Prominent Democratic Donor Called Scott Walker a ‘Dumb (bleep)' for Something 60% of Americans Share
IJReview ^ | May 26, 2015 | Joe Perticone

Posted on 05/26/2015 6:50:35 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Hillary Clinton is heading to the Sunshine State this week to spend time with one of Florida’s most influential Democratic donors, trial lawyer John Morgan.

Morgan is not just praising Clinton’s candidacy, but actively bashing her potential Republican rivals.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Morgan took shots at Wisconsin Governor and prospective 2016 candidate, Scott Walker:

“Walker would be the first president with a GED.”

The Democratic donor attempted to insult Walker for not obtaining a college degree, which he opted out of in order to get started with his career. Morgan continued, calling Walker cruel names in an effort to insult his intelligence:

“We just cannot have a dumb sh*t as president. Total dumb sh*t.”

While Walker does not have a college degree, neither do nearly 60 percent of American citizens. Though the price of obtaining a Bachelor’s degree has risen sharply, more Americans are pursuing degrees than in previous decades....

Daily Beast: This Lawyer Wants Hillary to Loosen Up on Pot

"When Hillary Clinton heads to Florida this week, she can expect to talk pot. And she can expect a bit of profanity.

That’s because she’s stopping by the home of John Morgan, a powerful trial lawyer who’s one of the state’s most influential Democratic donors.

Morgan’s sizable bank account and extraordinary candor have made him one of the Sunshine State’s most powerful politicos—and one of its most formidable. Democratic candidates line up to kiss his ring, and Democratic presidents swing by his house when they’re in town...."

Progressives have no idea why they believe what they believe. So they call names in lieu of a coherent argument.

I’ve missed something here. Certainly no one is claiming Walker has a G.E.D are they? My understanding is that he did not graduate from college after attending, but that certainly doesn’t descend to maligning his high school diploma, does it?

This seems like some calculated misinformation intended to convey an entirely different meaning.

College is a great place for the uninformed to learn how to be a Marxist. It was that way in the 60’s and more so today.
An education can be achieved at a college in spite of this, but the propaganda is everywhere and unceasing.
BTW Dhimmicrat president Harry Truman did not have a degree and he prevented 100s of thousands of Americans from dying, by not invading Japan and nuking them instead.

Walker brings out this bizarre overreach in the Left - it must lie with their frustration (and anger) that he’s likeable, he is a fighter and he’s a winner, and they just can’t find where to grab him to make him hurt.

Politics is a religion to the left, its the source of all things.

Anyone who takes them on a wins is a heretic that provokes rage and must be crushed.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

The Hillary supporters are not “defenders”, they don’t care the reasons, or facts. They support fearless leader no matter what. No matter what she has said, no matter what she has done, no matter what she says she will do or even if she tries to do as she says or not.

There is no debating such a supporter. They are true believers just as the defenders of Communism didn’t care that Uncle Joe Stalin butchered tens of millions or that the USSR gave imperialist support to the North Vietnamese.

They will cry about the actions of the opposition and smear people’s backgrounds. None of it matter to them anyway. If the situation were reversed, they’d shrug their shoulders and say “so what” if such a charge was leveled against their chosen candidate.

EVEN IF you bring up the 2008 liberal arguments and editorials against Mr. & Mrs. Clinton (it’s a two-fer and always has been), they don’t care. Even those 2008 writers are hesitant to slag her campaign at this stage.

Walker was in his senior year when he took a job offer with The American Red Cross (he was working part-time for IBM during college and that got him the job offer from the Red Cross).

FACT:

Of incoming college freshmen with a declared major, those with the lowest SAT scores are:

* law
* education

What a surprise /sarc

He’s a personal injury class action lawyer who trolls for action

He is not per se a trial lawyer

I’d bet 95% of his cases never see trial

Who writes this stuff

But the idiots are listening to the village idiot.

I really have no idea why he’s pushing Shrillary, aside from being another idiot on a pulpit.

Putting aside the fact that intelligence and, more particularly, wisdom have nothing to do with academic credentials, I’m pretty sure that the ‘Rat base has a larger - much larger - cohort of the poorly educated than does the GOP’s. Morgan is insulting those voters whom he expects to boost his preferred candidate.

That doesn't mean he has a GED. He has a High School Diploma. He doesn't have a bachelors degree. A GED is a Graduate Equivalency Diploma for high school drop outs.

My point is SENIOR YEAR of what? College or High School?

The quote in the article says GED. That’s not an equivalency for college; it’s for high school.

My understanding is he graduated from high school and went to college but didn’t graduate because of taking the work instead. Is this not the case? I’m not trying to make this a big deal, but it is a big deal if Dem donors are conflating GEDs with college degrees.
