Update: Here is the original artwork as put out by WisDems:
The Hate Left has clearly earned its moniker.
The Urinal Times weighs in. Check out the comments page. They supply this graphic of the two DUMBper stickers:
Update: I have received word that the graphic that appears here is NOT the original one intended by WisDems, that this is a result of major outrage by Republicans. The original, I am told, has the train smashing into Gov. Walker’s head with a blood spurt emerging. I am trying to obtain the original and if I am able to get it, I will post it here.
It’s not enough that the Democrats in Wisconsin were kicked to the curb in November.
It’s clear that they still don’t have a clue as to what hit them and why.
Look at this:
Some background:
One of Scott Walker’s main issues in winning the governor’s race was his intent to cancel the half-fast, car-speed train projected to run between Milwaukee and Madison. The federal government was to provide the initial $810 million to construct the choo-choo, but the operating cost would have to be picked up by state taxpayers, already facing a $200 million budget deficit, thanks to a lousy economy and fiscal mismanagement by outgoing Gov. Jim Doyle and the recently defeated legislative Democrats.
Walker correctly realized that the state couldn’t afford this “gift” from the Obama Regime and announced plans to kill the train, whose average speed would have been about 55 mph, lower than the speed of the average car going between Milwaukee and Madison, plus the car actually takes you where you want to go. He also recognized there was neither the need nor the demand for the choo-choo, which, like all rail mass transit projects, low-balls cost and overestimates ridership.
Naturally, the choo-choo zealots went apoplectic. There was mass protests (attended by 20 or so people), grassroots astroturf campaigns to pressure Walker into changing his mind. All for naught, as the choo-choo went bye-bye.
Now, the Democrats under the leadership (and I use that word loosely) of Mike Tate have retaliated with the bumper DUMBper sticker shown above.
Look at the graphic. The train has been described by its backers as a bullet train. What does the graphic display but a train depicted as a bullet going through Scott Walker’s head, complete with red (blood).
Imagine the outrage from the Left if our side had come up with this and had Our Lord and Savior Barack Hussein Obama’s head where Walker’s is. Anyone connected with it would receive a visit from the Secret Service because of the implication of violence.
These are the same Democrats who managed sufficient outrage during the campaign to get Walker’s communications director named the Worst Person in the World by The Olbertard simply for re-tweeting a video of a bunch of people singing about a train to make fun of the choo-choo supporters, claiming it was somehow — 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 — Raaaaacist!
Shame on Mike Tate and the Wisconsin Democrats for their temper tantrum and apparent death wish for Scott Walker.
The next four years with a bunch of grown-ups with the mentality of a child in the “Terrible Twos” is going to be a hell of a ride.

The theme of the article in the American Spectator by Angelo Codevilla about the Ruling Class keeps recurring in my mind. Leftists think they are brilliant and are entitled to rule over us and force this crap on us non-stop. Good for Governor-to-be Walker!
