SEIU Busing In Thugs For Coakley

by Stephan Tawney on January 16, 2010

SEIU, the mega-union best known for resorting to physical violence in pursuit of pushing a far-left agenda, is busing in thugs to Massachusetts in hopes of helping a flailing Martha Coakley. It’s sad news, considering many of the rank-and-file workers are actually, and understandably, supporting the more independent Scott Brown.

SEIU has stepped up its involvement in MA in the waning days of the race, sending hundreds of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D).

The union, one of the most powerful arrows in the Dem quiver, is spending $685K on TV ads touting Coakley and slamming state Sen. Scott Brown (R), and a spokesperson for SEIU says it will have 300 volunteers on the ground on Tuesday.

The heightened activity has some GOPers on edge, and at least one group is worried SEIU could be taking over for ACORN as a top organizational tool benefiting Dem candidates.

“This whole thing is turnout, and this looks like the place the SEIU-ACORN folks turn on the turnout machine. They did it in Minnesota, successfully,” said David Norcross, chair of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

The RNLA will send its own volunteers to MA for Election Day, with plans to monitor polling places to prevent any fraud. The group got a tip that SEIU-sponsored buses would be taking voters to the polls, Norcross said.

How long before the Obama Administration-protected Black Panther Party members show up to intimidate voters?
