Youtube video of Scott Walker do official Xmas tree lighting at the capitol. Two in the audience prominently give a 'Nazi' salute as he is introduced.

The title of the MacIver Institute youtube video is: Did Protesters Give Nazi Salute at Christmas Tree Lighting? Hard to say, they were NOT doing so.

Another question, were they Nazis saluting, or did they think they were saluting a Nazi??

[Brilliant]

It was clearly the Nazi salute. And it is very fitting for them as well.

Another question, were they Nazis saluting, or did they think they were saluting a Nazi?

Since the Nazi party of Germany was Socialist and strongly pro-union (National Socialist German Workers Party), these were probably DemonRATS discovering their heritage.

Idiots. They’d be the first one’s in the oven. They are clueless.

In the first volume I have expressed myself with regard to the nature and purpose, and the necessity, of trade unions. There I espoused the viewpoint that, as long as no change in the attitude of employer to worker is brought about either by state measures (which for the most part, however, are fruitless) or by a universal new education, there remains nothing for the worker to do but stand on his rights as an equal contracting party and defend his own interests in economic life. I further emphasized that safeguarding his interests in this way was entirely compatible with a whole national community if it can prevent social injustices which must subsequently bring about excessive damage to the entire community of a people. I further declared that this necessity must be considered to prevail as long as there exist among employers men who, left to themselves, not only have no feeling for social duties, but not even for the most primitive human rights; and from this I drew the inference that, once such a self-defense is regarded as necessary, its form can reasonably exist only in a grouping of workers on a trade-union basis.

I do it all the time when I see Obama on the TV. With my arthritic shoulder, I've found the single digit salute takes less effort.

It’s just the Obamian holiday greeting.

Hail Festivus!

[plain talk]

LOL!

Those were unionista protestors. Protesting BY the union. One of them was wearing a shirt with a Fire Department logo on the front. One wonders what he is protesting? Scott Walker’s reforms did not touch the Police or Fire Departments.

But, never, never expect these protestors to have any semblance of logic in their rants.

[GeronL]

What do expect from national socialists?

[GeronL]

pro-union until they finally got real power. then they dissolved the unions.

"Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a f#ckin' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That's why any and every every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Nazi uniform, they're gonna die. "

Hope he gave them an appropriate one finger salute back.

This is so isolated. Local wackos. We all have them.

Well, what do you expect? These Occupunks are socialists, just like the Nazis.

[patriot preacher]

This tells us far more about the saluters than it does about Gov. Walker

[Del Rapier]

And that neo-fascist crap that people have been running with lately,hoping this economic recession would propel us into an age of stricter governing towards undesirables doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon.

The Dems are stupid.
