‘Walkerville’ camp at Capitol Square in the works to protest budget (here we go again)
Wisconsin State Journal ^ | 6/2/2011 | SANDY CULLEN and MARY SPICUZZA

With lawmakers gearing up for a vote on the state budget, a “Walkerville” camp similar to the one that sprang up during the protests at the state Capitol earlier this year may be returning this weekend — this time to the terraces of Mifflin and Carroll streets.

We Are Wisconsin, an alliance of community groups, labor unions and others, has asked the city for a permit to set up the camp across from the Capitol to provide information about Gov. Scott Walker’s budget proposals and efforts to recall Republican legislators who voted to eliminate bargaining rights for most public employees.

Full employment for the D.C. cleanup crews, at least. Remember how much trash the last rent-a-mob left?

Yep, Public School teachers on their 3 month vacation complaining about how badly they are treated. Only interupting thier protests to go to water parks at the Dells and to check email on their Tax Payer supplied iPads.

It will give the teachers something to do over the summer while they are brushing up their resumes.

Walker’s mistake was in not sending in the police with tear gas and billy clubs back when all this started. If the union thug cops disobeyed his orders, he should have fired them and brought in private security to do it.

“...for the little political barb that the “minister” added to the ceremony.”

That’s just insane. But, not unexpected in these parts.

I think Dane County is going to get the kick in the teeth it SO deserves. Taxpayers are leaving in droves, and it pains me to say it, but our new, old Mayor Soglin is looking like he’ll kick some liberal @ss in this town, LOL!

Just think - Mayor Dave is GONE. Kathleen *SPIT* Falk is GONE! We have a Governor that’s NOT going to take cr@p from Dane or Milwaukee counties.

We’re at a tipping point, I’m thinking. :) Of course, the LibTards won’t take this lying down, but still...’tis SWEET! :)

It is unbelievable that Mayor Soglin would appear to be a voice of relative sanity....it actually is a pretty sorry state.
That being said, some of the more civil leftists in this state have lost that civility recently. I can't explain in detail a lot more, but they seem to be scared, as in really scared of some presence that hasn't been in this state before.
You were right about the barb not being unexpected, we were a bit surprised at the apology because we are used to being in places where conservatives are bashed with abandon.
What has surprised me lately is the number of people who have come up to someone I know rather well and say in a whisper so as to not be heard by anyone else around “Keep up the good work” because this person is well known for making a very public stand for our side. Sometimes these people are strangers and sometimes they are people known a long time, but not known as conservatives.
We are living in interesting times.

You name a town or a ville after someone you respect and want to lift up. These people are so dumb they don’t even realize that they have it backwards from what they actually intend are lifting Walker up. Yeah!
