Fifty or so sneaky Occupy Chicago protester ninjas heroically camouflaged themselves in business suits and droll complacency to get into an event held for mutant orc-child Scott Walker at the Union League Club of Chicago, so that they could remind him that he is a corrupt union-busting weasel. Watch it! It’s fun!
KOCHSUCKERS ON THE RUN

It's all Rahms's fault. (Good for him).
I read that as Rihanna, then thought Ron Christie must have gotten into it all Chris Brown like.
Domestic abuse = IOKIYAR, right?
Is Walker in town to interview for the new Cubs manager position?
Yep, another loser to carry on the 103-year tradition.
(full disclosure: Cubs fan here)
I hope for opening day, Epstein has "Bring a Goat to Wrigley" Day, and lets Steve Bartman throw out the first pitch.
Probably just looking for a restaurant he won't get booed at.
Bloody peasants!
Occupy an Asshole?
Marcus?
Now that's something I could get behind.
Wisconsin's gotten so bad, even Walker is fleeing the state in protest.
Mark Twain said it best. There are liars, there are damn liars, and then there is Scott Walker.
Whose turd is that in the punchbowl??
And nobody thought to bring a rope?
Or a CAT 5 cable to make it hi-tech?
Never did understand what Clarence was getting at on that one. Being on the teevee was high-tech in, let's say, 1929, but not 1988.
He already hanged himself a long time ago.
"Union League Club"
Is this some kind of fucking joke name? Don't those words all kinda mean the same thing?
Not exactly. Name goes back to the Late Unpleasantness.
I like how at the bottom of that webpage there is a link to "List of American gentlemen's clubs." Didn't take me where I had hoped, though…
The Union League Club in Philadelphia looks like it was taken from the set in Trading Places.
It was!
It's a result of the Republican Party turning from the anti-slavery party to the pro-plutocrat-and-racism party; the Union Leagues were founded in the Civil War, the "Union" of the title referring to the full United States; now they're basically private clubs for a city's rich and powerful and affiliated with the modern GOP.
So…fight club?
They were going to call it the Alliance Partnership Bunch..
Sadly, Bitch Tits is a real life Republican.
Meat, how could you do it!?
Maybe it's an error? It might in fact be the Human League Club, for which members open the ceremonies with a rousing rendition of "Don't You Want Me."
I love you for that.
Oh, I have a whole satchel of '80s music snark for ya. I can't wait to pull out my Kajagoogoo.
I thought you'd be too shy to do that.
Why not now? Are you too shy?
I'll bet that spot is just a laff riot after lunch.
Would it have been more effective to wait until the Q&A and hit Walker with some ball-busting questions about rights to free assembly, etc? Shouting "Scott Walker sucks!" sort of gives it away.
I personally don't think I could sit still for his whole "speech." Do you? Better man than I, if so.
You could take a nap and emit loud Three-Stooges-style snoring noises until the Q&A.
*snoorrrt*me me me me*
Snoring may too polite for this guy. I think fart noises would be more appropriate commentary.
I think their organizers were stuck outside arguing whether they were the Illinois People's Front or the People's Front of Illinois.
Splitters!
Needs more canoes
To this day, I still applaud the people of Wisconsin for their protest canoes.
That said, I'm still waiting for protest hot air balloons.
Who knew that being pure evil would make people dislike you?
It was never a problem for Sauron.
Or Emperor Palpatine.
Emperor Palpatine don't give a shit.
Baron Harkonnen for the Wonk Nerd Cliche Trifecta.
See, guys like that understand that total galactic domination means you have to step on few toes.
Also, no love for this guy?
Mr. Burns actually seems to enjoy being disliked.
Needs more buckets of pig's blood.
Careful, Walker might go all Carrie White on you.
Well…he certainly carries the whites whenever he runs for office.
More, please.
Sometimes I feel sorry for Walker, having angry people constantly reminding him what a dick he is and how he turned Wisconsin into the "Mississippi of the North" and all.
Then I remember that he deserves no better and wish that somebody would nail him in the face with a rat dick soufflé.
Which would make an even more powerful statement than throwing shoes. Besides, if they were stiletto heels, they might put his eye out and a worthy person would go to jail.
let's leave rats alone!
Love the protesters, but the empty tables speak even more loudly about Scotty's appeal, or lack thereof…
I agree with the wonker above who said staying to ask questions would have been better. Not to mention, it would have been cool if they had set at tables right up front, tricking droopy cheese stick Walker into thinking he drew a full house.
Turnabout is fair play, dickfuck.
Wait–Scott Walker is capable of speech?
Nah, the Koch's just installed a two-way in his throat.
If by forcing air over vibrating vocal cords, yes, Scott Walker is capable of "speech."
Walker knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
Walker knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
And getting paid for it.
Behind crossed eyes.
Scott Walker is a human floater.
Hopefully Wisconsin will manage to flush him eventually.
~
But he's so fucking dense! What holds him up?
I think Scotty's time is limited.
I admire the protesters' restraint — I don't think I could get within shoe-throwing distance of that prick without doing something that might get me arrested.
