Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Friday he didn't recall the specifics of a January 2011 video in which he said he would employ a "divide and conquer" strategy against public employee unions.

"A year and a half ago, I don't remember all of the particulars. We talked about the fact that someone needed to stand up and stand on behalf of the taxpayers," he said Friday when asked about the quote at a campaign stop, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

He also said he had no interest in pursuing right-to-work legislation.

Asked whether the "divide and conquer" quote referred to separating police and firefighter unions from other public employees, Walker repeated that he didn't remember the particulars. (The successful legislation curtailing bargaining rights of most public employees did exempt police and firefighter unions.)

1. Scotty, we don't care what you say anymore. Just go.

7. As we used to say: Aww... Don't go away MAD... Just GO AWAY!

[RT_Fanatic]

2. Fer heavens sake...

Just play him the video...that should jog his faulty memory.

[Bolo Boffin]

9. People who get busted have this common failing of not understanding how videotape works. n/t

[snacker]

3. Using the Romney "I don't remember" meme, I see...

what an ass!

[polmaven]

4. Yeah....really!

why do they all have such lousy memories, do ya 'spose?????

[freshwest]

8. It's either 'I was just joking' or 'I don't recall.' They always run away, always.

[Iliyah]

5. The insane party of no

thru their religion is taught at an early age to lie, cheat, steal, bare false witness, disrepect women (gop women disrepect themselves) and so forth and multiply. If the non-believers get in their way, use any means necessary to destroy them because Gawd commands them to. Just listen to their religious leaders, Hucklebee, Perkins, Donahue, Roberts, et al.,

They truly believe that Gawd is on their side so its ok to do evil things, plus, money is the root of most evil.

6. "Right to Work" means bad pay and no benefits. USA = Walmart

[LadyHawkAZ]

10. Uhoh

I thought a diligent inoculation drive had gotten rid of the contagious strains of Reagan Questionitis. Now Walker AND Romney have both come down with it at the same time! Damn those anti-vaxers!

[CanonRay]

11. Seems to be a common trait in Republican candidates

[Tx4obama]

12. There was an article out not long ago about how GOPers' brains are different than Dems' brains ...

I'll have to go back and try to find it and see if they talked in the article about MEMORY.

Seems like a whole bunch of Republicans are having memory problems lately.

[Faux pas]

13. All these tools who 'don't' remember

shouldn't be allowed to hold any type of office.

[Auntie Bush]

14. Walker and Romney sure have bad memories when it comes to something their ahamed or scared of.

IDOTS!!!

[charmay]

15. This video has certainly weakened his "stand up for taxpayer" mantra.

Maybe he can run on being the best liar.

[whathehell]

16. The video is an absolute GIFT to the Recall Campaign!

I wish Ed were on tonite - As Tweety said, he'll be "levitating"!

[polichick]

17. Another Republican coward, what a surprise!

[salin]

18. Duh - you are on tape, and then your actions follow the strategy stated...

and anyone is expected to believe that it wasn't a strategy. Your lies are catching up to you.

[benld74]

19. I cant hear YOU! lalalalalalalalalalalalalala

[Skip Intro]

20. He's pulling an "I don't recall" to something on tape? What a moron.

[wordpix]

21. hey Scotty even I remember and I don't live in WI - geesh

[RockyMtnGuy]

22. I forget... ?

Did Walker and Rmoney attend the same class in denial training? "I forget" is ridiculous. Why can't these cowards just man-up for their action?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Man up?

That's sexist.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Sure Walker

and I got a bridge you might want to buy.

[Blue Owl]

25. What self-respecting person would take these tools seriously?

I mean, really...

[Odin2005]

26. Seems like a new trend: Republican Amnesia.

[Galraedia]

27. The Mickey Mouse Party...

[Bozita]

28. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you to find Scott Walker engaging in divide and conquer tactics!

[caraher]

29. The "I don't recall" non-denial denial?

I'm sure he doesn't remember "all the particulars" just as I'm dead certain he does remember the gist of the conversation and outlining his master plan to attack unions in general. Look bozo, nobody cares whether you have an eidetic memory, but we do care - and you can't deny - that you're attacking working families and unions.

[They_Live]

30. Hmmm. I'll bet that he remembers the $510,000

that the evil scarecrow lady gave to him after he nullified collective bargaining rights.

[hue]

31. Selective amnesia-->another Repuke personality trait! n/t
