What can we do to stop the madness?
SEIU thugs respond to Obama’s marching orders

http://www.examiner.com/x-14143-Orange-County-Conservative-Examiner~y2009m8d7-SEIU-thugs-respond-to-Obamas-marching-orders?#comments

Reports are pouring in from around the country that the well-dressed swastika carrying seniors are being pounded by Obama’s storm-troopers.

The Obama brown-shirts are showing up town halls and running rough shod over the elderly. Some of the elderly have been hospitalized from their beatings

.
SEIU connected to criminal’s of ACORN are filling pathetically small halls and pushing, literally, the legitimate protestors out. In Tampa Representative Kathy Caster wholeheartedly supported the actions of SEIU and ACORN. Castor quipped arrogantly,

I am literally sick over this crap. This article is a blatant lie. Can't someone sue this guy for slander?
I'm actually getting scared. What do you think?

2. These writers
write for and are employed by Examiner.com. Here is the contact page:

http://www.examiner.com/Contact_Us.html

Write them and tell them that this person is lying and making the whole Examiner.com website look bad. Also tell them it is a reflection on Examiner.com that they employ someone like this.

6. Better yet, tell them that you are going to contact their advertisers.
There was a big Verizon banner on that page - you think Verizon might respond by pulling their advertising?

9. Yes, I do.
Examiner.com hires freelance writers for a pittance to write these pages. I looked into writing for them but it was a lot of work without a lot of money and not worth it. If enough people complained about this guy, he will probably get canned.

8. Elderly folks
are probably scared too. Misinformed and being used by others to drum up this kind of conflict. It's brilliant actually, we're taught to respect the elderly. But don't you think it's inflammatory for them to show up wearing swastikas and brandishing signs spreading falsehoods about the administration and their policies?

Did someone actually get hospitalized over this? I can't find anything on any of the major news sites.

I don't think anyone should commit physical harm against anyone else. Just think there should be a way to stop them from being victims of misinformation, perpetuating falsehoods and disrupting honest debate.

you want to call in the national guard?

"The National Guard was meant to assist states in times of local emergencies like floods, earthquakes and other disasters, and to protect the country as a whole in time of federal emergencies.

5. Go look at my post for starters!
"Contact Fox advertisers...."

A start would be to pressure the media advertisers to get them to squeeze the networks into reducing the publicity these idiots get. Better yet, dumping them.

I find it unnerving when I see all the posts ranting and raving (about many valid concerns), but when I post a thread giving info. for members to contact the networks and Fox advertisers....nada????
