Wisconsin's Radical Break (Professor plays the McCarthy Card)

New York Times ^ | March 22, 2011 | William Cronon, Prof of history, geography and environment at UW-M

The turmoil in Wisconsin is not only about bargaining rights or the pension payments of public employees. It is about transparency and openness. It is about neighborliness, decency and mutual respect.

Respect? Like the respect they showed by running away to Illinois and acting like toddlers? GMAB.

And go ahead and reminiscent about the RINO LaFollette. His seed are democrats now as they should be.

Does anyone know when this restraining order bs is gonna be resolved?

What I think he means is he looks around the UW History Department and sees half the department to the left of him and half to the right, but as it's a very liberal group, that doesn't make him a "centrist."

The blog he's starting at williamcronon.net promotes progressivestates.org, the Progressive States Network, a very liberal group with heavy union involvement.

See Ann Althouse, another UW professor with her own blog for a rebuttal.
