Wisconsin Gov. Walker reveals violence, death threats in upcoming autobiography
FOX News ^ | November 12, 2013 | By Joseph Weber

Posted on 11/12/2013 3:21:19 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Protesters angry with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's effort to break Big Labor’s financial hold on the state in 2011 at one point blocked his exit from a manufacturing plant, then surrounded his police cruiser while “beating on the windows and rocking the vehicle.”

The episode is one of several violent threats that the Republican governor and his family have faced, and which are detailed in his upcoming book “Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge."

However, the most unnerving incidents for Walker appeared to be the death threats -- specifically one in which the sender wrote about following his children to school, the street on which the Walkers lived and family members being potential targets.

At least one menacing letter was directed at Walker’s wife, Tonette, and threatened to “gut her like a deer,” which combined with the others resulted in heavy police security.

BUT BUT BUT... We all know liberals are lovey dovey live and let live type of people. Peace and love and all than man. And we all know it’s the tea party who are violent filthy racist sexist bigots who deficate on police cruisers and bite fingers off of political enemies. I hear it on the news constantly. This must be phony. I just can’t believe a union member, under the kind leadership of people like Trumka, would resort to violent threats.

So we have Walker, Cruz, Lee, and Palin as possible candidates for POTUS in 2016.

My son is a Wisconsin State Trooper who can attest to these truths.

Whose plan was almost instantly successful. Laid-off teachers hired back, unions bitch slapped, budget surplus.

Winnah!

Un-numbered crowds, threating wife and kids?

That would be the answer to the question, “Why does anybody NEED a 30 round magazine?”

I have profound respect for Scott Walker. Unions represent nothing more than laziness, rotten workmanship, corruption and violence. Their time has come and gone.

Unions, King Obama army of thugs. Wonder what they think of Obamacare now. Maybe they are too stupid to realize they were screwed.

Which just means Hillary will be defeating the Christie/McConnell ticket the Republicans nominate.

If the Witch of Benghazi can even be seriously considered as a candidate, and possibly be elected President, means America has irrevocably lost her way.
It’ll be over!!

Scott Walker’s autobiography — “Unintimidated” — reveals extent of death threats during recall campaign.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Don’t be glad that the trooper can attest to this. I’d rather that it all be untrue — except I know it isn’t. The shame, the shame that anyone would threaten our Governor and his family. They are such nice people!

Well...if duty calls!

If things are as bad as I think they’ll be by 2016 the country will need him more.

I thought you meant that we was conservative, not about the death threats.

Unless something drastic happens, it may already be over but for the wake. Right now, she is the clear favorite and the GOP-e is going to do everything possible to put Christie on the top of the ticket in the glorious tradition of Dole, McCain and Romney.
