Not very common in current times, especially with those unions who are prevented by contract from striking, but hey, hyperbole helps the case I guess.

The weeks of peaceful, non-violent protest in Wisconsin, for example. Yeah, lots of "physical violence" "beating" and "intimidation" going on there

Down with unions! They are the current fad scapegoat! Kindergarten teachers suck and threaten me! The Republicans told me so!
