The Democratic Party and President Obama, who urged the AFL-CIO to get involved in countering the spontaneous unaffiliated citizens at town halls, are getting their money’s worth.

In Missouri today, Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan’s people let Service Employees International Union members in a side door marked “handicapped” and let real citizens with concerns bake in the parking lot. When the main doors finally opened, the SEIU members were already seated in half the seats. Something similar happened in Tampa at Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor’s event in Tampa.

The common denominator? The thug-filled SEIU.

UPDATE: More on that Castor event. I wonder if the media will notice that actual violence has broken out the day after Obama got unions involved in these town hall meetings. Before that it was just righteous and justified anger by voters.

UPDATE: MIchelle Malkin comments on the SEIU connections with Obama.
