Do they understand the anger they are causing?
Do they have any idea how much they are inflaming the American people?

They are playing a dangerous game here. They are pushing people into a corner.

Are they really not able to see that? Are they that insulated? Are they that stupid?

I wonder if that is not their plan? Get rid of many of us and
finish off our rights in the process? I hope this wakes up their teabagger followers.

7. What kills me is that they KNEW they were losing...
Edited on Wed Mar-09-11 10:11 PM by CoffeeCat
...this battle. They knew that public opinion was not on their side--in Wisconsin and on the
national level. As hard as the right-wing radio liars tried to demonize the unions--the people
were on the side of the unions and they did not want this legislation passed.

These bastards don't give a damn about the people. They are beholden to the Koch Brothers and
other assorted capitalistic psychopaths from hell.

We are NOTHING to them. Absolutely nothing.

So, what are we going to do about it?

I say that anyone that can get to Madison, should get there!

26. well that and they want us at each other not at them
divide and conquer. The last election shows they have a very loyal crowd that is willing to easily be lead to battle against their own class. Of course they know what they are doing. Attacking the poor and the even poorer in ways that motivate some to attack and support attacking their own. It has worked for them in the past... will enough Americans wake up and see they aren't winning anything here. IDK. Walkers approval rating seem to state yes a lot of Americans have woken up. But seriously the Republican party after 2+ months of taking over should be around 20 % popularity and totally despised. So I'm not hopeful.

9. Their corporate puppet masters had better wake up as well.
The protests have only just begun. The Koch name will be synonymous with shit.

13. 'Twas ever thus.
The aristocracy of France, or of Russia, believed that the hurt was always going to be on the peasants. They never imagined that they themselves would be touched.

11. No, they are that confident that hackable voting machines and the MSM,
i.e. the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, will make sure that they don't suffer too badly at the ballot box.

12. a couple of days ago, someone asked for 2 word responses
to the republican union busters. There were plenty of appropriate responses like "bite me", but all I could think of was "we're armed".

And I am the most peaceful, anti-war, conciliatory person you would ever meet. I didn't post my thoughts.

16. Maybe the more outrage they see, the more superior they feel
ummmm, "let the little people become more little and eat walmart cake"

I feel like I've suddenly been thrown into a new world order of corporate totalitarianism, all at once.

Soon, 8 dollars an hour will be portrayed as some kind of luxurious outrage.

Or maybe they're getting to a point where it just won't matter at all what the people think or we are already there, actually we are already there.

21. They may have wanted to spark a violent response
I think it has been hugely frustrating to them that actions have been a sustained, peaceful protest. This has shown that the opposition are the rational, hard working people who form the foundation of the state.

They've even held that line with Fox reporters trying their hardest to provoke them by instead facing off with signs and words that prove their point and not giving Fox even one minute of the "violent union thug" meme to show on video (so much that Fox resorted to using video from another state and got busted and schooled on that).
I noticed in looking at Google news that Fox is already trying to sell the meme with a new "Rabid Leftists Storm Capitol After Vote" headline.

A continued sustained peaceful protest with even more numbers is the one thing they have no clue how to effectively counter.

27. One thing is for sure
This is going to get even more intense.

They have hearts of coal (or Koch) and the serious efforts at recall combined with the determination of people in coming back at them in numerous peaceful waves and persuading more to the people's position each day has scared them. They didn't expect it and they don't know how to stop it.

24. That is how the neocons like change. When it causes great distress. Remember how
Edited on Wed Mar-09-11 10:45 PM by applegrove
the Bush White House thought telling the Katrina victims in NOLA they were 'warned to leave so they were on their own would' would fly in the USA? Didn't work in that case. They love social engineering that involves pain because not quite a few of those neocons are sadistic. This Walker yahoo wants to be called the new Ronald Reagan that is for sure. Someone suggested yesterday he likely is doing all this so he can run for President in 2012 and I concur.

25. I think this is the reason that Blackwater was allowed and encouraged
to flourish.

Lotsa private security jobs available pretty soon............

I have a stash of tinfoil and am not afraid to use it.

28. They don't care.
They no longer have the moral capacity to care. Win at all costs is all they can understand. Win for Rush, Sean, whatever master they're worshiping. That's all they're capable of. Check out their hate mongering web sites; listen to their hate filled talk shows. Just for a minute or two - won't take you long to see they have all been given the same talking points. Unable to think for themselves.

He will freaking regret it. If he lights the match, things will never be the same in this country..again.

33. Another thing, they don't seem to care if they have the white house or not
majority or the minority. They want what they want and don't care how many people they have to stab in the back to get it.
