Occupy Chicago protesters interrupt Wisconsin governor's speech here
Source: Chicago Tribune (vid)

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's breakfast speech at the Union League Club was interrupted briefly by Occupy Chicago protesters backed by unions opposed to the GOP governor's actions to curb collective bargaining rights for public employees.

Only minutes into his talk, about 50 protesters began chanting at Walker, including "Union busting, it's disgusting" and "We are the 99." The protesters left after about 10 minutes.

8. The article lies.
It refers to this summer's "unsuccessful recall effort" in Wisconsin.

Yes, the repubs still have the majority, by one vote. But the recall was successful and historic. Fucking Trib.

The Union League Club is a very exclusive place. It figures that Scottie would be the speaker at this event.
