Melodrama.

What a thoughtless remark, overheated, overblown. And in the current conditions in our country where there is too much blood being shed.

Shame on Geiss.

Great. Now reject Obamacare, Rick!

Where do I sign up to help fight these union thugs?

He should be arrested for trying to incite a riot. The unions are no more than the mafi extorting money from you so you can work for someone else. Tired of the union mentality, 5 people for a one person job.

It worked well in Wisconsin for them. Might as well try it again.

#5 evidently you haven´t heard of this rule. "If" we start acting like them then THEY WIN. s

YUP! Bring on the thugs!!

That about sums up the left. "If we can´t get it legally, we´ll use violence."

Some female dem leader was on Greta the other night complaining that the Republicans were conducting business behind closed doors and that the public had a right to participate in the hearings. Yeah, we saw how they "participated" in Madison - Lansing promises to be even worse.

There is more to life than what we learned in kindergarten, #7. Sometimes, the bad guys need to be confronted, and on their own terms. That they tend to run soon thereafter is the rule we would do well to remember here.

As a currently unemployed Michigan resident, I applaud Gov. Snyder and Michigan lawmakers getting this through. The time and place for unions are long gone, they are now just thugs using over 90% of the dues collected to make sure Dems get elected.

So true #10. If you don´t face a bully down, he will continue to bully. Republicans in DC need to start learning this lesson.

GRRRRRR ! One of the Dem representatives said it´s such a bad plan ~ the reporter said ~ what about Indiana ~ she replied ~ they have higher unemployment and more people on welfare in Indiana than we have here in Michigan. I heard that and said to myself ~ GOD ~ the look right in the camera and lie through their teeth ! Does she think we are idiots ! ??? We could only hope to be as well of as Indiana is. Get a clue ~ but they don´t want a clue ~ they want that Union $ to keep flowing into their re-election funds ~ the truth be Damned !!!

Isn´t it interesting that when the dems or unions lose they always threaten violence.

When the enemy is down in the trenches, sometimes you have to get down there with them and fight as dirty as they do. When the bloodshed is over, there will be no more unions. Bring it on and let´s get it over with. With the demise of the unions will come the end of the democrat party as we know it.

I´ll lose a lot of friends because of this, but I´m glad this is happening. I hated the union when I was teaching and I hate it now. Bring it on thugs. I can get down and dirty too.

Yep, likely yours if you start violence...Do you idiots know how many people who are NOT union slugs own guns in Mich?

ITS TIME....Waaayyy past time to give these people a spanking they soon won´t forget!

Is it illegal for a lawmaker to threaten violence and anarchy on the House Floor?

It is because of the unions that alot of the jobs are going overseas

The only function of modern unions is to protect the mediocre worker. That´s all and nothing more.

Michigan teachers call in sick to protest and only 7% of eighth graders are proficient in their ability to read? It seems to be a proper time to fire these teachers who aren´t doing their job anyway.

Union thugs are a slimy scourge of overinflated egos. Their time is over!

Waiting for the battles to begin! I will be happy the libs started it. We can have a civil war with a clear conscience.

#23, boy ain´t that the truth! I had to work in a union environment for a year back in the late 80´s. Protection of mediocrity was everything. They don´t encourage the promotion of good workers over bad. It is all based on seniority, no matter the level of incompetence.

The unions in Michigan tried to amend the State constitution last election, trying to give themselves favored status. Governor Snyder asked the unions to not try that, and he warned them publically that if the union amendment failed, he would pass right to work. The unions went "all-in" for the amendment, but despite $millions of dues spent , they lost by a significant margin. The people in Michigan want right to work, and it looks like they are going to get it.

This is nothing more than terrorism, and should be prosecuted as such. These people are dinosaurs, and deserve their position in the tar pits of history.

The left has always assumed that it owns the violence option in America, and the streets, because historically it always has. Hopefully, they´ll experience a lethal teachable moment very soon. We´re getting to that point very quickly.

And if you think that these pukes are ever going to be "prosecuted," you´re delusional.

Sheep get sheared.

#7 that used to be true. No more. They win because they act that way and the good people will compromise.

No doing what they do does not make us like them. We are defending liberty and they are destroying it.

There is no moral equivalency. Chivalry is tool of the oppressors to maintain control

I hope there is blood and I hope that union members die

#7 The Republicans have used that argument (which in a past time would have worked in our country) to be cowardly and not stand up to these bullies.
