If the Wisconsin Repubs have some intestinal fortitude, they should take advantage of this situation. Also, the protesters have had an entire week. Time to call out the national guard and make them go home. They should make them clean up after themselves, first.
“Time to call out the national guard and make them go home.”
Nope. This is the whole point of what they are doing. At least it’s what the instigators are really up to; the mob itself is clueless. The left really, really, really wants to obtain images and movies of the “brutal, fascist” state calling out the National Guard to clear the peaceful citizens out of the “people’s house”.
They’re going to try this over and over until they manage to provoke riots. This is all part of kicking off Obama’s 2012 campaign. We’re going to see more and more of this kind of outrage, and the stakes are very high, as this could badly backfire on the Obammunists if they can’t provoke the brutality they so desperately desire.
Quite frankly, our side has to demonstrate by example to the country that we are the peaceful and law-abiding side, and that the leftists are dangerous anarchists that are trying to rule by mob. If we choose to show up as counter-demonstrators, can you not imagine a more riveting affect than to simply hold up our signs and remain completely silent? That should be the right’s tactic: dead silence at our demonstrations. First, the MSM will be forced to report that fact, since it would be so unusual. Second, the contrast of the literally silent majority would be remarkable compared to the nasty noisiness of the leftest mobs.
BTW, it’s obvious that Scott Walker is too smart to fall of the left’s trap in this case. He’s just waiting until the sleet and freezing rain take the starch out the protesters and they go home.
