Obama and the Thugs
By Kyle-Anne
Shiver
"If
you want the next four years lookin' like the last eight, then I'm not
your candidate. But if you want real change...then I need you. I need
you to go out and talk to your friends, talk to your neighbors...I want
you to argue with them, get in their faces...you guys are the ones who
can make the change."
- Candidate Barack Obama to supporters September, 2008
Early
last fall, an old friend of mine and long-time volunteer for Republican
women's associations, called me from her home in Orlando, Florida. She
was quite shaken. She had just returned from what was intended to be a
small, quiet McCain support outing, just like the ones she had been
dutifully attending for 30 years. The small group of middle-aged
homemakers took their little signs to an approved street corner,
carried their small American flags and assembled to do their hour's
vote-for-our-guy walk before heading off to the nearest coffee shop to
divvy up coming-week duties of stuffing envelopes and making phone
calls.
But
something had changed between the last election and 2008. My friend
told of a morning from hell, in which the women were rudely accosted on
the street by young male thugs (her word), who called them "c*nts,"
"whitey whores" and "stupid bitches." These young males got in their
faces and jostled them with angry shoves. My friend said that in all
the years she had been doing just this simple patriotic activity, she
had never had such a frightening experience. It was to be the first of
several, which have left her shaken to this day.
Later
on into the fall campaign, I spoke with Dr. Lynette Long, a former
Hillary supporter compiling data on what she deemed, "Caucus Fraud."
She referred me to a set of video testimonials, in which middle-aged women
mostly, gave grizzly accounts of the same thuggery employed against
them in caucus settings.
The
data compiled by Dr. Long, along with the video-recorded testimonials
of dozens of caucus-goers, are indeed convincing. According to Dr.
Long, in a personal interview, reports from caucus attendees are pretty
horrifying at worst, wholly undemocratic at best. Female Clinton
supporters reported being called "c*nts" and other sexual epithets,
being spat upon by Obama supporters, being threatened physically, and
an overall environment of hostility. Not exactly the democratic process
to which we are accustomed.
In
the end, it was the caucus states, where such strong-arm tactics were
employed by Obama supporters, which finally gave Obama the victory. As
Dr. Long points out, the only caucus in the entire nominating contest
that Obama lost was Nevada. In every other caucus, relying heavily on
thug intimidation, Obama prevailed.
So,
it should come as no surprise to anyone that the same thug tactics are
now being used against MediCoup** resisters at town halls around the
Country.
The
most shocking thug event, so far, took place early this month in St.
Louis. In his own words, Kenneth Gladney, victim of assault, tells what happened:
Well,
first, I was there to sell, you know, flags and buttons and stuff that
said, "Don't tread on me." And I was setting out there, and I guess
something got -- just went through my head. I said I'm just going to
give them away and stuff like that. So a pastor's wife walked up to me,
and she just took a liking to some of the buttons. So I start showing
her some of the buttons and everything. This guy walked up and he said,
"Who in the -- who in the blank is selling or giving away this stuff
here?" I said, "Sir, this is my merchandise. And would you like a flag
or a button or something like that?" And he said, "What kind of 'n' are
you to be giving this stuff out."
Yes,
they surrounded me. Actually, after the first two guys got me on the
ground, they surrounded me and started kicking me in the head and in
the back, and the knees and stuff like that. And after it was done, I
got up, kind of dazed, looking for my glasses. And the one guy actually
was coming at me again, and that's when the police came in and, you
know, cordoned off everything and started, you know, started arresting
people.
This is
change, all right, but I'll be darned if I see a whole lot of hope.
Then, on August
13, outside a townhall in Thousand Oaks, California, three doctors were
assaulted
when they attempted to speak their minds. The doctors, all wearing
scrubs, were locked out of the townhall meeting and began voicing their
objections to an orderly crowd, when suddenly they were lunged at by an
angry white male. Fortunately for the docs, the man was prevented
causing real harm when other men forced him to the ground, whereupon he
was promptly arrested.
A videographer
at a Tampa, Florida townhall got roughed up by union thugs and had his
camera smashed. A local doctor from Douglasville, Georgia was shouted down by his own congressman and
accused of not being a constituent, a charge that was later shown to be
blatantly false.
A very fishy swastika was painted on the
Congressman's office sign the next day.
If any side has
been guilty of astroturfing at townhalls, it is Obama supporters.
People posing
as doctors have turned up at various events, hailing the President's
plan, only to be found out later. Vandals smashed windows at the
Democratic Party office in Denver early this week. More astroturfing,
apparently. As Gateway Pundit has detailed:
The
young vandal who smashed windows at the DNC headquarters in Denver on
Tuesday worked for a democratic politician, was paid by a SEIU-related
front group, and was arrested at the RNC convention last year in St.
Paul.
Honestly,
I never thought I would live to see the day when a president one-upped
Nixon. But this Obama thuggery gets worse by the day and our
once-valiant mainstream press just yawns and accuses the innocent.
Even Richard
Nixon never, as far as we know, went so far as to orchestrate manufactured news, advise his
supporters to "get in their faces" or use taxpayer dollars to promote political causes.
What in the
world is this Country coming to?
Our
Founders are surely staring aghast from their heavenly abodes. And
I'll bet my own proverbial farm that I know which side they're pulling
for.

thanks to a volunteer research assistant, who prefers to remain
anonymous and to Dr. Lynette Long, who is writing a book based on her
Caucus Fraud research.
**MediCoup is a
term coined by James Lewis on American Thinker. It's perfect, so I use
it often.
