Bwahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

[dixiegrrrrl]

1. That should happen all the time, in every one of the Reich winged states.

Good on Wis. people!!!!

[vi5]

2. So awesome....

There needs to be more of this in more places.

[ladywnch]

3. he should not be able to show his face out in public without this kind of response. n/t

[Enthusiast]

28. Kasich and Scott, too. nt

[Honeycombe8]

4. I was going to be excited about it until I saw that it's not the gen'l public but protestors....

Protestors with signs. Not the same thing as general public booing him away. It's protestors who are apparently following him around, booing him.

[Pharaoh]

5. The protesters are the general Public!

What do you think they bus them in from Illinois?

[Honeycombe8]

8. You mean they just HAPPENED to have protest signs handy? nt

[jwirr]

13. The people of WI (the general public) came to protest him. Why are

the protesters not part of the general public? I protest and I am a private citizen of my state.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. I have some in the trunk of my car

:)

[Lasher]

16. If you gave me one of your signs, would that make me not part of the general public?

Shame on you for demoting me to the rank of protester.

[Maraya1969]

45. Signs or protestors?

[Yon_Yonson]

15. I travel with protest signs and a flag

Granted the protest was planned and yes we brought signs, banners & flags! I have yet to go to one where they don’t have signs!

[TBF]

50. What is wrong with having protest signs?

You act as if that is a bad thing. Go back to your Faux News show.

[bobburgster]

53. No need for that Faux news comment.

I think Honeycombe8 was just pointing out a reality. There is a significant difference, still good though, in getting booed away from attending a protest, or getting booed away from...let's say....a Knights of Columbus family picnic. I can guarantee the Knights of Columbus one would get national attention.

[TBF]

55. I wasn't replying to you. nt

[bobburgster]

56. I know n/t

[2banon]

23. My take is that it would have been more exicting if the protest was spontaneous

rather than a planned protest demonstration. At least speaking for myself, that would have given me more hope or excitement if you will. This isn't to disparage activists! It's only to say, wouldn't it be something if people enmasse, spontaneously expressed their contempt without advanced organizing.

A distinction that has just a bit more weight to it.

that's all..

[greiner3]

27. Democrats getting organized?

Come on. If I knew that the OH's governor, Kasich, were to be at a state park after he proposed opening up state parks to natural gas exploration I'd protest the SOB also. I don't need anyone to tell me who to hate and who to look up to.

After some of the posts here, I will be making up protest signs and leaving them in my car, for just such occasions. I'll look forward to your posts after I sign in with my tales as the OP did.

[griloco]

36. Signs

May I suggest

ENRICH THE RICH
VOTE REPUBLICAN

FREEDOM IS FREE
FOR BP & GE

FREEDOM ISNT FREE
PAY YOUR TAXES

[HelenWheels]

38. Never will be spontaneous

Walker only gives talks to his chosen few and usually in a business setting. Only those who like Walker are allowed in.

[think]

43. Let Walker throw out the first pitch at a Brewer's game and you'll get your wish...nt

[Jackpine Radical]

48. Just like those spontaneous teabagger demos, right?

Those people are everywhere, and they just keep having those unplanned demonstrations.

[TBF]

52. That's fine -

enjoy your stay.

[Yon_Yonson]

6. It the best protest fun I had since Palin was in Madison

I traveled over 2 hours to get to this protest, I live in Wisconsin and I arrived at 0730 this morning and I can assure you that the people I spoke to were local residence that have had enough of walker’s shenanigans. They were respectable of the speakers and loud when they had to be. Well organized protest and Walker was rushed away without a smile on his face!

[sulphurdunn]

42. The protesters are not

the general public? Then who the hell are they? The effectiveness of spontaneous demonstrations by a mob usually turns violent and would just these bastards an excuse to become violent. It will take peaceful, organized, coordinated and consistent pressure to defeat the conservative fascist movement.

7. Report from the Progressive Magazine

Walker Booed at Devil’s Lake
By Matthew Rothschild, June 25, 2011

Wis. Gov. Scott Walker came to Devil’s Lake State Park Saturday morning for a ceremony honoring the centennial of the park, but he found more protesters there than well-wishers.

An hour before Walker spoke, about 80 protesters gathered at the entrance of the park and walked in a procession that was led by two of the organizers, Sue and Tom Holmes, Sue was carrying an American flag and Tom the Wisconsin state flag.

Another organizer, Gail Lamberty, told the group at the outset: “We are here to deliver a message: This is our Wisconsin, and Devil’s Lake State Park is very, very dear to our heart.”

[mzteris]

18. just out of curiosity

- how many "supporters" showed up? 10 or 20?

I hope he can go NOWHERE without being booed. Even at home. Even when he goes to take a pee. That man is a embarrassment to the human race!

[Yon_Yonson]

19. The head count I head was around 60

Inside the area where Walker was speaking I was told there were about 60 people. I was walking the perimeter of the enclosed area so I did not do a head count (there was two rows of picnic tables seperating us from them). I was also told the about half of them were park employees who very present for the 100 years celebration of Devil Lakes State Park. Another person mentioned that Walker had invited himself but I have no verification of that though.

