Michelle Malkin writes an excellent article this week that details some of the recent violent and physical altercations perpetrated by members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).   The use of heavy tactics against individuals and organizations who disagree with their agenda is standard operating procedure for SEIU “thugs.”  Malkin points out that SEIU President Andy Stern stated of his organization, “(W)e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work, we use the persuasion of power.”  The bottom line is that this type of bolshevistic intimidation has no place in American politics and social life.
