Pic Of The Moment: Scott Walker Thinks Union Members Are Like ISIS

[EarlG]

Scott Walker is beyond sick - he compared labour unions to ISIS

Follow @demunderground

[sinkingfeeling]

1. I really haven't seen any ISIS protestors around.

[progressoid]

2. What an ass.

[Hissyspit]

23. He really, really is.

[homegirl]

3. So dim

he compares apples to oranges, and earns the everlasting wrath of union members everywhere. What a fool.

[tclambert]

4. I don't think ISIS will be quite as forgiving when he tries to cut their wages and benefits.

ISIS probably wouldn't try a recall vote. Doesn't seem bloody enough for them.

[Lifelong Protester]

21. You beat me to it.

[DhhD]

5. Walker has an execution mentality. He is a sociopathic killing machine of World Order, IMO. n/t

[Still In Wisconsin]

6. Maybe Scotty needs to go on a "trade mission " (wink wink) to Iraq or Libiya

He can give the local population some of the "tools" he is so fond of distributing.

[vi5]

7. Perfect.

More ammunition for the "What else are you gonna do? Vote for Republicans?" approach from the Democratic leadership.

[Enthusiast]

53. +1

[Aldo Leopold]

8. And he needs to work on his grammar.

[PeaceNikki]

9. His idea of "taking on" *US* protesters was escaping through underground tunnels.

[PeaceNikki]

10. This is a must see -

38. That first pic! I see DU too!

[PeaceNikki]

11. look at these scary animals, ffs!!

[Iliyah]

12. Walker is just as dense as W

which makes him very dangerous. He's got the Koch's empire backing. How in the hell did he win three re-elections, simple, total control over WI with this cronies. The GOP's plan - voter suppression and stealing.

[Still In Wisconsin]

15. He could actually be worse.

At least W finished college. Christ, Sarah Palin finished college. People call Walker "Palin in a tie" but I'm not even sure he's that smart. This is a small-time County Executive who has risen far beyond his talents, as others have written.

[PeaceNikki]

16. This ^

[AllyCat]

39. Spot on SiW

[3catwoman3]

41. The Peter Principle and...

...the Dunning-Kreuger effect all in one nifty little shifty-eyed package.

I was horrified when the recall did not succeed. (I live in Illinois.)

[Augiedog]

13. More than just Union members

There were hundreds of children at these rally's, there were thousands of husbands and wives, sons and daughters at the rally's. Governor 1% sees all of them as terrorists. His own states citizens are terroristic threats to his political ambitions. How American. No doubt we will all end up on watch lists and no fly lists.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. Remember the recall signature lists?

Scotty does.

[yurbud]

17. if anything, unions have gone way too easy on him. As soon as he started attacking unions...

his phones shouldn't have been answered, his office shouldn't have been cleaned, and locks on his bathroom should have been changed without giving him the new key.

[turbinetree]

18. How dare he

Walker equivocates that people that protest against his right wing policies are terrorists.
This right wing hypocrite that has and is being bought and sold by the ELITE Millionaires (Koch Brothers) and ELITE Billionaires (Sheldon Adelson) thinks that when citizens of Wisconsin protest under the PROTECTION of the FIRST AMENDMENT, they are associated with a group of murdering terrorists in the Middle East. How dare he!
What has Walker done for Wisconsin-restrict voting, gut public education, give tax breaks to the ELITE, have elections corrupted for financial gain, and use a public office and IS under investigation for and with his cronies in Wisconsin for campaign laws.
I think the citizens of this country and especially in Wisconsin deserve a apology--- and every day the citizens of Wisconsin should be at the capital demanding this apology----but don't hold your breath, he will be traveling around the world "punting" on evolution and climate change.
Let's not forget that his hero Ronald Reagan was a failure and he (Reagan) also said that the American labor movement were communists, so he, Reagan gets endorsement from some Unions and then turns right around and attacks unions.
What has a republican done to help this country in the 231 years of existence, excluding Lincoln (ended slavery), Eisenhower( helped the middle class), Teddy Roosevelt (stopped corporations) (they were progressive in there leadership to help the country and its citizens), what have the Walkers and other republicans done, give us a quantitative list of there accomplishments, except go to a yearly organization (CPAC= Conservative Paranoid Action Conference) and attack the very citizens of this country and call them terrorist or un-American?

[The Blue Flower]

30. Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild

He was for unions when he benefitted from one.

