TosaGuy म्हणाले...

Sequels rarely do well in the voting booth.

There was a time that a rally of this size would give the legislature pause, but after the failed antics of a few years ago, not anymore.

Until the Democrats find a new game plan and new ideas, they will hold no power in Wisconsin.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Someone needs to organize a Union and get those right to work workers to join up. Offer them half price dues the first year of a two year contract that doubles in year two with a hefty cancellation fee.

If that doesn't work, the organizers can scream shame, shame in their faces. That ought to work.

Wilbur म्हणाले...

Come on, guys. You can do better than that. There must be a "Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho ___ ____ ___ has got go!" version you could come up with.

"Right to work" would do nicely, but I doubt you'd like to chant that.

SGT Ted म्हणाले...

Because it worked so well before!

Talk about tone deaf.

AustinRoth म्हणाले...

It is heartening to see all the new and original ideas the Left has to share with society.

ThreeSheets म्हणाले...

This is what Democracy looks like!!

Twice elected Governor and elected legislature passing laws.

Lewis Wetzel म्हणाले...

If the public shaming results in a single Republican legislator killing himself and his family, it will have been worth it.

Wince म्हणाले...

You know that conduct would be an "outrage" or "racist" if the right were ever to do it.

Kyzer SoSay म्हणाले...

I try to memorize the faces at these protest rallies on the Internet. If I run into one of these clowns in real life, I'd risk the assault charge to break their legs.

That was ironic, SGT Ted!
I should have used one o' them smiley things.

Again, unions did this to themselves.

If unions were so wonderful, they'd sell themselves.

SGT Ted म्हणाले...

oh ok Terry. sarcasm just doesn't always do well in print.

Thrice-elected Governor and elected legislature passing laws.

There was a recall, too, that Walker won. ;)

Walker has certainly been lucky in his enemies. I hope it continues.

Jeb will probably say he refuses comment on other States silly problems. That's easy for him. Florida has Right to Work in its Constitution.

Suggestion to those reading Terry's comment - please read the followup comments before jumping in with a comment that shows you take it seriously.

By the way, Terry, you won the thread with that one. Good thing I hadn't grabbed my cup of coffee yet.

SomeoneHasToSayIt म्हणाले...

Wisconsin State Journal actual (leftist-propaganda-bleeding-into-hard-news-section) headline today "Senate passes bill to limit union power".

If it was a non-hack organization, the honest headline would have been more like "Senate passes bill restoring worker's choice"

Freder Frederson म्हणाले...

Why is the left so violent?

Why is the right so violent? Kyzernick wants to break peaceful protestors' legs.

Because the unions have acted like thugs Penquin. Over and over and over. Including yesterday.

Kyzernick on the other hand is some dude on the internet that hasn't done anything as far as anyone knows.



kcom म्हणाले...

I ignore "Shame!" chants (and signs) for their meaninglessness. Sometimes I see protesters picketing a business and that seems to be the most common thing - a really huge sign saying "Shame!" Whatever their intentions, it's alienating to me because without facts it's an attempt to short-circuit rationality. Your idea of shameful and my idea of shameful might be vastly different (c.f. Dana Milbank). Saying "We're underpaid!" or "Our workplace isn't safe!" would be much more meaningful.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

He who fling mud lose ground.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Kyzernick must have been urging on some actor wannabees to give good protest performances.

"Break a leg" is his word of encouragement...he loves them so much that even says to break both their legs.

Agreed. But it's part of the program.

Yeah, like he is trembling with fear over Obama.

Shucks, I just caught on to Terry's sarcasm and parody and decided to try it myself. Guess it worked, LOL.

Freder - go cry to yo momma. "But, but, but, this guy who I claim to be a rightist is violent too!! Wahh!"

George - I woke up this morning, and instead of driving in snow I'm working from home. Now the internet knows I've done something.

Tradguy - thanks for the cover! I have a certain appreciation for the theater.

and to my dear madisonfella, I'm not a RINO. I'm one of your betters. Treat me as such, please.

Garage, the dumbest, er, "thing" on the internet is you. Do not forget that. Ever.

SomeoneHasToSayIt म्हणाले...

Think about any activity in society, and you will see that it falls into one of three main categories along a spectrum:

1. It is forbidden
2. It is permitted
3. It is mandatory

Progressives are all about increasing the number of things that are forbidden (e.g. all attempts at PC), as well as
increasing the number of things that are mandatory.

This must necessarily shrink, via relentless pressure from both ends, FREEDOM (things that are permitted).

damikesc म्हणाले...

What about the President and the current Dem frontrunner?

Yeah, why should Republicans ask questions about, you know, the most powerful person on Earth (well, used to be) and the Dem frontrunner with no competition?

I bet Putin and ISIS are trembling with fear.

As opposed to what they're doing right now?

You know, mockery is useful only when your preferred candidates haven't been made utter bitches of the folks you're referring to.

Remember, there is literally nothing Walker could do worse in regards to either person named than Obama and Clinton did.

It takes tremendous courage to sign a bill written entirely by ALEC into law.

Yeah, let's let unions write the laws instead. That works out wonderfully.

I'd argue our current President is barely the leader of the Democrat Party.

Nobody in the world gives a shit what he says about much of anything. A long record of ineptitude does that.

Krumhorn म्हणाले...

The entire emotional posture of your basic leftie is one of sneering moral superiority. How else would the concept of "shame" even come to mind?

A great deal of thuggery has been rooted in that point of view. When you mean oh-so well, there's nothing you can do that isn't justified by the outcome. And when the lefties fail, the only reason possible is that their moral inferiors whupped them in a shameful way.

Nasty little shits.

Skipper म्हणाले...

The "shame" belongs to the bloated, corrupt unions.

