Oh Sweet Jesus - front page of Yahoo

Now I know how the conservatives felt all these years fighting the liberal media.

This is from the writer and not in quotes:

At its heart, the issue is this: Some public workers get a sweet deal compared to other workers. And it's taxpayers who pay for it.

That's set off resentment in a time when economic doldrums have left practically everyone tightening their belts. Many people have found their tax bills rising even if their earnings haven't.

I know, I know - just turn away - but the facts his own article undercuts the point he's trying so hard to sell.

In the previous paragraph he admits: "A USA Today/Gallup poll last month found show that Americans largely side with the employees, though about two in five that want government pay and benefits reined in."

You can see all the "hate" comes from people in the private sector who are not unionized and thus don't enjoy the benefits the unions have fought and bled for.

I just posted a top story from google too that was pure RW propaganda. Have you noticed how the mainstream media is doing a lot of reporting on possible RW candidates as well, as if anyone gives a sh_t.

increase benefits for everyone else? Why do they have to grease the skids for a "race to the bottom"? Why do they have to act so selfish? Why do they want everyone to have a crappy life? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

Look folks, we are supposed to be progressing. We are supposed to try and help everyone. We aren't supposed to supply the turds for the punchbowl! imo

folks like us write LTTE and are outspoken with friends and family members to who parrot this.

As if they don't do the most important work in America - teaching our kids.

As if they don't earn the money.

Yahoo is right-wing crap.

on the other hand, here's an hilarious right-wing comment!

LIBBREAKER 1 minute ago - government union employees

are killing tax payers in libya

as you read this.

the communist or fascist party always arises from loyal government workers.

public unions, especially teachers, were responsible for raising hitler youth

to be loyal tax paying nazi army members.

heil obama and the nazi democrat national socialist workers party

to make them worse for everyone.

where is THEIR union? oh, you thought you didn't need one?

This take the loudest most obnoxious people who make up maybe 25% of the population and use them as a basis to go against the majority ain't flying anymore. I don't give a flying fuck if Amy America from Smalltown USA is getting paid less because she didn't get a union gig. Let her pull herself up by her fucking bootstraps.Or join a fucking union.
