Apparently hoping that voters will be too afraid of getting beat up by the SEIU goons, ala Kenneth Gladney, to attend and let their voices be heard. Hey, Nancy? How’s that most open, honest, and ethical Congress evuh working out for ya?
The rats have been hiding behind pediatric wards at hospitals and “prayer vigils” thus far, so the latest shield shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Tim Bishop (D, NY-01) is having something called a “health care reform rally” on Thursday, at (of all things) SEIU’s Hicksville NY offices (1199 Duffy Ave, starts at 1 PM). This is otherwise known as “over twenty miles outside the borders of NY-01.” Bishop is of course one of the first Democrats holding down a Red district (NY-01 is a R+0) to discover that his constituents are paying attention to his votes: he rather famously canceled his future in-district meetings. Presumably he assumes that his constituents won’t drive twenty miles to complain.
As Michelle Malkin says, “When you can’t stand the heat, hide behind the Purple Shirts.” They can’t stand the heat, so they’re hiding behind the SEIU thugs.
