Meanwhile, the liberal media appears tone deaf to the lies, hate, anger and violence coming from the left. When Obama instructed his minions to "push back twice as hard" against those who opposed Obamacare, black conservative Kenneth Gladney was beaten and sent to the emergency room by SEIU thugs. Clearly, Obama's new enforcers are misinformed flash mobs of black youths attacking whites across America.

Blogger Adam Shriver with St. Louis Activist Hub has a detailed account of yesterday's testimony and notes that during cross examination the attorney for McCowan and Molens grilled Gladney on a tidbit first exposed by Daily RFT: that Gladney was at the health-care forum to sell Tea Party mementos, not give them out for free as suggested in earlier account. The defense also hammered Gladney on why he was seen walking around virtually unscathed in the immediate aftermath of the fight only to show up in a wheelchair two days later at a Tea Party rally.

The second witness, Sandra Himes, told jurors that she heard McGowan call Gladney the n-word, which seems a bit unusual seeing how both McCowan and Gladney are both black.

And while Shriver saw the preponderance of the testimony as damaging for Gladney, right-wing blogger Jim Hoft painted an entirely different picture of yesterday's trial. He writes on his Gateway Pundit that the the SEIU union packed the courtroom with "thugs" aimed at further intimidating Gladney.

In the end, the winner of the trial may come down to the best actor. Gladney appeared in court yesterday in a neck brace, telling attorneys that he'd recently (and conveniently) undergone surgery on his back for an unrelated matter. Molens, meanwhile, appeared in court looking like a "greaser" from The Outsiders. Kevin Killeen at KMOX tweeted yesterday that Molens sported a black shirt, no tie and duck tail hair.

There have been approximately 11,600 incidents of union violence against workers, management and the public since 1975.

That's nice, but it has no bearing on what this discussion is about unless you provide a link. When you copy and past, then it is crucial that you provide a link. It's called honesty and integrity. Try it.

no, management isn't filled with "special people", but they are the ones who make it possible for those "average joes" to earn a living. for any enterprise to get off the ground there must be a sizable investment of capital. to keep it running there must be someone to organize and manage its affairs. those managers and investors are taking on a significantly larger share of the risk and the responsibility. don't you think they deserve a larger share of the reward? well, i know you don't, but any rational person would. the average worker is fodder, an expense in production that is only worth as much as he puts into the goods or services involved. that may not be a very pretty way of looking at it, but that's the way it is. without labor, more fodder is simply trained and put in place. without management the enterprise folds, labor ceases to exist and the entire business must be started from scratch.

this notion that all our efforts are of equal import is a load of crap. we are spoon-fed this pablum by the populist horde, but we know it's not true and we don't want it to be. we want to know that our ingenuity and our extra efforts may be rewarded. the very idea that a dock worker should be given the same esteem and perks as the people that oversee him and make his work possible runs contrary to maintaining a healthy and productive workforce. we need to know that the rigors and expense of our schooling, our years gaining expertise and even our natural talents may gain us some amount of security that is denied those who merely show up for work, limp along and collect their salary at the end of the week. we need to know that with added responsibility comes something better.

When I read your posts, I'm always impressed by how intelligent you sound. It's very easy to sound intelligent when you're attacking a straw man. In this particular case you're arguing against equal compensation at every imaginable level of the corporate structure. You imply that duke's position is that the CEO, the investors, the executives, the general laborers, and the janitorial staff should all be compensated identically. Was that his position?

Some might think that a position so preposterous doesn't deserve a response because it would be so redundant that they themselves would risk ridicule by putting it out there. By merely making the argument one could potentially earn the nickname "Captain Obvious" or even receive a "No shit, Sherlock" response. I'm inspired that you were willing to take that chance in order to be sure that all of us understand why it would be unfair if the President of the company and the guy who cleans the shitter earned the same. Thanks for the enlightenment!
