSM is sticking to "hockey mask" as I suppose that's what most of us would say anyway, but I understand Fawkes has become a symbol to Occupy. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    If true, they can ditch or sub the mask, but how will they muzzle that many witnesses? Our hearts go out to the families.

  31. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 4:20 pm

    Wouldn't be the first time? I'll check again and thanks for looking!

  32. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 4:26 pm

    One of the dims in opposition is none other than uber lefty, not funny MN comedian Al Franken. Apparently his diapers will be more expensive !

  33. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 5:37 pm

    Isn't it funny how all these lefties who voted for the garbage (or those who supported it and are newly elected) are crying about the taxes now that they see it is going to hit companies in their districts. I say let it come, the voters voted for these idiots so let them see what the consequences are for voting for "free stuff".

    Another day, another Dem Scandal….

    U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.

    Exactly guys. St. Jude Medical ( one Mrs. Will's co. primary competitors ) along with MEDTRONIC are not only huge employers.., they're *head quartered* there! The place should be known as The Land of 10,000 Medical Device Companies..! Take the diaper off and put down the BONG, AL…

    The CEO of EMPI was a client of mine for years. Sadly they went under. Here's a list of the 38 largest ones:

  37. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 6:14 pm

    "Their failure in 2010 and w/ the Walker recall means…"

    Or just CHAOS in general? MI looks like another spin o' The Wheel of Game Changers and P'BO dropped in to make sure it'd get an extree hard whirl.

    And notice how every day is ABB Day? ( Anything But BENGHAZI 'Day'..? )

  38. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 6:20 pm

    Just saw this over at JWF…Crowder to Union Thug (who has been identified)….fight me in a sanctioned MMA fight or I'll press charges:

    Crowder gave an ultimatum to the man who punched him in the face: come forward and face jail time or face him in a mixed martial arts (MMA) match.

    “You can come forward, I’ll press charges, you’ll go to jail,” Crowder said. “Or, since you wanted to cheap-shot me, we can host a bout in a sanctioned, legalized MMA competition.”

    Do you think the unions are for the working man – think again. And do you think they will step up to the plate and help him rebuild his way of life? NFW!!! (That's short for the union goon's answer – remember my dad was a Teamster).

  40. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 6:33 pm

    I have noticed. We will not find out the truth about Benghazi, F&F, "green" loan money laundering, etc…etc until after P'BO is long out of the WH (and probably not till after he has died so there could be no prosecutions).

  41. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 7:20 pm

    Good for Steven. After years of egging's on college campus, nutjobs like Alex Jones threatening MM in public, her having to kid about "her Wonder Woman bracelets" this has gone on long enough.

    My money's on Steven all the way. He's absolutely right, the guy waited until Crowder thought the threat had subsided and kah-POW. One comment I read where HuffPo spinners said it was no big deal replied, "If you think it wasn't, STAND there and let this guy hit YOU in the face!" (para)

    She went on to say, the guy IS a blue collar worker and it wasn't like he was a feeble old man in a wheel chair or something? Heck, I'm only a year younger and I've no doubt just connecting (1) blow could land someone in the ER or worse. And I'm not even that tough? There's a reason this is against the law.

  42. Marshall_Will on December 12th, 2012 7:43 pm

    Or he could step on a LANDMINE of his own making tomorrow! This clown is such a loose cannon, hell bent, just about anything is possible.

    We're in Year 5 of MSM willful blindness. The cracks in the seams are starting to show.

  43. backwoodsconsr on December 12th, 2012 8:01 pm

    I'm 53, and while I don't think I could land someone in the ER with one punch, I'm pretty sure I could hit them hard enough to get their attention. Give me a chance to land multiple blows and they would have scars on their face for life. Yeah, this kind of stuff should be avoided if at all possible.

  44. Truesoldier__ on December 12th, 2012 8:02 pm

    The only thing holding the mess together is the willful ignorance of the MSM. This is why Obama is playing so much on the Republicans want to protect the rich and the expense of the middle class, he needs to set up a straw man to keep the MSM focused on a "bigger enemy", very similiar to NoKo rocket launch. NoKo uses their military show to district not only those foreign entites, but their own people as well.

  45. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 9:58 pm

    Cong. Ellmers is from the East-Central part of NC, I`m in the Western end, so she`s not "my" rep directly, but I like her. She`s very outspoken for gun rights and if I`m not mistaken, carries concealed herself. Aah, Guns n Girls !

  46. SignPainterGuy on December 12th, 2012 10:04 pm

    Unions, like most dim orgs, aren`t about what their names and slogans would seem to imply, but rather to protect their money laundering schemes (as Rush says) and I would add, to maintain their power, control and fat cat salaries.

    [...] Powers has a pic of the official Obama statement, and it’s every bit as detailed, penetratingly insightful, honest, and just plain reasonable [...]
