There are a lot of communities where Walker is not well received.

“...The lightning-rod quality of Walker’s candidacy also surfaces in more random encounters.

During Walker’s July visit to the Delavan McDonald’s where he worked as a teenager, he was embraced by hometown friends and colleagues while a passing driver shouted at him while driving through the lot, calling him a four-letter word and a homophobe.

Walker supporters on social media have developed their own counterresponse to the protests, mocking them as lame, ineffectual, and politically helpful to the man they are meant to damage.

“Protests only help if they raise a certain set of issues and make a splash,” said Foval of People for the American Way. He said his group aims to “go right up to that line” of being disruptive without crossing it.

“Does this enhance his profile? I could see how some people could see it that way,” Foval said. “But we feel we have moral responsibility to tell the truth about him.”
