Former/greatest Wonkette editor ever, Alex Pareene of Salon, has something about this idiot “find a union member anywhere who will be annoyed with a video camera stuck in his face by a wingnut” story that is, of course, the real outrage in the Walker/Koch Bros./Wisconsin battle:
Because these people are completely fucking shameless, the woman from the video has compared herself to Lara Logan. I am not making that up. I wish I was making that up. But I would actually not make that up, because it would seem beyond the pale to accuse conservative activists of being so horrible, so desperate to play the victim, so morally depraved, so deep into their persecution fantasies that they’ve lost all perspective on the rest of the world.
This is the height of the conservative movement’s pathological projection: Whatever they are accused of being or doing, the LEFT is the TRULY GUILTY PARTY. (This is the “liberals are the REAL racists” line, which is more of a comforting mantra than a compelling argument.)
And yet the Political Establishment is still full of Ben Nelsons/Barack Obamas who stupidly think if they only love Republicans harder, it will be reciprocated. [Salon]

Why doesn't this fall into the part of the GOP platform that states 'any female recipient of unwanted physical contact was clearly asking for it?'
Don't worry, I've put in a call to the Rand Paul campaign.
Maybe Georgia can sentence her to 10-20 years for being a woman.
I thought that's ususally a life sentence.
I think they're two subsections of the same chapter in the GOP code.
why didn't he water buddha her?
Eternal victimhood is the price of liberty. Also.
Wonkette has said some mean things about Joe Lieberman and Eric Cantor, who are Jewish, which is just like the Holocaust.
You know who else said mean things about Jews?
Glenn Beck!
Emperors Vespasian and Titus?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish-Roman_W...
The author of Luke and Acts?
Jackie Mason?
Me- and I go to shul more than once a week and keep kosher. eric Cantor is a POS!
One of those JINOs I keep hearing about?
Wait, wait — don't tell me! You're former Michigan congressman Peter Hoekstra.
Where is Jimmy Hoffa now that we need him?
Not sure, but while I was watching the Danny Devito classic this past weekend, I couldn't resist thinking that if he were here today, a bunch of WI GOPers would have "gone missing" last weekend.
My thoughts exactly. They don't know the meaning of union thug! Someone with serious mob connections, back when the mob mattered. Walker would've found himself at the bottom of Lake Mendota faster than he could say "yessir Mr. Koch."
little jimmy hoffa came to madison yesterday.
So Walker and the Koch bro are being a bit slippery and slimy? Kinda like slug thugs perhaps?
Where is that salt shaker? mutter, mutter, it's around here somewhere…they want slime, we'll give them fucking slime
i enjoy how you know how to rid slugs/leeches. good ol' salt. so many useful uses.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. That title rightfully belongs to the, um, the…the Yellow Guy! Back before time was invented, he actually sent me an email! Personally! To me! And what's more, he put my tip into a post! Now? *sob*
I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.
You might want to keep that whole story about where he put your tip to yourself…
LEARN FROM LARRY CRAIG'S MISTAKES!
Only solicit gay sex when there is no cop in the next stall?
the Yellow Guy?
User of owls is a true long-timer.
who are you kidding? you never had class.
[heart]
i retract the initial statement.
David Lat?
Wasn't he editor for all of six weeks or something? (Almost as short as John Clarke, Jr.'s, reign.)
He was a nice boy. He let me in.lol
But you're our bum.
Well, there is that, isn't there?
I am waiting for the obligatory picture with AFL-CIO carved backwards on her cheek.
It wasn't FORCIBLY stuck in his face.
She is waiting for her miscarriage any moment now.
A guy pushing away someone's camera-phone after being recorded without his permission is exactly like rape.
Unless it occurs in an Alaska airport and the people in question are named Palin.
We all know there are a lot Republicans that secretly swoon to the idea of Barry loving them harder.
Maybe if he loves them harder and faster it will work. That usually does it for me.
And yet the Political Establishment is still full of Ben Nelsons/Barack Obamas who stupidly think if they only love Republicans harder, it will be reciprocated.
Yes, I'd like to think they are stupid.
But as someone once said, maybe, "follow the money". The corporatist Dems rake in boatloads of cash.
That leaves we the people with no choices besides 'pretty fucking evil' and 'god-damned Cthulhu in a blue suit and American flag pin' as the stupid ones.

