Every kid, for reasons we can never explain as adults, remembers something forever that didn&#8217;t even happen to the kid&#8230; Every one of you has a memory of something that happened in the news when you were a child that seared its way into your memory. And you have no idea why. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was seven years old. I remember this man&#8217;s name &#8212; <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Victor_Riesel\">Victor Riesel<\/a>. He died in 1996. He was a reporter that investigated mob infiltration of the union. How corrupt the unions were.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was seven, I remember hearing on the radio that he had sulfuric acid thrown in his face and he was blinded. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking at a story <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.tv\/seiu-friends-storm-dc-home-of-bank-lobbyist\/\">here<\/a> about a mob of union supporters outside a banker&#8217;s house [in Washington D.C.], frightening his teenage kid who locked himself up in the bathroom. This thugish union, SEIU, typical of what happens when a lot of unions get a lot of power and they are protected by the government.They, like others on the left, feel the right to bully.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So they went up to the house, screaming, chanting, yelling, up to the porch, to the steps, of the banker&#8217;s house. Fourteen busloads of people shipped in by the thugs at the SEIU union.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying they will throw sulfuric acid in anybody&#8217;s face. I&#8217;m saying I remember what unions can do when they&#8217;re vicious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am opposed to demonstrations against anyone&#8217;s home, right or left. Anyone. The notion that your home is not your castle, that we can bring politics and intimidation to your house, this is a left-wing policy. Does anybody know conservatives who have lined up and screamed at the homes of people they&#8217;ve differed with? If so, I&#8217;ll condemn it right here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This doesn&#8217;t happen on the right where you go intimidate the children and the families of people you differ with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the irony. It was against a guy at Bank of America, Greg Baer, who&#8217;s a big Democrat. I wonder how long he will remain so foolish. Democrats did nothing against this demonstration. The Washington Post didn&#8217;t even report it. The tea party they call a mob, but a real mob of leftists, this rent-a-mob, this is never covered. It&#8217;s not covered anywhere in the mainstream media. No news program covered this. But if one person yells one alleged epithet out of 20,000 people at a legitimate rally, not in front of someone&#8217;s house, then the right-wing is a mob.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The idea that your home is your sanctuary, there is no sanctuary for the left. Everything is power. Everything is politics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles has an equally vicious union &#8212; <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.rabbis.org\/news\/article.cfm?id=100889\">Rabbi Avrohom Union<\/a> who runs the <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.rccvaad.org\/\">RCC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under the <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.getora.com\/\">direction<\/a> of the volatile <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hershel_Schachter\">Rav Herschel Shachter<\/a>, and with the cooperation of all the Orthodox pulpit rabbis in Los Angeles, including Steven Weil at Beth Jacob, Elazar Muskin at YICC and Yosef Kanefsky at Bnai David-Judea, the RCC recruited Orthodox Jews to repeatedly march outside the home of <A HREF=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?cat=17550\">Meir Kin<\/a> (who lived with his parents) to protest his failure to give his wife a <em><A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Get_%28divorce_document%29\">get<\/a><\/em> (Jewish divorce). The rabbis widely publicized Meir Kin&#8217;s home address.<\/p>\n<p>Meir Kin was willing to give his wife a <em><A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Get_%28divorce_document%29\">get<\/a><\/em>, just not through the RCC but through a beit din in Monsey. <\/p>\n<p>These demonstrations were thug tactics typical of L.A.&#8217;s Orthodox rabbinate and the RCC. I hope these rabbis who assisted in these intimidation tactics live long enough to have protest marches outside their homes on equally complicated matters as Meir Kin&#8217;s divorce (I have no position on who is right and wrong in this divorce, I just think that marching outside someone&#8217;s home is wrong).<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that stopped these marches of intimidation, to the best of my knowledge, is that I repeatedly blogged about them and called the rabbis bluff.<\/p>\n<p>When you fight back hard against bullies, they often learn manners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On his radio show May 20, 2010, Dennis Prager says: &#8220;I want to tell you a story here.
