Forget the National Guard, Walker Calls in the Teabaggers
So the shit’s really on in Wisconsin, and Gov. Scott Walker has deemed the National Guard insufficient for his problems. Instead, he’s made a nationwide plea for teabaggers to drop what they’re doing and travel to Madison.

Led by teabag pundit extraordinaire Andrew Breitbart, teabaggers are trekking to Madison to make their feelings known about a bunch of Wisconsin Cheeseheads. It promises to be the match of the century, pitting a bunch of old geezers on government run healthcare and disability against the public employees in the Badger State.

What we know for a fact about teabaggers is they are not the most reasonable or brightest people on the face of the earth. But this portends to be far more than is advertised, and I hope someone is taking the long view on what is about to happen.

It begs the question, will it REALLY be teabaggers on those buses, and will anybody be packing heat?

What happened to states rights and the the will of the local voters? I guess it only applies if they agree with Walker.

1. States Rights count only when it helps Republicans and the
Businesses in the States.

Their goal is a Right to Work State. Lower Living Standards,
Highest rates of Poverty, Lowest in Education, Health Care
and quality of life. Business calling the shots.

2. so walker brings in "Outside Agitators"?
It's like an ironic reversal of the old Southern complaints about Yankee civil rights workers being "brought in" to "stir up trouble".

9. It's good you ask, but everyone knows now that's it's the Koch brothers
We need to stop asking who is paying for these things and start stating who we already know is paying. It's time to go after them directly instead of just fighting their minions.
