The Real Astroturfers.

I searched Memeorandum in vain for any links to the mob of SEIU members gathered at the residence of Greg Baer, an attorney for Bank of America, until I found this one. Why they chose to single out Mr. Baer's home isn't clear, but I'll bet they didn't realize that Nina Easton is one of his neighbors.

There are conflicting reports about the demonstrators having a police escort and the police in all jurisdictions are all "Who, me?"

The main thing that strikes me is that this kind of behavior on private property, in a suburban residential area with 500 "protesters" is exactly the kind of thing the President and his party and supporters are working hard to convince us that the Tea Parties do, which is a slander. If they held a Tea Party without a permit, trespassing on private property, disturbing the peace and placing residents in fear for their safety, the WaPo, NYTimes and every lefty blogger in the country would be condemning it in full throat and probably calling for Congressional Hearings.

The curious incident of the silence of the press over this outrage indicts it as partisan, biased and cowardly. Apparently the SEIU is one power they refuse to speak truth to. And, as I said before, this "union" is beginning to resemble Obama's version of the Nazi Sturmabteilung, the Brownshirts, who broke heads and took care of Hitler's enemies until they became such a public scandal that he had to disband them and have their head, Ernst Röhm, liquidated in The Night of the Long Knives.
