Somehow this is just fine and dandy to the Left. Can you imagine if republicans had done this? Oh, they would be branded as racist, sexist, homophobic, violent teabaggers.

What's really behind SEIU's Bank of America protests - May. 19, 2010

Quote:
Waving signs denouncing bank "greed," hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer's steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer's teenage son Jack -- alone in the house -- locked himself in the bathroom. "When are they going to leave?" Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.
This is truly despicable behavior.

Read on.

» As SEIU Terrorizes Bank Employee’s Son, HuffPo and MediaMatters Omit Deadbeat Union’s $90 Million Debt - Big Journalism

Media Matters, that bastion of truth from the Left, forgot to mention the $90 Million SEIU owes BofA.

Quote:
Perhaps the most important piece of information of all that was left out of the posts from SEIU, the Huffington Post, and Media Matters is the fact that Bank of America is one of SEIU’s major creditors.

In 2007, the SEIU owed Bank of America nearly $95 Million.
This is troubling, if true.

» D.C. Metro Police Escorted SEIU Protesters to Bank Of America Executive’s Home - Big Journalism

Quote:
A caravan of SEIU buses receive a Metropolitan (D.C.) Police Department escort to a private home in Maryland where the protesters, from all appearances, violate Montgomery County law by engaging in a stationary protest. The Montgomery County police were not informed by their cross-jurisdictional colleagues of the impending, unusually large protest pending in their jurisdiction.
Something is truly, truly, deeply wrong in this country, ruled by people like this.

It was posted already. After I posted the link to the part about the DC police officers escorting the union thugs to the protest, all further posting on the topic died away.

Here was my post on the topic

The protestors were escorted by the DC police department.

Man's teenage son was home alone and was scared by the mob.

So is the DC police now Obama's personal goon squad?

This reminds me of union people harressing AIG employees at their homes for getting bonuses after taking bailout money.

Funny, GM and Chrysler execs got multi million dollar bonuses after taking bailout money. But not a peep from the left.

Isn't that amazing?

The double standard and hypocrisy is just astounding.

And Nancy Pelosi called the early tea party rallies "astroturf". This was an "astroturf" protest, if ever there was one.

Wonder how much they were paid to participate in the demonstration???

Oh good grief. If people want to protest, go to the place of business, not someone's home.

I don't care what side of the political spectrum you are on. If you think terrorizing someone's family is good, you need a reality check.

I am beginning to believe the majority of the people in this country are nuts.

Including those in power if the police escorted them.
