SEIU Is Organizing Prayer Vigels Now…
Far left organizations and SEIU thugs are now holding prayer vigils for big government and socialized health care outside of Senator Lieberman’s home.
leftist goons
The radical left is now threatening Joe Lieberman and his family at his home for his stand against nationalized health care.
The far left Stamford Advocate reported this on the protest:

Quietly holding candles, hundreds of clergymen, congregants and reform advocates lined the sidewalks outside Independent U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman’s Stamford home Sunday night in a show of support for universal health care.

“When we heard not only would he vote against it, but he’d use his power, his position as a swing vote … to block it from coming to a vote, we had to send a message so he knows people who vote overwhelmingly favor the public option,” said Rabbi Stephen Fuchs, of Congregation Beth Israel in West Hartford.

In September, Lieberman told The Advocate that while he supports health care reform, he would not vote for a health care bill that included a public, or government-funded, option.

The pro-Obama Connecticut SEIU branch helped organize the event outside Joe Lieberman’s home.
They weren’t just praying. They were chanting outside his home:

Last night they brought candles… Tomorrow?

    This is one of the methods that ACORN used to obtain funds through the Community Reinvestment Act. ACORN would picket the homes of bankers as one method to get their banks to fund ACORN’s mortgage activities. That is one of the serious reasons that America’s banks are faced with such large mortgage losses.

    Love how the left thinks that they can speak for ALL Americans. They spew how the “majority” wants this or that. One evening recently I was watching a debate on Fox news and the Lefty repeatedly stated that the 50% “majority” wanted the public option healthcare. Now, I don’t know where they went to school but I am pretty sure that 50%, a MAJORITY does not make. Gotta watch those Lefties, they’ll spin just about everything that comes out of their mouths.

    probably the same group of people who will justify their vote for a corrupt unethical politican because he brings home “the bacon”.
    can’t possibly let our so-called ethical code stand in the way government freebees. and how many in that group realize that it might not be some unknown millionaire funding the
    healthcare – but themselves.

    This is scary to me. The majority of Americans want to live freely. Even the leftists because what they really want is control of everyone else but themselves.
    This is not about healthcare, it is about control.
    Until we are honest about that, as a country, these union protests are going to get uglier and uglier. The left is very close to winning a lifetime goal and they are getting pretty ugly towards anyone or anything threatening that.
    The Teaparty movement must continue.

    just how will union members, government workers, etc make out under government healthcare reform. and if the seiu [under such a reform] is exempt – what the heck are they doing being involved with any of the arrangements. how valid is a demonstration comprised of people who will be held to different standards. throw a few lawyers into the mix since the administration is adverse to
    firing up the trial lawyers with tort reform……

    It would be initimidating to have groups outside your house. I think the left does it quite often. Do any of the groups to the right picket in front of peoples’ doors?

    I guess that initimidation mainly belongs to the union mentality. I am distressed these “clergy” are becoming more and more social. I understand the history of MLK and the involvment of churches, but many churches today are primarily concerned about social justice. I left such a church because there was no spiritual direction, only political events to attend. It seemed to me this was a group of people who had a political agenda and just happened to meet in a church.

    I also find it ironic these groups push a moral reason to pass this legislation (and they ask for help from religious organizations), however, religion has no right for display in public…right? What in the world are these clergy thinking?

    I think they have a right to do this, just like a Tea Party protest, BUT what concerns me is when you do this at someone’s private residence, it’s very threatening. And when you have a national union harrassing people every time they disagree with this administration, you have a major problem. SEIU needs to be dealt with now.

    Texmom,

    I agree completely. The only thing objectionable about this protest was the venue. This should have been taken to Lieberman’s offices. The threat is a subtle one. So subtle that many of those who participated in the protest may not even be aware of it. But you can be sure the organizers were aware of the message they were sending. And the message to Lieberman is that they know where he lives and that they are willing to invade his privacy. A reasonable man can infer that, should he remain opposed to their position, subsequent protests may not be so peaceful.

    Well, now that we know what the rules are, we should be willing to play by them also.

