Kansas: Female Lawmakers Sexually Degraded by AFL-CIO Union Thugs on Their Way to Vote on Union Bill…
When this is all said and done unions are going to be about as popular as cancer with the American public.
(Topeka Journal) — Kansas Republicans accused organized labor activists Thursday of forcing female legislators to endure sexually explicit and degrading comments while passing into the House chamber before a vote to end automatic deductions from paychecks for union political causes.
Democrats and a representative of the Kansas AFL-CIO disputed the GOP claims, and both sides pointed to video evidence to support their interpretation of events.
House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, said the vocal crowd crossed the line by engaging in salty commentary outside of the House chamber and by shouting inside the chamber when the paycheck bill came to a vote.
“There were comments of sexually explicit nature directed at both female legislators and female staff,” O’Neal said. “That’s the most disrespectful display from the gallery I’ve seen in 27 years I’ve been here.”
He said two union sympathizers attempted to intimidate a male House member into voting against the measure, which was passed 75-46 and forwarded to the Senate.
As word spread of tension on the third floor of the Statehouse, House members were instructed to enter the chamber by a back staircase. No one was injured, and there were no arrests.
The Kansas Republican Party fired off a news release blasting “union thugs” who “brought their street tactics to the Kansas House” where they offered a “taste of the bullying tactics being employed by unions across the country.”
“This conduct has no place in Kansas, especially not in our Capitol,” said Amanda Adkins, chairwoman of the state GOP. “Unfortunately, this only provides a glimpse into the ‘negotiation’ style preferred by these agitators.”
Adkins called on the Kansas Democratic Party to condemn the “threats and sexually degrading comments.”

Watching these commie thugs dig their own graves has been nothing but priceless…and that IS exactly what they have been doing everyday now.
Miracles do happen!
Thank goodness the Sleeping Giant AWOKE!
Btw..Screw NOW & ilk…they will remain silent, who the hell needs them or ever did.
They are all going DOWN!
Kansas is mispelled in the header
Mark Levin just played an audio of the House Democrats in Wisconsin booing and shouting after the Budget Fix Bill passed. The new civility!
Zip- Howdy….One more little thing, you need to add an ‘S’ to Kansas.
DID the Democrats disavow the sexual harassment?
I’m a (non union) teacher, and former correctional officer (coincidentally, in Wisconsin) and you guys have no idea how long I’ve waited to see these MF’s in the union get theirs. Years of taking my money and spending it on Dems despite my objections; basically telling me to get bent. Now, eat shit assholes! BTW, there are many good teachers and COs out there too, and they deserve respect. But these contracts are burying us.
Can we call that hate speech and get them arrested?
So far the goonions have done everything the Tea Party has been accused of.
That’s why they accuse us.. it’s what they would and are doing so we must be the same way.
Sick and disgusting pigs.
Do you see the guts on those men. Looks like half of them will only be able to find their dicks with a GPS tracking device?
Just saying.
Zip.
I’m pretty sure I like Cancer more then these people right now.
What exactly was said? Whatever was said to the women needs to be made public for all to see.
wtf…
I wouldn’t go that far…but it’s iffy.
They are all pissed off because the cat is out of the bag on their money laundering scheme with the demo.rats.
They take from the hard working taxpayers, give their union dues to demo.rats to milk the taxpayers more.
Commie bastards–
Iron Maiden…I’m with you there, wished there was a video- I may try to look later myself, as I’m real curious too.
wtf & DG:
They are the cancer.
The really sad thing is that none of this thuggery and ‘new civility’ surprises me anymere.
*anymore*
hey Republicans….WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING USING THE BACK STAIRWELLS AND COWERING FROM THESE ASSHOLES?!!!
Get out there and EXPOSE these thugs!
All of this corruption is being blasted into the public arena. You would think that the Union Public Relations people would have a handle on the situation. This whole episode is screaming out that they are so desperate, they have lost control.
This is a good thing for Americans who do business and want to start a business. Without Unions, prices and services will be more affordable. I hope the Unions will start to crumble and their political power will come to an end.
Aside from the thuggery, it sounds like this vote was pretty easy for Kansas. Excellent news and excellent example for all the other states to follow. So, goonion members, looks like you can call off your Saturday protest in Kansas, huh?
@katy… Exactly…
What’s up with the Republicans? Where are they? And even when you do see them they look like brooding malcontents. They were literally harangued on the floor after a vote for God’s sakes, and they filed out looking like they were completely emotionless about what was going on.
Of course, this is the 64 gazillion dollar question, which is why it is that those of us who happen to be left out and forgotten by both “parties” are left scratching our head wondering what the heck happened…
But I think the technical term for it is theft. Of course, I could be wrong about it, but that’s what I think they call it when people become programmed to hate one another by overt commie propaganda in the godforskaen, lying SOS media. That’s what the whole deal is – self-hatred.
And meanwhile, we’re being robbed blind. Call it what you like, folks. That’s the effin’ deal…
Maggie…
Hear, Hear! You summed it up perfectly.
’nuff said.
katy, with all respect, if I were a Republican rep faced with the choice of walking through that mob, I’d take the back stairs too. There’s a real chance violence will be done on the Republicans with one or more being hurt or killed. Once that happens, expect NO support from the police, media, GOP or anyone else. Republicans NEVER stick together for that kind of thing. Have you seen ANYONE other than the blogs rush to really support the now what – half dozen people from the Right who have had violence done to them over the last week?
Where are the videos?
You can get a refund of the portion of your union dues that are spent on politics. Go to unionrefund.org to find out about it and apply for the refund on-line. This is due to the Supreme Court’s 1988 Beck Decision.
Here is the site again: http://www.unionrefund.org.
I just found out about this this week.
May the next line those mouthy parasites stand in be the line at their local unemployment office.
Unions are the guarantors of mediocrity.
The tolerance and diversity crowd showing the court of public opinion that they are nothing more than misogynistic pigs. Commies are starting to lose their grip on reality.
But …. but….. it’s O.K. they’re progressives ! No harm done – it’s not like they are gasp!- Tea Party members!!!
I’m surprised the Topeka paper said anything at all. When I lived in Kansas their collective heads were buried up the dhimmicraps backsides.
Where do you think the sebelius woman got her election from anyway? Did y’all forget she used to be the Governor? She did get elected in Kansas.
In Soviet Union you could see 20 feet high slogans “TRADE UNIONS ARE THE SCHOOL OF COMMUNISM” at the tops of many comparatively tall buildings and on the walls of majority of factories. The phrase belongs to Vladimir Lenin, he thuggiest thug of them all.
The real WTF is O’Neal having been there 27 years.
Where is the main stream media in publishing this story? Guess it’s swept under the carpet like the California Liberals, more than one, asking for Clarence Thomas to be hanged and/or put out in the fields. Gee, would love to see that on national tv/newspaper, but will never happen.
