A Chippewa Falls man who repeatedly tried to block his estranged wife from driving to the polls Tuesday was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries when she struck him with her sport utility vehicle.
Jeffrey Radle, a Gov. Scott Walker supporter, was on foot.
Amanda Radle, a recall proponent, was in a Dodge Durango.
The pair had been arguing early Tuesday afternoon over who she was going to vote for in the gubernatorial recall election primary, said Chippewa Falls Police Chief Wendy L. Stelter.
"She was planning on voting for a certain candidate, and it wasn't the candidate he wanted her to vote for," Stelter said.
When Amanda Radle, 30, attempted to pull out, Jeffrey Radle, 36, stood in front of her, according to a police department statement. She nudged him with the vehicle several times.
Each time he would "retreat and re-establish his ground," the release said. "At one point he climbed onto the hood."
When she finally attempted to drive around him, Jeffrey Radle jumped in front of the vehicle and was hit. Aman da Radle left the scene and went to the police department to report the incident, the release said.
"These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap," said Radle's brother, Mike Radle, describing himself and his brother as firm supporters of Walker, the subject of the recall.
Mike Radle said his brother was in stable condition but had suffered serious injuries and was still unconscious Tuesday afternoon.
"He'll be in the hospital at least overnight," he said.
Stelter would not confirm whether Jeffrey Radle was still being treated.

I’m not buying this over-hyped report. There is more going on with this couple than just this.
Then again, liberals are mentally deranged to begin with.
financial planning.
This way they always make money no matter who is in power.
Just mercinaries.
THAT marriage is just a measure of how thoroughly Flyover Country has been duped into believing in a “two-party Republican -Democrat” government still exists inside the beltway!!!
Correct.
However, the headline says she hit him with an SUV.
She must be an awfully large woman to pick up and swing an SUV.
“Don’t have to believe everything in the article to come up with “Justified.””
You do have to believe enough of it.
Have you not seen enough blatant media lies to question THEIR stated cause of the incident?
Why are we assuming that THIS politically charged article is telling the truth?
Sorry, I disagree. What he did what stupid, and in some states might even be illegal. But she had other options. She could have gone inside until he left; she could have called the cops to make him leave, etc. So while I agree he did not have a right to try to prevent her from voting, that did not make her "justified" to use deadly force against him. I have no sympathy for him, but she still needs to be held to account for her actions as well. She should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and possibly mayhem.
If so, then “Zimmerman is GUILTY”, right?
he took the ‘stand your ground’ a little too far.
one toke over the line...
Those cannot be Cargil’s biological kids, they look too normal.
The story also "seems to suggest" that the incident occurred early in the afternoon. She then had hours to call the police and say someone was trying to prevent her from voting.
If you think striking someone with a vehicle, risking their death or permanent disability, is a reasonable or justifiable response here...if you think escalating a marital (and political) argument from verbal to physical assault is proper...if you think (as the story also "seems to suggest") that leaving someone unconscious after hitting them with a vehicle, which entails a further risk of their death or disability due to delay in medical treatment, is reasonable...I don't think I can convince you otherwise.
Carville, Cargil, doesn’t matter, he’s one fugly dude.
Even if we assume all of the facts are true as reported, she still was not "justified" in running him over. If the facts are not as reported, then my opinion might change. However, it makes no sense to "assume" another set of facts based on your mistrust of the media. I'll form my opinions based on the information I have, but always be willing to modify that opinion as new information becomes available.
And this wasn’t even the actual recall! It was the primary to see which Democrat would oppose Walker.
Maybe she can vote absentee.
In Maine and Vermont, incarcerated felons can vote.
That is a business arrangement. Kinda like the clintoons.
Looks like Picasso barfed on that wall behind them.
Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned!
“Have we learned nothing from Hussein’s media’s war on America?
Why are we believing everything written in this article?”
Well here’s MY 2 cents. The Dems here in Wisconsin are in total shock and disbelief after yesterday’s vote. They are LOSING the big MO and losing the fight against the original reason for the Walker Recall which was ACT 10 new laws. Walkers reforms ARE WORKING for every county in this state.
The lefties in Wisconsin are ANGRY, disappointed, ANGRY, in disaray, did I say typical Democrat ANGRY?,the unions are fighting amongst themselves here (who to support now that Kathleen Falk lost big time) and the lefty media has no good celebratory stories to write this morning, so they have blown this goofy story way out of proportion. Does it say perhaps alcohol was involved? The media wants to make any Walker supporter look stupid. This too shall backfire.
The wind has been taken out of their sails here in WI. We are so very proud of Gov. Scott Walker and now the gloves come off for the June 5 recall. Watch us NOW, I say.
