Remember when so many pundits were trying to convince America that violent, hateful rhetoric was an epidemic on the right, and that conservatives were generally hateful people? Well, the Wisconsin Republican Party has put together a video using evidence from this week‘s liberal protests against the governor’s emergency budget bill that uncovers plenty of angry rhetoric from the left.
Besides showing examples of such rhetoric, the video cleverly juxtaposes the evidence with accusations and calls for civility from the left:

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 8:03pmThis was not a field trip. I live in Wisconsin, these teachers called in sick,and rallied the students together to go downtown to protest. And the students are also just protesting because they believe that teacher’s are being “wronged.” Most of these kids don’t even know what is going on. In Madison you can get around pretty easy, so kids can go where they want to during the day, walk, bus, drive, without their parents even knowing about it. ie parents go to work, kids go to protest with their teachers.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 8:44amWisconsin is but the first state to undergo this hate filled demon unleashed by the “Public Sector” unions and their acolytes. They are planning on physically beating up anyone who gets in their way and using the lowest forms of propaganda to defeat their opponents. Learn how to recognize “Asserted Conclusions”, “Band Wagon Appeal” and other forms of propaganda because that is all they have left, short of hitting people with clubs and worse. The freedom loving, patriotic Americans I associate with will not tolerate this type of intimidation and any politician who panders to them will see their glory days gone for good at election time. If that doesn’t work, then the “real men” in the crowd will get fed up and take matters in their own hands at some point and it won’t be pretty.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 10:01amThe nerve of some people, peacefully gathering and protesting to express their concerns and demand attention be given to their point of view. Maybe if they were dressed like Confederate soldiers people here would support their patriotism. Symbols are much more important than reality to right wing extremist conservatives. That’s why Glenn Beck saw his prediction of a miracle in DC come true when a goose flew overhead. Thank god there were no real men in Beck’s crowd that day, or things might have gotten ugly.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 8:38amI assume that when the governor was running for office he didn’t keep it a secret that the state is broke and he would have to make serious cuts in the budget that would effect everyone. Therefore the majority of the people of the state gave him the ok to do what he thinks needs to be done. The unions need to sit down, shut up, go back to the classroom and teach the kids, though I do think the teachers who dragged kids to the rally need to be fired.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 10:00amSo true. The union people think that they are owed the money that the large pensions promise. Many union people do not understand that what they paid into their pensions isn’t enough to cover living for an extra 20-30 years. Their mentality is that they worked for this and deserve it. They don‘t understand that the funds simply aren’t there to support the large payouts promised.

I I took a union job and I was unfairly laid off and found out how “great” it really was. Unions are simply a legalized crime ring and need to be stopped.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 9:48amSeveral times during the past few decades the SAT has been dumbed down to accommodate for the indoctrination techniques used in public schools by Liberals. One modification was removal of the analogies section, which used to test the ability of children to reason. Needless to say, if you are indoctrinating people you don’t want them to get into the practice of digging too deep mentally and that’s why there is such a deplorable lack of common sense in our society today. When children, who have been told what to believe instead of how to reason, they grow up into mindless zombies who believe anything they’re told by their indoctrinators, regardless of whether reality supports what they’ve been told.

Personally, I think that no state hireling is ever going to care about your kids’ future as much as you do, and that home school is a patriotic duty that should be practiced by most parents, private school is a second best that should be practiced by parents who absolutely can‘t teach and public school is a bottom of the barrel option that should be kept open on a very minimal basis for kids whose parents don’t care about them, so they have some option.

And what do the teachers do via the union direction. Pitch a damn fit, strike and even take your kids with them to the streets. Hear me! If there was ever a time for push back it is now.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 9:05amThe story that’s not getting out:
“The unions are scared to death they will lose their gravy train, you are forced to join the union upon state employment as a condition of employment, what is more tyrannical than that? So, now, the workers would be able to CHOOSE to join the union or not, and many will leave it. The rest will have to cut an actual check to the union each month, instead of having it garnished from their check, and the union knows people will get tired of that. THAT is what this is really about.
Our benefit package in WI is almost 2nd to none in the US for state workers, this is a minor sacrifice when all is said and done. Under our former Democratic Governor, we had to take a 3% paycut the last two years in the form of mandatory furloughs. Walker intends to stop that, so we could regain that money, couple that with union dues we get back for quitting the union and it’s nearly a wash on the slight increase in pension and health care costs. That proves this is not about those changes, but about a political agenda by the left and the unions being threatened.”

