Gov Walker's book has bold faced lie about 'violent protestors' http://www.bluecheddar.net/?p=36365 He's not for WI #wiunion #wipolitics #ctl #p2 #vets
http://www.bluecheddar.net/?p=36365
...This time its an allegation that protesters surrounded Scott Walkers car outside of a manufacturing plant in Wisconsin in Hudson, Wisconsin and began beating on the windows and rocking the vehicle and then a truck drove up to block its exit on Mar 15, 2011. Both Politico and FOX say this occurred not long after Walker announced he was removing collective bargaining rights from public workers through radical austerity legislation.
As we prepared to leave, the state troopers saw that the protesters had physically blocked the entrance we had used to come onto the property. So they turned the squad car around and headed toward the other exit. We watched in disbelief as the throng of people rushed toward the second exit to block our path, writes Walker, a potential 2016 presidential candidate.
As we tried to pull out, they surrounded the car and began beating on the windows and rocking the vehicle. Just as we extricated ourselves from their grip, a truck pulled up and blocked our path, playing a game of chicken with the troopers. They turned the lights and sirens on warning them to get out of the way. Eventually he backed up, and we sped off, he continued.
This is a lie. ......

(53,475 posts)I've been to numerous (~ dozen) Walker protests in Madison and elsewhere and at no time did I see a single protester behave badly, let alone violently. Lots of verbal abuse, no threats. None.

(2,574 posts)I remember Fake Koch offering to cook up some faux union violence against Scottie to gain public sympathy. Walker wasn't really opposed to the gambit, more just opined it wasn't good timing/i.e. nobody would believe it. But no dirty trick scenario ever goes to waste in these delusions of grandeur and victimhood...just stored away to lie about now.
I think that phone call should be played more often just to remind everybody that Walker has always been a lying Koch puppet.
