Update: RPW Occupiers Were Disabled Advocates

An update on the story we had here yesterday about protesters taking over the HQ of the Republican Party of Wisconsin demanding a meeting with Gov. Walker.

Turns out the occupiers, who were removed by Madison police, were disabled citizens and advocates for the disabled who were told by Democrat lawmakers that their assistance would be cut off if the budget repair bill becomes law.

In the video, there is a woman who said that she was told by Sen. Bob Jauch (Fleebagger-Poplar) that her chemotherapy would be terminated if the bill passes. In other words, if Gov. Walker’s proposed fix to the state budget were to become law, she’d die.

Watch the video (via the MacIver Institute):

Disgusting what the union thugs and their stooges are doing. Going so far as to lie to and manipulate the disabled into staging an occupation.

Breaking: Assembly Passes Budget Repair Bill

The State Assembly passed the budget repair bill by a 51-17 vote.

Republicans abruptly ended debate and quickly called the roll, passing the budget repair bill on a 51-17 vote.

UPDATE: The roll was run so quickly that not all legislators had the chance to push their button for a “yes” or “no” vote.

Four Republicans registered votes against the bill: Dean Kaufert, Lee Nerison, Richard Spanbauer and Travis Tranel.

The bill faces an uncertain future because of the AWOL 14, Senate Democrats who fled the state to avoid taking a vote on the budget repair bill.

Democrats are crying foul over the vote, even hinting at future legal action:

Assembly Democrats are calling the Republican move to end debate and force a vote a blatant violation, and some are saying they may take the case to court.

The vote happened so quickly that many members on each side didn’t have time to push the button and register their vote.

You can read the final roll call vote here. Racine Count split, with Robin Vos (R-63rd) voting for the measure, Robert Turner (D-61st) voting against it and Cory Mason (D-62nd) not voting.

More coverage here from Fox News:

MADISON, Wis. — Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights from most public workers, abruptly passing the measure early Friday morning before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening.

The vote ended three straight days of punishing debate in the Assembly. But the political standoff over the bill — and the monumental protests at the state Capitol against it — appear far from over.

The Assembly’s vote sent the bill on to the Senate, but minority Democrats in that house have fled to Illinois to prevent a vote. No one knows when they will return from hiding. Republicans who control the chamber sent state troopers out looking for them at their homes on Thursday, but they turned up nothing.

“I applaud the Democrats in the Assembly for earnestly debating this bill and urge their counterparts in the state Senate to return to work and do the same,” Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon, said in a statement issued moments after the vote.

Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey quotes Senate Fleebagger leader Mark Miller as saying about Gov. Walker:

He’s got to realize there’s more to leadership than just demanding your own way.

Then adds:

Er … like stamping one’s feet and fleeing the state, with the minority refusing to participate and do their jobs unless Walker makes changes to a bill that would easily pass the legislature?  That kind of “just demanding your own way” is exactly what the minority caucus has been doing for over a week.

Thugs Take Over RPW Offices

The MacIver Institute is reporting that thugs have attempted to take over the offices of the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Here’s a picture from the MacIver Institute’s Facebook page:

Madison police were called when the thugs refused to leave when asked.

Apparently they were demanding a meeting with Gov. Walker, whose office is located a few blocks away from the RPW offices.

Here’s another look at what raw democracy looks like. Er, make that thugocracy:

From the MacIver Institute’s Twitter feed:

What we are seeing is mob rule. This is not democracy in action. We saw that in November of last year when voters in Wisconsin went to the polls and voted in solid majorities to change the course of state government.

This is only a step below the riots in Greece and Great Britain. And that is coming here.

Contrary to what the protesters are claiming, Wisconsin is not Egypt. It’s more like Greece. Only they aren’t burning cops. Yet.

The Denny’s Brawl

H/T to Jenn of the Jungle.

I went to a fight and a restaurant broke out. A brawl breaks out in a Denny’s Restaurant in Massachusetts.

This, folks, is the ghetto culture on display. Comes right from Urban America. Doesn’t matter if the combatants are black, white, Hispanic, green, orange or purple. It’s the garbage culture found in the music, the movies, the TV they watch, all of which glamorize the brawl-first tendencies of those seeped in the ghetto culture.

We started seeing it with the staged brawl on The Jerry Springer Show. But it’s gone way beyond that. it happened anytime one of these self-centered brats thinks he or she is dissed. The first reaction? Let’s fight.

My question is: why didn’t restaurant management call the police at the first sign of trouble?

Still Even More Civility From Union Thugs

Union thugs in Boston terrorizing an elderly man along with a leftwing talk show host wishing the elderly would all die.

Via Michelle Malkin, this report from an eyewitness to the incident:

My girlfriend and I were there as supporters for Gov. Walker, I am 55 yrs. old and have been to many, many protests in the last 3 years from Washington, D,C. several times, to many town-halls all around my state, and I dare say that this was the scariest one I have ever been to. I also dare say for the first time in all my life, I was actually ashamed to be an Irish-American. Most of the thugs that were protesting against Walker were Irish-American thugs, it reminded me of the movies “The Departed” or right out of the pages of “The Godfather”, and “Hoffa.”

