Clint Tarver’s hot dog cart, which he has operated since 1996, is another casualty of the union protest against the right-to-work law. Union members destroyed the cart and called Tarver an “Uncle Tom,” among other racist epithets, for serving right-to-work proponents. After destroying the Americans for Prosperity tent, where Tarver was catering hotdogs, the mob turned there attention to the hot dog cart. Source corrected, headline resplit by staff

Comments: I´ve looked for this to show up on the major TV news outlets but haven´t found it yet. The absolute inhumanity made my cry. What is WRONG with these people? There´s a fund raising effort underway to help Mr. Tarver get his business back on its feet. http://www.gofundme.com/SupportClint

Funny. The liberals like to call Conservatives racists. But it´s the Libtards who are using racial slurs. They like to say they stand for "The Little Man", but they are the ones (physically) attacking the perfect example of a "Little Man" simply making an honest living. these hypocrites make me physically ill.

So where are the police while laws are broken and people are threatened? Oh I forgot! They belong to unions too! So much for impartiality and rule of law!

Ann Coulter is right. Leftist ideology is nothing more than an excuse for mob activity. Those who embrace it are immoral and anarchistic.

Quick news search on the net revealed 3, yes only 3 stories about this (one of which is this one).
Media is too busy running "middle class hurt by MI anti-union law" stories.

I´m curious to hear how many people will opt out of the union now that they aren´t forced to join ... and thus save themselves some money.
I´ve read that the dues is about $50 a month.

No sign of this yet in the ´unbiased´ mainstream news, it seems. But the same presstitutes collectively sitting on this story still get mileage out of their unproven allegations that Tea Party protests in 2008 were primarily motivated by violence and racism.
The world has a profound absence of news sources that don´t use spin, omission, image manipulation, or other deliberate techniques to mislead readers or viewers in specific ways. That so many seem to just take on faith what the MSM report, even on partisan issues, makes it almost impossible to discuss events like this with ideological opponents -- because in their world, this racist thuggery simply never happened, because where they watch for news, it will never be acknowledged.

Remember two years ago, Congressman John Lewis accused Tea Party demonstrators of calling him a vile name and a firestorm of hate from the corrupt media rained down on the Tea Party. There was no proof, and Andrew Breitbart even offered a $100,000 reward for video or audio showing this. No one was able to come up with anything. But now, there is video of this man being called names and his cart being destroyed and the corrupt media completely ignores it.

Never hear Republicans call blacks the N-word or "uncle tom" do you.
But listen to these union thugs.
We need to get audio and video tape of this stuff and play it over and over again for the African-american, Hispanic and Asian groups so they can see who the real racists and bigots are in this country.

Officials on Benghazi: "We made mistakes, but without malice"

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
