[malaise]

of Wisconsin tomorrow Dems will be having a presser - Walker and his goons - looks like fraud and using felons

[Greybnk48]

1. Please, please, please be good news. Please.

We can't take much more bad news (or some of us can't).

[Merlot]

2. They just put in their 5th recall petition - that's pretty good news!

[SusanaMontana41]

19. That would be welcome, wouldn't it?

All of us are wore out, methinks.

6. WTF are you talking about?

This announcement is about fraudulent signature gathering.

This place is simply infested today.

[Vinnie From Indy]

16. Whatever! I think most DU'ers will see exactly what you are up to!

cheers!

[shraby]

4. I missed it, any idea what it's about? Did he give any hints

of what he meant?

[highplainsdem]

5. We've seen at least one topic here already about the felon(s). The fraud is apparently

something to do with Republicans asking people if they support a Democratic senator, then asking them to sign "if you want to see that senator on the ballot" -- without explaining that what they're signing is a recall petition.

The felon I read about was from Colorado and was caught after another crime.

7. That's sneaky. Do you have a link? n/t

[highplainsdem]

8. No link yet -- just what I heard on The Ed Show. Should be more details tomorrow.

[highplainsdem]

9. Just did some googling of likely keywords, but couldn't find anything tonight.

[dmr]

11. Thanks, I had Googled too, & didn't see anything, either. n/t

[tsuki]

10. I heard the felons were casing the homes where they collected the signatures. I don't

know where and I tried to google.

21. I wouldn't put it past these thugs to just add citizens names to the list, either

I wonder if there is a way constituents can find out if their names are on these lists illegitimately.

[bluestateguy]

13. I remember "Fitzmas" and the old "24 business hours" line

So I'll just take a wait and see approach.

[travelingtypist]

17. We should form a DU Cynics group.

Yeah, I remember that, too.

[Contrary1]

14. Maybe this?

Republicans Hire Out-Of-State Felons To Collect Recall Signatures For Democrats

"Here is a police report from the Green Bay Police Department detailing how a convicted felon from Colorado was hired to come into Wisconsin as a paid employee to solicit signatures to recall Democratic State Senator Dave Hansen. There was a break in into the group's office, but it was likely an inside job, since their "employees" are recruited felons.

I hope all of the right-wingers that blindly donate to the Republican party can finally see where their cash is going - into the pockets of felons - you know, the ones that can't even vote..."

18. Ed wasn't making those claims himself

It was his guest, an activist or journalist. The guy made these claims and Ed seemed surprised by them. I didn't catch his name, but he said the details would be released tomorrow.

[glinda]

20. Walker is a crook. He hires crooks all the way around.

[Cleita]

22. Is this about petition gatherers buying drinks to

get signatures to recall Democrats? That's coming up on his show today April 21, 2011. Rachel already aired some of it.

[malaise]

23. Yep

Ed has another great program tonight
