The New Civility: Blogger Ann Althouse’s ‘Madison Privileges Have Been Revoked’

IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 3/17/2011 | Ed Carson

Probably not the wisest idea to threaten a law professor. She may know a thing or two about the law.

[A Strict Constructionist]

“Wow! Nice folks, those teachers. s/off”

No sarcasm, I don’t think this was a teacher. I think it was either a fireman or a cop.

[Jim Scott]

Appalling but not a surprise. We know that if you scratch a liberal, be it a politician or a teacher, they are authoritarians working under the guise of whatever ‘cause’ they are championing. The showdown in Wisconsin has forced the left to drop the mask and show who they really are. nasty, violent thugs who are no better than terrorists, attempting to intimidate and bully their way to control. This despicable letter to Ann Althouse proves it beyond a doubt and any attempt by the union thugs to carry out these (illegal) threats should be punished by law.

You have to go through several links to get to the union thug screed

In the discovery process for a broad suit she should be able to slap down some of the source of this, but it will become a full time job.

I wish I could have taken a class with her... But I was an undergrad when I went there. She did take multiple pictures of my ProtestWarrior signs though.

> She and her husband should also consider carrying concealed firearms.

Can't legally do that in Wisconsin. That's the one thing I was really disappointed by during this recent brouhaha; that the legislature and Governor Walker did not take advantage of the Democrats' absence to pass and sign a shall-issue carry law.

It's passed the legislature twice before, but former Gov. Doyle (piss be upon him) vetoed it. I figured this was the perfect time to bring it up again.

The screed was uploaded to scribd by a "Jim Shankman".

And here's what appears to be the facebook of Jim Shankman, AFL-CIO "volunteer" living in Madison, WI.

Sounds like “Net Neutrality” to me gang.

Ann Althouse, a blogger and University of Wisconsin law professor

needs one of my pistols, and I will be glad to either to sell her one for a dollar or rent me and one of mine to her for a dollar a day.

Ann, it is not difficult to track a screen name, if you think you and your husband are in danger, I will travel to help you avoid being intimidated.

I'm tired of attending meetings, talking and typing about radical demonRAT thugs that brow-beat {and physically beat} and intimidate average American people.

Palidin is a reasonable American idea, not perfect, but OK.

I will travel.

[PapaBear3625]

The idiot who posted the threats didn’t even bother with a screen name. See my posts #24 and #28. The Shankman on the facebook link lists his girlfriend as being Anna Louise Ogden-Nussbaum, who turns up in various places as being a radical leftist in Madison. They sound like a pair.

Right wing militias need to organize and assemble to defend ourselves.

Police will not be able to or even be willing to protect our rights.

Yes, more and more folks are on to this.

Wi. does’t have ccw, but only a fool would go unarmed some kind way in this enviroment. When your time comes, you will be alone....

I taught self defense for 12 years and part of the course utilized FBI crime stats..

If you get caught you lose a litle, if you get killed your family will miss you!

The thing that would drive these nuts right over the edge is, if she's out, and they start harassing her, she would just start laughing in their faces. Or, even better, if she would draw funny faces, mustaches, devil horns, etc., on the 'wanted' posters of her, in any place she encounters them.

She needs to make it clear that their bullying tactics, and she should use exactly those words, will not deter her from exercising her right to free speech, just as they are exercising theirs.

Whomever wrote that screed was obviously educated in the Madison school system - it’s almost unintelligible!

There's no 'almost' about it
Sounds like a small group of a combination Charlie Manson and Che wannabes, high on something.

Delusional, violent and sociopaths.

Sort of like Union thugs on steroids. If they really believe that the police are on their side, either the City of Madison or this group of violent children will have to go.

My money is on the normal working, taxpaying Americans in Madison.

But it will be interesting.

[Publius6961]

It is incoherent but quite intelligible. It’s a threat.

Oh, the message is clear enough, but just as clearly, they took turns, these tiny "leaders," and each spewed his particular brand of "deep" revolutionary alienation. My favorite is "pottymouth." She is probably a woman, and the same contributor who also promotes unbridled sex.
The remaining four or so are just the same ol' same ol' Kaczinski psycopathy.

[Publius6961]

Her Wisconsin career is over. Time for private practice.

You're kidding, right?
Capitulate to mindless intimidation? You are of the "roll over and play dead" persuasion?

I'm of a different mind. We need to erase this garbage, this refuse of society, by whatever means is necessary. If the entire Madison Police Department needs to be replaced, so be it.

I need to find the Ann Althouse blog and go through all her stuff. Anyone have any helpful links?
