traditionalguy said...: We had a similar sign in Georgia after Gen's. Sherman and Heg came through here.

It said: "Beware, Republicans steal food, burn things down and free slaves."

So I am glad to see that the Wisconsin people have finally repudiated the uncivilized Republican thieves they once sent down to terrorize Georgia.; 8/11/11, 11:23 PM

Political dysfunction, No. Not a good idea when you got competition breathing down your necks.

Hopefully people figure it out before Americans are all speaking Mandarin.; 8/11/11, 11:24 PM

Weird! Maybe Walker was right?

Chip Ahoy said...: You know what this debate means, don't you? It means Red Eye will be preempted in favor of a replay of debate analysis. All your show are belong to us!

My favorite part was the start. Wallace said, "we've had a rough week so knock it off with the soundbites." Straight off Bachmann goes "soundbite soundbite soundbite soundbite AND OBAMA WILL BE A ONE TERM PRESIDENT!!!11¡¡11ELEVENTEEN11!!!"

Showmanship, not leadership

Main Street, not Wall street.

(That there's watchyacall antistrophe!)

Neat lettering though.

I wonder if anyone will come by and write in a counter argument?

You know. Like "signed"

When Republicans win, it is "stolen"

When Democrats win, it is "the will of the people"

I don't know what you have against 8 year olds, but give them a break. Really.; 8/12/11, 6:45 AM

edutcher said...: Of course, Democrats don't.

That's why that little thing in that South East Asian country that used to be part of French Indo-China never got out of hand, thanks to President Nixon's cool handling of it.

Right after he made the Russkies forget the idea of a wall in Berlin.; 8/12/11, 7:43 AM

So we know for certain that she/he is not a member of the Wisconsin teachers' union.; 8/12/11, 7:48 AM

But if it was a "she/he" we DO know "it" was a member of the LGBT crowd, n'cest-ce pas? :); 8/12/11, 8:06 AM

I see what you did there. Sadly, Sam Hall did not.

@ Pogo Heh heh

As far as the post topic, there is a subset of the left that actually believes this. They have too. Their whole world is based on it. You've seen them here, and out on the web.; 8/12/11, 8:28 AM
Anonymous said...: Sam Hall, go back and read edutcher's comment again. He was talking about President Nixon, elected in 1960 (because Democrats don't steal elections, you see).

KCFleming said...: Franken did not steal the MN Senate election.

He merely borrowed it.

Say, did you know the former MN Senator Mark Dayton, in 2006 voted by TIME magazine as one of America's "Worst Senators", is now GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA???

Now you know why Franken got elected.

He didn't have to steal it, really, because the state is full of morons.

Take, the Vikings and Twins and Timberwolves, for example.

Anonymous said...: What happens when you can not accept your own failings on running the same class warfare line over and over again and still lose? Blame the other side without an ounce of proof to back it up.; 8/12/11, 9:02 AM
Mark said...: By definition, any election won by a Republican is one that disenfranchises The People. Hence, if due to False Consciousness a Republican gets 65% of the vote, the election has still been stolen.

This of course provides justification to use any tactic necessary until the correct result is attained.; 8/12/11, 9:05 AM

Njall said...: I can't help but wonder if it's the case that:

1. There is an unusual density of brain dead liberals in WI,
2. It only seems to be so since Meadehouse has done such a stellar job illuminating them,
3. WI has been elevated into a heroic, Alamo-like stand by national progressives, and so those liberals in WI, filled with their own self-importance, have gone off their rockers more than is usual.

In any case, the only thing which causes me to not judge WI in general harshly is the fact that when I was in the Navy, several of my closest friends were from there - good, sensible men - the kind this crowd would call "rednecks"; 8/12/11, 1:13 PM
