Obama Crony: Opposing Card Check Is a Terrorist Act
Posted by Van Helsing at February 1, 2010 11:46 AM
Our liberal rulers continue their assault on our language. Like the words racist and fascist, the word terrorist now has no meaning whatsoever, as made clear by the White House's most frequent visitor, the communist thug atop the SEIU:
Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, took a swipe at Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) Tuesday, calling the senators "terrorists" for their opposition to the card-check bill, which Democrats call the Employee Free Choice Act.
"There are a lot of terrorists in the Senate who think we are supposed to negotiate with them when they have their particular needs that they want met," Stern told Bloomberg News. His comments, which appeared in BusinessWeek magazine, apparently were prompted by the senators' reluctance to support the union-sponsored bill.
Card Check means doing away with secret ballots, so that workers can be terrorized into supporting unionization.
Under the proposed legislation, if union organizers can get a majority of workers to sign union authorization cards, the union is immediately recognized in the workplace, with no further discussion or debate — and no secret ballot election.
Opponents claim the legislation would bypass free and fair union elections supervised by the National Labor Relations Board and could be used to intimidate and coerce workers into signing cards that would authorize the formation of a union.
The ultimate objective is for unions and their hard left allies in the government — i.e., Comrade Obama et al. — to do to the entire economy what they have already done to GM and Chrysler.
Naturally, the only people the liberal ruling class won't call terrorists are terrorists, or rather, unlawful combatants who effectuate man-caused disasters.