BarrySanders20 म्हणाले...

I like the links AA provides back to February 2011. It reveals the raw emotion that drove the opposition.

Reading the comments is amusing too. You get comedy gold like this from garage:


How's that union busting working out for you? Not one state has been able to pass any uniopn busting legislation. Including WI. The problem for you is you picked the wrong state to go first, and most definitely the wrong person in Scott Walker to try it. He is an epic loser, and he surrounded by rank amateurs. He has virtually no support from other Republican governors. You think you're seriously "winning"? LOL

2/25/11, 11:29 AM

Walker doesn't nearly enough the chops needed to pull this off, and it will be delicious watching him self implode. I just wonder how long wavering Republicans will continue to take the sword for this douchebag. He's pretty much the laughingstock of the nation right now. There are protests all over the state, many around the country, and a crowd of 100k is expected here tomorrow.

Calling Hoft the dumbest man on the Internet isn't even original

Perhaps. But it's true. I laugh and mock the idiocy of Jim Hoft. You read it and believe the "content" is real. Or maybe drooling morons who read Jim Hoft want to believe it's real.

I wonder if Hoft knows what a corporation is?

Believe it or not, some don't.

Richard Dolan म्हणाले...

Elections have consequences, as we are occasionally reminded.

The reality is that right to work laws, once adopted, have proven hard to repeal. The only instance I'm aware of was in in Indiana, which adopted one in 1957, over unified opposition by Dems and Big Labor, and then repealed it in 1965. Note the dates -- adopted during Eisenhower, and repealed after the huge Dem wave in 1964. I suspect it would take a similar huge Dem wave hitting Wisconsin to repeal this one (assuming that it eventually becomes law).

For those in Wisconsin with a view of such things from their front porch, can anyone see a tsunami like that on the horizon?

The rule of Lemnity म्हणाले...

shame 1. a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.

In the time of beheadings and setting people on fire, you have to do some serious compartmentalizing just to stay balanced.

I don't know.

Or maybe the word doesn't really mean anything anymore.

The word is, or seemed to be at one time, grounded on something greater than ourselves.

You should broadcast that out.

That'll stop him.

Michael म्हणाले...

I am pretty sure that the secret routers began life as secret servers until the difference was known. It was doubly fun when they were secret servers.

Brando म्हणाले...

The nature of these unions and their political hack allies has kept them from seeing why unions have become so marginal since their glory days. If they were wiser, rather than seeing their demise as the result of dirty tricks by big business and evil Republicans they'd see that they have to actually have something to offer the typical worker in exchange for their dues and cooperation. They would also realize that tone deaf antagonism towards parties that will be affected by their activities (not just corporate fat cats, but consumers, and for public sector unions, taxpayers and schoolchildren) will come back to haunt them. If Unions are supposed to be working in the best interests of their members, they'll recognize that their members don't benefit when everyone starts to hate them, or when they "win" concessions that burn them in the long run (e.g., pension promises that can drive a city bankrupt later).

Who knows if this is the death knell for Big Labor in Wisconsin, or if it is going to spread to other states. But their leadership did this to themselves.

"Bonus Gatewaypundit link. The dumbest man on the internet."
No, that would be Oliver Willis. I once spent an otherwise pleasant afternoon explaining to Ollie that he'd mixed up Medicare and Medicaid in one of his anti-Bush posts. I was polite, it was a courtesy thing. It took several exchanges. He did not seem to believe they were different programs. I know that I finally got him to understand his mistake because he deleted the post.
I suppose that makes me a racist.

Because it was located in Walker's office? His former deputy chief of staff is sitting in jail over it?

ken in tx म्हणाले...

Too many people have had unpleasant personal experiences with unions. They don't provide value for money to workers. They are undemocratic and anti-freedom. Working in a unionized workplace is like having two bosses. Like the Bible says, no one can serve two masters.

Ironically, I've asked you for weeks about the GAB and ITS usage of secret email accounts and you've not seemed terribly concerned.

It was mentioned here in December. You missed that thread, but I've asked you plenty of times since then.

So, do you have any issues with GAB doing this and how is it different than what Walker's aide did?

Michael म्हणाले...


Garage, you provided great hilarity when you called the secret routers secret servers. You did not, as you recall, know the difference. You were so excited that Walker was going down down down that you beclowned yourself especially largely. It was great fun for us and we are a grateful reading public.

I think if the chants were a little louder they would probably work, by the way.

damikesc म्हणाले...

So you don't care. This cause celebre of yours is peachy if it's the government doing it and you like what they do. Fuck you're the damned PERSONIFICATION of Fen's law.

So, you're a hypocrite and an abrnormally craven one at that. I once thought some of the more hostile posters were unfairly mean to you. I didn't speak up for you because you also tended to be an asshole.

Now, I realize people like PMJ were actually still too nice to you.

Thanks for being exactly what everybody said you were. I hoped you'd prove somebody wrong, but clearly, you aren't capable of that.

Lewis Wetzel म्हणाले...

I don't understand this "secret routers" thing garage mahal, but if you need a router I've got an extra one laying around the house you can use. It's not "secret", but I've installed DD-WRT in place of its native firmware and DD-WRT is supposed to have good security features.

I'm currently experiencing a perfect reason why I hate public unions.

My union is NTEU. This week they have been bombarding me with Emails telling me to call Washington Congress critters and demand they pass a "clean" DHS funding bill.

A union that represented me would be demanding the President drop his amnesty, instead of demanding that we all help pay for it.

If you are going to do the time, might as well do the crime. Walker and the Republicans shouldn't stop with right-to-work but go on and ban public sector unions in the State. As for the Shame! protesters, it's a Shame! they don't actually do something useful like working.
