Republicans Think Workers Are Pigs
By karoli


Failed GOP Senatorial candidate and self-proclaimed strategist (with a book out about how to win campaigns, even) spilled the beans about what Republicans think of Wisconsin workers, farmers, and citizens exercising their first amendment rights.

Yesterday afternoon on Fox News, Townsend and Kirsten Powers were asked to comment on the huge protests taking place in Madison, Wisconsin, and whether or not Governor Scott Walker had "won". I love his out-of-the-gate reaction, because he reveals in hard, straight language exactly what Republicans think of working people.

TOWNSEND: I take away this. Number one, elections have consequences. Number two, unions will never have any trouble renting a riot, and number three, when you gore that pig and wound it, it can make a lot of noise, and that's the message I would take out of this.

But look, the bottom line here is employees in Wisconsin still have the right to collectively bargain. It doesn't take away their right to belong to a union. That's what's been lost in all this propaganda.

1. That's why we can't let them do the thinking........

...they just aren't any good at it. Thinking takes intelligence, and as we all know, republicans lack in that resource. They have a tendency to think with a TV remote rather than their fucking brains. FOX says it, so it must be true. And, since we know without a doubt that FOX news lies more than it tells the truth........you get the point.

2. Yes, Mr. Townsend, you pompus twit, when you gore just about any animal, they make noise

Pigs, dogs, cats... pick your mammal.

3. Republicans screech the loudest of any primate when barely pricked...

It's a fact! Just listen to Rush Limbaugh any time anyone says something unkind about him.

10. Yeah, and that's not even a 'goring'

I'm sure Rush would be screaming like a baby if he were actually gored. Hmmmm... if only he were to go to Pamplona to run with the bulls. :evilgrin:

4. As the saying goes..."Them's fightin' words!"

I hope all those in Wisconsin and beyond see that comment. He just poked the pig and we/they won't let him forget it nor the rest of the Repugs for what they've done/are doing.

I've never seen anything like what is happening today in this country. Where will it end?

5. Republicans definitely do not embrace Christian values.

6. I'd like to know why he thinks "goring" the American worker is a good thing.

And how he can possibly consider himself anything but anti-American, espousing such a view.

11. No kidding - discussing how workers react when you gore them. Sick

:puke:

7. Sometimes the hunted will turn on the hunter

In this instance, the hunted are a stampede, and to make matters worse for the hunter, he just shot himself in the foot!

8. Why do Republicon HATE working Americans?

...Because they get their marching orders from billionaire a-holes

9. for a bunch of wimps, they sure talk big shit, don't they?

So, you see the working class as a bunch of helpless pigs, huh? Well, wait till we gore you.
