47. Sean O'Brian trolled them at their convention to their face.

It was a great speech, and I was a little pissed at first...why would a strong Union leader speak to the scabs that vote against unions most of the time, but he put them on blast, and the Republicans cleared up any ambiguities they've used to keep union members from voting in their best interests.

Toward the end I thought the big hook would come out from behind the curtain, they could not contain their disdain for the working class for all to see on national TV.
