Never heard of it either, but I will seek out the movie now.

Evidently, some folks didn't get the MEMO that Rachel was completely DEBUNKED on this:

Even the liberal Politifact called her claim FALSE on their False-o-Meter.

Rachel Maddow Reveals the Hidden Truth Behind the Wisconsin Protests

So obviously true and thank you Rachel for expalining it so eloquently. Maybe the problem is that naysayers are not used to eloquence...after all, their ears are tuned to "Palin Speak". Quite a difference in wavelength, level of sophistication and intelligence.
A Freudian slip?

Once Again Rachel Maddow‘s Claims Ruled ’False’ | The Blaze
Beck to Start “The Blaze” Website to Counter GlennBeckReport.com

So here comes Glenn with his own “news” website. Guess who’s going to do the “news” for him? Why, it’s Scott Baker, formerly of Breitbart TV! Why not? They sure are known for their journalistic integrity. Breitbart never met a lie he couldn’t amplify and repeat, so I’m sure Baker will fit in just fine with the Beck machine. The photo to the left is Beck and Baker from 10/9/09 discussing a wild and totally made up conspiracy theory involving Wade Rathke, Deepak Bhargava, and Barack Obama. Ohmigod, they gush, Deepak Bhargava and Obama were at Harvard at the SAME TIME! It’s another plot to overthrow the government and turn us into Kenya!

You're joking...right?

Maddow= Intelligence and Integrity

Beck = Insanity

Maddow, like most leftist newsies, is a liar, which is to be expected.

My family is a mix of Democrats and R's, but they're all teachers and union members. Unions often tend to endorse democrats because the democrat's policy proposals are more strongly oriented to issues facing working and middle class Americans, but it's hardly a given. I can give you a concrete example--In 1994 when we were living in the Ozarks, the public workers union there got behind Sarah Steelman, a very moderate R, to defeat long term state Senator Mike Lybyer (D). It happens more often than you think.

You don't need Rachel to prove to anyone why the Dems are doing what they are doing, you don't need magazines, or the News to tell ya exactly why the Dems are doing what they are doing. In a way they are acting as spoiled brats. Don't like Rachel, her news, her methods, her personality.
