An good example of opposition foot soldiers getting out the propaganda. Someone on the Walker team seems to be monitoring this opposition work:
Scott Walker presidential campaign, 2016
"Note to administrators: this article has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. [A defense of the offending, deleted Wiki page.]
An interesting dynamic going on.
If I've characterized this incorrectly or inadequately, please help flesh this out.
Scott Walker has been vetted and now they're down to (quite extensively) discussing twisted excerpts and the propriety of re-defining Walker's history.
Anti-Scott Walker activists certainly want to compile a "go-to" page for his opposition to sling dirt. It's an interesting look behind the scenes.
I spent some time going over the items in question and a lot of the talk back and forth between ‘agents’ on both sides of the argument. Clearly, it seems that there are some interested parties involved in ‘edit-wars’ over Scott Walker’s past - distant past in one case, and quibbling about donation amounts and sources in another more recent case.
What this tells me is 1) his opposition - and whoever is backing them (because the level of activity and frequency belies just one interested citizen interested only in accuracy) are paid to do this, and 2) His side are fighting back with equal ferociousness (campaign staff, etc.).
To my mind, a good tactic would be to take note of the Anti-Walker ‘editors’ and then go on over the Hillary’s entry and make some edits and see who pops up on the radar ‘edit discussion’ scene. Based on the level of response, work your way down from there to find out who the anti-Walker editors are working for.
What this should tell everyone is plainly clear - don’t trust Wiki for any unbiased accuracy, especially when it comes to politics.
That's certainly so - and it also shows how hard others work to put out biased, inaccurate information - to get the "headline" smear, that is then quoted and linked and rocketed around the Internet.
They did the same thing to Sarah Palin’s wiki entry when she first entered the national stage. Obama trolls at work.
An activist WI Milwaukee DA initiated a SECRET John Doe investigation of Walker and Conservatives that has raged for 4 years. All emails, the whole kit and kaboodle. Night time raids on conservatives - no one allowed to talk to anyone.

"Since the very beginning of Scott Walker's steamroller demolition of Wisconsin and the progressive ideals that this state has historically represented, the liberal members of our State Supreme Court have done their best to defiantly stand in his way.
On April 7th Wisconsin will hold an election that will likely decide the fate of the Scott Walker criminal investigation known as the John Doe Probe. Up for reelection is Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, a stalwart veteran of our battles with Walker who has held her seat for 20 years. You may remember her as the woman Supreme Court Justice David Prosser choked in anger back in 2011."....
HOW did you do that!??
Thank you.
: )
I’m just asking a question here, not making a statement of belief:
Is it fair to say that Walker has been attacked in Wisconsin as much or more as Palin was attacked in Alaska before she quit?
I think the intensity is the same - since he’s still in office and getting into the 2016 race, it’s gone on longer.
Considering the nature of the John Doe investigation, much worse...
The intensity yes. But what about the number of attacks, especially in court? Palin quit because those attacks were costing Alaska too much time and money. Is it fair to say Walker stood and fought against the same level of attacks? Or not?
One difference is, Palin was hit with multiple lawsuits and allegations aimed at bleeding her dry financially and tarnishing her resume, whereas the Walker attack tried to force him out of office and charge him and others with crimes. They wanted to end Palins political career, but they wanted Walker removed from office and in jail or dead.
Palin quit because of an AK rule/law that required her to pay her legal defense out of her own pocket. It was quietly rescinded shortly after she left.
I don’t understand your point.
They are down to his BALD spot!
That's about the size of it!
OMG!! Democrats are VILE and EVIL and will DESTROY whatever is in their way to POWER.
The John Doe attack goes far beyond what was done to Palin. They were arresting people for pete’s sake. I don’t think the RINOS tried to help walker while this was going on. Just further proof to me that Walker is the real deal.
