Real Classy Libs. Protest At the Home of Scott Walker's Elderly Parent's House
No truer statement of leftist desire than the above: Gimme Gimme Gimmee!
Quote: Rallying against Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed state budget, more than 100 protesters gathered outside of his Wauwatosa home from about 5:10 to 5:25 p.m. Monday.
Repeating many of the chants heard at the State Capitol when Walker instituted Act 10 in 2011, the winding line of protesters called out, “Hey hey, ho ho, Scott Walker’s got to go,” “The students united will never be defeated,” and “Students are not for sale,” as they circled outside Walker’s home on 68th Street.
The protesters started at Juneau Park Play Field, 6500 W. Mount Vernon Ave., at 4:30 p.m. As they walked toward 68th Street, Wauwatosa and Milwaukee police blocked off westbound Bluemound Road. At Walker’s house, police blocked northbound 68th Street while Wisconsin State Patrol officers were stationed in the driveway.
Shouting through a megaphone, Wisconsin Jobs Now Director Jennifer Epps-Addison said although some might call it “invasive” to go to the governor’s home, she said Walker’s proposed cuts were invading their own homes.
“He brought budget cuts to all our houses, and today we brought it to his,” Epps-Addison said.
Walker’s son, Alex Walker, tweeted that his grandparents were living in the house.

RE: Real Classy Libs. Protest At the Home of Scott Walker's Elderly Parent's House
Unions are largely made up of thugs.
I know a lady who moved down here from Michigan and the SEIU sent a goon right out of prison over to her house just to intimidate her back into paying dues. That, on top of constant calls, sitting outside the house, and more.
I have no respect for this sort of behviour, what ERC posted and from what I've seen. The death of the entrenched union can't come quick enough.
Hell, I'm not even anti-union per se. But, I am how unions today operate.

For Republicans, politics is a sideshow. It's something to pay attention to once every two or four years. Real life (families, careers, hobbies) takes precedence over anything connected to politics.
For Democrats, politics is primary. It's life-and-death. It's their raison d'être. So nothing is out of bounds for them, like showing up at a politician's parents' home. The end justifies the means.

Do you ever notice how the left starts in the gutter and then sinks lower? If these were tea partiers the left would go into comas.

I wonder how these people would feel if they knew they were being controlled by the Bush machine?

Totally classless act by the protesters. Time and place for everything and that was definitely NOT the place.

Don't you believe in the first amendment freedom of assembly?

Of course I do, that's why I said it wasn't the place. Never said they had no right to assemble. I guess I just expect people to have a little bit of decency and respect. Those protesters had neither.

I belong to a large Union and many of Us even openly challenge our leadership on political issues. Trust Me, more than 50% of the membership disagree with the Current Democrat Liberals. But maybe it's because Kentucky is no longer a Democrat stronghold. Same results with other friends that work in some of the other major Manufacturing plants here. Seems only the undereducated one are the believers.

If companies knew how to treat their employees in the first place, there would have never been any need for the invention of Unions.

Sounds more like titbags that invented unions. If a job mistreats me, I go elsewhere.
