Fox Host Quizzes Walker On Answer About Union Protesters And ISIL

[DonViejo]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Sunday insisted that he did not mean to compare union protesters to the Islamic State this week.

-snip-

"Isn’t there a big difference between protesters and terrorists?" Wallace asked. "There is," Walker answered. "I’m not comparing those two entities. What I meant was about leadership." The Wisconsin governor said that he provided leadership "under extremely difficult circumstances" during the protests in Wisconsin.

"If I were to run and if I were to win and be commander in chief, that kind of leadership is what’s necessary to take on radical Islamic terrorists," he said.

Wallace then asked Walker how he would handle the threat of the Islamic State if he were president. "Would you commit U.S. ground forces to combat ISIS in any way, shape, or form?" Wallace asked. "I believe we should not take any option off the table. I don't want to run into war," Walker responded.

"That doesn't quite answer my question," Wallace retorted. "You're president today — you talk about leadership — would you commit U.S. ground forces, whether it's a full scale invasion, whether it's special forces, would you commit U.S. ground forces to a combat role?"

3. Walker you stooge your "leadership" is being the Koch's dancing monkey

They grind the organ AND throw down the money that you dance for.

4. Who the fuck cares about the foreign policy opinion of a chief administrator of any American State? Really, folks.....

Like, what the fuck difference does it make to actual policy?

Zilch, nada...endless hours of irrelevant prattle.

No wonder Obama and Franken are truthfully and purposely oblivious to the soap opera theatrics of cable news personalities and lower tier politicians playing to the street level comics and entertainers that inhabit the Republican primary audiences.

There is serious work to be done outside the Villagers cocoon.
