Report: Protesters Kept Out, SEIU Admitted to St. Louis Town Hall; Updated

by Stephan Tawney on August 6, 2009

Like I said in the last post, it’s amazing how all of this is happening just as the unions enter the fray. Crap is suddenly hitting the fan and violence breaking out. The latest is out of St. Louis:

SEIU & Castor organize a townhall and announce it at the last minute as to reduce opposition voices. The townhall was packed 1/2 w SEIU people.

When supporters of healthcare freedom (ie, anti-BigGovHealth demonstrators) were prevented access to the townhall they began to shout, bang windows & doors.

Which just adds to the likelihood that the violence at the town hall in Tampa was started by some union or far-left thug. They’re getting desperate, so they’ll use whatever violence, corruption, or intimidation tactics they need to in order to shut down the dissent and pass ObamaCare.

What’s next? Maybe we’ll get to see the government banning town halls meetings or denying permits for anti-ObamaCare protests. It’s a logical brick in the road to shut down opposition to socialized health care.

It would appear that the left’s call to arms has brought the cockroaches out of the woodwork.

Update: Amanda Carpenter points to a memo from the pro-ObamaCare Health Care for America Now that says members of Congress “need cover”. As Allahpundit says, stacking the audience with friendly SEIU members would qualify.
