When one screws with people's rice bowls, one can pretty much expect the gloves to come off.

Obviously it was an attempt at intimidation of both an elected official and a company doing business with that official. It's an indication of to what degree stupid people will go in attempting to win and which side uses it to their advantage.
As long as there is a media that will report things like this, doing it will be counterproductive because ordinary people don't approve and will reject it by becoming more politically active than they otherwise would've.
Can you document that? Link please?Obviously it was an attempt at intimidation of both an elected official and a company doing business with that official. It's an indication of to what degree stupid people will go in attempting to win and which side uses it to their advantage.

Like WI Republicans offering shots to bar patrons who sign recall petitions against WI Democrats? Yeah, I agree. That's some sleazy shit.
WTF does that have to do with unions? No one buys into the GOPs BS after the lies about ACORN.
WI School Employee Threatens Business For Selling Gas to GOP Official
A Sheboygan gas station owner is baffled after a mystery caller tells a clerk it's a bad idea to do business with a Sheboygan-area state senator.
It started Tuesday when a woman called Dick Hiers's Northeast Standard gas station after she thought she saw Senator Joe Leibham there. Her call was caught on the answering machine.
The answering machine here in the back of the store was left on from the night before and was recording the entire conversation.
Caller: "Can you verify that was Senator Leibham at the gas station this morning?"
Gas station clerk: "Senator Leibham?"
Caller: "Yes. Do you guys support him?"
Clerk: "I have nothing to say about that, I am not politically involved."
Caller: "Alright, well you can tell Dick he's not good for business, I'll tell you that."
Shocked over the 26-second conversation, Hiers quickly traced the call -- only to get surprise number two.
"And it turned out to be coming from the Sheboygan area district school office," he said.
It turns out it wasn't the senator but his brother at the gas station.

Can you IMAGINE the furor had this been done by ANYONE on the right?
The left would be screaming now about how this proves the "violence" coming from the right.
But the unions are doing this right and left and the liberal media treats it as a "trivial matter"--hardly worth page one status.
Another example of the fact that not only is the violence and the "violent rhetoric" really coming from the left, SO IS THE STUPIDITY.
A Senator's brother buys gas and that means threats?
First it attacking innocent business by the name of Koch Bros, now it's going after a Senator's Brother.
That's some real brain trust you got going there in the unions, huh?

hay scab
unions fought hard for their gains , you have no fucking idea of the benefits you have because of unions , grow up bitch and be thankful for what the industry did not want you to have .
and quit blaming unions for greedy companies moving off shore the republican did that .

So you approve of union thugs threatening private businesses?
I approve of everybody who stands up to bullies, lad.
If that sometimes means that workers stand up to corporations acting like bullies so be it.
But much more typically it's the corporations which resort of violence, and the historical record is rife with examples of them sending assasins to kill union leaders, calling our corporate thugs to shoot down working, and calling in their political debts to bring in TROOPS to end strikes, too.
Do you approve of those things?
I'm guessing you do.
So, given that there are so many people like you?
DYeah, I approve of unions defending themselves.
Without doubt, I do.
