— Ace Chilling stuff, really.
It will be allowed to continue because the media does not report on it -- if they reported on it, it would embarrass the union thug/left-liberal side, and they would realize it is politically counterproductive.
But since the media won't embarrass them with it, it's a freebie -- they get all the upside of a death threat and none of the downside.
Plus... The above analysis only holds if this is just a threat. If it's more than that -- an actual plan to commit murder -- well, then the media will be complicit in the deaths. Not just biased, but murderous.
It's also at Big Government.
Rioters also tried to break in the windows of the senators' cars.
Senate Republicans were harried by swarming crowds. “We tried to get out of the building after the vote, because they were rushing the chamber, and we were escorted by security through a tunnel system to another building. But, after being tipped off by a Democrat, they mobbed the exit at that building, and were literally trying to break the windows of the cars we were in as we were driving away,” Republican senator Randy Hopper tells NRO. Such tactics, he sighs, were hardly unexpected. “I got a phone call yesterday saying that we should be executed. I’ve had messages saying that they want to beat me with a billy club.”
Note they had a secret method of exit, as a security measure, and a Democrat tipped off the mob, deliberately putting his fellow representatives in danger of bodily harm.
I hope the Republicans remember that.

You notice a distinct chronological correlai5ton between when the WI repubs found out their recalls were being coordinated out of Chicago and the decision to split the bill and get the job done.
I guarantee you Chicago's involvement pissed the Rs off something fierce, causing them to ACT.

This is why I have to yawn at a 'PR War' discussion.
We're all spitballing on a blog. These Republicans in WI are actually putting their life (and their family member's) on the line as evidenced by lunacy of the the rabid pro-union nutterbutters.

Under the law, racketeering activity means:
* Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
I presume murder includes detailed murder threats.

It's time for WI to send out its state police (be they State Troopers, or something more akin to the Texas Rangers) and have as many of these people arrested and tried for making terroristic threats as they possibly can.
This is why I also think it's bad policy for us to make even joking death threats against political opponents. When they're over-the-top enough (as we mostly do here) it's easy enough to say "hyperbole, no biggie," but I remember Ace dropping the ban-hammer on someone way back in 08 or 09 for making an actual death threat against somebody (Obama, maybe? Can't remember all the specifics of the incident). This is how it should always be: we won't tolerate it from each other, and we shouldn't tolerate it from them, either.

The state will no longer be collecting the Union dues via payroll, which means the union will have to bill the members. Then after a year of these bills, the members have to re certify the union. So I get bills each month for a year and then I get to chose if I want to keep getting those bills?
No brain-er, the unions will die, and they know it.
THIS is what this is all about!

The ones who have school-aged children probably send them to private school anyway. And, let me assure you, parents who home-school or who send their kids to private school have virtually no use for Teachers Unions.
Posted by: AllenG (Dedicated Tenther) at March 10, 2011 08:33 AM (8y9MW)
This is why cops shouldn't be unionized. Neither should firemen or teachers.
The cops have chosen a side in this fight when they are supposed to be neutral providers of law and order.
When the police become partisan society breaks down. This is extremely bad.
Give them lots of civil servant protections, but don't make them a government union and an arm of a single party, the Dems.

That a Dem legislator would endanger his GOP "colleagues" by leading the mob to them demonstrates that we've beyond politics. And this isn't just Wisconsin.

Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable."

And they are so corrupting that you end up seeing cops working as thugs for the Dems. I am sure those cops didn't intend to behave in such a despicable manner when they joined the force. I'm sure they wanted to protect the innocent and enforce the law. But the corrupt, incestuous reality of government unions and the Left twisted them and that's how we see the disgusting behavior today of police not providing protection to their political enemies.

Whoever tipped off the mob to the whereabouts of the republican senators should be 1) publicly identified, and 2) fired.
If it was a cop, pointing out where the mob could find victims to attack, then the punishment should be worse, there should be some kind of charges filed against the cop. Contributing to a riot, or a lawless environment, should qualify as something that could be punished.

Demonstrators were carried out of the Assembly by police Thursday as a new standoff shaped up at the Capitol as Gov. Scott WalkerÂ’s administration has again closed the building to the public.
As protesters said they were willing to risk arrest to block an Assembly vote on WalkerÂ’s bill on union bargaining, police began escorting or dragging some of them out. There is still a sizable group inside, however.
“Shame! Shame! Shame!” demonstrators shouting.
Taylor Tengwall, 21, of Duluth, Minn., said, “They grabbed me by the shoulders and took me out.”