    I’ve been thinking over the past few months that the cause of liberty might require that people gather outside the homes of elected officials (and others) in the dead of night and keep chanting the official’s name. If the SIEU is doing this to Lieberman, we should be doing this to the leftists.

    Highlander, I don’t think the threat was even remotely subtle, which is the point I believe they are putting forth. As you say, they have the right to protest peacefully, and it should have been held at his CT offices, NOT at his home. When people target people’s families for anything, there is nothing peaceful nor legitimate about their intent.

    He’s my Rabbi. When he invited congregants to attend the Sunday protest and said it’s time to stop children dying in the streets. Oy Gevalt! I consider him to be a ‘conversative’ish’ because of his strong support of Israel, but on health care – ugh! Unbelievable!

    I wouldn’t call him a dhimmni – he doesn’t belong to “Rabbi’s for Obama” (which another CT Rabbi does). Unfortunately the majority of the Reform Jewish community needs to wake up and realize that Christans & the Right Wing are not the danger to us & Israel but the Left Wing & DNC.

    You can see the change in the DNC by looking at Sen. Lieberman. Where he was once the mainstream he’s now a “right wing” Democrat.

    Mike,
    What do you mean when you say you are “100% supportive of health care”? Do you think the rest of us don’t like “health care”? Do you think we want to prevent people from getting “health care”?

    Do you know enough about the bill that narrowly passed in the House to know if it will actually result in more or less health care?

    The lefty Dem politicians play on a phony dichotomy: “We support health care. Our opponents–because they’re against our plans–obviously don’t want people to have health care.”

    It’s a dishonest game that cynical lefties are playing. “Health care” is just their avenue to vast power.

    Look what happened to Lou Dobbs. One bullet was able to get him off the air. The Left has always used violence to accomplish its agenda. From the Brownshirts enforcing a Socialist ideology in Nazi Germany, to the Cultural Revolution and the Khmer Rouge, violence in the cause of Socialism has been one of the hallmarks of those who share the values of the American Democrat Party. Now that they have a Fuhrer, they will be much more prone to make threats and violence part of the political process.

    I’m not speculating, they have already used violence to silence political speech, and now they are intimidating a public official’s family and children in a less then subtle fashion. Unions know that they have a long history of violence and murder. I’m sure they count on that to make Joe Leiberman think about what has happened to so many who opposed Union power in the past.

    The best part is that these are the people who will be exempted from the Socialist Health System. With no skin in the game, why do they care? I think that is a great question to ask the Madrassa Messiah. Maybe someday he will be caught near enough to a real journalist and far enough from a Tele-Prompter to be asked.

    20 years ago, who would have dreamt that Socialists in the US would be allowed to stoop to the tactics of tin-pot dictators in banana republics, and dysfunctional third-world backwaters, and yet here we are. We have our own brownshirts brandishing guns at polling places, shots fired at news comentators who disagree with the administration, and now we have Senate members threatened in their homes? How long until Obama rolls the tanks over the Tea Party Movement? Perhaps the Chinese are advising him on how to deal with citizen protesters?

    And have a look at the history of mysterious deaths/murders, with timelines, associated with politicians.

    One of the reasons I like him is that he doesn’t push politics – it was an announcement that came at the very end of the service and lasted all of 2-5minutes. I wouldn’t put up with it if it was more – like the Rabbi for Obama.

    Being conservative politically and being a non-orthodox or Hassidic Jew is difficult. But I don’t have to agree with my Rabbi on everything: 2 Jews, 3 opinions.

    Read Norman Podhoretz’s “Why Jews are Liberal” at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203440104574402591116901498.html

    BUT I am shocked and troubled that they went to Lieberman’s house. However if SIECU and Acorn organized or helped organize it -then that’s the answer.

    There was no mention that it was going to be infront of Lieberman’s house. Or it could be I missed that part because of my brain exploding. I only heard: “Sen. Lieberman.. blocking public option…we need healthcare…..dying children….Sunday.. Stamford…. in front of Stamford __ school.”

