All of them.

2. Yeah, LOOK at that Union thug!!!

using all that free government chalk for writing! Who does she think she is?

3. Projection!

I think the new, Fascist Rule Book requires the term thug to be used in conjunction with union. They are not allowed to use those terms separately, so cut them a break here.

Dismantle, take over: Profit!

The corporate media ain't yer' friend.

This is just another example of those on the right who use words for which they do not know the real meaning.
