Union's basher takes online beating after punching Fox News contributorDecember 15, 2012
"Tony," a Michigan union worker whose temper is quicker than his hands, has a serious online image problem.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 876 member was captured on video Tuesday punching Fox News contributor Steven Crowder during a pro-union protest on Tuesday in Michigan's capital on the day the state Legislature approved "right to work" legislation that unions oppose. But posters who flooded the local's Facebook page with comments weren't exactly hailing the hardhat for striking a blow for solidarity. Instead, they heaped scorn on the man for portraying his cause badly - and while wearing a jacket with his first name embroidered on the breast.
"No class at all," one post read. "Their families should be embarrassed by the behavior of these animals."
Another post characterized "violence and intimidation" as the hallmark of unions, while others addressed Tony directly.
"Your actions are disgusting and cowardly! You attacked an innocent man who was only there asking questions," the posting read. "So happy Michigan can now be free from you bullies!"
