Walker: Protesters Prepared Him to Confront Global Terrorism





Walker: Protesters Prepared Him to Confront Global Terrorism

OXON HILL, Md. — Feb 26, 2015, 10:34 PM ET
By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

Associated Press



.............Asked how he would handle the Islamic State group if elected president, Walker said, "For years I've been concerned about that threat, not just abroad but here on American soil."

"If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world," he said.



..................

Walker's comments drew sharp reaction from union leaders.

"It's disgusting that Gov. Walker would compare everyday heroes — educators — to international terrorists," said Betsy Kippers, a teacher and president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council.

"Gov. Walker, I know terrorism. I know that your own state's citizens speaking up for what's right isn't terrorism," said Jim Tucciarelli, a union representative in New York City whose office was one block away from the 9/11 attacks. "Today, after hearing your words, I also know the sound of cowardice."............







............................

Walker further embarrasses himself and Wisconsin--but teabaggers will make him a hero again!

He'd better define "take on" as I don't remember seeing him in Madison ANY of the times I was there, and I was there often, and tried to see him (coward that he is).

for the republican presidential race. The repub's think Obama doesn't love America. This asshole thinks a big segment of Americans are terrorist! He's a hateful evil piece of frog excrement floating in the polluted rivers of Koch brothers urine in the toilet known as the Republican party. It's time someone pulled the handle and flushed this mess down. Sorry for being so graphic but I really can't stand this man. Nothing makes me want to swear more.
