Seditious Scott Walker --- Prime Dupe

REPRINTED FROM MEDIAITE.COM:


Yesterday, Ian Murphy, the editor of the website Buffalo Beast (which is down at the moment of this writing, presumably because of traffic) called up Scott Walker, the embattled governor of Wisconsin. However, Murphy identified himself as David Koch. Walker took the bait and engaged in a 20 minute conversation about the protests, the unions, the “Democrat bastards,” and the folks on Morning Joe. Walker’s staff has since confirmed that it is him on the phone.

In the conversation, “Koch” and Walker discuss the many ways to end the crisis. One section even includes what appears to be Walker’s plan to set a bit of a trap for the missing Wisconsin Democrats:
“An interesting idea that was brought up to me by my chief of staff, we won’t do it until tomorrow, is putting out an appeal to the Democratic leader. I would be willing to sit down and talk to him, the assembly Democrat leader, plus the other two Republican leaders—talk, not negotiate and listen to what they have to say if they will in turn—but I’ll only do it if all 14 of them will come back and sit down in the state assembly. They can recess it… the reason for that, we’re verifying it this afternoon, legally, we believe, once they’ve gone into session, they don’t physically have to be there. If they’re actually in session for that day, and they take a recess, the 19 Senate Republicans could then go into action and they’d have quorum because it’s turned out that way. So we’re double checking that. If you heard I was going to talk to them that’s the only reason why. We’d only do it if they came back to the capitol with all 14 of them. My sense is, hell. I’ll talk. If they want to yell at me for an hour, I’m used to that. I can deal with that. But I’m not negotiating.

Later “Koch” talks about “planting some troublemakers” but Walker shuts it down, while admitting they’ve “thought about it.”

Most interesting for us, perhaps, is Walker’s description his time on MSNBC:

“WALKER: Sooner or later the media stops finding it interesting.
“KOCH”: Well, not the liberal bastards on MSNBC.
WALKER: Oh yeah, but who watches that? I went on Morning Joe this morning. I like it because I just like being combative with those guys, but, uh. You know they’re off the deep end.
“KOCH”: Joe’s a good guy. He’s one of us.
WALKER: Yeah, he’s all right. He was fair to me and then the rest of them are out there. Although, I had fun. They had Schumer over from New York on ripping me and then they had this little clip of a state Senator hiding out and ripping me and it was almost too easy.
“KOCH”: Beautiful. Beautiful. You gotta love that Mika Brzezinski.
Walker: Oh yeah.
“KOCH”: She’s a real piece of ass.”

This is the statement released by Walker’s spokesperson:

“The Governor takes many calls everyday. Throughout this call the Governor maintained his appreciation for and commitment to civil discourse. He continued to say that the budget repair bill is about the budget. The phone call shows that the Governor says the same thing in private as he does in public and the lengths that others will go to disrupt the civil debate Wisconsin is having.”



A governor engaged in disruptive, bullying, seditious tactics does not appreciate nor is he committed to civil discourse.   I think we all need to understand that Scott Walker is a fascist and a mouthpiece of the rich.  For example, in this Senate Repair Bill is a clause that the State of Wisconsin can sell off state-owned power plants with no bids.  This is a sweetheart deal written into a bill for the benefit of people like David and Charles Koch.


We are on the brink of losing everything that was great about America very rapidly.  I wonder if the citizens of Germany felt the way I feel right now, when a terrible leader came into power and began his rants.  Because I feel that Scott Walker rants and raves, and there is absolutely NO intelligence, fairness or democracy behind the rants and raves, just the horrifying suspicion of a glimmer of insanity.  In fact, I seriously think Scott Walker needs to be subjected to a mental health examination.  Someone's deck is not quite full.

I strongly urge people to look into charges of sedition against Scott Walker, and all of his followers.  In the short time he has been in office, he has brought the State of Wisconsin to its knees, and not in worship of him.  He has alienated every thoughtful person in this state and he has lied (which is his only methodology) to everyone.  Scott Walker backers are people too unintelligent to do their own research and come up with their own conclusions on issues.  They take the word of Scott Walker as gospel.  Scott Walker is NOT God.....in fact, he seems to embody evil characteristics.   All of you "good Christians" out there better take a closer look at this devil.  I feel extraordinarily sorry for the large masses of  ignorant people in this state.  Scott Walker has given them plenty of rope, and they are willingly hanging themselves. 

And by the by, Mr. Walker's lazy eye matches his lazy brain.  Mr. Walker is starting to really increase my gag reflex with that stupid, simpering look.  You think the rich people in the country could have found someone more appealing and with a higher I.Q. to be their on-screen mouthpiece.  I guess I can take heart in the fact Walker was the best they could do. 