Well, Miss FreedomWorks Priss probably has never experienced, in her pampered Republican upbringing, anything more violent than a broken fingernail or a case of severe flatulence after a Taco Bell bender, while Lara has been in the shit in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere, so maybe relatively speaking her simile is accurate. I think she should go shove her camera in Sean Penn's face and see what happens.
hell i think she should shove her camera in my face and see what happens.
i retract my previous statement. i apologize *if* i offended anyone. it's clearly your fault if you were offended, not mine. toonces out.
The difficult part for the Republicans is that they have to show the lefties to be the awful thugs the right knows them to be. And of course, the devious liberals never really act that way when anybody's looking — so they're forced to cook up imaginary brutality to stand in for the real brutality that's taking place in secret all the time. That's why Tabitha Hale's rape allegations and James O'Keefe's pimp videos aren't lies — they're representations of a deeper truth that takes fiction to expose.
Okay, now which way out of the goddamn hall of mirrors?
See also St Ronnie's Caddy-drivin' welfare queen.
Shit, they eventually admitted it was made-up, and it didn't make a fucking bit of difference.
and yet, lee atwater is still dead.
Well, there is that.
Thanks for your resolve from another expatriate (well, California) Badger.
But because he died young(ish), & from cancer, no one cares to admit what a goon he was.
It's the Jimmy Valvano Theory, applied to Politics.
(To that end: if Jimmy V were alive today, he'd be as reviled as former UNLV coach & towel-biter Jerry Tarkanian (my second favourite Armenian-American, after Dr. Death Jack Kevorkian).)
Yeah, well, union teachers might have been thugs back in the day when they could still hit kids with rulers, but too many Tennessee teachers think that, if they'll just be all profesional and doormat-like, the Republicans will respect them in the morning.
Sigh.
It's the union members fault. It's the muslims' fault. It's the brown/black/red/yellow people's fault. It's the wimminz' fault. It's the Dems' fault. I blame it on anyone and everyone different than me. I can do whatever I want and I CAN'T be wrong, so it always has to be someone else's fault, consequences be damned.
Fucking toddlers.
They are truly the Party of Accountability, are they not?
Yeah – they hold everyone under the sun BUT them accountable.
The Tammy Wynette of political doctrines.
Driving home this afternoon, I heard Boner on the radio saying that the Democrats were going to force the government to shut down rather than cut spending.
I thought he had learned to not make the same mistakes that Gingrich made. He tried blaming Clinton for the government shutting down, and that didn't work out so well for the Republiklans.
Tomorrow, we should expect Tabitha Hale to appear at a pro-Walker rally in a wheelchair, with a neck brace. And maybe a backwards "B" scratched on her face.
If you're masochistic enough to click thru to the redstate article, you will see that Freedumb Works also had a furry. If you're not that masochistic, here's the furry anyway. http://tinyurl.com/672vfgn Fucking furverts.
Oddly, this is the first time I've ever wanted to see a panda beaten and gang-raped, for freedom.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Hale as we hope for a full recovery for her dropped cell phone. Perhaps we can setup some kind of victim fund. Please make checks payable to Ed Flintstone.
N B 4 one of our trolls explains how liberals are the real Nazis and/or Confederate slaveowners.
What would Ronny Raygun do?
Bust that Union. It is the same as deflowering a virgin. A little pain, a little blood and it is all over and another miscarriage of justice and or life is done.
It is my Christian duty to make sure that YOU are walking in the footsteps of the Baby Jeebus.
Thanks can be sent to me via my paypal
so morally depraved, so deep into their persecution fantasies that they’ve lost all perspective on the rest of the world.
this is the problem in a nutshell(or tea cup). these people are so fucking poisoned by generations of comfort and entitlement and 1st world arrogance that they see everything all the time everywhere as a zero/sum game. if something happens that doesn't benefit them directly, it's bad for them. "if someone else is winning, then i must be losing". it's a fucking twisted and evil way to look at the world.
thugs! thugs! union thugs!
what about the union busters?!? people used to die for this shit.
"As some 1,500 workers marched toward the Bay View [Milwaukee] Rolling Mills (then the area’s biggest manufacturer) urging the workers there to join the marches, the State Militia lined up on a hill, guns poised. The marchers were ordered to stop from some 200 yards away; when they didn’t, the militiamen fired into the crowd, killing seven persons. The marchers dispersed and the eight-hour days marches ended."

"so deep into their persecution fantasies" Being a conservative is being a total narcissist. When it's someone else's pain, they're all steely eyed and stoic – "Lay back and enjoy it, carry the rape baby to term, pull yourself up by the bootstraps." But let someone even look at them hard, and they get all screechy.
I thought it was "douchenozzle."
You know, it has yet to pass the WS senate and usually takes a while for laws to be implemented. All unions in Wisconsin ought to walk out today, while they still exist.

Who says I do not have a sense of humor
I do. I say you don't have a sense of humor.
I also say you're a poopyhead and the beneficiary of an overly lax ban-hammer.
How about sharing the sense of humor. That was dry, dull, unimaginative and leaning toward the childish side.
