What the fuck? These pieces of SHIT must be scared, DAMN scared, but that's really too goddamned bad! This is America?

WILL SOMEONE HELP STOP THIS, PLEASE?

1. We certainly have a bunch of characterless, weak-kneed

republicans running our state. One thing about republicans though, never underestimate their ability to stoop to new lows.

[SharksBreath]

2. They aren't republicans. The republican party is dead.

They are nothing more than corporate fascists.

[Marnie]

4. They are Repubicans, Repocons, who have chosen who they want

as their supporters and who control their talking points ruthlessly.

Just ask Rush,the Republicans hit man, how far a Republican is allowed to stray from absolute obsequiousness.

[Sportsguy]

5. Exactly (nt)

[pacalo]

6. I agree. And they most definitely are not "conservative". Both labels belong in the waste bin.

They are "fascists", which is not too strong a word for their beliefs.

[Marnie]

3. Police and other civil servants are haveing their wages and

benefits cut and their jobs taken away.

So the big issue should be, who is paying these pigs to break the law, and brutalize the very citizens were are trying to correct the system that is destroying police union contracts and cutting police forces.

Cops can't be so stupid as to not realize they are harming their strongest supporters.

Where is the fix and who is financing it?

7. Cops are blue collar workers, they have rarely supported these kinds of protests.

They view especially student protestors as privileged and spoiled kids, thinking "I show up for work every day and these spoiled middle class kids should finish up their education and start working instead of goofing around".

One of the few instances where workers and protestors came together was in Europe in 1968, where labour in France shut the country down completely in sympathy to the brutal tactics of the Gaullist regime. But even then the cops were beating peoples heads in.

Not to mention Chicago in 68. "Mayor Daley gave me this job, i grew up in poverty, and these spoiled brats and hippies are coming here making demands".


Its that same dynamic today, and you can see it in this counter OWS movement where people are arguing that they work hard and that they hare just happy they have a job. Its almost like the working class has a Stockholm syndrome in their relationship to the so-called "Job Creators".

22. Cops are blue collar workers, they have rarely supported these kinds of protest

Oh... you mean anti-intellectualism.

The Bush administration was the triumph of that.

It's the thing that ties the poor, blue collar ignoramuses to the wealthy "I deserve this wealth" ignoramuses.

Freaky... huh?

[Lars77]

23. Its really sad. I am from a working class background myself and thought like that

until i took advantage of one of those tuition free universities my socialist country provides ;)

But seriously, that has always been the problem, working class people who show up for work every day of their lives, working hard and making an honest living do not like to be told that they are being tricked. Especially not by an academic who realistically wouldnt last half a day as a truck driver or a plumber.

Their work ethic, that the honorable thing to do is to work hard is well and fine but it has been exploited by the powers that be since the beginning of time.


Dang i sound like Marx :)

[Scuba]

24. Actually, at least many of the cops are on the side of the protesters....

... and they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They need their jobs, and the health insurance that comes with those jobs.

Interactions between officers and the public were incredibly cordial in Madison last spring. Of duty officers were front-and-center highly visible protesters.

8. When lawmakers don't know the law...

How stupid can you get.

So, there's no question if youy just have a T-shirt with a message on it.

I'm trying to find a T with one of those "V" masks on it.
I think wearing them around on the stree would do a lot to show support of the
peopel doing the OWS thing.

Hey, if you can't be there....
Imagine 99% of the people on the street wearing a "v" mask T-shirt!!!!!

[socialindependocrat]

10. E-bay has Guy Fawkes shirts

You can Google the shirts but they have a bunch on e-Bay

9. Each and every one of these silent protestors

should bring civil cases against those responsible for their arrest and trampling their 1st amendment rights.

Denying a person their "guaranteed" civil rights should be a very costly endeavor. Whether these retardlicans are required to pay or whether it is the state government, these people must be reimbursed for the loss of their constitutional rights.

The police who are the lackeys and do the dirty work for these "politicians", know that what they are doing is illegal. The swore to protect us, the citizens, yet they are protecting these mental infants from possibly being exposed to the truth.

If there were real justice in WI. or America, these police would be terminated and the politicians or the state that they are supposed to represent, would be fined millions of dollar.

All of them should be shunned for being the Fascists that they are

[The Wielding Truth]

17. I agree 100%. I would like to know who gave the order to arrest.

[pam4water]

11. The police and the staffers and assemblyman who ask them to leave should be sued too.

[midnight]

25. Anyone know who the blond staffer was? Or the member in yellow?

[Bennyboy]

12. This needs to go viral. Send it everywhere and anywhere....

All over da place. Tot he news desks at the networks and the local stations.. Pay attention too the Cleveland arrest of last night too:

13. On the positive side

The behavior of the Authorities and the subsequent attention that it brought will only energize people. If the PTB think that they can intimidate us into submission, they are delusional.

WE NO LONGER FEAR YOU!!

[Democracydiva]

15. I wonder

if veterans sitting there in uniform would be removed so easily..

[formercia]

18. Marines are disciplined and understand that violence is counterproductive

I think they would be more likely to be proactive and keep individuals and provocateurs from inciting the crowd.

I also think that any Whiteshirts will think twice before trying to snatch someone out of the crowd.

[Ed Suspicious]

14. This has been happening for months

in Wisconsin. It just keeps playing over and over again. Protesters protest sometimes quietly, sometimes disruptively, always resulting in the same removal from the chambers. Usually the arrest-ees are released once outside the door with instruction not to return that same day. Segway Jeremy Ryan and his clan have been on it for a long time. I know at one point he was walking around with an attorney who was documenting the abuses presumably for use in court.

[hue]

19. this is an outrageous infringement of our democracy & rights!!

Why is this continuing???

[PatrynXX]

20. Well thanks to the anti americans in madison's capitol

We pretty much have this massive Occupy movement. SO I guess Kudos to the anarchists so called Republicans trying to decontrol the capitol in Madison. We had a field trip up there years ago. Was supposed to be a place to watch and do free speech. Ho Hum... keep it going. remind everyone why Walker needs to be recalled...

[Scruffy1]

21. The Democrats are awful.

What a bunch of weak kneed jerks. Had to turn off at the second speaker who just thought they used too any cops. With defenders like these we are in big trouble. They have all the passion of a wet rag.

[DeSwiss]

26. TPTB are getting more and more scared.

- And if they don't relent, they haven't seen anything yet.
