Obama's staff and retreads from the Clinton administration are using Chicago-style intimidation to rescue his extravagant health care bill from its decline in public opinion polls.
A congressional town hall meeting on Aug. 6 reminds us of a memorable political moment when Bill Clinton and his chief aides were in Little Rock celebrating his 1992 election. Heady with victory, Chicago staffer Rahm Emanuel demonstrated how he planned to punish political enemies by plunging his steak knife into the table and screaming, 'Dead!' as he named each target.
At Rep. Russ Carnahan's, D-Mo., town hall meeting on Aug. 6, SEIU (Service Employees International Union) thugs, clad in purple shirts, punched in the face, brutally beat and kicked in the head when he was down an African-American named Kenneth Gladney, while hurling a torrent of racial slurs. The SEIU goons were following White House advice: 'Don't do a lot of talking,' and if they encounter resistance, 'punch back twice as hard.'
The Purple Shirt Brigade picked on Gladney because he was passing out historical American flags with the inscription 'Don't Tread on Me,' and the left won't tolerate African-Americans as conservatives. Gladney was taken to the hospital, and six people were arrested."
