Part of me says good for them, but yet part of me says "wrong place, wrong time"

You be the judge.

1. They were silent, they didn't disrupt

that man causes a visceral reaction, a bad one, no matter what he is speaking at or on. I think the protesters did well in not doing anything to really disrupt. I can't stand the man, so I don't know if I would have done as well.

2. As a college student I volunteered for the special Olympics in Wisconsin..

Special Olympics is about giving everyone a chance...... Walker's brutal attack on working families via ALEC tool kit doesn't give working families a chance.... I'm ok with this protest and very proud that these people continue to make their presence known.....

3. He should be shunned by everyone ...

maybe then he would get the message.

[Enthusiast]

7. I wish his wife would

stop speaking to him, or something.

4. Just because they are silent does not mean they are not jerks.

They should have skipped this totally nonpolitical event.

[Enthusiast]

8. They should take every opportunity

to show their anger with Walker. What side are you on, anyway? Real Democrats hate Walkers fucking guts.

14. I'm on the side of the Special Olympians. Compassion trumps hate.

11. Walker protest

If the event was not political, what was a politician doing there speaking?

[Pterodactyl]

15. It was a ceremonial function.

5. i`m pretty sure the people behind the special olympics ...

know where walker stands and it ain`t with them.

there is never a wrong time to speak out against a person like walker.

6. Geez. Another post about a DICK.

[Enthusiast]

9. The nation is filled to overflowing with dicks!

Really.

[Plucketeer]

10. I'm with the protesters

Walker needs to be made to look bad AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY! "Snake" is too nice of a title for him.

12. They were silent.

I think that is what makes it ok in my book. If they'd been raucous that'd be something else again.
