VIDEO – Obama’s SEIU/ACORN Pitchfork Brigade In Chicago (UPDATED)
October 27, 2009 | 1 Comment
President Obama’s ACORN/SEIU army has been called into action in Chicago to protest against greedy capitalist bankers.
Don’t expect any sob stories about the angry and un-American nature of these protesters.
In the clip below, the angry mob occupies the lobby of a Chicago hotel, until they are removed by the police.
And below is a clip from earlier in the day. It is kinda psychotic in a cult like sort of way.
Here’s Senator Dick Durbin addressing the crowd the night before the protests:
“We need to ensure that the robber barons that are responsible for this recession don’t get away with creating it and then declaring themselves a dividend,” -Dick Durbin October, 25th 2009
And look…Jesse Jackson attended today’s rally. Now the shakedown can really commence!
Just more pitchfork politics as usual.
UPDATE:
Here is Tribune coverage from Chicago Breaking News:
“We are at a crossroads in this country,” said Thomas Balanoff, president of the Service Employees International Union Illinois Council. “There shouldn’t just be recovery at the top, there should be a recovery for everyone. The people are angry and they want the banks to be held accountable.” [READ MORE]
That’s the same Thomas Balanoff who in 2002 was honored by the Democratic Socialists of America at their annual fundraiser dinner (pictured below). The article failed to mention the ACORN-SEIU connection.
UPDATE II:
FDIC Chair Sheila Bair addressed the SEIU/ACORN crowd:
