Folks in Madison, WI, be on guard tomorrow for right wing shenanigans.

[madfloridian]

The GOP is absolutely tasteless. They think this stuff is funny. They bragged about it in SC, but some pictures showed only a few appeared. They talk big, but people are waking up. Maybe someone can get pictures. SC had a scream contest, too. They need to grow up a little.

Madison, WI)…In response to DNC Chairman Howard Dean’s scheduled appearance at the Orpheum Theater in Madison tomorrow, July 13 for a Democratic Party of Wisconsin fundraiser, Republicans will rally with a show of their own.
The counter event will be held from 4:30pm-6:30pm at the State Bar and Grill, 118 State Street. Conservative talk show personality Vicki McKenna from WIBA NewsTalk 1310 will be broadcasting live. The show will include a Howard Dean Scream Contest, Howard Dean trivia, and interviews with top officials in the GOP. There will be prizes and giveaways.

“This will be a great opportunity to energize our base and show Dean and the Democrats that we won’t stand for his out-of-line attacks on the integrity and character of our party,” said Rick Graber, chairman of The Republican Party of Wisconsin. “Dean’s comments are so egregious it’s comical. How fitting that his event is being held at a theater.”

All states can do to counter this crap is to be aware ahead of time, and try to be prepared to make them look their foolish selves.

[RevCheesehead]

1. They're going to do this in Madison?

Good luck - they'd be lucky to draw 50 people. :rofl:

[madfloridian]

2. Would be interesting to see how many.

They can not even think of intelligent things to do. I hope Democrats there will point out their silliness.

[RevCheesehead]

3. If Madison had 50 republicans,

then they bussed them in from Jefferson County. :evilgrin:

[Lefty48197]

4. "Integrity and character of our (Republican) party" ???

HILARIOUS! Maybe they have futures as comedians?

[madfloridian]

5. " interviews with top officials in the GOP"

Wonder what top officials will be there. Prizes and giveaways. LOL

[Gold Metal Flake]

38. Prizes and giveaways.

Which means bribes and quid pro quo.

[Rude Horner]

6. I've been a lifelong resident of Madison, WI ...

...and the liberal bumper stickers outnumber the repuke bumper stickers 100 to 1. They're holding this conservative rally on State Street? Oh, that should be sweet. Right near campus. The college kids will love tearing into these bastards. :rofl:

Oh, and I didn't know Vicki McKenna was a conservative talk show host. I primarily listen to AAR. Last I remember of Vicki McKenna, she was a two bit co-host of the teenie bop radio station, Z104. Oh, and I seem to remember her involved in some drunken driving scandal a few years back, but the details escape me. I do remember they published her mug shot in the paper and it would make Nick Nolte's mug shot look good. hehehe

[madfloridian]

7. Vicki McKenna strikes sexy pose against a flag...scroll down.

http://www.wiba.com/hosts.html

Boy, that sounds like so much fun to me. LOL

I would love to find that picture in a larger version.

[Rude Horner]

9. Just right click on the pic

and save it as a jpg. Then just open the file to get the big view.

[madfloridian]

11. Like this.

[madfloridian]

13. Madison is a city of chaos? LOL

I did not catch that at first.

[Contrary1]

14. Talk about desecrating the flag. n/t

[GoneOffShore]

26. And guess what

her email address is right there. So, if you really don't like her use of the flag as a decoration, or her freeptard politics you could send her an email telling her so.
And flood her email box with ads for incontinence products, not that I would do such a thing.

[wallwriter]

30. Yeah, go ahead and *wrap* yourself in the flag.

[madfloridian]

31. "The Voice of Change in the City of Chaos" desecrating the flag.

[zulchzulu]

41. Vicki McKenna is a scanky Repug with a brain to match

If you ever listen to her, she has a wonderful way of over-yelling her callers and then going into a blood-filled smoker's cough becuase she's too stupid to hit the cough button. The few times I've listened to her, that was always a "feature".