[turbinetree]

32. Read

Yes, he was with the Screen Actors Guild, but he also used that position to do some very nefarious things, like when he was the president he signed off on a document on the MCA to ignore a crucial rule in the SAG agreement.
I would suggest that you look at and read a book called "The Invisible Bridge", by Rick Perlstein, it brings back all the fun and games of one Ronald Reagan, and he is still a jerk, and he was in my opinion a protégé of and by one Lemuel Boulware

[The Blue Flower]

49. I recommend "President Reagan, the Role of a Lifetime" by Lou Cannon

Even more info there.

[marym625]

19. The fact this idiot has gotten as far as he has

Just proves the dumbing down of America.

[Enthusiast]

54. It does, in fact. But it also proves how horribly biased the media is.

Wisconsin voters probably see a very positive TV image of Walker, similar to how Kasich is portrayed to the people of Ohio. Very little criticism is allowed through the filters of corporate money. Disturbing.

[Sheepshank]

20. How much more insulting AND at the same time naive can Scott Walker get?

completely and utterly disgusting to conflate Union Members with ISIS.

AND just as idiotic is to assume that ISIS is as harmless at Union Members and can be handled the same way as a March of angry, yet peaceful human beings.

Way to go...idiot.

[MatthewStLouis]

22. Many of GOP candidates in waiting are...

buffoons, fools, swindlers, and tools, but he is truly their greatest outright arse-hole.

[nichomachus]

24. He actually said that the workers were worse than ISIS

The comparison "If I can handle X, then I can handle Y" means that X is worse than Y.

You might say, "If I can deal with a root canal, then I can deal with a filling." But it would be silly to say, "If I can deal with a filling, then I can deal with a root canal." That doesn't make any sense.

[Hissyspit]

25. Everyone read Act 3:

It shows how sleazy Walker and his cronies are:

[randys1]

26. But BOTH PARTIES are the same, I thought

[nichomachus]

29. How silly

No one ever said they were exactly the same. So your straw man fails. The externalities are different, but at the core, they both dance to the tune of the same people -- and those people aren't you or me.

Tide and Ivory Snow are very different, but they are both owned by Procter and Gamble.

[pansypoo53219]

27. walker is weasel smart. but he USED to look adorable to the rubes.

[appalachiablue]

37. He looks awful, bland, slack jawed, pasty and like a throw back to the worst of the 50s.

What an embarrassment and shame for Wisconsin and this country.

[C Moon]

28. R$ already tried the alienating the lower classes route...it didn't work.

[LeftishBrit]

31. This is BEYOND disgusting!

[rladdi]

33. Walker, not really for prime time, or to be a real leader.

Walker is a puppet of the Koch brothers whos mission is to destroy the people and WI. Koch has one mission in the USA. Destroy America, city by city, state by state. Koch brothers with the full support of the Republicans are the real ISIS. They are the ones will will destroy America.
Gov. Walker is just trying to take away the power of the people, the collective vote from the people.
Walker is not a leader. he is a slam lord of the Koch brothers.

[father founding]

34. BOK,BOK

Another chickenhawk running off at the mouth.

[blkmusclmachine]

35. Koch

sucker

[Thor_MN]

36. I worry more about the threat of Wisconsin under Walker washing up on the North Shore of

Lake Superior...

[Major Hogwash]

40. Weasel words from a nobody.

Walker doesn't have any national appeal.

[Initech]

42. Worst governor ever!

[47of74]

43. Hey Scott Walker

Fuck you.

And also...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

44. To Scott, they really do look like terrorists and ISIS.

Because in that underpowered, pea-sized brain of his, they pose a clear and present danger to his reality and political existence.

[47of74]

45. Pea sized?

My apologies, but isn't that a bit generous?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

47. Heh. Heh heh. Hahahaha. HEE HEE HEE!

Yeah, I screwed up with that one.

[47of74]

51. No problem.

[TBF]

46. I think at the next protest we need to drive in

some of the other farm machinery. Tractors are pretty tame. Then he can get a taste of what it really might be like to fight ISIS. Let's see if he's man enough to show up for that. My guess is that he'd be in the tunnels before you could say "boo".

[NewJeffCT]

48. Oh come on - that old guy in the red cap

has a vicious streak a mile wide - he once yelled at some kids to get off his lawn! And, I heard the lady in the dark glasses on the right once refused to bake cookies for her grandchildren!

Now, can't you see how comparable they are to ISIS?

[Matariki]

52. If 100,000 of your CONSTITUENTS show up where you work -

you really have the obligation to hear them out. You know, as opposed to "take them on".

[Enthusiast]

55. Like a dumber version of Bush but with less empathy.
