Assault of the New Storm Troopers: another cute acronym

The Seattle Times: "2 radio towers in Washington state toppled"

Two radio station towers near Seattle that have generated intense local opposition were toppled early Friday in an act of sabotage that bore the initials of the radical Earth Liberation Front. An e-mail from the North American ELF Press Office, which has represented the shadowy group in the past, says the towers for KRKO-AM were torn down because of health and environmental concerns.

Thoughts.com: "Obama, Acorn and SEIU in charge??"

(...) After you watch them, please get as many black people as you know to watch them (...) >>>

The Health Care Reform debate (the SEIU is an ACORN tentacle) and other issues:
Team Obama called out their goon squad this week to beat down the anti-Obamacare protesters at a local town hall event in St. Louis.

Wikipedia: "Black bloc"

"Early this morning, thugs smashed their way into the coffee shop as the manager hid inside the office. As he watched on the security monitor in the office, they daubed racist graffiti and finally lobbed a molotov-cocktail through the plate-glass window. Luckily he managed to make it to the fire-escape and raise the alarm. Fire-fighters managed to stop the flames spreading to the adjacent buildings." "...At Indymedia, it is being flagged up as a triumph of "peace activism" ("Smashing the Israeli war machine - Starbucks, Whitechapel firebombed " is the headline)." "...Depressingly, the news that a shop in London was firebombed and daubed with antisemitic graffiti seems only to have been reported in the local press - and of course, crowed about at Indymedia."
