How do you like what the unions are doing in Wisconsin?

Question

When Obama won he simply tried to ignore the Republicans, and he got the Tea Party for a reaction. The lamestream media had a conniption. Now the left is trying to intimidate the WI governor with semi-riot mob tactics and political chicanery, and are getting praised for their bad behavior by the same media that condemned the right for their antics. What do you think?

Answer 1

Now you are starting to see the double standard that the right has been complaining about for years. I dont ever remember the right going out in mobs like these people are. The tea party gathered together for their rallies and they were called nazi's and worse. The only violence involved with the tea party was when the union thugs showed up and started roughing up 70 year old men.

Answer 2

Ever think that the Governor is acting like a petty tyrant issues fiats about what people can and cannot do?

That this same governor, so concerned about the states budget, passed two more tax breaks for businesses, and wants the state senate to pass another tax break for farmers, in addition to the ones they already have? Apparently the budget is going to be passed on the backs of teachers who have already agreed to the financial cuts and payouts, but want the right to remain in their unions, without compromising the effectiveness of their representation.



There are rights that the people have to protest the actions of their government, and they are exercising them. I don't, by the way see any praise for them by the networks, they simply report the fact that they are protesting, not showing up for work, and why. No "good for them'' or anything of that sort.

Of course with up to seventy thousand people protesting this weekend, and no violence for a week now, its hard to see where anyone could consider this a semi-riot mob. There was more violence at the Town Hall meetings where the Tea Party wouldn't allow people to ask questions.

This seems to be a hallmark of the TP, you can't talk, you can't hold a meeting, its their way and shut up.

Answer 3

If you flip through the news channels the liberal stations are not speaking about hundreds ,ot thousands of fake doctors notes, they try theirbest to hide the hitler, and racist flags...



One thing I always give credit to Bush for is, he defended himself, people tried to get him tp speak about opposition protestors but he always said this there right, he never called them un amaerican..



I like what Wisocnsin is doing, every state should be a right to work state, not a right to work for a union state.

Answer 4

This is why I think all social programs should be shut down in Wisconsin all police schools and fire dpt should be shut down and replaced by a state run military. and if the Unions don't like well the millatary has the right to open fire.

Answer 5

Nice little propagandized slant on the situation in Wisconsin, there, Sparky...but 100% wrong.



What is happening in Wisconsin, Ohio, and elsewhere in Republican-governed locales is an ASSAULT on working Americans for political posturing and power-grab purposes. Unless you are among the elite 2% few to whom the right-wing zealots cater, you will be NEGATIVELY EFFECTED by what the zealot-minded nutjob teabagger is attempting to do in Wisconsin!



I advise the demonstrators to EXPAND their protests to include the state's revenues: Find out where this right-wing kook of a governor banks state revenues or invests and set up informational pickets outside these establishments while simultaneously tying up every single phone, every single teller, and every single branch manager personnel with pure-D crappola from this day forward, preventing them from conducting normal business. Then also have informational pickets outside the banksters' homes and the CEO of Price Waterhouse or whichever investment firm the state uses to let everyone know of the affiliation these big shots have with the union-breaking right-winger who ran on false pretenses. Start a RECALL petition drive, too. And set up BOYCOTTS for any bank, investment firm, or other agencies upon which this Wisconsin right-wing government relies or to whom they gave tax cuts that created the pretend deficits that was a SURPLUS only two months ago. And set up a giant television screen where everyone can see what "The Rachel Maddow Show" broadcast last night of Scott Walker's other FAILURE when he up and "fired" union guards for the courthouse and brought in evangelically-led Blackwater-connected private guards (he unilaterally and illegally PRIVATIZED the security for Wisconsin courts), the leader of whom had a CRIMINAL RECORD---and a process found to be more costly to the state than the supposed "budget shortfall" Walker tried to claim back then---he ended up having the state required to pay BACKPAY to the wrongfully terminated union security guards. This man is an out-and-out KOOK and a CROOK! He needs to be ousted from office immediately. GO UNION WORKERS! GO DEMONSTRATORS AND SUPPORTERS! You are fighting for PRINCIPLE and for our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to assembly, to unionize, the collectively bargain, and to prevent a theocratic COUP by the likes of Walker and his teabagging evangelical cult-driven extremists.

Answer 6

I think you are looking too deep. The union members in WI are fighting for what they believe. The media is covering the protest. I don't see a conspiracy.

Answer 7

It really is the same to you?





Anyone in the crowd packing a gun?

Any waiving a confederate flag?

I've yet to see a Hitler sign or anyone in blackface.

Do they talk secession?
