You forgot the fact that (normally) when a Democrat slips up and says something like that, he or she immediately corrects themselves and apologizes.
The other side rarely does and if it does it's on a Friday afternoon when nobody notices.

Link to the above statement: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2011/02/26/wisconsin_police_enter_protestsThe Wisconsin police have entered the fray at the State Capitol building in Madison -- and in dramatic fashion. More than a hundred police officers entered the Capitol today and joined up with the hundreds of protesters who have waged demonstrations in the building for a week and a half.
According to the Understory:
From inside the Wisconsin State Capitol, RAN ally Ryan Harvey reports:
“Hundreds of cops have just marched into the Wisconsin state capitol building to protest the anti-Union bill, to massive applause. They now join up to 600 people who are inside.” |

That was linked in my post but hyperlinks don't show up unless the cursor is hovering(not to be confused w/hovercraft or bases on the moon  ). I suppose when linking something I will change the color or make it bold or something. |

the cops have been with them.. maybe not walking, like the fire department, but within the 1st cpl days the law enforcement association who had supported the gov during his campaign, retracted their support for him http://www.channel3000.com/news/26933675/detail.htmlit's amazing to me watch him/GOP try and turn one publice union against the other like this.. singling out the cops,troopers and firefighters and letting them keep their bargaining rights, but going after the teachers,plow drivers and everyone else... but it seemed to backfire on them.. well good. the worst part of all is now there is a new 'elite' in town.. no, not some CEO of a fortune 500 company getting his $30 million bonus this year.. but instead it's teachers.. public school teacher.. they are the new 'elite'.. wtf? talk about bizarro. But hey, it's not 'Hey how can I get what they have" with the GOP these days its "Hey, why do they have what I don't" pity, it would be nice if the right would let people earn their money and stop hating on them because they have a better job package than they do.. but alas, they just want to homogenize everyone and make the gov't give them all the same pay,same bennie package,same everything..if we'd just stamp 'unperson' on our uniform and get it over with, the pain would stop.. (it'sfunny how all that stuff said in defense of the CEO's and their billion dollar yearly profits can now be used by the left when defending their elites, ya know... PS169 7th grade world history teacher Mr. Bob) ((why yes, yes a I am a little more retarded for even having to link teacher to elite... thanks Walker/GOP)) |

Fox News lies again! http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/weigel/archive/2011/03/02/you-provide-the-pictures-i-ll-provide-the-war.aspxbtw...this "reporter" is the same guy who accused some protester of beating him up the other day. Not! http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/03/01/fox-news-reporter-appears-to-have-lied-about-being-punched-by-protester/Fox News has been making a lot of hay about one of their reporters allegedly being "punched" by a protester in Madison, Wisconsin.
Turns out, that didn't happen.
Mike Tobin, reporting from amid the massive demonstration on Friday, claimed that one of the protesters "punched" him in the arm. In another broadcast, he claimed a man threatened to break his neck.
In both cases, supporting evidence for these claims was not broadcast -- yet still, Tobin's reports have been widely cited across conservative blogs that seem eager to depict union workers as hateful and violent.
What's worse, Tobin's allegation that he was assaulted might have slipped past without rebuttal were it not for a camera-equipped bystander, who captured the scene.
Turns out, someone merely touched his shoulder, as evidenced in the video below. The incident he claimed was a "punch" could instead be described as a pat, at most.
That was apparently enough for him to later declare that even after being "punched, he was just too nice of a guy to press charges. |

The GM forum I participate in did something today they've never done. Allowed a political post about unions. Someone just said this and the words couldn't be more accurate: We need police. We need teachers. We need fire departments. We need military. We need roads. We need jails. We need courts. It has to be paid for somehow, and I really think it's absurd to say it's unfair to take away Trump's fourth yacht to pay for these things, but it's okay to take an Xbox away from a minimum wage earner. |

Hah! I wonder why they're doing this? http://www.tnr.com/blog/jonathan-chait/84507/if-wisconsin-republicans-ever-get-ahold-the-kid-who-pranked-scott-walkerThe Badger Herald reports that a couple Wisconsin Republicans are introducing a bill to ban prank calls. The hilarious thing is that they insist this has nothing to do with the recent prank phone call to Scott Walker:
Although representatives deny any connection to the recent prank call on the governor, two legislators began circulating a bill Monday that would ban making trick calls masking the caller’s true identity.
Sen. Mary Lazich, R-Waukesha, and Rep. Mark Honadel, R-Milwaukee, authored a bill that would prohibit tricking the call’s recipient into believing the caller is someone they are not for malicious purposes.
“While use of spoofing is said to have some legitimate uses, it can also be used to frighten, harass and potentially defraud,” Lazich and Honadel said in an e-mail to legislators.
The bill language forbids a caller from intentionally providing a false phone number and convincing the person receiving the call that it comes from someone other than the actual caller. |

So it's come down to this: A Democrat representative in Wisconsin being beat up by Capital police because he wanted to get some clothes from his office. (Video at link) Hello, Libya! http://www.wkow.com/Global/story.asp?S=14185537MADISON (WKOW) -- Representative Nick Milroy (D-South Range) had a confrontation with Capitol police as he tried to enter the building Thursday night.
Milroy was trying to get clothes from his office but police would not let him into the building. They tackled him as he tried to get past officers guarding a door. He was able to get the door open and struggled with policy before they took him to the ground. |

He tried to push his way past the cops and you think we're Libya now? Even in places that are not Libya you can't try to bull rush the cops. |

I watched the video again. Where do you see him pushing his way past the cops? I see the cops beating him across the room. My understanding is that a judge barred entry into the building by protesters, not legislators. Milroy was going in to get a change of clothes and was attacked before he could show his state ID.

Slow motion video: See, we had different "understandings" of events that the video doesn't clear up since it doesn't show what happened prior. But one thing is clear that if you think this is Libya like behavior you've totally lost perspective. |
