VIOLENCE: Message equal to inciting riots

SEIU's Stephen Lerner is quoted from the video clip at the Progressive Summit, telling unions, community organizers and students (Sept. 20) to promote nationwide violence. Here are his words:

"We are heroes, who need to create a crisis... we need to escalate protests, break laws, occupy abandoned houses and spread the crisis all over U.S."

Now I'm all for freedom of speech, but this is inciting a riot in my book. We've lost our moral compass if we just stand by and allow this kind of "Freedom of Speech."

It's unconscionable and if we say or do nothing, it will be like giving these "Progressives" a green light to show their hate and disdain for all true hard working Americans.
