Unions Aim to Disrupt Wisconsin Vote Today
FOX News ^ | March 10, 2011 | By Chris Stirewalt

It’s going to be a very ugly day in Wisconsin.

A crowd of 5,000 union protestors swarmed the state Capitol in Madison shattered windows and barricaded themselves inside amid calls for a “class war” after news got out that Senate Republicans had circumvented a Democratic blockade of a bill curbing state union power.

“This is war. This is a class war that has been leveled against the working people of this country,” Moore told anchor Rachel Maddow.

Some labor leaders are calling for a day of unrest and want teachers to again walk off the job in protest of the move.

Maybe he should call in the National Guard - and have them hand out shovels, so the RATs could dig themselves an even deeper hole.

When your enemy is self-destructing, don’t stop him.

It is very clear that the State Assembly is going to pass this. Be it today, tomorrow, next week sometime, from the Capitol or from some hotel conference room. No need to provoke a Kent State moment here. Just let America continue to tune in and see Union Bolshevism on parade each evening.

Martin Luther King, Jr., is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods.

The mobs since have dropped the nonviolent methods and any reference to God’s role in our lives.

Why in H_ll hasn't walker called in the National Guard to secure the building? This is certainly a situation that calls for.

I have been wondering if, in the interest of political theater, it would not be better to let the thugs trash the building, take lots of pictures and video of the damage, and then sue the AFLCIO, SEIU, AFSCME and the Democrat party because it was they who caused the damage.


We can use a show trial as much as they can.

From his writings I have seen, he has been hijacked by the left. He was definitely Godly. I celebrate MLK Jr Day by reminding my kids his work has been twisted from his basic beliefs.

“This is war. This is a class war that has been leveled against the working people socialists of this country,” Moore told anchor Rachel Maddow.

Yep, it's war, all right. A minor correction has been made to describe the war of which you speak, Moore.

Demand they leave the capitol immediately. If they don’t leave after a few days, turn off the heat, water and electricity. Prevent any deliveries of food. They will leave defeated and humiliated.

"O’Reilly blabbered on with his usual spiel without any breaking news during the portion I was able to stomach."

Well the reason for that is BOR's show is mostly prerecorded. Also I doubt if he likes his show preempted with breaking news because as we all know he does what he does "for the folks" and its more important than breaking news. (/sarc)

Ya, I wondered what happened to civility after Tucson. Have they already forgotten the lessons of Tucson????

Michael Moore is a good liberal/radical, and he’s calling for war. He is using the violent metaphors we were all warned about. I call out Michael Moore.

But will anyone in the liberal MSM world call out Michael Moore on this? Doubtful.

I think the rule is, you are allowed to say and do anything if done in support of the liberal cause of the day. Only conservatives have to adhere to any standards of decorum or laws.

Interesting...Michael Moore is right. From the article:

“This is war. This is a class war that has been leveled against the working people of this country,” Moore told anchor Rachel Maddow.

I don't think he means it this way, but, yes, it is a class war leveled against the working people of this country. But the public sector unions aren't "the working people," and they are the ones doing the leveling of the warfare.

“.....then sue the AFLCIO, SEIU, AFSCME and the Democrat party because it was they who caused the damage.”

That sound like a plan. Make it happen. Get everyone you know to camera up and record their action. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Going to have to be clever with this mob. My thought would be to stage an off-site meeting somewhere between the Capitol and the university, with heavy police presence and buses with dark windows that would get the hippies and union thugs running over to stop what looked like a special session of the Assembly. Then run in the chambers once the capitol empties out, encircle the place with Guardsmen, and take the vote.

Walker has a press conference today at 10:30AM.

He’s been playing his cards right...lets wait and see what he has to say.

I wonder if they will wear red neckties or scarfs as members of the proletariat overthrowing the bourgeoise?

That would be truth in advertising.
