Ha ha!! I love how Charlie Sheen co-opted Bamster's 2012 "theme".

Where's the pic of the crying Bammy child?

From the Journal Sentinel:

Madison — Demonstrators crowded the Capitol in a wild scene after senators passed a budget-repair bill in a hastily called meeting Wednesday night that outraged protesters and Democratic legislators.

The protesters yelled, "You lied to Wisconsin," and "Kill the Bill," as they pressed close to the doors of the Senate chamber.

As senators debated the legislation, a crowd of hundreds whistled loudly and roared their disapproval.

Tim Donovan, a spokesman for the Department of Administration, said that protesters were supposed to remain on the ground floor of the Capitol, but police allowed them to move to the upper floors.

The AP reports about 200 protesters inside the Capitol tonight chanting "occupy" and "general strike."

Fineman says the Republicans want to get Obama involved to defend unions and paint the Democrats as extremists. He warns liberals to not take the bait.

He already did! OFA and the DNC are taking part in the recalls of Republican senators in Wisconsin, and the Governor next year.

You can bet the State-Run-Media will be playing up the “Un-popular legislation” and “polls show” angles 24/7 (they already are doing so on the SRM networks).

How is it that they cannot see the underhanded way the healthcare law was passed and the way those protesters were treated by the media and the unions and call this situation unfair? I really wish someone would ask them.

The police have been a major problem. Once the smoke has cleared and the union mobs have slithered back home, Walker really needs to clean house and press for the firing of many of these police who aided the protesters.

so, the “police” allowed their fellow union thugs to infest the state building again, after they created $7mil worth of damage last week.. they should be fired en mass.

that is the biggest disgrace.. I wonder who will be held responsible when someone gets killed in the violence? The voters for electing people to cut the budget, the elected officials that ran on the promise to cut the budget, the violent protesters or their fellow union “police” enablers?

I’m not sure you are correct. I THINK this means that the STATE will no longer negotiate union contracts with unions representing state employees.

I may be wrong...

From the rat reaction you’d think that WI just outlawed communism.

Fineman names Haley Barbour, the Koch Brothers, Karl Rove and others as part of the conspiracy.

I'm surprised that he didn't implicate Sarah Palin.
