“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, the White House
In an event reminiscent of the gritty and bare-knuckle days of the early 20th century, when unsavory union bosses in silk shirts routinely dispatched Goon squads to terrorize workers, our President, Barack Obama, is going to the mattresses.
A Black Conservative activist named Kenneth Gladney, was brutally attacked by members of SEIU, the same union who contributed over 170 million dollars to Barack Obama's run for the White House.
Mr. Gladney’s attorney, David Brown, released the following statement:
Kenneth was attacked on the evening of August 6, 2009 at Rep. Russ Carnahan’s town hall meeting in South St. Louis County. I was at the town hall meeting as well and witnessed the events leading up to the attack of Kenneth. Kenneth was approached by an SEIU representative as Kenneth was handing out “Don’t Tread on Me” flags to other conservatives. The SEIU representative demanded to know why a black man was handing out these flags. The SEIU member used a racial slur against Kenneth, then punched him in the face. Kenneth fell to the ground. Another SEIU member yelled racial epithets at Kenneth as he kicked him in the head and back. Kenneth was also brutally attacked by one other male SEIU member and an unidentified woman. The three men were clearly SEIU members, as they were wearing T-shirts with the SEIU logo.
Kenneth was beaten badly. One assailant fled on foot; three others were arrested. Kenneth was admitted to St. John’s Mercy Medical Center emergency room, where he was treated for his numerous injuries. Kenneth was merely expressing his freedom of speech by handing out the flags. In fact, he merely asked people as they exited the town hall meeting whether they would like a flag. He in no way provoked any argument or altercation, as evidenced by the fact that three assailants were arrested.
The Last Tradition hereby holds President Barack Hussein Obama in contempt of the U.S. Constitution for resorting to outright thuggery against the American people for simply wanting to exercise their 1st amendment rights.
These malicious and vile acts of aggression will not be tolerated by the American people. We have fought the good fight against tyrants, despots, fascists, and communists. Our yearning for Freedom always has been and will continue to be strong.
Your despicable tactics will not stand!
Send in as many goons as you want. You will never defeat the forces of freedom and we will continue to speak out.
For as much as you can resort to your Chicago-Style chicanery, or your Rules for Radicals playbook, you will discover that you’ll only awaken a sleeping giant-FREEDOM LOVING AMERICANS!
Samuel Gonzalez, The Last Tradition, 8/8/09
