As Left Decries Righty Protests, Union Announces Own Upcoming Protests — Hypocrisy Anyone?

Aug7
 

The lefty spin machine is in high gear trying to paint the healthcare protests happening across the country as illegitimate because they are “organized.” Amazingly and hypocritically the left is attempting to make community organizing a bad thing. Yes, all of a sudden after the last four years of their candidate and now president basing his entire campaign for president on his history as a “community organizer,” now organizing in your community makes you a brown-shirted, hatemonger paid off by shadowy GOP bigwigs.

And as this leftist meme is swirling around the country what do we see of one of the left’s largest, most powerful organizations? Why the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is announcing its plans to organize protests during this Congressional recess, of course.

Nothing like condemning your enemies for doing precisely the same thing you are doing, eh SEIU? Do liberals have any shame or conscience at all?

For the SEIU blog, union thug Katie Thomas is touting the SEIU’s idea that “Change That Works demands reform from elected officials,” and is informing us all of the union’s “August Congressional recess events.”

That sounds suspiciously like a deep pocketed, shadowy organization paying professional protesters to swamp members of Congress on their recess, doesn’t it?

The posting starts off with an ominous tone:

As members of the U.S. House and Senate turn their sights from committee hearings and floor votes in D.C., to barbecues and luncheons back home, SEIU’s Change That Works team is ready to ensure they don’t forget the promises they made on the campaign trail to fix our broken healthcare system and support hardworking families.

Gosh… but… isn’t that just the sort of effort the anti-Obamacare protesters have in mind?

Only a liberal can ignore their own similar actions while painting a conservative’s actions as somehow illegitimate.