Throwing a shoe at him would have been very cool. Letterman would play the video.
You know what I think of Scott? (insert stream of expletives common to Baconz)
Of course Walker's fluffer got the brunt of that.
NEEDS MOAR BALL PUNCHING!!!!!!!
Was any of yours video longer than 2:46? I watched the whole thing, and I'm still waiting for the fun part.
Work firewall blocks Crooks and Liars, so I gotta wait till I get home. But tonight's happy hour, so I will probably get drunk and forget about it when I get home and go straight to youporn when I boot up the computer.
Pics of the 50 or so business people standing outside the Union League Club of Chicago in their skivvies or GTFO!
"No matter how loudly you shout, facts are facts. Our reforms have worked"
If by "worked" you mean impoverished the state, rid our workforce of pesky teachers, nurses, and firemen, and enriched all our friends, then yes. Your reforms have worked.
*cough* Asswipe
On the bright side, entitling himself to his own facts means Walker won't 'Pull a Franken' here.
Power to the People!
"…they could remind him that he is a corrupt union-busting weasel "
The only movement Scott Walker has been involved in was a bowel movement.
The Koch Brother's bowel movement, sure, but at least he was there…
Ew, coprophagy…
Needs more flingin' of shoes.
Or hammers — whatevs…
Still would be better then the flinging of poo so common at teabagger outbursts at town meetings.
Proving once more that while "Rick Scott is as popular as dick cancer, Scott Walker wishes he had dick cancer's popularity." http://www.ginandtacos.com/2011/10/05/
Anyone see Martin Bashir take down that so-called preacher who is one of the GOP's "we've got better blacks" Uncle Toms?
Count me as one of the people who would prefer that people wait till after the speech, and rather than shout, ask hard questions, with fact-based follow-ups. The videos of Walker ordering people to be removed from the room for asking questions were very effective. This just seems like a bunch of people wanted to show up and drown out a speaker. Walker will go on Hannity and they'll play this clip and say "See, they can't respond to the facts you bring to the table, so they try to shut you up. That's all those extreme Marxists socialist liberals ever can do. blah blah." Right wingers just eat up this sort of "I'm being an oppressed truth-teller, but I'm going to have the courage of my beliefs" crap. It makes them imagine themselves to be exactly like Saint Peter, except that instead of being crucified upside down they're getting millions of Koch dollars in political support, wildly overpaid lobbying jobs when they leave electoral politics, working for the same people they were so assiduously serving when they were in office, and yummy overpaid "think tank" (choke) sinecures when they decide to take a couple of years off.
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, civil discourse has been stomped unconscious and left bleeding in the gutter by the right ever since Lee Atwater showed them how to do it. It's difficult to make any points with an eye to raising public awareness when the Kochlings can simply turn away from the podium or clear the room with a hand gesture. I think that dressing in suits, infiltrating and making clear that there is organized opposition to Walker might, just might, make a few people who don't follow politics curious enough to investigate for themselves just what the hell is going on.
"You start out in 1954 by saying, "N****r, n****r, n****r." By 1968 you can't say "n****r" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N****r, n****r,." – Lee Atwater
Whoever said the empty tables make an even more powerful statement is right–but the six people who came to hear Walker must have been upset.
At the dinner, he suggested they all eat cake.
It's a tossup on who is the majority–empty suits or empty chairs.
hahahaha i was married in the union league club.
i'm not married to that guy anymore.
Ummm, what did they do with all that leftover food?
If it makes Scott feel any better, his actions DID help kick-start something of a revolution and established the prototype of a potent coalition of labor and students, not that I want him to feel any better. If it makes him feel any worse, his actions had all the grace of a cockpit visitor asking, mid-flight, "What does this switch do?" and not waiting for an answer.
I don't think things are turning out quite the way he and his buddies planned at that Koch Brothers conclave back in January(?) this year.
Dear Kirsten, if that is your real name; as International President of the Evil Goon Association, Inc. I must demand you cease and desist your calumny of our Organization. Evil Goons the World over perpetuate wrongdoings on a grand scale as a matter of course; but to compare us with a pencil-necked shit-stain like Scott Walker is an insult that cannot stand. We have retained the firm of Dewey, Phuckem and Howe which will serve you with official notice of restraint against further comparisons of said shit-stain to any Member in Bad Standing of our Organization. Good day, Madam.
Some folks in Detroit did this yesterday to some random Wall Street banker that came to give a speech at Wayne State University. Two of them were promptly arrested, the first when he stood up and asked the guy during a Q&A if he could be given tips to avoid arrest since the banker had. lol
What a smarmy bastard, this ass. Needz moar rotten tomatoes. Don't you all worry your pretty little heads over this. Scott will be recalled in due time.
BTW, was that a child being led out or just a short adult?
Looked to me like some smart person's smart teenage kid. I've heard of them but never saw one in the wild…
It's all good……….now if we can interupt his "tenure"……..
Funny the union buster is speaking at the Union League…and did he get paid to do this?
Union League Club of Chicago? Union?? Obviously Scott was lost on the freeway …
Hush hush.