[Plucketeer]

9. Let's hope that "shame" is

echoing in his head as he tries to sleep tonight! :puke:

[Yon_Yonson]

10. I don’t think it bothers him because he is a psychopath!

‘Also called: sociopath a person afflicted with a personality disorder characterized by a tendency to commit antisocial and sometimes violent acts and a failure to feel guilt for such acts’

[pacalo]

11. What a cowardly man, surrounding himself with security while claiming he's doing such "good" work

for Wisconsin. Doesn't have the courage to face them alone. How much is that crowd of security costing the taxpayers whose salaries are being slashed by this little man?

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Excellent!

He needs to be harassed everywhere he goes.

[Yon_Yonson]

17. This site does a good job of keeping track of Herr Walker

http://scottwalkerwatch.com/

[perdita9]

20. Can you hear the American people now?

Because those calls of 'shame' are only going to get louder.

[roody]

21. Surely he plans to close that park.

[PatrynXX]

22. Dumbest place on earth for him to show up is in a park.

Wants to cut funding to the DNR. stupid.. parks is how many states make money and Devils Lake is among the top in the midwest. nothing like my brother and I wearing star wars shirts walking the right side rocks on the north shore. camped there more times than I can count and found one biiiiiiiiig toad. oh great. toad peee.... now see if I found a toad and held him over walker and he peed... whatever would he do??

[AmyStrange]

24. Walker is a walking pile of petrid...

-

...and rancid pickle juice.

First he lowers taxes on rich people.

And then, he sticks it to the poor.

That being said, we do have one problem with teacher unions and that is tenure. If anyone gets the chance, see "Waiting for Superman". It's not a perfect film (for example, the question of testing accuracy is never really adequately addressed), but it does raise some interesting questions about automatic tenureship.

FROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_%22Superman%22

" ...Of note is the number of conservative critics who have praised the film, despite the director's progressive liberal stance. Joe Morgenstern, writing for The Wall Street Journal, gave the movie a positive review saying, 'when the future of public education is being debated with unprecedented intensity' the film 'makes an invaluable addition to the debate.

<...>

"Author and academic Rick Ayers lambasted the accuracy of the film, describing it as 'a slick marketing piece full of half-truths and distortions.' In Ayers' view, the 'corporate powerhouses and the ideological opponents of all things public" have employed the film to 'break the teacher's unions and to privatize education", while driving teachers' wages even lower and running "schools like little corporations.' The film does, however, note that since 1971, inflation-adjusted per-student spending has more than doubled, 'from $4,300 to more than $9,000 per student,' but that over the same period, test scores have 'flatlined... "

Dave (and Caty)

P.S. don't even get us started on Police Unions in general and their hardline stance against citizen oversight review of police brutality cases.

25. I'll add my BOOOOO to him.

Yup! I'm from out of WI but what he and the Party of Thug and Bully are doing is...un-American.

Can they get any fuller of HATE? Probably.

[Chimichurri]

26. Wisconsin is awesome.

[Yon_Yonson]

29. Walkers Security

I think somebody screwed up on his security because we got awful close, to close from my military security experience. I was so close to his right wheel of his black SUV I could have touched it. Instead I gave him the ‘royal middle finger salute’.

When he was leaving he had to walk thru the protestors who had gather around his black SUV and one State Patrol unmarked car. I saw one Wackennut goon with the sorry for an excuse governor and one driving the SUV. There was two uniformed State Patrol Officers in the lead car.

[irisblue]

31. nice job wisconsin!

i'll keep this in mind for the next time i go past john kasich...thanks for the idea!

[Botany]

32. and the very people whose pay and benefits he .....

... wants to cut are willing to put their asses on the line to protect walker.

If i was a Wisconsin DNR ranger it would be very hard to protect Walker ....
I might just walk away from his security detail but those men and women
stood up and did their jobs in a professional manner.

[Zambero]

33. To Walker's credit...

at least he didn't resort to tactics used by his henchman Prosser, and attempt to strangle the nearest female detractor. Nevertheless with displays of public sentiment such as this he shouldn't be too surprised when his recall results are tabulated.

[sce56]

34. But he is such a great Tool er Gov the people ust love him

:sarcasm:

[Sportsguy]

35. Love It!

Wonder if there'll be more greeters at Fox Valley Metal-Tech in Ashwaubenin at 2 p.m. today?

37. How dare he defile my family's favorite outdoor place!

Good on these people for kicking this punk to the curb.

[Justpat]

39. OK, now this really made my day. n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

40. Those good people need a rail...

[madrchsod]

41. i love that park...we always stopped there when we went to the dells

we are going up there in august.

poor walker, he can`t go anywhere!

[Kurovski]

44. A gorgeous place

I remember floating on the lake watching eagles fly overhead. Burial mounds are there too, I think. Well worth a visit.

EDIT: I hope The righties start gettin' scared. They should be.

[paparush]

46. Fenced in "Free Speech Zones" in 3..2..1

Can't have us commoners embarrassing the ruling class. :puke:

[RyanPsych]

47. You just KNOW that Fox

will take some very edited scenes (a few glimpses without signs) and turn off the sound and then turn around and say how popular he is

[Lint Head]

49. GWB should get the same everywhere the war criminal goes.

[kenichol]

54. I was thinking the same thing

And, of course, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi, etc
