"Hate Speech" Now even the MSM is beginning to catch on to the Union Thugs

I have to give it to the Yamhill Valley News Register for this editorial. Although many of us who have been following the Democrats (or is that "Democratics?") closely for the last ten years have seen it already.

Consider post-session comments from a major player in one of those coalitions, the Oregon AFL-CIO. Its spokesman praised legislators for finally helping working people who “have been left behind as corporations cheat the system.” He praised new taxes on upper-income citizens for the benefit to “real Oregonians” and “real people.” That’s the kind of hate speech and class warfare demagoguery that unfortunately explains some political platform planks in Oregon’s ruling party.

Public employee unions were the big winners in 2009, solidifying the Democratic reputation for being in their pocket when deciding key legislation. Somehow, that coalition of lobbyists and legislators became blinded to the strong possibility that Oregonians will reject those tax hikes and leave the state’s over-extended budget in shambles.
