2011 Wisconsin protests

"The 2011 Wisconsin protests were a series of demonstrations in the state of Wisconsin in the United States beginning in February involving at its zenith as many as 100,000 protesters opposing the 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, also called the "Wisconsin Budget Repair bill." Subsequently, anti-tax activists and other conservatives, including Tea Party advocates, launched small pockets of counter protests.

The protests centered on the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, with satellite protests also occurring at other municipalities throughout the state. Demonstrations took place at various college campuses, including the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. After the collective bargaining bill was upheld by the Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 14, the number of protesters declined to about 1,000 within a couple days.

The protests were a major driving force for recall elections of state senators in 2011 and 2012, the failed recall of Governor Scott Walker in 2012 and a contentious Wisconsin Supreme Court election in 2011."..........

“According to one University of Wisconsin professor, presidential candidate Scott Walker and mass-murdering dictator Adolf Hitler are so similar that it’s actually “terrifying.”

“My grandfather, a psychologist, just walked me through similarities between Walker and Hitler.

There are so many-it’s terrifying,” educational-policies professor Sara Goldrick-Rab tweeted on July 1.

Wouldn't "anti-poor" be a good thing?

I'm not a supporter of Walker's presidential bid, but I honestly don't understand why the ISIS analogy is so bad.

Putting aside the gruesome tactics, what exactly is the difference between public sector unions and a network of Islamic fanatics?

They're both using coercion as a means of forcing individuals who wouldn't otherwise support their philosophy to do so.