    You would be right…if of course there weren’t Union thugs standing in front of the man’s HOME. Protesting and holding a vigil in DC, at his office, on the campaign trail, at a clinic, anywhere but at his house. Showing up at his house is a threat. It’s the equivalent of the gangster (and the Unions have a looooong and well documented history with them) saying “We know where you live, pal!”

    That’s not Joe’s home, in the sense of people having homes they live in. It’s just an apartment in a high rise that he keeps in his home district and sometimes spends a day or two in. He had one in New Haven for years but for some reason got rid of that and got one in Stamford a year or so ago. Joe and Hadassah’s HOME is in D.C. and has been for years. And his “family” certainly isn’t living with him in Stamford — they’re grown and moved on.

    [The progressives want to turn us into them, to make us feel as deprived and depraved and deadened. It’s the only way that they can silence the roar of shame and self-loathing.

    What they don’t understand is this: it’s not going to happen.
    There are too many of us who won’t be hypnotized.

    We can see right through them. We know who they are: the most piteous of human beings, and the most dangerous. Men without a country, orphans far from home. The forsaken and disowned.

    They’re “hungry ghosts,” to use a Tibetan phrase: tormented
    beings who are starving to death from their inner nothingness.

    Mother Teresa was once asked how she coped with serving the poorest of the poor in Calcutta. She responded that what she saw in the cities of the United States was much more disturbing, because it was a “poverty of the spirit.”

    Poverty of the spirit. No truer words can be spoken of the progressive Left.]

    Again, maybe a little louder so it can penetrate the layer of tea that clearly leaked from the bags you oafs hung from your hats down into your wrinkled old ear canals; Leiberman doesn’t live there. And these are people praying. Peacefully. I like how you all put quotation marks around “clergy” here too. ‘Cause if it’s not our faith it doesn’t count? No one was intimidating, no one was hurt, no one was exploiting the images of the dead from Dachau either. So what’s the real problem? You’re all terrified of unions? Corporations are certainly going to look out for Americans, not like those mean nasty union “thugs”. Oh, and speaking of thuggery, what’s with the recent obsession with that word around the wingnut sphere? Could it have something to do with it’s connotations in hip-hop lexicon? Maybe a little race baiting? Wait, I spoke too soon, your brave patriotic compatriot spotted a “muslim hat”, call the DHS and round everyone up before they hurt poor Senator Leiberman’s empty apartment with their violent prayers. You people are cowards. Grow up. Stop playing war. And think. About what’s good for America. All of it.

    Is this now the new thug in town? They bring in Islamic crowds? youtube has some excellent videos of what happens when you bring Moslem crowds together in just the last couple of weeks. I would be a little rattled if these people were standing outside my house.

    Would you?

    It’s the equivalent of the gangster (and the Unions have a looooong and well documented history with them) saying “We know where you live, pal!”

    And they are telling every kook in the world where he lives. If anything should happen to Leiberman or his family, their hands are clean, right? It should be against the law to use these tactics against one of the lawmakers in this country. It is wrong to use these tactics to influence how a member of congress votes on a bill. I would think the police would disburse this crawd as a public nuisance and an invasion of privacy. Besides, the neighbors must love all this hoohaa. If someone can call the police to break up a loud party in someone’s home, why wouldn’t they break up a crowd chanting outside on the street. It is all disturbing the peace.

    amongst many other things i called Obama a Pontius Pilate a long time ago..

    [Pilate is a type of the worldly man, knowing the right and anxious to do it
    so far as it can be done without personal sacrifice of any kind, but yielding easily to pressure from those whose interest it is that he should act otherwise. He would gladly have acquitted Christ, and even made serious efforts in that direction, but gave way at once when his own position was threatened.]

    fits him like a glove..

    PJ:
    You probably won’t even see this comment, but LEAVE your synagogue.

    This IS political, and to show up at a person’s home to protest is untenable.

    How would YOU feel if a mob showed up at your doorstep chanting?

