Warren dings Walker over comments on unions and ISIS

[Ellipsis]

Warren, who is closely aligned with progressive union groups, ripped Walker in a tweet Saturday for what some saw as a comparison between union members and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria:

"If Scott Walker sees 100,000 teachers & firefighters as his enemies, maybe it's time we take a closer look at his friends.”

In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, Walker said, “If I can take on 100,000 protestors, I can do the same across the world.”

Walker, a possible 2016 presidential candidate for the GOP, tried to walk back his comments after his speech, which drew criticism from the left.

7. Here's a Republican Heavyweight (not Christie) 'splainin' his self-made crisis...

"I’m just pointing out the closest thing I have to handling a difficult situation was the 100,000 protesters I had to deal with," Walker told reporters after his speech, according to the New York Times.

Enter Warren playing "gotcha politics"...I'm impressed with her, what she stands for and the classy, intelligent "teacher-like" way she says things. Get it Scott...she's a teacher and was feeling a kindred anger with those "scary protesters" out there wanting their jobs and decent pay. She doesn't feel sorry for you. In fact she has her political ruler poised over your knuckles as we speak.

Poor baby.

8. This is the problem we have........

We have governor who believes that Americans seeking to have the right to organize for wages/benefits and work rules in a peaceful, managed process is the same as ISIS/ISIL beheading people.

He sees ordinary working Americans as his enemy that is equal to ISIS. This is a mental condition. This is a person so far removed from reality as to make it scary. I'm only glad he doesn't have access to the nuclear launch codes because heaven forbid a union win a representation election in a factory somewhere and he would be using missiles or drones to take them out.

This man is not an American. He is a traitor and should be arrested, convicted and sentenced to life behind bars without possibility of parole.

9. He also believes that Reagan won the cold war...

by firing the air traffic controllers. Union protesters = ISIS and PATCO = USSR.
