Republicans Cheer Murders of Colombian Labor Leaders

Tuesday 27 September 2011

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…”

And trust me, it isn’t just this one comment over there… go see before they take it down. …

“so Columbia [sic] is doing a good job of getting rid of vermin why is this cause for concern?”
