Scott Walker imagines his "money shot" from David Koch.
1) More polls show that people are siding with teachers and state employees over Walker. General Stuck over at Balloon Juice makes a salient point:
Back when there were some adults in charge of the GOP and conservative movement, frontal assaults like this wouldn’t happen, unless initiated from the other side, like the air traffic controllers. Everything was done in a cloud of purposeful fog. The prime strategy for winger braintrust was to never get themselves into situations that created clear lines of contrast with liberals and their people friendly domestic policies, because when that happened the right wing would be exposed to their ultimate purpose and folks would side with the left, or dems. Only those issues where they knew they had the advantage, like tax cuts, were openly flogged. This must be making old gooper bulls like Jam Baker just shake their heads and sigh.
As I said: Overreach.
2) Scott Walker got a phone call from David Koch, the money behind the Tea Party. Only it wasn't Koch, it was a writer for the Buffalo Beast. A lot of pixels have been spilled on this. I like this take the best.
As has been said: Walker's a political bully. The bit about luring the Democrats back under a guise of truce and then violating that truce... classic asshole.
3) Finally, an assistant AG from Indiana - a Teatard, natch - suggests that we simply open fire on the Wisconsin protestors. I've often said the GOP wants to return to the Gilded Age, but I had no idea that included re-enacting the Pullman or Homestead Strikes.
It cannot be said enough: The far right is frakking dangerous.
