Formatting is better on the link. This is a hard one for me to follow at the moment. I watched msnbc --? last Wed or Thursday Chris Hayes. He grilled her on the ad--I thought a bit hard on her but she stayed cool with facts.

Walker "pushes back"…against the truth? Nice try Journal Sentinel and PolitiFact!
Walker is stumped and confused! He’s outraged by the clever truth in Mary Burke's first ad.

Scott Walker is playing dumb, along with the media (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/PolitiFact). How else can you explain this embarrassing headline: “Scott Walker pushes back…!!!”

Is Mary Burke is lying? No, but she's being very clever. PolitiFact naively joined in this this:
Only if you think we're that dumb...

“…the ad claims unemployment is higher under Walker and provides figures indicating an increase from 4.8 percent to 6.2 percent. But the rate was much higher than 4.8 percent when Walker took office and it has gone down, not up, during his tenure … But the ad gives no indication that that is the comparison she is making.”

Funny, I knew what she was saying. I also thought it was a great jab at the Republican Governors Associations play on words blaming Doyle and Burke for the Great Recessions job losses (Politifact rated this MOSTLY FALSE). It's the same false message Walker's been using for years. Two could play that game, but in Burke's case, she didn't have to lie about it.........

1. I'm still confused as to how anyone could vote Scott Walker

or Paul Ryan for that matter. I already know the demographics logic, but it doesn't make it any more understandable. Why elect someone to destroy society?

2. I can't believe any public employee would vote for Walker,

But I know some who voted for him in the general election and the recall.

3. The hilarious part is that Wanker pressured the media to pull the ad for inaccuracies...

True: 11%
Mostly True: 15%
Half true: 20%
Mostly false: 17%
False: 29%
Pants on Fire: 8%

More than half of his public statements are deceptive, if not outright lies.
