Amid calls for more civility in politics, the president of South Carolina’s AFL-CIO has been caught on tape bashing a pinata with the face of South Carolina governor Nikki Haley as a crowd cheers and encourages her.
“She looks like a tough old girl, here” Donna Dewitt, the union official, says while adjusting the pinata for a perfect smash.
“Well, whack her harder!” says an unnamed voice. “Wait until her face comes around, whap her!”
After the “head” spins from a direct hit, Dewitt lets out a “woop!” and the crowd yells: “Give her another whack! Give her another whack! Hit her again! Hit her again! That one’s for me!”

After the likeness falls onto a nearby table, Dewitt proceeds to bash it with her purple bat until it’s flattened.
The national office of the AFL-CIO is not pleased with its South Carolina president, according to the Free Times.
“Do you think we can get this video pulled,” a national AFL-CIO official reportedly asked in an email to Palmetto State union sources.
Apparently, there were concerns it would be “picked up by tea partiers, maybe even Haley herself, to attack labor again.”
While the original video (which shows the metaphorical beating of the governor once she’s down on the table) has been disabled by request, you can still watch it on YouTube.
Otherwise, here is a different angle that shows most of the event:
Seemingly oblivious to the desires of her union, Dewitt issued a comment to the Free Times: “[Haley] has been whacking at us since she realized how much money the business PACs can contribute in South Carolina…We felt justified in taking a whack back.”

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 9:35amI used to belong to a union. The shop and the Steward just looked for ways to get out of work or how to get more money for less work. Then I changed my job to a non union one. I got better benefits and a pleasant place to work. I gladly worked for my money and felt good about it. The owners listened to our suggestions (the unions call them “Grievences”) and worked with us to make things better for all. You can get more by taking ownership of your job than whining about everything. The owners treated us better than any union job I ever had.

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 4:24pmShe is showing her ignorance and stupidity in bashing Niki Haley, while following the union’s habit of destroying anything or anyone who stands in their way. There is also an implied threat of future repercussions, if they do not get what they want. Unions do serve a purpose, but sometimes they can ruin a good employer, with demands he can’t meet.. The union members are forced to pay dues, but their money is used, by highly paid Union leaders to select a candidate, member may not.choose to support. Wheres the fairness and unity in that?

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 5:14pmI’ve worked pretty hard all my life,…..at times working 2 jobs trying to get ahead enough to save a little to put into a savimgs account! The only time I can ever remember being told to “slow down, you’re working too fast”, was by a union rep. back in the 60′s, when I was in my 20′s! I asked him if he was serious & he said, “absolutely, you’re making the other guys look bad!!” I asked him why he didn’t tell the other guys to work a little faster, & maybe they wouldn’t look so bad! I have NEVER had any use for a union! I’m sure they have done some good for the American workers over the years, but it always seemed to me like the only jobs they ever saved, were for guys that should have been fired anyway!!

Uncle JZS is here to answer all your questions. The seer of seers, the prognosticator of prognosticators, is at your disposal (5 cent deposit on all glass bottles).
You are most wise to seek my adulations.
Having attended many gatherings with Donna Dewitt, or as she is so affectingly known in her close circles as Dowanna DEMwitt, let me assure you that this gathering was one of her largest. I counted at least 12 people attending. Which is hard considering our clan was only taught to count to 10.
Firstly, I’d like to point out the refreshments; 2 large jugs (bottles) of Whine and a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
Secondly, I’d like to point out the colors; a purple (SEIU) aluminum bat, purple (SEIU) and black (NAACP) cloth used… as the victim (Nikki Haley) is dressed in the same colors.
Thirdly, this denotes a “complex self mutilation syndrome” or “CSMS” that the participants are unaware of as they SMACK or WHACK the “purple piñata”. Apparently, self psychological mutilation or SPM, is at the heart of this massive gathering.
I dare not say more at the present time least my under-cover status is revealed.
Ask Uncle JZS…. If you need or can handle the truth.