Report Post »A little known law that ALL unions are supposed to make their members aware of is called Beck’s Law. But the unions DO NOT tell their members. Why? Keep reading.The Supreme Court’s Beck Decision Recognizes Individual Worker Rights: In 1989, the U. S. Supreme Court established what are now known as “Beck rights” in the landmark decision Communication Workers v. Beck, Beck rights dictate that workers cannot be forced under union contracts to pay any dues or fees beyond those necessary for the performance of the union’s employee representation duties. In other words, any worker who objects to his union’s use of his dues money for purposes not directly related to collective bargaining is entitled to a refund of that portion of his dues. Beck rights are a triumph of individual rights over the political weight of union leaders. Workers in labor unions DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR UNION BOSSES POLITICAL ACTIONS. All the member needs to do is notify the union they do not want their dues used for anything other than those directly related to collective bargaining, they will get a refund of their dues money. Look here for more information: http://www.mackinac.org/article.aspx?ID=1403

On second thought, a private contractor-built prison would be much more secure!

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 1:09pmWhere’s the outcry from the Left Liberals about the Cross Hairs and some of the other things said there? Hypocrites, all of the left! We are Broke as a Country, and the same people whom put us here is the same ones trying to destroy us! Unions, all funding needs to be pulled and taken from them! Yes Police and Fire Unions work for their people, but any other union is just abusing the system!….

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 1:37pm@ IAMIR…As a physician I treat people every day and get stiffed for the bill. We write off nearly 25% every year to bad debt. This combined with the ever decreasing reimbursements. I think these workers can make some relatively small concessions to help balance a state budget. I believe they should be grateful they have jobs at all. Many in this country do not. It makes little difference at this point why we are in the mess we are. I could point to all kinds of ridiculous entitlement programs meant to make voters dependent on politicians to help them keep their positions selling me and everyone else out for their own greed and lust for power. The bottom line this is about politics not money. Unions are nothing more than legalized mafioso any more. They have driven many companies and states into the ground. As a tax payer i disagree strongly with you that these people are somehow being unjustly dealt with. Let‘s just suppose we do what you suggest and give them all the pie in the sky that’s been promised. When Wisconsin goes literally belly up guess what!! Now they don’t have any job !!! Yeah that makes little sense what you stated. I routinely take less on a bill then what the fee schedule is because someone ran into financial trouble. Was it my fault? No but it is what is needed and what needs to be done !!!!!!

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 4:07pmAHHHHHHHHH…AHHHHHHH. I’ve heard this kind of rhetoric before….in the 70′s… it’s painful to bring it up…..
Hey madison, wisc parents- did you sign a permission slip for your child to take part in a rally filled with commies and union thugs? What if violence broke out and poor little penelope got her face re-arranged? Would it be the school districts fault or would you have sued the unions? Your children have now entered useful idiot status. Congrats to you and your young scholar.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 6:39pmThe unions were run by criminals from the outset, and as for these “teachers”, who in hell would want a participant of this mindless, disgusting pack of garbage “teaching” their children. All these ba$t@rds are doing is indoctrinating our children to think like communists. Reaganize them, same as the air traffic controllers. Whatever we would get has to be better than these (censored)!!

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 7:56pmIt is time for all of the people to stand united against the unions! We can overwhelm them and force them to back down and start acting like responsible citizens. The rank and file, for the most part, are not in favor of what their bosses are doing. Trumpka, Stern and the other union bigwigs have been using their member’s dues to become powerful political movers and shakers while convincing their members that they are invincible. They are not. It’s time to stand up to them.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 8:05pmI have finally lost the little respect I had left for Obama. He would be better suited to replace Andy Stern as the head of SEIU. I hope he gets run out of office before he destroys what little freedom we still have.
