are predicting dire consequences.

to their advantage.

7. Just because Walker has been exposed for planning to use agents provocateur...

... doesn't mean he won't still use them.

In fact, he has a greater incentive to do so now that many people believe he won't.

Be suspicious about the source of any alleged violence. Be very suspicious.

6. if millions of Egyptians can protest for three weeks and overturn their gov't without much violence

then a bunch of civil servants and teachers in Wisconsin can do their protests without violence as well.

heck they were peaceful in the unpleasant conditions of the capitol building.

have a little faith, they've certainly earned our respect.

8. Chill out. There is no violence. There will be no violence.

There has been no violence.

The cops are with the protestors. They pulled back to allow entry to the Capitol bldg. The Assembly Dems are staying in session to legitimize the presence of the protestors.

Give these crazed, ravening, thuggish cheeseheads a little credit, huh? There's just as much "central leadership" as there ever was in the past 3 weeks.
