He claims we are protesting a Special Olympics tax exemption. What a lying asshole!

1. Were you there, what actually happened - can you describe what this might be based on if anything -

This is really getting weird - before this all started I had no idea to what degree they just flat out lied. EG the whole business about the (supposed) damage to the capitol.

2. I wasn't but I'm a facebook friend of a number of the civil disobedients at the capitol

and they assured me that nothing like that nothing of the sort happened.

"I don't think that incident ever happened. He may have been taking a secret vote at the time on tax issues which no one in the gallery knew was going on.". That was a quote from one of them.

3. There are better ways to disagree?

How? I should ask him how. Our democratic legislators are not even allowed to discuss without being cut off, all amendments offered are rejected. There is no talking to these people?

4. Walker amounts to nothing more than a tinhorn dictator ...

... and his NEOCONS buddies at the Assembly and Senate are marching in lock step with Walker and along party lines. They are at the edge of the cliff and one can only hope they take a giant step forward.
