Ken Hamidi is a state worker at the California Franchise Tax Board. Last night he walked into a union hall in Sacramento for an SEIU local 1000 meeting.
"We had every right to be here, very simple; it wasn't anything private or anything exclusive," said Hamidi.
But Hamidi says the union members did not want him there.
"Three, four people jumped at me, wrestled with me, then did all that," said Hamidi. "I was covered in blood and then over to the emergency room."
Photos of Hamidi in the hospital show him bloodied from the brawl. So why did this happen? Besides being a state worker, Hamidi says he's an unpaid reporter for a cable access show and a vocal critic of the SEIU. He calls the state workers' union corrupt.
"This is a union hall that is leased and is being furnished and equipped and everything with our money," said Hamidi.
Hamidi says he came to the hall to expose how he says SEIU union leaders are spending tens of thousands of dollars on a political race, he claims, they have no right to do. After he and a photographer walked in to the meeting, it didn't take long for Hamidi to be right out the door and on his way to the hospital.
Something tells me that the beating in St. Louis earlier this year by SEIU thugs of an Obamacare opponent was not an isolated event.

All that said, this is incredibly disturbing, from a grade-schooler's public education materials, this I believe is in Dallas area, of all friggin' places,
Second Amendment: “We can get permission to own weapons to protect ourselvesâ€Be sure to listen to the audio from The Hostages.Fourth Amendment: “The police need a good reason to arrest someone. They usually need permission to search our homes.â€

Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you with the tip of a Hussar's sword soaked in the blood of combat for leaving Poland exposed to the Russians.
The armed forces are said to have carried out "war games" in which nuclear missiles were fired and troops practised an amphibious landing on the country's coast.
Documents obtained by Wprost, one of Poland's leading news magazines, said the exercise was carried out in conjunction with soldiers from Belarus.
The manoeuvres are thought to have been held in September and involved about 13,000 Russian and Belarusian troops.
Poland, which has strained relations with both countries, was cast as the "potential aggressor".
The documents state the exercises, code-named "West", were officially classified as "defensive" but many of the operations appeared to have an offensive nature.
The Russian air force practised using weapons from its nuclear arsenal, while in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, which neighbours Poland, Red Army forces stormed a "Polish" beach and attacked a gas pipeline.
The operation also involved the simulated suppression of an uprising by a national minority in Belarus – the country has a significant Polish population which has a strained relationship with authoritarian government of Belarus.
Karol Karski, an MP from Poland's Law and Justice, is to table parliamentary questions on Russia's war games and has protested to the European Commission.
His colleague, Marek Opiola MP, said: "It's an attempt to put us in our place. Don't forget all this happened on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland."
Ordinary Poles were outraged by news of the exercise and demanded a firm response from the government.
Which government? Certainly not ours.
And to think, Poland has been willing to join every alliance with the United States, and the shitheads in power now do this to them? That is a fucking disgrace.

The one-year-old, known as Baby RB for legal reasons, was born with a rare, genetic muscle condition that makes it hard for him to breathe independently.
The father is fighting a hospital's attempt - backed by the mother - to withdraw his son's life support.
The father's lawyers argue that the boy's brain is unaffected.
This means he can see, hear, interact and play, they say.
Despite having to remain in hospital and being dependent on a ventilator to breathe, he enjoys having stories read to him and listening to music, according to the lawyers.
They are submitting video footage to the court, which they say shows him playing with his toys.
So, in essence, British Healthcare wants to kill a ONE YEAR OLD CHILD because of a health condition? Yeah, I am abso-fucking-lutely sure that this type of shit won't happen here, right? No wonder the left attacked Sarah Palin's "Death Panel" claims. It's because they were true. It's because shit like this happens in countries where rationed care takes place, and anybody who believes it couldn't happen here is naive, foolish, insane, or a Democrat.
Oh, and to the leftards who support Obamacare, I really, really, really, really fucking hope that you are presented with a choice such as this with one of your loved ones presented to you by a bureaucrat. I fucking hope that you have to know what it is like to all but have the power over your loved one's fate taken away from you. And I really fucking hope you realize that trying to play God with someone's life is best left to the Big Man himself, and not to some empty suit behind a desk somewhere in Washington.
Fuck you, O-care advocates. Fuck you with the life support systems you try to remove from people. After seeing a little one writhe in agony yet agony today because her fever came back overnight, I am in no fucking mood to have some assfisting goatsehumper tell me about "quality of life". And if anybody does, what I do to them will become an internet verb.

