Related: About this forumWIS. GOP misfires on Mary Burke's School Board attendance.
&feature=youtu.beThe Wisconsin Republican Partys latest attack ad against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke uses misleading video to suggest Burke didnt attend Wednesdays School Board meeting. In fact, Burke participated in the closed meeting by telephone, Madison School District spokeswoman Rachel Strauch-Nelson said.
And in a photo used in the video showing Burkes School Board name placard in front of an empty chair, Burkes purse and winter coat can also be seen, Burke spokesman Joe Zepecki said.

The photo of the School Board meeting is not from this week, according to board members. In fact, Wednesdays meeting was closed to the public as the board was discussing Superintendent Jennifer Cheathams evaluation, Strauch-Nelson said. Board member Ed Hughes said the members name placards shown in the video were not used at Wednesdays meeting, nor did did board president Arlene Silveira sit in the spot the photo shows her in.
Wisconsin GOP executive director Joe Fadness...is lower then a snakes belly.

I still can't believe that with all the money spent on the recall, he still won?

Sheeple believe anything they see on TV.

Now this.
Is this a foretaste of what we can expect after September?
Nothing but vicious mud-slinging from Walker?
Looks that way.

How on Earth does that happen? That was the prime opportunity to rid ourselves of him (The US overall). I certainly hope third time is the charm.