Barbarian, how about a backpack full of tear gas. That is what the Democrats in Madison are courting. Though, with their shown brainpower, such things have never bridged the gap between their two synapses. All they are thinking of 'must beat evil rethuglicans, ugh!'

Same cold-water bath that Obama got when he started reading the Daily Brief. As we all know, the mayor of L.A. and our Cali governor are also talking about this. Fine. Democrats are the only ones who can do it. Like Chris Rock is the only one who could do a routine on "N*****s vs. Colored People."

S&W is better for responding to surprise attacks. Weapon presentation is much quicker, you don't have to worry about jacking a round, cocking the hammer, or clearing safe. Just use the handy double action point and click interface.
If you are planning for a prolonged gun fight. Semi-auto's in particular the 1911 are great. If you are planning to respond to a surprise attack, the double action revolver is the way to go.

Hindenburg despised Hitler pesonally and would not have had to deal with him at all except for the fact that the Nazis became the largest party in the Reichstag in 1932. (Even Nazi delegates still only had about a third of the total popular vote.) So yes, an election did effectively bring Hitler to power. Just indirectly.

There are several good Double action Semi-autos available also. So you get the safety on the first pull and the speed on all the rest.

Posted by: Ted Kennedy's Gristle Encased Head at March 10, 2011 09:29 AM (+lsX1)
Actually they didn't. Their was no majority, President Hindenburg made the decision to appoint Hitler Chancellor; Followed by the Reichstag fire, and, brutal suppression of other parties. Then an "election" which still didn't put the NAZI party in the majority. All of which was empowered by Hitler's APPOINTMENT as Chancellor.
History! Give it a shot!
--------------------------------------------
It was the performance of the national socialists at the ballot box that led Hindenburg to appoint Hitler chancellor. Hindenburg was dead set against making Hitler chancellor but felt compelled to do it because the national socialists had enough popular support to form a government.
History! Yeah. I've read some!

And Hitler nationalized all the unions, used the context of...wait for it...increasingly violent union labor protests and a the demand for higher wages in a troubled economy...to do this, as a way of social justice too, everyone could be a part of the national union...except certain people -- the union leaders and toadies? Yeah, they seem to have retired or something, because a lot of them were never heard from again.
Lefties are dumb as hell for not knowing their history properly...and are probably doomed to repeat it...we get to go along for the ride.
Now, there is nothing wrong with unions if the basic principles are kept: protect the workers from administration/corporate (let's be real: a lot of companies do not give a shit about workers, and if teachers were striking for more discipline enforced in the classroom in order that their working conditions were better a lot of people probably would agree with them). But they have become part of the problem -- because they don't represent the workers anymore...it's all about the union (lefties can't seem to comprehend that -- well, the little people lefties don't; I'm sure Bill Ayers and Co. understand it perfectly and approve).

You know what I want? Retribution. I don't want to just restore things to how they should be, I want to punish the people who put us in this spot.
And by punish, I mean politically. I want the GOP to use the power of their offices and legislation to actively fuck over the left.
That's what they've been doing to us for my entire lifetime, and I want payback. Fuck fair. Fuck the rules. I don't give a shit anymore. This is practically a civil war. I don't even consider these motherfuckers to be my countrymen anymore. They are my enemy.

One of the things that makes my fucking head explode when listening to people like the current CT governor speak is that when they say we all need to suffer equally to make up for the out-of-control spending and deficits of the past.
Fuck that shit. I was a recipient of any of this out-of-control spending. Why do those who did benefit only have to suffer as much as I do for it? I want those bastards to be hit and hit hard.
Stop funding public employees' pension plans to the tune of 100%. Get rid of all overtime completely. Reduce the public workforce. Make those who are still employed pay at least a part of their health insurance plans, like I do.
Stop giving away more and more to welfare recipients, while taking more and more out of my pocket.
Fuck this "equal suffering" crap.

This is the hopenchange they were prayin' for. Yet it is the Tea Party folks, peacefully protesting in the Mall, who worry Napalitano and Rep. Bennie (crack-head) Thompson.

I arrived at the conclusion that the left was my enemy a long time ago. They just happen to be citizens of the same country as I. Other than that, we have nothing in common.
You can't reason with your enemy. You can only war with them until they surrender.

@81: "Good thing our party is full of bitter clingers and gun owners. Especially the latter."
Why? The Left knows, for an absolute certainty, that "our party" will never, ever, ever use guns. Maybe as individuals defending their own homes (where they are easily overwhelmed), but never en masse.

@136: "They are beasts and we're not. They are the honey badger. We're not."
Not necessarily. If things go violent and the usual leaders on the Right remain as pussified as always, new folks will step up - out of sheer survival instinct, if nothing else.