Well, what about this, a proposed tax on pacemakers and wheelchairs? How will that help the people who need that shit the most? Now, in fairness, Grayson is not pushing this particular part of Obamacare (that we know of). But he has become one of the more vocal supporters of the legislation, so that means he and others like him need to be held accountable for proposing stuff like this, especially And especially since he serves in a state that is Old Folks Central. I'm sure they would love to hear this.
So fuck you with the lit candlesticks that Liberace used to put on his piano, Obama supporters. I hope you enjoy a new career starting in 2011 if you push this crap.

Here is the best part.
Negotiations on a final Senate bill are set to resume today with Reid, Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and senior White House officials. Republicans have not been invited to participate in the talks
Yeah. Fuck Olympia Snowe for siding with the Democrats. And fuck any RINO who helps this piece of shit bill get through. May you get sodomized on a daily basis by a baseball bat covered in barbed wire. That is all.
Thanks to Veeshir

“The point is this, and it really needs to be made: Fox is not just another television network,†said Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), a close Obama ally. “Fox has become the official/semi-official voice for the Republican Party, in opposition to the president. And I think calling them out is the only way to delegitimize them as political propaganda.â€Okay, let's stipulate something here: Fox leans to the right. But (and you can see where this is going from a zillion miles away, unless you took a wrong turn and ended up here from a lefty blog) ABCCBSNBCCNNNYTWAPOLATETC,ETC,ETC are the voices of the Democrats. Durbin, while I'm sure he misses this point, doesn't realize that when Obama went on all the other networks' Sunday shows, actually legitimized conservative concerns about liberal bias in the MSM.
Asked if he would follow Obama’s lead and boycott Fox, Durbin said, “I don’t know that I’d never go on Fox, but I will tell you that when I go on, it’s with a clear understanding that this is not a news network. This is the closest thing to the Republican Party’s official voice on television.â€
The thing is, I don't really have a problem with that bias. No, really. As Sen. Judd Gregg says,
He's right. If you go back in history, there were papers that were for Dems and papers that appealed to GOPers. Then, somewhere along the line, the idea that news outlets had to be "objective" slipped into news. Coincidentally (or not), this happened along with the rise of Journalism Schools and an influx of baby boomers into newsrooms.
I've rambled far too long here, but the thing is that "objectivity" in news is a sham. Until we get robots reporting the news, it will always be a sham.
Also, would the White House be attacking Fox News if it was a piddly little operation that nobody cared about? Nope. There's a hunger out there for conservative-leaning news (yeah, I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know) so it's disturbing that Obama and his pals are singling out this outlet.
They're not interested in a revival of the Fairness Doctrine, especially as far as talk radio is concerned, right?
Yeah.

Oh, and nice to see that the same media that "thoroughly vets" a conservative and everything they ever wrote or said was willing to run with fabricated lines without "vetting" them. If you so completely and willingly disregarded your obligations as media hacks to practice BASIC FUCKING JOURNALISM proves you are nothing but whores, shills, and probably perverts who travel to Laos to fingerblast a 10 year old boy with a corkscrew.*
*I dunno. But it has not been refuted, so there.
In that vein, I want to bring up some "facts" that, while not completely refuted, may or may not be true:

Initially, I was just going to mock President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, but then this goatse loving Black Belt Wearing Assfister had to open his mouth.
"The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas this morning - in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. "Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize - an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride - unless of course you are the Republican Party.
"The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim," Woodhouse said.
OK, Mr. Woodhouse, let me respond:

An internal review by the board of directors of the community organization ACORN determined that the amount allegedly embezzled from the community organization was $5 million, well more than the previously reported amount of nearly $1 million, according to a new subpoena in an investigation by Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell.
The subpoena, released this afternoon, says, “It is still unclear if some of the monies embezzled are from state, federal or private funds {what do you think?-ed}.â€
Caldwell issued subpoenas in August seeking documents related to Acorn International then-President Wade Rathke and his brother Dale Rathke, who kept the group’s books. Those subpoenas were focused on possible Acorn violations of state employee tax law, obstructing justice and violating the Employee Retirement Security Act.
Hell, even Al Capone was more subtle than this.

(video without background music courtesy of Drew at the Head Moron's)
There's an interesting debate over whether ACORN and its employees had an expectation of privacy while conducting business, and I'm sure the same discussion will arise regarding the privacy of the schoolchildren. It appears that B. Bernice Young Elementary school is primarily concerned with protecting their own backsides, rather than protecting or educating their students.
I found something interesting when I was poking around for assessment data for the school - B. Bernice Young Elementary is a school that only educates grades kindergarten through second grade. So yes, those kids are as young as they look.
There's an interesting broader issue that's coming up as a result of living in a digital age, when everyone has a videocamera in the form of a cell phone welded to their hand. From Hofstra to ACORN to B. Bernice, privacy in semi-public places is about to be redefined.
