March 18, 2011

Gov. Scott Walker releases 10s of 1000s of emails he received about the protests...

... most of them "telling us to stay firm, to stay strong, to stand with the taxpayers."

Henry said...: From the article:

One woman who identified herself as a Milwaukee Public Schools employee wrote in to support Walker's plan.

"I voted for you in November, and today I am thankful that I did so," she wrote. "This legislation is more than fair to us in the public sector and will bring a measure of financial relief to the people of our state. Keep up the good work, Governor. I'm glad to see us moving in a conservative, constitutionally sound direction."

I wonder how she feels about her mandatory union dues (still) going to support thugs who accuse the governor of "irrational hatred."; 3/18/11, 11:58 AM
Carol_Herman said...: Well, a Wisconsin judge told him he had to do this.

Remember the interview with the red head, yesterday? She was expressing the left's interest in having activist judges on the bench. While I'd venture to guess most of us don't know what a "judicial temperament" really is. Does Scalia, for instance, have it when he goes for the jugular of one of the lawyers, during Orals?

What we are seeing playing out is POLITICAL. Governor Walker is under POLITICAL ASSAULT. Why? Because he is suddenly a national figure. And, his reputation is climbing high.

So, I'm not surprised.

That the Internet, itself, is under assault by democraps? Nope. Not surprised, either.

While I still think in 2014 Al Franken will be returned to comedic circles. His "win" by 600 votes, will be canceled out. (No. I don't know the future. But I'd bet this outcome, anyway.)

There's a reason the Internet has grown in influence.

As to the released emails? A Hill of Beans.; 3/18/11, 11:58 AM
Carol_Herman said...: In the comments section on another post, someone wrote in to say "he heard that a judge delivered a restraining order AGAINST the implementation of the new union rules." Raising the question, "is this true, or not true?"; 3/18/11, 12:00 PM

"Mr. Walker, thank you for the free Support Walker t-shirt. My last t-shirt was stolen in broad daylight as some blonde woman videotaped the whole thing. If inclined, please write back to hans.heg@union.army.mil."; 3/18/11, 12:03 PM

But can we see ALL of the emails?; 3/18/11, 12:21 PM
Jeremy said...: Henry - How in the hell do YOU know if this was an actual employee? DO you see a name attached?

Here's another email I ferreted out: "I think Walker is a real teabagging cocksucker who should be thrown out of office and horse whipped."

Signed: A Milwaukee Public Schools employee; 3/18/11, 12:24 PM

Hehe. Not so far.

Interested to see how many were received when Walker said he received them, and how many were "mostly supportive".; 3/18/11, 12:34 PM

Spoils more Lefty plots and plans than James Bond.

Jeremy said...

Geee, what a shocker.

The AP has them. Ask them.; 3/18/11, 12:35 PM
Sofa King said...: I think Jeremy interpreted Althouse's headline to mean "Of 1000s of emails, Walker releases 10s" and not the (correct) "Walker relases 10,000s of emails."; 3/18/11, 12:43 PM
JimMuy said...: Wow! Did you notice the capitalized "Great Recession?"
That's a big admission compared to this administration.; 3/18/11, 12:43 PM
bwebster said...: OK, I first read your headline as a snark, as in "Walker only releases a few (i.e., tens) of the thousands of e-mails he received, and they're all positive, so he appears to be cherry-picking."

The article itself made it a bit clearer. :-) ..bruce..; 3/18/11, 12:48 PM
Carol_Herman said...: Yup. The Internet is under assault! Just watch what the senate keeps trying to do! (I've seen the links to stuff at Glenn Reynolds site.)

And, who knows? As this issue winds through Wisconsin's courts ... is it going to be a slam dunk for the democraps? REALLY?

I have a counter-intuitive opinion. I think this BACKFIRES! I think it makes a majority of citizens ANGRY. And, just like teachers wiped their reputations thru the mud; I think judges are also losing the respect being one once entailed.; 3/18/11, 12:48 PM
Orinoco said...: The AP story looks to me like a case of "managed reporting". Walker had said that the bulk of his mail supported his action and presumably, the AP filed a FOI request in order to refute that. They never get around to doing that in the article (so it must be true), but they do give equal or greater visibility to the emails that opposed Walker, going to far as to capitalize one in order to draw the eye to it. Also, the emails referenced in the AP article that oppose Walker are all featured higher up in the article. Managed reporting.; 3/18/11, 12:49 PM

And that it also showed Obama with a 49/44 approval rating among the same people.

And then go look at the emails. Unless, of course, you can't stand the truth.; 3/18/11, 1:23 PM
jimspice said...: Just to be clear, we still have no evidence that most of the emails are supportive of G.Walker. Your blurb in quotation marks could easily suggest this is the conclusion of the linked article, rather than a restatement of G.Walker's assertion, which is what it was. I'll wait for the breakdown before drawing my own conclusions.; 3/18/11, 1:24 PM
kent said...: Kent - You left out where the polling came from

Hence the linkage. Feeb.; 3/18/11, 1:26 PM
Jeremy said...: Kent - Sorry, I didn't mean you didn't link the polling. I was referring to the "source."

My deepest apologies.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any future polling information via the NJ/Allstate Heartland Monitor.

