Obama’s socialist SEIU pals lash out at the Chamber of Commerce–
In this video– Andy Stern tells SEIU socialists at a rally across from the Chamber of Commerce that the free enterprise group believes in:

“Old market-worshipping, privatizing, deregulating trickle down economy that took the greatest economy on the earth and sent it staggering forward… I say shame on them… We don’t approve and we have a friend in the White House who doesn’t improve as well.”

From a SEIU rally at the Chamber earlier this year:

Naked Emporer News, via FOX Nation
Andy Stern — SEIU President: “People at the Chamber of Commerce have ruined the country.”

Related… After the recent attacks by the Obama White House on the Chamber of Commerce, the organization that speaks out in support of American business, the president of the Chamber of Commerce stood by his defense of free enterprise today in The Wall Street Journal. It is a worthwhile read. The White House’s war on the Chamber has come just as the group is launching a new $100 million campaign promoting free enterprise. This, of course, threatens the plans of the Obama White House.

    Obviously the answer is a 90% tax on all business activity. That will save the economy.

    Glad to see the leftists attacking the Chamber of Commerce, it’s a fight that is going to backfire and blow up in their faces.

    Dead end Obama supporters don’t think, they just attack anything they perceive to be a threat to the blessed one’s administration. In that sense, they’re like a retarded donkey that has eaten too much gunpowder.

    “”"”"” We don’t approve and we have a friend in the White House who doesn’t improve as well.” “”"”"”

    “doesn’t IMPROVE?” Is that a typo, or an inadvertent Frudian slip from Mr. Stern?

    The “Democratic” Party is NO longer the party of American values. I say this as a democrat, I have been and still am a registered democrat, but the entire party has been taken over by looney lefty radical marxists, with the chief marxist in the WH.

    I finally started watching Fox News b/c I was curious why the marxist-in-chief was afraid to go on that station. OMG! what have I been missing? I learned about Van Jones and ACORN only on Fox News. I never realised the MSM was this deceptive. Fox News is the only one that seems to be asking hard questions. No wonder President Pantywaist is scared.

    I am a new visitor to this site, and this is my first post, I just wanted to write a quick thank you for the site. Betcha you thought you had no democrats visiting here, did ya? :)
    (and liking it)…( and yes, I am a huge sarah Palin supporter!)

    but in all seriousness, the “Democratic” Party is gone, they just don’t realise it yet. If they can make a lifelong soon-to-be-ex-democrat like me disgusted with the direction they are taking this great country, then I am convinced there are millions like me, disallusioned with the “Democratic/marxist” party.

    Keep up the great work! and thank you for this site.

    Don Rodrigo, Stern sure seems to say “improve” in that tape.

    And you didn’t make a mistake. There’s an organization i9n New York you may want to contact. Its title is written right beneath the name “Herbert JC”:

    Speaking as a conservative, I can safely say that all my fellow so-called “conservatives” who are rushing to defend the Chamber of Commerce are complete, unthinking morons. The Chamber of Commerce is an utterly corrupt organization which continues to push hard for so-called “immigration reform”–in other words, amnesty for illegals currently living in the United States and open borders so millions more can enter. It’s good to see them taking a bruising lately, it’s just too bad it’s for the wrong reasons. I hope more conservatives come to realize that the interests of the “business community” as represented by the CoC and our interests as American citizens are at odds with one another in profound ways. The CoC is not interested in defending capitalism so much as it’s interested in turning America into a third-world country in order to exploit cheap immigrant labor. Truly despicable, and it’s truly embarassing that so many “conservatives” uncritically support them in their mission to do so.

    Speaking of commerce,
    The barackobama.com website is obviously a profitable website and claims to be paid for by the Democratic National Committee. Under their “contact us” link you only receive one contact
    http://www.whitehouse.gov
    http://action.barackobama.com/page/content/other_thoughts-start/
    The White House running a politically profitable website? Can someone tell me if any laws are being broken? More importantly who receives the profits? Our President? It is his logo and name after all. My biggest complaint and most important is that if I have a problem with the anti-Semitic content displayed on their website and I want to file a complaint then I must contact the White House!
    I don’t know maybe it’s me.

    Gee whiz, Obama’s slaves attack chambers of commerce in every major city all across this nation. Not knowing that Democrats control almost every major cities businesses. Construction companies that hire union workers are attacked by Obama’s slaves. Can you imagine how mad those union members will be when they’re laid off.

    The really ironic thing is, if McCann and Palin where elected there would be the biggest union expansion through the energy sector in American history. But Obama won and the employers cut jobs and workers pay.

    Who could have seen that coming?

    Union leaching–it ruins economies throughout the world….I mean look at Europe….and the SEIU dares claim that the free market causes problems? Someone needs to ‘disband’ them.

    Unions had their time and place up until around the Korean War era. Following that, their purpose for existing ceased, however they continued to exist and got ever more involved in politics. They currently have no logical reason to exist, all they are are blood-suckers. They complain about jobs going overseas–but fail to comprehend that it’s because they demand people who do the jobs of robots and advanced machinery get paid like neurosurgeons. Ever notice how virtually all unions ‘represent’ professions which don’t require that much talent and brain power? No wonder they are where they are in politics.

    Dale, I would suggest backing the lesser of the two evils in this current war, as opposed to backing nobody and risking a complete defeat. There is a time and a place to strike down those who are in favor of illegals, but with freedom teetering on the fence, that time is not now.

    Think of the Obama administration as the Mullahs and the CoC as Hussein in the 80s. We backed Hussein to halt the advance of the Mullah’s ‘ideas’ and ruin their economy. Had we not, and taken a course of action like you propose with regard to the CoC, then dare I suggest what the ME would look like nowadays? The Taliban would be considered moderates.

    “For more on the anti-semitic content of obama’s site”

    With each passing second, Netanyahu’s comment about Axelrod and Emanuel being ’self-hating Jews’ seems more and more appropriate. If this administration does sit down with Iran and tries to get Isreal to abandon territories, sign treaties and reduce it’s army….they will be going down the dark road to be in the same camp as ‘Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers.’

    I used to deny the “Birchers,” and I don’t mean “birthers,” with whom I roomed with back in my college years. (Stoned Age)

    Now I see they were exemplarily prophetic, and I was simply naive, and thought it could never happen.

    Amazing how things once seemed unthinkable, are now potentialities.

    “But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you’re not gonna’ make it with anyone anyhow…

    You know it’s going to be alright, alright…”

    Doesn’t ring quite so true anymore. What was once an anthem of the left, is now congruent with today’s realities.
