Union Thugs Disrupt Wisconsin State Fair
powerlineblog.com ^ | August 5 2011 | powerlineblog

Wisconsin’s public sector unions are ramping up hysteria in anticipation of the recall elections on Tuesday. A reported $15 million, most of it from out of state, has been spent on behalf of the left-wing candidates in the recall races. Yesterday, Scott Walker opened the Wisconsin State Fair, as is traditionally done by the governor. But the unions couldn’t let their hyperpartisanship rest even for fifteen minutes, and they put on a disgraceful delay:

Somebody reported mobs attacking people as they left the fair. What do we know about that?

You’ve missed all of the threads discussing it here?

Garbage leftists from hades....they still have UNION jobs because their insightful Gov. Walker applied some wisdom to the state budget without layoffs. He deserves respect and not the vile crapola from these scumbucket unionistas.

I hope the republicans can retain their seats. Looks like they have their work cut out for them.

I don’t live anywhere near Wisconsin but I can’t believe this kind if thuggery by unionists - at a State Fair - could possibly be appreciated by the majority of Wisconsin residents. It should have a huge backlash on the recall election vote (against the challengers). Pampered state employees (union members) who often earn far more money and receive much better benefits than the people that pay them (via their taxes) howling their outrage at the Republican Governor, Scott Walker, because the state workers lost the Collective Bargaining option based on an attempt by the (newly elected) Republicans to curb state spending (and subsequent taxation) is hardly an excuse to act like a mob of thugs. If the people of Wisconsin are foolish enough to actually recall the governor and/or Republican legislators they will get the government they deserve - good and hard.

This is becoming more frequent. We are going to have to re-think the way in which we handle disruptive mobs and stop worrying about “hurting” them.

This could well BE what Obama meant when he talked about “civilian military”. Heaven knows, the left has been building this “army” in the public schools for a long time.

It sounds like this was the day shift and the ones beating up white people were the night shift.

Race War At Wisconsin State Fair

Shouldn't the state issue a Travel Warning for the State Fair? Like the State Dept. does for dangerous foreign countries?

The thuggier, the better.

Let the electorate see the True Face of the Democrat Party in time for November, 2012.

In regards to the recall votes looming, I hope the good Guv is doing a better job of educating the Wisconsin voters than the PR-deprived GOP has been doing on presenting their sides on issues to the public.

Folks, today's quiz from MinuteGal is.....have you seen the GOP National Chairman anywhere lately? Is he doing some regular issue rants against the Obama governance to try to get his mug on TV? Is he appearing on TV regularly like former chairman Haley Barbour always did? Does the current chairman tweet?

Bonus points will be awarded if you can name the GOP National Chairman. In addition, you must be able to spell it. You have one hour to answer this question. So go out for a smoke, ponder and get back here with some answers.

60.....59......58......57.......

I noticed in Obama’s speech this morning he did not say a word about this. Because he is their leader and he is the POTUS. When will he be impeached is the only question?
