The difference between my poster and what these people carry is that the reference to pitchforks came from Odingleberry himself.
I detest liberals and liberalism. It is the greater danger to this country than anything else.

What is happening in Wisconsin is disturbing. Protesters have jumped on the Egypt bandwagon, claiming that “Cairo has moved to Madison,” which trivializes the real brutality and lack of openness of the Mubarak regime, and claims a moral standing for the unions that they simply have not earned. The issue is that the state faces a $137 million budget shortfall (in the short term, and about $4 billion over the long term), and the government unions have negotiated benefit packages for themselves that are no longer sustainable. Something has to give, but the unions and Democrats are working together to make sure that even though the latter have been voted out of power and the former want to keep feeding at the trough, the only ones who give will be the voters and taxpayers. Both the Demcorats and unions are showing that they are absolutely unwilling to bend. As I noted earlier, the Democrats in the state Senate have now disappeared rather than vote, which also allows the protests to keep spinning up.
The protests may spin right out of control. Here are a couple of screenshots from a video posted today at Foxnews.com. They speak for themselves. And there are more in the video.

And that is why all democrats (including blue dog, yellow dog, etc.) need to be defeated at the ballot box everywhere.

Those aren’t crosshairs, those are “civility lines”. /sarc
Where is the outrage from the left wing propagand pimps? SarahPac merely put crosshairs on a map, to denote districts that were being targeted. Nobody’s face was ever put in crosshairs. These lefty union thugs put them across the governor’s face.
public insurrection and should be treated as such.
Okay, that made me chuckle. I'll try sowing that suggestion on some of the "black rifle" forums and see if it catches on. :-)
Don't forget to "celebrate diversity"...
Excellent mini-essay!
I found it interesting that the signs with crosshairs over walker and equating him with Hitler were completely missing.
pray for Gov. Walker’s safety.
