With all that happened today (Occupoopage, union thuggery, marching Marxists, Black Bloc vandalism, illegal alien protests, LGF TwitterFraud and the Campaigner In Chief taking credit for everything) I’m glad it’s over. Finally the day has come to an end.
And what an end it is, because we have the full back story covered on
The Overnight Open Thread.

@ Lily:
I was trying to catch up on the OWS May Day shenanigans.
Doesn’t appear to be as effective as the OWS’ers hoped.
Educated me if I was wrong -- just a quick perusal of today’s news on my end.
The Obama administration…
@ Calo:
Nope you are right it didn’t reap what they really wanted with a total uprising. Epic Fail again.
Trying to kick-start this thread….where is dorian?????????
Calo I think we lost dorian.
@ Lily:
Heck, I think we lost me.
I’m tired Lily.
Nite.
@ Calo:
Nite {Calo}! I guess I will retire myself.
@ 4 Lily: I’m not sure why they just don’t have a parade for mayday that celebrates the workforce and opens up communications. This random marching just leads to a lot of violence in front of kids.
@ darkwords:
Before I go…May Day is basically a communist holiday. I really don’t think we should make it a holiday here in the US. The mayhem today is because of a election year. All drummed up by all the OWS and the nefarious sorts.
Yep, Mayday is International Workers Day, established by the hardcore communists as a day of resistance to capitalism, and a celebration of the communist way.

I’ve heard there may be some logistical problems with reentry and they might have to put him on a bus to Indianapolis instead.

“Hey, Mr. Taliban, tally me Obama.”
They were thinking about Detroit, but after running the numbers they decided that chances of survival were too low.
Nordberg, what’s he doing in Detroit?
Send him a ticket and clean pants

I had heard that they briefly had considered Butte, but no one could figure out where it was…

To be fair: at that time labor conditions in chicago were inhuman and unacceptable and the workers had every right to protest and to strike against the robber barons.
@ Lily:
Dang. I can’t hang here like I used to. Too much other stuff flying around my ears these days. Bats are no fun.
And nobody liked the “RedRump” punnage enough to mention the brilliance of it all? Nobody wanted to comment on how XCitizen10 completely PWND Charles Johnson and exposed the Twitter spam-report fraud?
@ Guggi:
There were never any such people as “robber barons.” Employers were working within the laws of the time.
@ Guggi:
Nobody forced anyone to work at gunpoint. Inhuman conditions? You’re reiterating a modern myth. Was it tough work? Yeah. Were the workers enslaved? No.
@ Guggi:
Do you think labor was tougher anywhere else in this country at the time? It’ wasn’t. Chicago labor activists/thugs just happened to have a knack for telling the workers that they could make demands of their employers by force in lieu of negotiation.
The laborers could have moved on if the pay was too low or the conditions were unacceptable… but they didn’t. That’s the key.
@ Bunk X:
To clarify my opinion, what the unions did in the early 1900s was a good thing, because they forced the federal government to enact laws to protect the workers from exploitation and hazards. Once those laws were in place, the unions had no further purpose, except for their own economic interests. Today they have no purpose other than extortion.

You just told me that there was no such thing as “robber barons” and now you claim that there were indeed exploitation and hazards and some regulation was in need ?
John Galtung (this piece of sh*t) about Breivik and Israel:
Good morning Comrades. I bring you greetings from our
Maximum Leader, President for Life, Barack Obama.
Loyal Cadres took to the streets yesterday to expose
the greedy capitalists and advance Glorious Revolution.
Our Comrades in the Media continue to advance our cause
while omitting inconvenient information that could only
confuse the masses.
Our disinformation campaign on behalf of the Dear Leader
is showing grest success and has not yet resched full
power.
Continue to read our talking points every morning to
confuse and mock the reactionary forces.
I wish you Hope & Change. No wait that’s not it.
I wish fou “Forward” or something.
Good Mornin All…make it a great day!
Morning. (quite a rump)
So, McCain shows interest in missing tourist:
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/05/01/mccain-to-look-into-case-yvonne-baldelli-american-missing-in-panama/?test=latestnews
Would have been nice if he had shown an interest in live POWs

@ spinmore:
McCain & the collaborator John Kerry traveled to Hanoi
about 10 years ago & visited their War Museum where American
deaths are celebrated.
McCain actually embraced his now aged captors who tortured
him.
The stated goal was to promote trade. I wonder if
the two Johnies negotiated commissions for their efforts?
McCain was a heroic young man , but he is a disgusting
old man.
betcha I could make that rump roast////
@ RIX:
in the interest of ‘full disclosure’
-- i have praised McCain (here) for his service to country and for what he endured in captivity.
Since, i just finished reading the book “Kiss The Boys Goodbye” by Monika Jensen-Stevenson (c)1990
. . . my head is still reeling from what i’ve read about live POWs in S.E. Asia
If, as Senator, McCain (and others) have ignored the plight of live Americans in VN and surrounding countries -- SHAME on THEM!
(i have a book on shelf by McCain -- “Why Courage Matters” *laughs/shakes head*

Good morning all.
@ PaladinPhil:
sorry -- i am unable to make any representations with regard to your comment (haha)
@ RIX:
my understanding (evolving) is that many of these ‘official’ acts (the visit you mention) along with the ‘release’ of some remains (bones) from the bone-bank, are part of the distraction from the underlying shameful act of abandonment of real, live, American captives.
