2. Wisconsin’s public employees unions have shown themselves to be scum.

3. This public service announcement brought to you by the employees of the state of Wisconsin who, just in case you didn’t get it the first time, would like to take another opportunity to remind you we’re a bunch of greedy self-absorbed a##holes.

4. fwiw, Special Olympics is one of the few things in this crummy world that can put a smile on ANYONE’s face, and remind us that humankind is not a complete writeoff.

   So, please excuse me if I’m a bit put off by this hijacking of an event, where some very special people who need a little extra attention are now thoughtlessly shunted aside just like every other day in the rest of their lives. I’m putting this in my hip pocket and will remember this, just like a lot of other people will.

5. I worked directly with Special Olympians-nearly all they love our country, they all appreciate opportunities given to them, they are hard workers and some of the most productive members of their communities…exactly what these union thugs are not…these protesters couldn’t be any more classless if they tried. Anyone else see the irony of them being ‘zombies’….doing mindlessly what the union bosses tell them to do???

7. Another example of why when misery visits the liberal it only serves for good and just outcomes.

8. I think we are pretty clear on what the left represents, so this no surprise.

   I do admire the people who volunteer for Special Olympics, though. No matter their politics, they give a lot for people we can admire and respect despite the challenges the they face.

10. Honestly I find the fact tht he was addressing this group offensive. It’s like when he goes and visits a school. What a hypocritical liar.

    Althouse quotes a Walker basher defending this protest.

    So it’s offensive for the governor to care about schools and other causes because he’s conservative.

    The completely mild idea that teachers are not really working in sweatshops, and don’t really need unions, and that public unions face easy negotiations (playing with house money) that cause fiscal problems, is equal to opposing the entire concept of public education, or the entire concept of caring about people like those in the Special Olympics?

    I guess these people really believe Walker is like Hitler, so what should I expect? If you care about education, you must accept even the most egregious democrat demands. No matter that this has produced a crappy education for the student. Or a debt bomb that student will grow up to live with. Because of dumb greed.

11. You know what bugs me? No?

    I will tell you anyway.

    The left has tried, rather successfully, to corner the market on compassion. Yet, there are plenty of people on the right and in the middle and on the left who are simply good.

    They work hard and contribute. Sometimes we forget that.

    Doing good work is not the purvey of a political affiliation.

    But, you always have jerks that think being a jerk is somehow equivalent to being smart and good and kind.

    It apparently is a pathway to success for some, but it is still irritating.

12. so here are… well… a bunch of weiners

    Whiners would be more like it.

    As I once said of a lady with whom I work: She whines so much she ought to be a French vineyard.

14. I don’t understand the outrage. There was a Special Olympics event. A bunch of special-needs children showed up.

    Isn’t that what’s supposed to happen?

16. “A bunch of special-needs interest children showed up.”

    If you like. I prefer the oblique insinuation that the protesters showed up at an occasion that well and truly befits their faculties, but whatever works.

18. I have a nepher with special needs. Years ago, he was at a S.O. event at Ft. Carson. It was extraordinarily well done.
    He froze at the start of a race, so a couple of Soldiers took his hands and hustled him down the track.
    Different species, apparently.
    Soldiers…human.
    These people…no idea at all.

21. Real classy Wisconsin libs. That’s sure to endear people to your cause. Maybe next week you can punch a small child in the face and call it a metaphor for how you feel about Walker.