    Your Rabbi is disgusting, in my view. I would NEVER follow a man of such hate.

    re: [“muslim hat”]

    just a sample:

    “I am not a Muslim, I never was a Muslim”

    Barry Soetoro; Indonesian Citizen; Religion Islam

    You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change. And that is why Barack has captured the youth. (music) And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That’s a sign. When The Messiah speaks, the youth will hear. And The Messiah is absolutely speaking.

    truth sarc on/

    for some strange reason (not) , all YT vids have gone “poof”.. can’t imagine why, i mean Farrakhan said Obama was “groomed” to be a “Unifier”, how are we going you going to create a Kingdom right here on Earth if we know truths are being swept under the rug??

    /truth sarc off

    Obama .. a crusader for the cause of Islam.

    re: [Moslems demonstrate for socialized health
    care outside of Senator Lieberman’s home?]

    Obama Administration Stacking the Deck with Islamists

    [Mr. Abdul-Malik is actually very proud of the political tarring and feathering he does as an imam at a mosque (classical Islamism) in Northern Virginia and in fact predicts the utility of soon a Muslim candidate for a ‘full-fledged candidate for President”:

    [..] our thought would be to run a full-fledged Muslim candidate for President. In which all the questions would not be about the economy, not about jobs, healthcare – it would be about Islam.”

    [..]

    Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto.

    [..]

    “…even under the pressures that you and I know about, the deen of Islam is growing because people see even within all of this struggle it is better to be a Muslim under these conditions than to be a kaffir under any conditions… before Allah closes our eyes for the last time you will see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America-that’s where we are now- to being the first religion in America.”]

    Wake-up Call: Islamists Insert Themselves into Healthcare Debate

    [Thus, while members of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) front groups in the United States will certainly not be carrying cards identifying themselves as Ikhwan, their ideologies can be easily identified. What is particularly identifiable is not only their ideas but the way that they use the banner of Islam or “Muslims” to advocate for any and all domestic or foreign policies within the Islamist agenda. It is sad that to this day it remains rare to find active leading American Muslims who take these organizations like CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) , MPAC (Muslim Public Affairs Council), MAS (Muslim American Society), or ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) to task for their “grand deception”. The deception is that the majority of Muslims agree with any of their stances that identify their comprehensive Islamist political platform under the banner of our faith of Islam. Regardless of their denials, they cannot avoid the fact that their use of the terms “Islamic” or “Muslim” in their organizations is exploitative when they weigh in on non-faith based policy debates and are advancing the agenda of political Islam.]

    well, this shows that Glenn Beck is not a fruit cake, when he talks about Andy Stern and union bosses thinking “when the power of persuasion does not work, the persuasion of power will”?

    That’s communist bull crap for greedy people? If you are in politics, you always need a good front yard where you can burn some grass clippings (or a few bales of hay, dropped off by good old boy farmers in the wee hours of the morning, or hidden in your secret bunker, for such occasions?)?

    You know what I do when people start partying outside my house all night making noise? I get out Joel Osteen tapes (or the local gospel radio program) and I put a stereo speaker outside so they can hear it. They can hear the word of God (and they quit acting stupid, rarely does it happen again).

    Tammy – I don’t know if you saw my later post about Norman Podhoretz’s article in the WSJ. But basically it’s a systemic problem.

    The good thing: One doesn’t follow their Rabbi – he’s a teacher and he leads the congregation in community prayers.

    I can’t and won’t defend his position on this issue.

    The proof -is in your post.
    I watched the complete video…I never saw a muslim hat or any thing else muslim.

    Even so, there are many muslim Americans who support Health Care Reform.

    So you hate muslims, jews and anyone who doesn’t fall to their knees when the see Sarah Palin!

    Clearly these lefty communists were up to no good! I mean, look at those candles! Geez! You could really hurt someone with those. Then I guess they’d expect that if someone was burned that the Government should pay their hospital bills! What a bunch of losers! Sarah Palin shoulda flown over them in a helicopter and shot them like she does those wolves in Alaska! Don’t these people have jobs like hard working Americans should have? I know I get up at 7 every morning, go to McDonalds to eat 5 sausage egg and cheese biscuits. Honk at anyone who has a peace themed bumper sticker and go to my job. These hippies need to get a life. OF COURSE THERE WAS A MUSLIM THERE! B Hussein Obama probably told him to go there on some crazy special watch that they all use to communicate with each other. Palin 2012!
