SEIU receives phone call threatening gun violence

Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 04:44 PM by cal04

SEIU receives phone call threatening gun violence over its health care reform advocacy.

The Service Employees International Union, which supports health care reform, received a call today falsely accusing it of engaging in “thuggish violent tactics” and claiming that if the union does not stop disagreeing with reform’s opponents, “y’all are gonna come up against the Second Amendment.” Listen here:

Amazingly, after threatening to shoot SEIU’s members, the caller concludes by saying “stop the violence.”

1. It is really a little funny that these dingleberries think they can scare us off.

What the hell is in their beer anyway?

3. At the risk of sounding like a four-year old, they started it.

Thuggery breeds thuggery--did they honestly think they just roll over us with no consequences? Pacifisim is NOT passivity. As for the second amendment, two can play that game.

I hope these threatening calls are be treated as the criminal acts that they are.

:headbang:
