On a day when 3,000 or more unionized Tennessee teachers and their supporters marched on Legislative Plaza in the rain, Gov. Bill Haslam refused Saturday night to get into the fray over a bill to end collective bargaining between teachers’ unions and local school districts......Tennessee’s issues, for the moment at least, are limited mostly to teachers, but Rep. Mike Turner, D-Old Hickory, the House Democratic Caucus chair, said the GOP will likely target other quarry if they’re successful now.
“If they get the teachers, they’re coming after the firefighters. If they get the firefighters, they’re coming after the police officers. If they get the police officers, they’re coming after the construction workers, service workers and everybody,” Turner said.
“I’ve been preaching for years that if you let the Republicans get in charge this is what you’re going to get, and this is what we’ve got.”
Turner publicly urged Haslam to “please stop this terrorism against our teachers.”
Countdown to legacy media calling out Turner for his violent rhetoric in 3... 2... never.
Hat tip: George Scoville.

Democrats have found memories of their terror wing the KKK. Especially in Tennessee ...
I'm starting to wonder if we can find any "moderate" union members.
You know, the ones who belong to the union, but live next door and are the nicest folks you'd ever want to meet; they just want to live their lives like everyone else-- not extremist or given to shouting slogans. You know, moderate Musl. .. er. . . union members.
Its time to realize that the democrats and the unions are running one of the biggest scams in this country. It goes like this. We elect you and then you give us fat contracts. Costs us nothing. We both make money off the backs of the taxpayer. I give money to your campaign and you give me taxpayer money. easy as pie. Since when have unions become the sacred cow when times are bad. Obama says, share in the sacrifice. Guess that only means non union folks like most of us are. The gig is up guys. Start sharing.
When are they going to talk about Terrorism Against the Middle Class. You know, the ones who actually PAY THE BILLS!
Remember the Battle of Athens! Remember McMinn County War!