By the way: President Obama's latest approval rating via Gallup today is 50%; 3/18/11, 1:52 PM
Jeremy said...: edutcher - The ONLY emails I can read, whether it be via the AP or not...is what was "given to them."

Can you wrap your little pin head around that?

Walker could have deleted any number of emails that weren't quite so supportive.

But of course, you and the rest of your teabagger buddies already know that.; 3/18/11, 1:54 PM

I think we have seen them. I mean, the New York Times published four anti-Walker emails, so in all likelihood there were four anti-Walker emails.; 3/18/11, 2:32 PM
Jeremy said...: Henry - "How in the hell do YOU know if there is an actual New York Times? Are you there in the newsroom?"

Good lord, how fucking stupid are you?

You're comparing this twit "saying" he's released ALL of his emails...which we're supposed to believe...and whether there's a news organization that been around since 1851? (Oh, and yes, I've actually been to the New York Times...and it does indeed exist.)

AlphaLiberal said...: Ann Althouse selectively leaked the details of this compliance with the open Records laws of Wisconsin.

A) Walker only complied with the law after being sued.

B) As part of the settlement, taxpayers must pay the legal fees of the news outlets who sued (guilt, guilt, guilt).

More here:

Lawsuit settled: Isthmus, AP will get emails, Walker must pay legal costs

It's pretty bizarre that Althouse would repeat Walker's claim, which triggered the OR request, that the majority weer supportive. The story doesn't say that and I doubt they've tallied the 19,000.; 3/18/11, 3:21 PM

BTW, there's now a bill from a conservative lawmaker in MO to repeal child labor laws. All part of the drive to repeal the 20th century. Set your clocks back 111 years. Things were so grand back then!; 3/18/11, 4:02 PM

AlphaLiberal said...: So, Kent, what's your issue with the Progressive piece? The page you link to does not bother to explain what the problem is, beyond being an uncomfortable truth that these policies hurt real people.

In the piece he carefully states:

Figuring out all the contributing factors behind a likely suicide is a complicated problem. Such deaths are in some ways incomprehensible—and always tragic.

And he has school board members contacting him and saying that the suicide was triggered, in part, by the attacks on teachers.

And he quoted from the fricking police report:

“Susan stated that the last several weeks had been ‘stressing her out’ due to the protests and the introduction of the budget repair bill and the uncertainty involved in the teaching world, as far as who was going to have jobs and what services were going to be cut. . . . Susan stated that Jeri truly loved her job and was about the most outgoing and bubbly person you could ever want to be around. Susan stated that everybody had noticed, however, the last few weeks since the introduction of the budget repair bill that Jeri was having a lot of difficulty.”

Unionists have as much rights as I do, moron. That is to say they don't have collective bargaining rights because those rights never existed. Moron. They are obselete. They aren't necessary and you can never justify that they are or in reality ever should have been.

And when you ever did have one, you can thank them for those weekends you spend on your ratty sofa in the trailer.

I've been employed since I've been a kid, so much for child labor laws. When you aren't flicking that little pill of a dick with one hand while you fist hammer a response here with the other one that doesn't consist of some homo-erotic imagery that you probably gleaned from one of your usual man friendly haunts on the interwebs, think to yourself how much better I am at life than you are by leaps and bounds. Stew in it. Understand it. Embrace the patheticness that is you and the inanity of the drivel that you shit-shovel through your keyboard. Then once the realization of how utterly worthless you are to not only the immediate people that surround you because of the involuntary nature of the sphere of putrid filth of space you occupy, but to the larger scope of people that have been rendered even dumber for having to read what you say, then kill yourself on the altar of your own stupidity. Jump on a knife, walk out into traffic, go over a bridge. Something, anything that might have redemptive value in getting some medical examiner to acknowledge that you actually are a hominid of some sort that was birthed by god knows what. Then and possibly only then could it be attributed to you that you had some impact on letting anyone reading your verbal diarrhea, value you as nothing more than an afterthought of a semen stain.; 3/18/11, 10:22 PM

That's kind of our point. We have long suggested the T-party is not an organic movement, but a corporate orchestration with the likes of the Kochs pulling the strings, and the likes of you dancing like crazy all the while thinking how good and talented you are.

I don't believe the entirety of the rank-and-file T-party are evil, but I do believe those calling the shots are, and that the peons are being obliviously led around by the nose.; 3/19/11, 11:57 AM

We? Like a borg collective, we? First of all, I'm not Tea Party. Second of all, it was/is an outgrowth against the largess of government. Whether it is organic or funded is meaningless and irrelevant. It is what it is and it's there, so deal with it. It's unfortunate that when Soros funded mouthpieces and organizations are incapable of having the same effect, you go after conservative movement benefactors under the guise of some evil, nefarious, marionette type plots. It's silly, childish, and foolish.

It's sounds like jealousy and envy? What? Big daddy Soros got outspent?

Right, unthinking lemmings jumping off a cliff. Got it. You people are so fucking dense sometimes.; 3/19/11, 5:00 PM

I was hoping to get a rise with my "methadrone" taunt, thinking it a fine triple entendre, only to discover the apian theme of your blog and BAM, it's a quad.

Now, be a good lemming and go back and reread your Plato's Cave.; 3/19/11, 5:16 PM