If I get near her, I might pull out the Raid...Repug cooties are nasty.

10. I'd love to see a few veterans, or soldiers' relatives, show up to ask,

"You think this is funny? You think Howard Dean's scream is important? You want to hear some screams? Enlist. Here are the forms."

[madfloridian]

12. Excellent!

And offer to lead them to the recruitment office. The College Republicans pulled the same thing in SC. Someone posted a video here, I think. It was so stupid.

[faithnotgreed]

33. sparkly!! this is an amazing and right on post. how awful that i can say

that...

hugs to you and everyone who has suffered from this insanity

[msongs]

36. sparkly says: show up with enlistment forms..........

and I'd like to add: volunteer to help fill them out...with the cameras rolling.

edited to say: bring lots of signs and wave them around, "enlist now" etc

[cry baby]

15. I hope they have a port-a potty available!

One should probably do it for probably a turn out of about 20...

[madfloridian]

16. Ah, yes, I forgot how they love their port-a-potties.

I remember the Free Republic showings at the anti-war rallies, often as few as 12. They had plenty of potties, but they never shared.

[cry baby]

18. Ahhh, good memories!

[burythehatchet]

17. What a GREAT idea

What kind of contests could we do?

How about a Bush bicycling contest

[madfloridian]

19. How about Bushisms? Who can repeat the most?

That would be one thing.

[zulchzulu]

20. We have Dean's back...

Vicki McKenna is a trolip...she needs an elephant trunk stuck up her poopshoot.

Poor elephant.

[madfloridian]

22. LOL

Well, she sure loves that flag, you know. :evilgrin:

Take some pics.

[zulchzulu]

24. I'll have some video...

I'm also lookin' for any Rethugs that might want to embarrass themselves.

:toast:

[ClassWarrior]

21. I just hope they don't try to pull anything at Gov. Nelson's memorial...

...service tomorrow. I know Dean and the Wisconsin Dems can handle them at the Orpheum.

NGU.

[paineinthearse]

23. Counter the counter

Simple. Call all your friends, tell them to go to the State Bar and Grill by 4PM and fill the place.

The rethugs won't be able to get in.

[ClassWarrior]

27. Brilliant! As usual! They don't call you p.i.t.a. for nothing... LOL

I hereby request you post this idea in the Wisconsin forum. Maybe we can get a big crowd there before the Dean event!

NGU.

[madfloridian]

25. They are hyping this at the state GOP website. So childish.

http://www.wisgop.org/Home.aspx

http://www.wisgop.org/site/Viewer.aspx?iid=3402&mname=Article&rpid=802

How silly this is.

[madfloridian]

28. One of our group sent an email to the Madison DFA group.

Any attention we can get to this.

[zulchzulu]

32. We've got it covered...

The only thing that needs to happen is that we expose the Rethugs acting like assholes...there will be a cadre of video cameras to document anything that might come up.

Bank on it.

[madfloridian]

35. That sounds great!

I can not believe the state party website for the GOP is hyping such stupidity. Darn, I wish I could be there.

[zulchzulu]

40. I'll keep you posted

Wish you were here too.

Knowing how inane most Repugs are, it should be interesting. I'm guessing it will be a small crows though, due to Repugs usually dodging out if they face any kind of honest response.

They're used to events where the Secret Service does their screening for them. This event will provide a hearty response against them.

[Greybnk48]

29. Interesting...Madison is solid blue

and always has been. Anyone who knows Madison knows this (I live 100 miles north east, but did my grad work there). And on State street no less!!! This could get ugly. I fear for the freepers (not).

[htuttle]

46. The downtown wards were also the only ones in the state...

...that Howard Dean won during the WI primary.

Don't think they could find a more hostile audience for their anti-Dean spew if they tried.

[faithnotgreed]

34. read post #10 everyone - please

incredibly sad and so true

love for everyone who has suffered at the hands of this cabal

[madfloridian]

37. You are so right. Veterans should show up with righteous anger.

How dare they act like this, like the College Republicans in SC did, screaming and acting stupid.

