Wisconsin's Governor is Not Hitler [Washington Post Desparately Attempts to Cover for the Unions]

Rachel Maddow on Thursday night called the war over public-sector union law in Wisconsin an "existential fight for the Democratic Party." Overstatement? Maybe, but it's tame compared with the despicable slogans that some of the union protesters have been injecting into the debate.

I must note that most of the protesters are carrying signs with civil slogans on them -- "Care about educators like they care for your child," for example. I don't think the unions or most of their supporters endorse the views expressed in some of the other placards. And, even if they did, the practical merits of the issue should be kept separate from the rhetoric that surrounds it, as in any debate.

Yet, just as the offensive behaviors of some Tea Partyers, birthers and others on the right deserve to be condemned, so, too, do some of the things that the mass protests in Wisconsin have dredged up. Here is a sampling of the some of the signs that the Wisconsin GOP says it has found among the protesters:

Note the weasel words and the tu quoque between lies ABOUT the Tea Party, and documented photos of the Unions dismissed as rumor.

The comments from the left are particularly instructive!

If I were in Wiscinson, I would be standing two inches from Taliban Mullah Scott Walker's face and spitting into it.

How you like them apples, Sparky?

The first thing both Hitler and Lenin did on seizing power was to destroy the trade unions.

The teahadist Brownshirt cadres have taken this lesson to heart.

Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Beck!

So once a day or more every Jewish/zionist columnist

has to write a story about Hitler or the holocaust. It's just the case.

What happened to the rabbi's organization that wanted such not to be mentioned again. Except by themselves, apparently, asevery time Israel pulls some outrage, as yestrday with the Iranian ships, we get another bunch.

Something on one placard, in one demonstration in one state. And wowie, we have to get a whine.

Yes, I noticed. *spit*

I have to believe that “Care for educators the way they care for your child” is unconscious self-parody. “You don’t give a FReep about my child, and I don’t give a FReep about you.” (signed) “35 years of homeschooling”

They invoked Godwin’s Law right off the bat. That means they’ve lost the argument.
