Liberal Left, Blames American's For Prosperity and Tea Party For Union Violence

The progressive news blog Electablog, run by Chris Savage, is running a fairy tale story on their blog.  They are blaming American's For Prosperity for tearing down their own tent, Clint Tarver for destroying his own Hot Dog Stand to profit, and Fox News Reporter Steven Crowder was there to incite violence, not record history.

In their article, Electablog states that Clint Tarver is lying about the person in Guy Fawkes mask saying that no person was near the tent.  Yet in their video trying to prove that AFP took down tent you clearly see the person in Guy Fawkes mask at the 1:04 minute mark as shown below.

The article also singles out Stacy Swimp who is a well known African- American Conservative activist in Michigan and President of the Fredrick Douglas Society and Howell, Michigan Tea Party Leader, Wendy Lynn Day.  

Stacy Swimp responded to the liberal attack on him and Wendy Lynn Day by saying:

"Liberals are saying that the Americans for Prosperity-Michigan supporters pulled down their own tent.

Of course, the are now attacking Clint Tarver and anyone else who has testified against union racism and violence.

They talk EXTENSIVELY about me in this article and others that I have seen. One liberal "Doctor" said "Swimp was clearly in charge"! lol!!

They have a video clip of me telling Wendy Lynn Day to go inside the tent and claim that, at the same time, people in the tent where asking folks to leave.

What they do not know is that my major concern was getting Wendy and the women out of harms way, as the men started getting more and more aggressive. Wendy, Amy Hagerstrom and any woman who was near me, can tell you that I focused especially on making sure they were safe.

I had no way of knowing what was going on inside of the tent, until I entered it shortly after, which I did realize it was now moving towards evacuation.

Ironically, liberals are not accusing me of any wrong doing, except to say that I intentionally wanted to move women in the tent to make it look like they were victims! Lol!!

We will not allow these lies to discourage us.

Truth crushed to the ground will rise again!!"

If Americans For Properity were responsible for the destruction of their own tent, please explain this video:

“An hour after the Americans for Prosperity tent is destroyed on the Michigan Capitol lawn, a demonstrator in a Teamster jacket cuts shards from the tarp and hands out as souvenirs,” reads the video’s description.

Why were they collecting “souvenirs”?

According to one woman in the video, AFP workers were holding signs accusing union workers of being “sleazeballs” and “lazy.” However, there is no evidence to back up this claim.

Meanwhile, unions and their left-wing allies have accused AFP of staging the whole thing

Video: Michigan Union Members Say They Didn't Detroy Tents Video Shows Otherwise

Representatives from Michigan Unions protesting right to work are saying Americans For Properity cut down their own tents during the protest.

The videos below tell the whole story.

Video proof of Union Thugs destroying property. Many have stated they have never seen union members take down a tent so fast. Typically this would be a two day job for them.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews Harrasses American For Prosperity Worker

After being litterally beatup and having their tent torn down, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews beat them up again on Tuesday night. Scott Hagerstrom , Michigan State Director for AFP, appeared on Matthews’ show to a barrage of questions regarding his salary. While the discussion was to be centered around the right-to-work legislation passed in Michigan, Matthews seemed to be more interested in beating up on Hagerstrom. “Who’s paying your salary?” Matthews questioned repeatedly after accusing him of working for the Koch brothers. Hagerstrom remained calm, replying “I work for Americans for Prosperity…This is about freedom for everybody.” Hagerstrom tried to explain that AFP is a nonprofit organization funded by over 3,000 donors. Matthews responded rudely with “Who’s that?” “I came here to talk about the policy, and this is about freedom, this about economic liberty,” said Hagerstrom before being interrupted again by Matthews. “Who’s paying your salary?…No, but who’s paying your salary to do it? Who’s paying your salary to do what you’re doing right now?…Who’s paying your– to do this today?” said Matthews, preventing Hagerstrom from finishing a sentence.

Capitol Rally Information

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012 from 10am until 3pm - conservatives continue their efforts to support their Senators and also turn their attention to support their Members of the House of Representatives. Anytime from 10am - 3pm, MAKE TIME to join fellow conservatives in the large white tent on the southeast lawn of the State Capitol. (If you want to go into the Capitol and you brought signs, you will need to leave your signs outside in the tent).

Ideas for signs:

Labor Freedom
Workers Choice
Right to Work 4 MORE
Unions Limit Income Workers Right to Choose
Bring Jobs Back
Indiana RTW-250,000 new jobs
Additionally (specifically from We the People of MM):

***Again, tomorrow is a very important historical day for Michigan. We would love for as many of our tea party people as possible to be there to speak with representatives and senators and make sure they remain committed to RTW. Americans for Prosperity and several other conservative groups will be there to help guide you through the day. They are located in a large white heated tent on the south lawn of the Capitol. If you cannot go in a group, please just stay at home and make phone calls and send emails. This is important too. We know that there is going to be a union presence there. The difference between those in favor of Freedom to Work legislation and pro-union protesters is like night and day, truly. This comment has been made by many of our lawmakers. They need to hear from and see those that support them but we do not want anyone to be in harm's way to do so. We have every right to be there, it is our Capitol too. Use your discretion to decide how you might help in this historic, important measure for our state! God bless Michigan!***
