GOP Sen. Jim DeMint Goes Off: Obama Has Stocked NLRB With “Union Thugs”…
“It’s pretty amazing in America that we’re dealing with this type of third world tyranny.”
(Weekly Standard) — Senator Jim DeMint, R-S.C., sat down for an interview with Coffee and Markets, a podcast hosted by Brad Jackson and Ben Domenech. When asked about the National Labor Relations Board’s attempt to keep Boeing from building a factory in his state, DeMint had some exceptionally harsh words for the NLRB:
DeMint: I mean, they’ll lose the first couple of appeals because they go back to the board that the President has stocked with union thugs basically, and –
Cianfrocca: “Union thugs”, may we quote you? That’s a great word.
DeMint: Once this gets in front of a fair and impartial judge they’ll win, but it’s only after millions of dollars in legal expenses and several years of chilling effect.
Cianfrocca: Yes.
DeMint: What they’re trying to do is to tell any company in America, don’t even think about moving to a right to work state or expanding to a right to work state or you’re going to have to go through millions of dollars of legal expenses and this type of government harassment. It’s pretty amazing in America that we’re dealing with this type of third world tyranny.

Hows that for Minty Freshness?
Who is this sheltered liberal interviewer fascinated by the term “union thugs”?
Or does he simply think of what we know as union thugs as “politically active union representatives who happen to shout, swear, and beat those who disagree with them”?
Kick his ass DeMint!
The entire administration is stocked with commie and or union cruds.
Third world tyranny? Yes, that pretty well describes the Obama admin.
I have been praying for a many months that DeMint joins the race for 2012. This man is a true conservative leader.
He’s getting dictated to by the regime and he’s fighting back for his state.
More Please!
DeMint is De’Man!
Nice to see an elected official accurately describing what this regime has done to our country.
I don’t understand why S.C. & Boeing don’t just say F*#K YOU and do it anyway, thats what they do?????
WHAT THE F*#K ( OVER )
all the more reason you ought to run in 2012 Mr DeMint-stop these commie bastards
Yes, thugs.
Fuggin’ union thugs.
I’ve never met a picket line I didn’t – or wouldn’t – stomp on. In fact, I’ve gone out of my way to cross lines even when I had no interest in the business or location they were picketing.
I relish in confronting these goons.
Yup he hit the nail right on the head. Elected officials in Connecticut have been using union thugs to intimidate people at Town Hall and Democratic Congressmen meetings for a few years now. What they do is not let people speak and give threatening looks.These Union Thugs do not even live in the district or town where the meeting is taking place. I think maybe it is time to start treating them like the Muslims. They have many things in common and one of them is to take away the American Way of Life. Let me see, will it be Socialist Law or Sharia Law? All I have to say is that if this ever comes to a shooting conflict to defend our freedom and Republic, I would not want to be a Union Thug, Muslim, Liberal College Professor, Abortion Clinic Employee, or belong to a political party that begins with “D”.
Right on! Need 100 more GOP officials saying things like this.
Slaves once had to go to a lot of trouble and danger to escape to a free state from their southern Democrat masters.. today business is deemed the slave of the Democrats and their union cronies and it takes a lot of trouble and money to escape the slavery and set up business in a right to work state. We need an emancipation proclamation for business owners.
Hell yeah! Give it to the basturds! Kick ‘em in the teeth!
I enjoy giving big to DeMint’s Senate Conservative Fund; my money well-spent, he gets results.
The gravy train is running out of gravy folks.
The interviewer is just salivating to get that thug quote into print. What a “Chalaque” …a friggin’ “Smart Alec”….probably trained by the master himself. Hope this doesn’t come back to bite DeMint.
Just had a scary thought. Does DeMint’s comment mean he DIDN’T see Toonces coming?
I’m tired of politicians waffling around in their speech. That’s why I love Allen West, and have always respected Jim DeMint. Now more than ever.
Republicans will never get rid of the label “wimps” until they speak the truth always, regardless of the consequences.
He has stocked everything with thugs. Jim Demint is one of a handful I would keep in gov today. I mean that literally. The fact that I am conservative,doesn’t mean for a minute that I don’t want to clean out the friggin traitors and RINOS. They can’t get it through their heads that they are being very closely watched,by everyone. We will never take our eyes off these crooked bastards again.
This is an example of why these departments need to be shut down. They are doing nothing but bullying American citizens. Add this department to the TSA, Dept. of Education, EPA, and Dept. of Energy. They need to be closed forever. When we have the chance it has to be done. We need Conservatives in the House, Senate, and White House. Then we need to take a hammer to the place. The government isn’t here to provide jobs for these people. They’re going to have to learn to survive outside.
NJK, you left out FDA, DEA & BATF who have no reason for existing in a free society.
DeMint de man. USA USA USA