The men were huge and screaming into the faces of anyone, I mean anyone they thought were against the unions. Most of the Gov. Walker supporters were 45-65 yrs. old.

With all that being said, to the point now, I witnessed a man about 45-50 or so and an elderly man pushed against a granite-wall statue where all these thugs had climbed on to scream out of control words that would put your ears on fire. They pushed and shoved until he fell on the ice, screaming the whole time to get the “F**K”out of here, they took the elderly man, pushing and shoving him, taking his flag and breaking it up..I heard the younger man say he was reporting this to the police, so I followed with my eyes, and could see from body language it was not going well for him with the police officer, I was so mad, I walked over and over heard him say to the man, “well that is not the story we heard”, I walked over them and said to the policeman, my girlfriend and I witnessed the whole incident and those two thugs went after those men and hurt them. Needless to say I am now witness to this if it proceeds to court. I am scared of repercussions from these thugs, but I will do my part for those two men who were brutally accosted by those “union thugs”.

This protest was not just a “figurative…”get bloody” it was actually done. Again it was the scariest protest I have ever been to. It was worse than you know and what the media portrayed it as….as usual!!

Plus, a fill-in for “Special Ed” Schultz, who drives the Short Bus of political commentary at PMSNBC says the elderly aren’t dying fast enough for him. From Mike Papantonio:

[T]his is a generational war. You have students at universities that are showing up, you have these senile old boneheads that are ol-, I mean, check, look at the pictures, I don’t even have to say, look at the pictures, Rich. Run any film, who is there for the teabaggers?! The people that are being paid for by the Koch brothers are there for the teabaggers, but take a look at the age discrepancy. They’ve used our school system. They’ve used our infrastructure. So the American Majority is busing these old feeble nuts to there and so they’re called, do you realize there’s, there’s a, calling our teachers pigs. Calling our teachers pigs and the teachers take it and that’s OK, that’s what they oughta do because you know what? The more light you shine on these senile, look, you know (laughs) truthfully, they’re the last days of their lives, they really are, these old, fuddie-duddies or curmudgeons are at the last days of the lives and you have students there that are in the protest that say, well look, we want to have the same thing you have. We would like to have infrastructure. We’d like to be able to educate our children. We’d like the same quality of life that we gave you. And unfortunately, you know, I guess the bad news is they’re not moving through fast enough because we can keep people alive a long time with good medication. But that’s who you have showing up as teabaggers.

One of Papantonio’s guests followed up with this gem:

Just a few funerals away from a good government.

No wonder they support ObamaCare and its death panels. They want these people gassed like Jews at Auschwitz. It’s pure evil.

More Video From The Freedom Works Protest

More classy behavior from union thugs at the Freedom Works protest courtesy of FW’s Julie Borowski:

Watch the thug in the jacket with the glasses and the red sweater try to shout down the man in the light blue shirt then failing to win that debate, he gathers his fellow union thugs to surround the man in the light blue shirt to try to intimidate him, shouting and pointing in his face.

This is not debate. This is pure thuggery. They clearly are not afraid to get a little bloody.

Even More Civility From Union Thugs

You stay classy, Big Labor.

A union thug unleashes a profanity-laced tirade at Tea Party activists in Ohio. Really classy. Has to be a product of gummint-run ejookayshun. Warning: Explicit profanity. Not suitable for viewing at work. Via Michelle Malkin:

More Nazi rhetoric. The money quote:

The Tea Party is a bunch of dick-sucking corporate butt-lickers who want to crush the working people of this country.

Yeah, right. Like anyone on the gummint payroll actually works. Speaking of sucking, all gummint union workers do is suck down tax dollars like the collection of parasites they are.

Another case of Big Labor intimidation comes from Rhode Island. A cameraman is assaulted by a union thug with a really nasty epithet:

You have to listen to a little over seven minutes of vile union rhetoric before Mr. Thug surfaces, screaming at the cameraman:

I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot!

You stay classy, pal. Profanity coupled with a threat of man-rape and a homosexual slur and a threat to follow the cameraman out of the premises for further confrontations.

Michelle Malkin describes the camerman as:

The cameraman who was accosted in the video is Adam Cole. He works for “We the People of Rhode Island,” a public access TV show in Rhode Island. Another witness and citizen journalist at the rally who had a video camera, Randy Swanson of Oathkeepers-Rhode Island, filmed the confrontation. Swanson tells me that criminal charges against the union supporter are pending — and that Providence Capitol Police, Providence Police Department and Rhode Island State Police are investigating other incidents that also occurred that day involving belligerent union supporters.

A side note … the average IQ from these rallies has to be in double digits. These clearly are not candidates for MENSA. Maybe to increase the average IQ, Robert Zemeckis can digitally insert Forrest Gump into the rallies.

Don’t expect anything from the legal system against any of these thugs. Any punishment will most likely be a slap on the wrist.

It’s becoming apparent that the Hate Left is pushing the envelope further and further in an attempt to provoke the Right into a confrontation.

It’s coming. Not sure how much more our side will be able to take without retaliating. Do we have to bring brass knuckles and crowbars to political rallies? We do have the right to self-defense.

Powder is dry.
