Ah yes this guy thinks that because Walker won democracy is over for the US of A. He sounds like he may be one of those who talked about killing Walker in those gently tweets the other night.
Beck here compares this guy's performance to the man who got to announce the crash and destruction of the Hindenburg. Both talked about the inhumanity of it all. If you can't stand Beck get out of this one now.
Last I heard, democracy was based on things like : the majority rules, isn't that what people were saying when they supported Walker. I do not see the end of Democracy just because someone doesn't get his/her way.
If you don't think that racism plays a part then you are naive. Just look at the way some post here about Michele. It's disgusting.
I always thought that about how some people talked about Condeleeza Rice but they couldn't see anything racist in calling her a Aunt Jemima. How is there a difference?
Now the unions are accountable to the voters - the horror.
Now teachers have to choose to pay the Union its dues, the Union can't automatically deduct the money - pure evil.
Now teachers get to vote if they will have a union or not and what that union will be - how fascist.
Now the union owned health insurance company can't use its monopoly to overcharge the schools/government/tax payers, all companies can compete for the business - Walker is a total dictator.
Now unions must hold private votes and not public votes for certification - how corporatist.
Now teachers have to help pay for health and retirement benefits while still receiving 80K for 10 months of work in total compensation per average full time teacher - the end of the middle class.
This certainly is the end for democracy in Wisconsin.
The more I think about this, the more I realize the part in bold is one of the main reasons the union when nuts in WI.
Yes they have but not to the extent where they have trashed Michele. I thought Laura was an outstanding first lady. But the fact is we still have racists in our country and they would never vote for a black man no matter what. I'm sorry but I see it here
There were also those who only voted for Obama because he was black. Neither of these position represents the country.
We certainly agree about this one but most lefties just can't see what you just said. Maybe some of them will be able to see through it soon enough.
You obviously don't know or don't care what a progressive is. Walker's victory was bought by 3 billionaires and a corporate media which blankets every corner of our country, taking advantage of Fox simpletons. Democracy for sale and you "patriotic" righties are okay with it.
Citizens United, darling of the right, allows foreign money into our elections and you "patriots" are against even disclosure legislation proposed by progressives. Yeah, real patriotic! Some of us know a plutocratic con job when we hear one - too bad Wisconsin voters don't.
Walker is just a part of this entire movement to install a corporate government. Is he a dupe? Possibly. So who are the real Americans here - certainly not the people who support a corporate govt.
Walker is just as un-American as the Repub party and the people who voted for him. He is a conservative con man who says to the electorate that teachers and janitors crashed the economy and must pay the price, not the billionaire Wall Street Republican base who actually did the deed.
Not a single one of you yahoos bothered to actually watch the video. The guy wasn't talking about it being the end democracy just because Walker won--he was talking about the citizens united ruling and the ability of very wealthy individuals and companies to spend unlimited amounts of money secretly on elections. From all the blabbering I've heard over the years from BOTH SIDES either about George Soros or corporations and campaign spending, you'd think both sides would be outraged over it, but as long as your team is able to outspend the other by astronomical levels it's all just fine.
I hate hypocrites.
A hypocrite is one who will say that the big money didn't influence their vote but they darn well know it did others.
I have never once had anyone answer to the affirmative when I ask if the money Goldman Sachs spent in any way influenced your vote. All will say no but they believe that others simply could not see through the ads because they aren't as smart.
Roughly 45% will vote for either party whether or not $0 is spent or a billion is spent. The 10% who make up the rest do pay attention.

Or Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom.