More importantly, what are the rational, sane people in Wisconsin going to do about Walker?   We absolutely need a plan to stop him; because without a plan to stop him, he'll just roll over every right we've ever had, while we stand by watching in disbelief and dismay.  Does this sound familiar and horrendous?  Mr. Walker does not represent the citizens of the State of Wisconsin.  He is a Tea Party Professional and a Puppet of the Rich and Powerful.  That Wisconsin citizens voted this guy into office is an absolute insult to all of the intelligent people in this State.

Citizen X

Scott Walker - and his counterpart - Sarah Palin

Before I expose a telephone conversation between Scott Walker and Sarah Palin recorded under the extended freedom of wiretaps law, I would like to say the following:

"Stop, STOP, STOP, Scott Walker, saying that you will stay the course and stand with Wisconsin taxpayers".  I am a Wisconsin taxpayer.  I don't want you to stand with me.  I never voted to strip our hardworking state employees of their collective bargaining rights.  Don't stand with me.  Don't stand near me; I do not want to be infected by your slime ball, slick oil, snake venom presence.  In other words, Mr. Walker, please stop saying that you are standing with me, because you are not.  You are standing up for the rich.  As if they need any backers.  Well, at least the rich have picked backers whom are idiots like you.  And truly, I'm sick of your g.d. hair falling on me.

RING RING

"Hello, Mommy????"

"No Scotty, it's Sarah calling from the land of the midnight sun".

"Sarah!  What a surprise.  What are you doing in Norway?"

"No, silly.  Alaska.  It's where I live."

"Oh.  Well, uh, how you doin, Sarah?  How's the family?"

"Growing by leaps and bounds.  Little Tripp likes to drink out of the dog dish, though.  He might have a little mange."

"No more unplanned pregnancies, I hope"?

"Oh, no no, everyone is fine and not pregnant.  Locked in their rooms.   I just wanted to tell you I'm proud of you and what you're doing to the working class folks there in Wisconsin.  It takes some kind of man to stand up to hideous union demands.  It's hard to be unpopular."

"Like you would know, Sarah, you're the most popular girl in America.  I am, steadfastly, staying the course."

"Well, Scott, good thing you have those platitudes.  They are what people will remember most.  I hope you have a platitudial tutor to help you.  You'll need to learn a whole lot more of them platitudes.  It's how to answer questions without saying anything".

"I know.  It's hard, though.  I have to always remember to say them in the right order, and at the same time, not to tip my head forward so my big bad empty skull doesn't glare too much.  So much to remember."

"Oh believe me, I know.  I spent a fortune on push-up bras, earrings and designer frames so I could distract the press."

"Well, I've got my hands full".

"Oh....should I call you back?"

"No, no, I'm not peeing.  I just meant all these dang union members walking around on the capitol lawn.  And all the democrats fled the state.  Everyone is trying to tarnish my stellar image. 

"Well, stay the course, as you said." 

"I will, I will.  Once I get these damn unions busted, I'm going to tackle some really big issues, like getting rid of poor people."

"Wowie Zowie, how will you do that?"

"Well, I brainstormed with some people, and I'm gonna fire all the state social workers.  If those dang poor people don't have social workers to help them, well, they'll all just starve to death, or freeze to death.  Either way, they'll die off and we can get back to being rich and successful and Poor Free."

"Holy Smoked Salmon, that's a wonderful idea, Scott!  Stupid social workers are just a bunch of socialists, anyhow.  We don't need them in our great United States.  What we need is income police.  If people can't meet the bar for appropriate income levels, they need to be chucked out of society, maybe sent to Mexico."

"I know.  Sarah?  Was it hard for you when you were nominated to McCain's ticket?  I mean, no one told me it was going to be so hard to be governor.  I always have a headache.   I have to read stuff all day long and I think I need new glasses.  And....my sons are getting harassed at school.....by teachers."

"Oh, go to Googly Eyes for glasses.  They have ones with smart eyeballs painted on the lenses so you'll look a whole lot more intelligent on camera.  As for your sons, well, they'll just have to stand up and take it.  It's hard to be the child of a trailblazer."

"Sarah, I got worse problems.  Big problems.  Big bad problems."

"Oh Oh.  What's up Scotty, boy?"

"Jack Black is going to play me on Saturday Night Alive".

"Hell's Bells, that's bad news.  Don't let the liberal Jews in Hollywood get you down, though.  Remember, Bristol came in second on Dancing on the Stars and she has two left feet and two right brains.  You just have to stay the course."

"I will.  Stay the course, stay the course, I might look stupid but I'll show no remorse".

"Oh, that's a goody goody gum drop saying.  I just love it to political death".

"Speaking of political death, what are you doing these days, Sarah old girl".

"Well, I'm collecting a lot of money by speaking to large groups of under-educated, self-righteous, ignorant folks, mostly in Arizona."

"Hmmm.  Maybe I can resign and get some speaking engagements.  I don't really like being a governor.  They gave me a mansion and all, but I can't keep these damned agitators off the lawn."

"Ooops, have to go Scotty.   The Avon lady is at the door, and I need a new spring shade of wing nut pink".

