Epic Fail: ‘Climate Change Voters’ Attempt To Protest Scott Walker NH Cruise

Epic Fail: ‘Climate Change Voters’ Attempt To Protest Scott Walker NH Cruise With ‘Floating Iceberg,’ People Dressed As Moose

Before Walker went on a fundraising cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee, Americans United For Change (AUFC)—a liberal organization—announced it would be organizing a counter-protest to Walker’s cruise. A couple things made this different than any normal protest, however. First off, the people “protesting” Walker on global warming—who they called “climate change voters”—would be dressed as moose. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, they’d be on a “floating iceberg” behind Walker..................................

...........In fact, the protest was so successful that Sirius XM’s The David Webb Show host David Webb—who was on site on the Walker cruise—told Breitbart News the iceberg only tipped over for a little bit.

“Here’s what happened: When they tried to keep up with the M/S Mount Washington as it departed the dock, they flipped the raft over and the Marine Patrol had to go rescue them,” Webb said in an email.

Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, who’s working for the Walker for president effort through his public relations firm Shirley & Banister Public Affairs—specifically right now for the pro-Walker Super PAC Unintimidated PAC—told Breitbart News that the floating iceberg was a “ship of fools.”

“I’d also say they need to get a job but who would employ them?” Shirley said in an email...........

Scott Walker Is the Worst Candidate for the Environment

"Scott Walker is killing it with Republicans. The Wisconsin governor is one of his party's rising stars—thanks to his ongoing and largely successful war against his state's labor unions, a fight that culminated Monday with the signing of a controversial "right-to-work" bill.

Now (for the moment, anyway), he's a leading contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. At the Conservative Political Action Conference a couple weeks ago, he polled a close second to three-time winner Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), beating the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by a significant margin.

It probably won't surprise you to learn that none of the prospective GOP presidential candidates are exactly champions of the environment. Probably the least bad is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who at least acknowledges that climate change is real and caused by human activity. Walker just might be the worst. He hasn't said much about the science of global warming. (In the video above, you can watch him tell a little kid that his solution to the problem will center on keeping campsites clean, or something.) But his track record of actively undermining pro-environment programs and policies while supporting the fossil fuel industry is arguably lengthier and more substantive than that of his likely rivals.

"He really has gone after every single piece of environmental protection: Land, air, water—he's left no stone unturned," said Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. "It's hard to imagine anyone has done worse."

Here's a rundown of Walker's inglorious history of anti-environmentalism....................."

Sounds like a candidate I could love.

WOW, just another reason for me to despise Crispy Crème.

If they were really serious about Globull Warming, they would have used a Rowboat.

Check out the pics linked in Post #2.

It looks like they’re balancing on an inflatable that’s balanced on pontoons.

What a missed opportunity - they probably could have saved a lot of money by dressing in horses' asses costumes (after all, half of a costume must be less expensive to rent than a full costume, and it would have been so much more appropriate and symbolic - especially since typical Demo-Commies love nothing more than engaging in phony juvenile symbolism when putting on their foolish stunts)...

I fail to understand why these various whacko groups believe that some absurd street theater will change public opinion.
