Wisconsin Recall Anarchists Suffer Hilarious Withdrawal Pains When Media Split
NewsBusters ^ | June 19, 2012 | P.J. Gladnick

It is well known that leftwing political demonstrators love to play to the cameras as happened in Wisconsin during the months leading up the the recent failed attempt to recall Governor Scott Walker. So what happens when the media departs once the election is over? As you can see in this video (and below the fold) their media withdrawal pains might not be pretty sight but it is definitely quite hilarious.

The two featured anarchists go berserk when they spot the CNN bus begin to leave town on the day after the recall election. Anarchist Miles Kristan even attempts to keep the CNN bus from leaving by standing in front of it in the street. However, the truely great comedic reaction comes from the other anarchist, Kristine "Thistle" Pettersen whom one wag nicknamed "Pippi Bongstocking." As a bonus, an extended video of Thistle has now been released which, as you can see, is chock full of comedy gold media withdrawal pains.

Wisconsin anarchists losing it ping — this is extended from yesterday.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

I’m relieved to see that Thistle has another name. I wondered what kind of abusive parent would name their baby after a noxious weed!

Maybe it’s like with your kids. When they pitch a temper tantrum, the less attention you give them, the shorter the time it lasts until eventually it isn’t worth it for them and they stop altogether.

There's not many videos I view to the end but those two are better than 90+% of what's on TV.

Thistle is a very good comedienne, with a few English classes she could be great. However if she was serious with her anarchist spiel she seriously needs to see a shrink. LOL!

You need to watch the video—I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time—except, deep down, I find this poor young woman pathetic.

She’s such a waste of protoplasm........

Exactly. The only reason she was mad was because the community of anarchists (hippies) she was gathering with everyday were not going to be there anymore. No more gay dancing to the drums beating for her.

Someone on another thread called her “Hippie Bongstocking”, which also works well.

To me, this is deeply ironic. This person does say, in a heartfelt way, that the government does not own her...she owns the government and that she rules over herself. If she were not so confused by liberal lies, she would be in favor of limited government....THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what she is fighting for.

On the other hand, she could just be high.

“I left Madison, Wisconsin in September of 2003 on my bicycle and rode south to New Orleans with my partner Douglas. We lived outside of a car for five months on our bicycles that Fall and Winter, re-wilding ourselves and getting in touch with Nature.  Biking influences the sound of my music. The steady rhythm of the wheels beneath me as I ride clears my mind of anxiety and the songs just come (except for when a car or truck gets too close for comfort).”
