Shortly after Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett admitted defeat in his effort to unseat Governor Scott Walker, a woman in the crowd slapped the mayor.
The angry voter reportedly was upset with Barrett for conceding the race while people were still standing in line, waiting to vote.
WISN’s Terry Sater covered the smack (see it about 30 seconds into the report):
A clearer version of the slap has now surfaced:

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 10:03amThe interesting thing is the stupid lib bag goes after Barrett as though it’s his fault, as if he lost because he wanted to. This is just another demonstration of how stupid libs/democrats really are. Then there are even nuttier libs. They want Walker dead. Some of their comments are posted in an article on Drudge. The respondents to that article are really sick. It appeared that a lot of them were black and all extra mean, like killer flies who’s pile of food had been disturbed.
Michel Moore, who’s looking more and more like a huge load (the flies, the stink), his disappointment over the loss s legendary. That alone is worth Scott Walker’s win.
Personally, if I were a Wisconsin voter, i‘d be madder than hell that this recall election happened and I’d let it be known.

Allen West? J.C. Watts? And the list goes on with stanch conservatives from every sector. However, on the liberal side you had Byrd, the liberal icon who was part of the KKK. Al Gore Sr. who tried to filbuster the Civil Rights act of ‘64, And, of course Al Sharpton, Rev. Wright, Jesse Jackson are the biggest racists out there. Three of the most prominent Tea Party organizers are black. David Webb, J.C. Watts, Herman Cain.
So, shut your mouth until you have facts.

Planned parenthood’s founder founded that organization in order to try to stem the birth rates of the black community. Al Gore Senior and LBJ both voted against the civil rights movement. Eugenics was also the science of the left all through the early 20th century. You also have planned parenthood again performing selective gender abortions. Yet conservatives are racist and against women. You don‘t see us pretending to be pro women’s rights and then lining up our wives to abort our children because they are female you hypocrite moron!

White people think Black people are all criminals. Black people think white people are all racist. It’s ignorance all around. A party affiliation has nothing to do with it.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 11:27amA little old lady weakly slapping a grown man in the face is not assault. Please everybody, quit perverting the laws in this country to the point of absurdity. Assault is beating the crap out of somebody-not yelling at them, or looking at them mean, or “touching” them. Just like kidnapping is abducting and taking somebody to another place by force against their will-not locking a kid in his room. Get fricking backbones people.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 7:55amMayor or no Mayor if that woman would have slapped me, she would be picking herself up off the floor. We have become too complacent with people who think they have the right to physically attack us as individuals. When Christ said turn the other cheek, he was talking to his disciple’s not the general public. He was telling them if you are teaching the gospel to someone and you overload their circuits and they haul of and slap you, turn the other cheek.
Report Post »Christ never said to the general public if someone strikes you, don’t defend yourself. This man needed to show this woman and all other people that you don’t slap him publicly, simply because you are angry over voter results. The Mayors actions toward this woman, indicated to all the people of the state of Wisconsin that this Mayor was willing to allow anybody to kick him around without any fear of recourse or retaliation. This Mayor showed his very weak character during this event.
Tell her to go try and slap Walker and see what happens, I bet the end result will not be the same.

One cannot assault a public official without legal ramifications. Perhaps someone in the law enforcement or legal community have something to add?
