Not surprising the teabaggers are kicking their intimidation, violence, complete disregard of the constitution and electoral process, and other thug tactics into high gear in wisconsin during the Walker recall efforts.
These incidents have all happened in just the past few weeks, who knows how bad their thuggery will get once election time comes around

"Western Wisconsin volunteers collecting signatures for the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker have allegedly again been met by aggressive opponents.
On Monday, a group of volunteers in Hudson said they were approached by a man who knocked over and tore their signs before urging a member of the group to "take a swing" at him, according to a police report."

And even more,

"In the Dec. 21 criminal complaint, Dennis L. Torkelson, 53, River Falls was charged with attempt to falsify information and criminal damage to property
,..Two volunteers said a man came up, looked at the petition forms, grabbed a pen, paused, and jabbed at the petitions with signatures, ripping them."

"On Dec. 18, a 32-year-old woman was arrested in River Falls for allegedly spitting on a woman who was collecting signatures for the Walker recall"

"On Dec. 17, Pierce County authorities were called after a man began shouting at recall signature collectors in Elmwood, but the man left before officers arrived"

"Also on Dec. 17, two men, ages 55 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct for allegedly spitting on people gathering recall signatures in the village of Arena, about 30 miles west of Madison"

Wow, now you resort to libel to make a case against the Tea Party. I didn't see anything in those articles that mentioned the Tea Party. The only mention is on your lying post. Pathetic. You people have nothing so you resort to flat out libel. Shows how low you people will sink in your desperation.

Sure wingnuts, let's pretend acts like this are acceptable. You might not like the petition drive, the people behind it or union workers in general, but that doesn't give you the right to interfere with the rights of others.

Shame on you for trying to justify the actions of these thugs.
