It's all a matter of perspective

What the hell Teh Fred is doing reading HuffPo shall forever remain a mystery.  I can forgive that, though, as he's pointed out a good read to demonstrate the reality-bending that's going on regarding the town hall demonstrations.

A few points from the article, which is worth a read if only for the giggles at union thugs being afraid of grandma's cane.

This:

is what passes for "several conservative media outlets accus(ing) the organization of trying to assault demonstrators".

Rush Limbaugh is scary scary for announcing the address of the St. Louis SEIU on the air, since Republicans can't hear an address without showing up with their clingy guns and Bibles and white pointy hats and burning crosses on the lawn.

Doing things like noting license plates of who shows up at demonstrations is a tactic best left to people who have experience at investigating political activists, like Helen Jones-Kelley.

One person saying something extreme on Twitter constitutes an angry mob "taking up arms against the union".  And saying you're going to use the 2nd Amendment to protect your 1st Amendment rights is eeeeeviiiiiiillll.

The unions are just there to help, which is why they were "help(ing to) turn away people at a forum in Tampa Bay, Florida".

And the author has no fucking idea what a petition is.  But that's just petty of me to point out.
