An Unbelievable Video of Political Madness

[Swede]

Well! That seems like a fun election night party. Maybe that young fellow is yelling "Drew"? Or "You"?

I'm not sure why this video didn't get more national play in November, when the events actually happened. But it sure is, uh, unsettling, isn't it? Popaditch doesn't seem to think it was so bad:

While Filner was surrounded by a group of Popaditch supporters who were waving signs and yelling, Popaditch, who was present, said he did not see or hear any threats.

"Absolutely not," said Popaditch. "Why would I tolerate that? I'm a United States Marine. I wouldn't tolerate that."

4. Thank you for this info -- Rep. Bob Filner is impressive and correct about keeping

access to our representatives --

however, we have to remember that lobbyists - 1600 for every 1 member of Congress? --

have full time access to them --

Also re this particular event, the necessity for police presence and "gun free zones"

should be stressed --

I would also suggest that EVERY occurence like this be taped so the public can see

what's going on.

Citizens don't want this -- they understand the power of right wing violence to destroy

and chance for democracy.



PS: Just want to make two other comments -- the aims of those financing the T-BAGGERS --

the Koch Bros/oil industry/John Birchers -- certainly have racist and anti-semitic roots.

These are exploiters and would naturally be against human rights and women's rights.

Workers' rights -- labor.

Once the tempo is set for high aggression at these rallies, we can see that behind it is

the call for full right wing violence. IMO, that may have been one of the main purposes

for creating the T-BAGGERS -- i.e., to increase the level of political violence in America.
