Republicans Cheer That Labor Leaders Murdered In Colombia

-- by Dave Johnson

Hundreds of executions in Texas -- Republican crowd cheers.

An uninsured person in a coma -- Republican crowd shouts "Let him die!"

And now, labor leaders murdered in Colombia -- Republicans say "A good start..."

See the comments under an article at The Hill about how many labor leaders have been killed in Colombia -- 15 since the US signed on to a treaty: AFL-CIO President Trumka sends list of killed Colombian labor leaders to Obama - TheHill.com

Republicans are swarming the comments. Example:

What do you call a list of 22 dead labor leaders?

A good start…

I wonder if those killing the labor slugs in Colombia can outsource that work here. BY CANUCK on 09/26/2011 at 19:00

Could we get them to do it here? There are more than enough union thug bosses already. BY DAVID on 09/27/2011 at 10:52
