Rising Hegemon
Plus, I do love the novelty of "Don't Tread on Me" flags being used to support government against the workin' class.
The governor made things worse for himself by going on CNN and announcing that he had received 19,000 e-mails from the “quiet majority” of Wisconsinites since he made his proposal and claimed that most of them were supportive...
...Mahlon Mitchell, the president of the Wisconsin Professional Firefighters Association, which has been a high-profile participant in the demonstrations, surveyed the crowd while recounting Walker’s boast about the 19,000 e-mails.
“I think I have 19,000 people behind me,” said Mitchell.
Pointing to one edge of the massive audience arrayed before him, he said: “And 20,000 there.”
He pointed to the other edge of the crowd: “And 20,000 there.”
Finally, he pointed down State Street, the thoroughfare that stretches from the Capitol to the University of Wisconsin campus, which was packed with students who have backed the unions: “And 20,000 there.”
Nice job Koch Brothers.

This is a sad day indeed when ya can't get enough Wisconsinites to support the Governor. Importing out of State, Union-Busting thugs ?!? .... I'm getting the vapors... I'm guessing Walker ain't no Randolph Scott
Walker invokes the silent majority -- next he's going to tell us he's not a crook.
The Kock brothers effed up in picking their battle. Big time.
Bring it.
The Kochsuckers may finally have engaged in such egregious overreach as to mobilize real resistance and pushback.
And yet on NPR their coverage had no mention of the Koch brothers, or that Walker had created this deficit. Instead, some joker they interviewed was talking about 10s of thousands of Walker supporters, who hadn't shown up previously becuase THEY HAVE JOBS.
Et tu, NPR?

They couldn't find a "Tread on People I Hate" flag on such short notice.
For all the teabaggers' rhetoric about "freedom", they look an awful lot like authoritarians, longing for an iron-fist government to kick the asses of people thye don't like. What they hate isn't big government, it's government that isn't controlled by their tribe.
Gov.Walker declares that the protesters will not over rule the taxpayers, forgetting that the protesters ARE taxpayers...

OnAn is working on one that says "God hates fags. And unions."

Au contraire.
I support legalization of same sex marriage and do not oppose unions. It's also my opinion that unions aren't as helpful to the average Joe as they once were. Unions are mostly capitalist ventures, not necessarily socialist or anything approaching hard left wing.
yada yada.
tea baggers are hard to contact,being either on the golf course or engaged in a bridge tournament, to get them down to the protest. Being retired, lives of leisure require changing plans.
