I go with the time-tested dictionary definition of the word "thug" (you didn't say bully) which is a cutthroat, hoodlum. violent person. The historical definition of a "union thug" referred to union members who were physically violent.

Because, you know, that's what those words "mean" when they are used.

Also FYI- $200k to M&I (now Harris Bank a canadian bank) is really nothing and already I am positive that republicans have deposited more money into that bank to offset it.
Good for them! That's a free market solution, to which I'm sure you do not have the same objection as you expressed about the people taking money out.

The manger of M & I got a free VP slot at Harris Bank Chicago after the sale

No one boycotted North Shore Bank(local WI bank) when they and governor Doyle ran a government subsidized home buying program for illegal aliens.
Guess people were not as pissed off then, as they are at Walker and the current GOP group up there.