"Okay, Sarah, girl.  You have a good evening.  Thanks for calling.  It's hard to be so important while simultaneously being so stupid."

"Simon who"?

Liar Liar Pants on Fire, Nose as Long as a Scott Walker Fascist

I am so sick of seeing Scott Walker taking to the media and lying.  He sat bold faced and said that the police and firefighters unions were not part of his current program to gut employee unions bargaining rights because they are needed to quell the disturbances in Madison and to keep peace and safety. 
Bull$hit.  They are not part of his plan because they financially supported his campaign.

People adept at reading body language and faces will recognize the insipid look that crosses Walker's features every time he tells a lie; in other words, his usual face.  How does this guy live with himself?  Oh, there is no self, I forget, when you're a talking head of the rich.


Scott Fitzgerald stated repeatedly "this bill is not negotiable, this bill is not negotiable", referring to the Budget Repair Bill that is threatening so many workers' rights.  Scott Fitzgerald looks like Hitler, sounds like Hitler, and he probably smells like Hitler. In other words, suspiciously like pork.  Everywhere there's lots of piggies, leading piggy lives. 

Wisconsinites need to band together and rescue the state from these fascists. 

All the current ads attacking teachers and state workers for their presence in Madison instead of in the classroom and agencies are mounted by big money, really big money.  Let's go after big money.  Let's tax them at a fair rate.  Let's see how well they'd sit for that without mounting a huge campaign to stop it.  The people who mounted this anti-union campaign send their children to private school, their kids are missing nothing.  Our kids may not be in the classroom, but they are learning a valuable civics lesson on how fragile true democracy is.  They are also learning about the real threat of fascism, right in front of their television sets.  This may mean far more, education-wise, than dissecting a frog.

Big money, we will defeat you.  We will not allow your fascist behaviors to disrupt democracy.  We will not allow big money to take over American Democracy. So go out to dinner with your piggy wives, while there are still people willing to serve you.  Sooner or later, all of us will be a part of the revolution.

Stop the Fascists

Letter to State Senator Mary Lazich (R-Greendale)

I am deeply saddened by your support of the so called "Budget Repair Bill". We all understand the need to make cuts and we expect government workers to help out. That is not what this is all about. You know as well as I do that this is a way for Walker and his gang to destroy collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin.


Why are you part of this gang? It is wrong! wrong! wrong! The way it was done, with no real discussion and no compromise in one week? What is wrong with that? It is undemocratic and you know it. This issue was not part of Walker's campaign. If it had been I think he would not have been elected.

I grew up in Greendale and spent much of my adult life there. My children also went to school there, and my daughter continues to live there. I lived there when you were elected, and I have worked with you in the past on mental health issues. My father also lived there. Some years ago after he was deceased, you presented an award to my father, which I received on his behalf for his contributions to the community. I can tell you in all honesty that my father would never have accepted that award from you had he known of your refusal to support union collective bargaining rights. He was a strong supporter of union rights. Given what I know about you now, I am sorry accepted that award for him from you. I feel I have soiled his memory.
Please reconsider your stand. I am sure there can be some compromise. Show some leadership because Walker will not.

If you continue to support this bill as it stands, I can tell you I will work hard to recall you and/or unseat you as a senator.

What Budget Crisis?

There is no real budget crisis in the State of Wisconsin.

For Scott Walker to say that his deliberate attempts to destroy unions is what the people voted for is an outright lie.  Oh  there is a big surprise; Scott Walker is a liar.

I invite people with short memories to revisit the campaign Scott Walker mounted.  When did he ever claim that he would, in effect, gut state employee unions?  NEVER.  This is a campaign mounted by right wing nuts and the ultra-rich, the only people stupid enough to actually support Scott Walker.  This is a well-organized, nationalized campaign by the 2% of the people with REAL money who actually are running this country.  Scott Walker isn't smart enough to have this agenda on his own.

In fact, Scott Walker isn't smart enough to read a newspaper or take the pulse of the citizens he says he represents.  Scott Walker represents one class of people, and it's not the common man.  If the intelligent people in this state are truly smart, they will figure out how to make Mr. Walker's ignorance work for them.  Puppets can say anything we want them to say, after all.   And if the common man is smart, they will stand up to the bullying tactics of the ultra rich, whose only objective is to protect their own selfish interests, at any cost.

I think America is in real trouble here, and on the brink of revolution.  Maybe the ultra-rich should reconsider having most of the money as opposed to having all of the money.  Shouldn't that be good enough?   

Let's Impeach Scott Walker for Sedition

Since we have to wait a year to file for a recall election, let's impeach Scott Walker for sedition.

Face it, there won't be a Wisconsin in one year under Scott Walker's tutelage.

He has, indeed, incited a riot.  As Chief Executive of the State of Wisconsin, that behavior is seditious.

What We Need To Do To Recall Scott Walker - Unfortunately - Wait
