Walker had better get used to these kinds of attacks, if he hopes to run for President, as a republican. The only thing they haven’t accused him off is crucifying Jesus Christ, but it’s a long way till election day. They just may make that accusation. Since Walker has defeated them in 3 elections, they are sharpening their knives, and they know, that the Lame Stream Media is going to be on their side, all the way.

I got a idea a drinking game for watching the democratic convention. one drink every time a democratic politician brings up racism two drinks if they name a republican politician while mentioning racism. a drink every time a democratic politician accuses the republican party as hating the poor two drinks if the politician who says this has a net worth over 50 million. a drink every time a democrat mentions a pet project that will increase taxes. two drinks if that project is a obvious political pay back.

I suggest that each night of the convention only one one reason for taking the drink is used because there is a good chance you will get blind drunk watching network coverage of the convention.

To liberals, you’re a “racist” if you disagree with them.

To the charge, I plead guilty.

I do disagree vehemently with them.

I am amused at Roger Bybee’s obvious distress. It behooves us to increase it.

They are yet more evidence that he is following a template known as the Republican Party’s “Southern strategy,” which plays to white voters’ racial resentment, even though his budding presidential campaign is based in snow-encrusted Wisconsin.

The MSM is throwing everything at Walker; they must be hysterical!

But the leftist playbook is long on name calling, character assassination, the blame game, the race card, etc. nothing with substance.

Look for more as the evil ones go into a full court press and magnify anything and everything they declare as "important" as the agents of Satan continue to struggle to report something with "traction."

Remember, according to racist leftist dogma, only whites can be racist.And whites can be “racist” by just existing without any conscious effort to be racist.

In fact, MLKs classic words about judging people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin is now “racist” if blacks are judged negatively for any reason and not always positively by the color of their skin.

Orwell anyone?

First, it has to learn to speak to fears over income inequality without committing to a specific agenda and limiting its course of action once in office.

The supporting data are there; one need only condense it with sources. I suspect Dave Brat did exactly that, so it might only need minor tweaks to go national, if any.

I heartily agree!

NOW we MUST educate our elected officials - Be FEARLESS! The Left isn't as big and powerful as they believe - have them see, that if Walker can do this in Wisconsin, THEY darn well can too! The American people are SICK TO DEATH of this!

“The trick for Republicans in their quest to maintain white majoritarian hegemony is to allow this fusion of issues [racial fears and resentment, economic instability, social conservatism] to do its mobilizing work at a subliminal level, without triggering widespread resistance to explicit manifestations of bias and race prejudice.”

Just read this one attempt at making a rambling string of words into a cogent thought that is almost a sentence.

What in the hell is a "majoritarian"?

: ) Most definitely "designated driver" territory.

Here's another good one - and "rich" and "wealthy" should be added.

U.S. Union Busting: Who’s Scarier, Scott Walker or ‘Jihadi John’? "When Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker compared labor unions to ISIS his audience cheered. At the end of the speech he got a standing ovation, reported FOX News in an article entitled “Walker draws standing ovation in CPAC address”. His wealthy audience hated labor unions that much.

In fact, the 1% despises unions much more than they hate ISIS. Islamic extremists in the Syrian desert pose no threat to anyone in the U.S., while labor unions pose a direct threat to the profits of the super rich.

Conversely, the average U.S. worker has much more to fear from Scott Walker than any knife-wielding Jihadist. For example, Scott Walker is subtly campaigning for president among the elite by bragging about his successful butchering of Wisconsin unions, a model that he and his supporters hope to spread nationally.

Walker is idolized by the super rich for having dismembered Wisconsin unions in a way that recalls Ronald Reagan’s smashing of the PATCO air traffic controllers strike in 1981. The rich view Walker as a Reagan-like messiah who will transform labor relations yet again, giving corporations still more power in relation to the U.S. workforce.".....................

“They are yet more evidence that he is following a template known as the Republican Party’s “Southern strategy,” which plays to white voters’ racial resentment”

The Myth of ‘the Southern Strategy’ 

“It’s an easy story to believe, but this year two political scientists called it into question. In their book “The End of Southern Exceptionalism,” Richard Johnston of the University of Pennsylvania and Byron Shafer of the University of Wisconsin argue that the shift in the South from Democratic to Republican was overwhelmingly a question not of race but of economic growth” 

-snip 

“To be sure, Shafer says, many whites in the South aggressively opposed liberal Democrats on race issues. “But when folks went to the polling booths,” he says, “they didn’t shoot off their own toes. They voted by their economic preferences, not racial preferences.”” 

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/10/magazine/10Section2b.t-4.html

The Neocons and Nixon’s Southern Strategy 

Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon – who believed that blacks had gotten a raw deal in America and wanted to extend a helping hand: 

* raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent; 

* doubled the budget for black colleges; 

* appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions 
than any president, including LBJ; 

* adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks 
in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and 
universities; 

* invented “Black Capitalism” (the Office of Minority Business 
Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses 
from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business 
loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits 
in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent; 

* raised the share of Southern schools that were 
desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent. Wrote the 
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, “It has only been 
since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation 
has taken place in the South.” 

The charge that we built our Republican coalition on race is a lie. Nixon routed the left because it had shown itself incompetent to win or end a war into which it had plunged the United States and too befuddled or cowardly to denounce the rioters burning our cities or the brats rampaging on our campuses.