Great idea, but sad one.

[faithnotgreed]

39. exactly! thats just how it struck me. and it did strike me nt

[Bullwinkle925]

42. Hopefully people in Madison will contact their Congress representatives

to PUSH for Congressional hearings regarding the Downing Street Memo and Karl Rove treasonous outing of a CIA operative. To hell with the Repug idiots.

43. Vicki McKenna: Disorderly Conduct arrest 1997 at a U2 concert!

McKenna: No contest

Radio personality Vicki McKenna, who co-hosts the morning show on WZEE (104.1 FM) with Marc Anthony, pleaded no contest Tuesday to two misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges.

McKenna, who was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest during a U2 concert at Camp Randall Stadium last June, was referred to the First Offenders' program in the Dane County district attorney's office.

The resisting arrest charge was amended to disorderly conduct.

: : I seem to recollect reading that Vicki McKenna was arrested for drunk and disorderly at Camp Randall. I think it was the Rolling Stones concert. Just for laughs I ran a CCAP search, but noda. Of course, her on air name may be just that. Anybody remember hearing about this incident?

: : Yeah, our radio personalities have a right to a private life, but considering McKenna's highly public moralist stances, this would seem quite hypocritical if this did happen. Plus, McKenna is big time in favor of conceal and carry. Does this mean she'd be packing AND drunk?

:
: It was 1997 (7 years ago), U2 was the band, not the Stones. It was disorderly conduct, one count. I got 50 hours of community service, and a fat fine. I've talked about it on every station I've been on--numerous times. Where've you been? What does it have to do with conceal and carry legislation? Did you read the bill?

UW police Lt. Dale Burke Thursday said she was ``verbally and physically combative'' after a disturbance in the stands.

McKenna, 29, whose real name is Vicki Pyzynski, was booked into the Dane County jail on the two criminal misdemeanors and spent the night there.

The booking record noted her tattoos: ``Wolf on back, snake on chest.''

Burke said she asked for a preliminary breath test, in which she tested 0.15. Legal intoxicationfor driving is 0.10.

Just Happened To Coincide

Wisconsin State Journal :: Local/Wisconsin :: 1B
Monday, June 30, 1997
Pat Simms

Don't read anything into the fact that the billboard advertising on the West Beltline Highway near Todd Drive for WZEE-FM (104.1) morning hosts Marc Anthony and Vicki McKenna is gone.

The folks at Adams Outdoor Advertising said the billboard was changed Friday morning as part of a normal rotation and had nothing to do with the fact that McKenna was arrested Wednesday at the U2 concert for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

\ Whatever happened to . . .

The two misdemeanor charges against Vicki McKenna, who co-hosts the morning show on WZEE-FM (104.1) with Marc Anthony?

McKenna, who was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest during a U-2 concert at Camp Randall Stadium last June, is facing a final pre-trial hearing at 9 a.m. Tuesday before Dane County Circuit Judge Dan Moeser.

Assistant District Attorney Jonathon Kaiser said Thursday the state has offered McKenna a deal. The case will either be settled Tuesday or a trial will be scheduled, he said.

[madfloridian]

45. But she sure loves the flag...a little sarcasm.

She is leading the charge against Howard Dean? How very very nervy.

[Ian David]

48. She's got a great face for radio, too

Not very easy on the eyes, is she?

[GoneOffShore]

49. Just sent her

an enlistment form.
Second email I sent.
In the first one I told her that she would lose her job under a Taliban Christofascist regime, cause she would be in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.
Her respone.
"LOL. This is a keeper."

[Norquist Nemesis]

47. ummm....Mr. Graber! Integrity and character

don't exist in the Anti-Democratic party you espouse. Get a clue, Mister! Dean has more integrity and character in his little finger than all of you Anti-Democrats combined.
