#1 That said, I still don't think I would trust that foreign marque or Bush-stickered cars would be safe in the UAW lot.

#2 None of this changes the crappyness of the original act. There isn't any redemption for the UAW.

#3 "..the many good things the UAW and our members are doing to support and express our appreciation to Americaâs service men and women and veterans.â

Oooooh, allowing usage of a parking lot by vets and members of the military....such a display of appreciation and support by the UAW!

Union jerks.

#4 They'be been donating money and labor for recuperation houses for wounded vets IIRC, as well.

#5 I think maybe the rank and file had some choice words for him...

Still doesn't excuse the guy's (or the UAW's) behavior.

#7 and I have notified the Marine Corps that all reservists are welcome to park at Solidarity House as they have for the past 10 years.

And after two weeks time, when the negative press has finally died down, their cars will all be vandalized to varying degrees. Thugs, pure and simple.

#8 mojo - I think you got the truth of it...

#9 I dunno, mojo. Many comments on the Detroit-area blogs weren't exactly critical of the original decision (and not because the banned cars were made elsewhere).

#10 Would the UAW be donating money and labor for wounded vets who drive foreign cars or who display pro-Bush stickers? I rather doubt it.
