John Boehner’s second statement in as many days:

Boehner: Obama ‘demagogues’ Walker
By: Jake Sherman
February 18, 2011 02:27 PM EST

Speaker John Boehner Friday accused President Barack Obama and his political apparatus for “inciting” protests in Wisconsin’s captal, saying that the president is trying to “demagogue reform-minded governors.”

Boehner was referencing Obama’s deployment of his political operation, Organizing for America, to Wisconsin, where public-sector workers are protesting Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to strip them of collective bargaining rights.

Boehner said that OFA is “colluding with special-interest allies across the country to demagogue reform-minded governors who are making the tough choices that the President is avoiding.”

“This is not the way to begin an ‘adult conversation’ about solutions to the big challenges facing our country,” Boehner said in a statement. “Rather inciting protests against those who speak honestly about the challenges we face, the president and his advisers should lead.”

It’s the second statement the speaker made in response to the uproar in Wisconsin. This time he took it a step further, and likened the protests in Wisconsin to the Greece debt uprising, but noted that it is “fueled by President Obama’s own political machine.”

“Rather than trying to ‘win the future,’ the president’s political allies are trying, desperately, to cling to a failed past by fighting reforms our nation needs to liberate our economy from the shackles of debt and create a better future for our children and grandchildren,” Boehner said. “The President should make it clear to his friends that the people of Wisconsin, and states across America, can handle their own affairs without Washington special-interest money and meddling.”

Are they not being paid to do the peoples business? If they don’t show up, they should be docked/or made to step down. I’m pretty sure I would be fired if I didn’t show up for work.

HERE’S one we didn’t see coming:

cross-post

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2676052/posts

From JOE KLEIN of all people:

Revolutions everywhere—in the middle east, in the middle west. But there is a difference: in the middle east, the protesters are marching for democracy; in the middle west, they’re protesting against it. I mean, Isn’t it, well, a bit ironic that the protesters in Madison, blocking the state senate chamber, are chanting “Freedom, Democracy, Union” while trying to prevent a vote? Isn’t it ironic that the Democratic Senators have fled the democratic process? Isn’t it interesting that some of those who—rightly—protest the assorted Republican efforts to stymie majority rule in the U.S. Senate are celebrating the Democratic efforts to stymie the same in the Wisconsin Senate?

Even when he's right he's wrong.

Bizarre to be even partially on the same page with this guy.

Turned on Hannity to see if he’s covering this- he’s been interviewing Gov Kasich (who I used to dislike) and he’s REALLY STRONG on his plan for Ohio. He said he really feels for the “marchers” and union members in Wisconsin because they’ve been let down by their leadership and they haven’t been educated as to what’s at stake and what’s REALLY going on here. He’s prepared for when the SHTF in Ohio.

He sounds a LOT more grounded than I remember him.

I don't know much about him but I liked the interview. I very seldom listen to Hannity but I have it on now. Is Kasich (sp?) a fighter? He sounds like he could be, at least in this interview.

It's articles like this that just proves they are lying propagandists most of the time. They *know* right from wrong, they are just unwilling to give up their selfish marxist ideological fight.

Scum.

Did anyone else see the clown screaming "FOX LIES!" over and over and over into the camera, live, on the Fox Business Network (Neil Cavuto's show, I think) a few minutes ago? How the Fox reporter kept his cool I'll never know.

We need to get a clip of that up.
