JERUSALEM - As pressure mounts on the White House to intervene to stop Moammar Gadhafi's bloody crackdown in Libya, many commentators have been wondering why Barack Obama has been cautious in his criticism of the dictator after the U.S. president so fervently supported the removal from office of U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
But Gadhafi has been tied to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's spiritual adviser for more than 23 years.
The Libyan dictator also has financed and strongly supported the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan. Obama has ties to Farrakhan and his controversial group...
Jeremiah Wright, former pastor of Obama's longtime Chicago church, went with Farrakhan to visit Gadhafi in 1984.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: You got pranked...
WIS. GOV. SCOTT WALKER: I did.
VAN SUSTEREN: ... by someone who said that -- you thought you were speaking to the Koch -- one of the Koch brothers. How did that happen?
WALKER: Multiple calls out there. We get employers -- we get people calling us from all across the state. I get employers both who live here, as well as those people who have employment here. This is one of our employers here in the state of Wisconsin. Amongst the multitude of calls I get from people across the state, across the aisle, across the country, he got through. I think the clear thing is anybody who's looked at the transcript realized I said the same thing on the call to him that I say every day.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, except for something you said you got layoff -- you said -- you quoted as saying, I've got layoff notices ready.
WALKER: I do.
VAN SUSTEREN: You do?
WALKER: I said that two days ago.
VAN SUSTEREN: Who do you have layoff notices for?
WALKER: I said for us, it's the at risk notices that will go out early next week. I said that on channel 3, one of the local affiliates, a day-and-a-half before the call.
VAN SUSTEREN: How about this one, about -- where Koch is saying -- is accused of some -- or he's quoted some profanity, the fake Koch. And it says, We sent Andrew Breitbart down there. And you go, yes.
WALKER: Look, yes, I didn't even know who that is.
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you know who that is?
WALKER: I do not.
VAN SUSTEREN: Never heard of him?
WALKER: I've never met the Koch brothers before. This is obviously why someone calling could prank be on it because I've never talked to him before. I know he's an employer in the state. And in the end -- I mean, I think it's interesting because the prankster there tried to insinuate at least that this person was going to push for people to come in and cause a disturbance amongst the protesters. I made it very clear that's not right. That's not -- that doesn't work. That adds no value.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, you said you'd thought about it.
WALKER: Well, he did.
(CROSSTALK)
VAN SUSTEREN: ... in the transcript, when you brought up the part about, basically, dirty tricks in the crowd, you said, Well -- he says, You -- as least you're quoted as saying, "You know, well, the only problem with that, because we thought about that, the problem that my only gut reaction that is right now, the lawmakers I've talked to have just completely had it with them. The public is not really fond of this."
WALKER: Right. Because in the end, the protesters have not overwhelming. They realized they've come in from other states...
VAN SUSTEREN: But you thought about it.
WALKER: We do. We had people contact -- I'd had people -- I even had lawmakers and others suggesting riling things up. What I pointed out increasingly, and I've said it all over the media, I've said it in all my interviews, is that we've had a civil discourse amongst people here in the state of Wisconsin. My great fear is that people come from other states -- my biggest fear was last Saturday, when you had protesters both for and against the bill coming in. I thought you were going to have a major collision between the two. And thank God, we didn't have any disturbance. I think that's because the people of the state are the ones driving this.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Koch says, "Beautiful, beautiful. You got to love" -- and makes a reference to another anchor at another network and says, "She's a real piece of ass." Walker, that's you, "Oh, yes."
WALKER: Like, Oh, yes, I don't know -- I mean, what is he talking about? He's talking about MSNBC. I said in the end, you know, it's one of those where I'll go on...
VAN SUSTEREN: "Piece of ass" is probably -- I mean, probably don't like (INAUDIBLE) heard referring to an anchor as a piece of ass, I imagine, "Oh, yes." I mean, you didn't say that, but you did say, "Oh yes."
WALKER: Yes, like, Oh, yes, what is he talking about? He's talking about MSNBC. I said I'd go on any network out there to make our case about what's going on here.
VAN SUSTEREN: Koch is quoted as saying, "Well, I tell you what, Scott. Once you crush these bastards, I'll fly you out to Cali and really show you a good time." Walker, "All right, that would be outstanding." And then the suggestion is there might be a...
WALKER: And for us, the bottom line is I have never met the guy before. I don't even know where he's talking about in terms of that place. For me, I felt uncomfortable from the point where when he first started talking about disrupting. I said, We're not going to do that. That's something that doesn't make any sense strategically. We've got a good, civil debate. And here again, for us, I've talked about the same things in front of the public. I talked about it in each of the press conferences. We're going to continue to be accountable and open to the public.
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you know who the Koch brothers are?
WALKER: Oh, I'm aware of them, very much so, in the last couple weeks.
VAN SUSTEREN: Have they -- have they funded you at all at any point in your campaigns?
WALKER: From what I read, they were one of the multitudes that -- we had one of the largest-spending campaigns in state history, about $11 million. As to what they've given exactly, that I don't know.
VAN SUSTEREN: Any -- any estimate how much?
WALKER: Again, I don't know.
VAN SUSTEREN: Never met them?
WALKER: I have not.
This is Mark Miller, a Democratic state senator from Wisconsin. He is supposed to uphold the US Constitution and do his job and vote. He must know what he is doing is the lowest thing a state senator could do because he slithered away like the union owned leach he is. The Tea Party is looking for you anti-democracy Democrats. We will confront you and it will get on the news.
Illinois Tea Partier: "Sir, shouldn't you be in Wisconsin fulfilling your Constitutional responsibilities?"...The senator does not want anything to do with the camera. If he was doing something honorable he wouldn't have acted the way he did. These Democrats are pissing on this country,the voters of Wisconsin...and all the people that have given their lives for our freedoms.
I can tell you one thing. These Democrats and the Democratic Party as a whole aren't winning over independants and moderates. The Democratic Party base of unions,socialist and anti-government anarchists may be getting moist over these moves the rest of the nation is imbarassed of them. This is going to turn out great for both the Tea Parties and the Republican Party. Who knows maybe a third party might come out of the Democratic Party ashes.
All I know is the more people see of these people the less they like them. So keep up the violent rhetoric, fleeing from voting, closing schools and laying off workers because the government had to shut down. I'm sure the parents and taxpayers are happy with the Democratic Party and teachers unions costing them more money.
National Education Association’s retiring top lawyer, Bob Chanin, speaking at the NEA’s annual meeting in July, 2009: “Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.” “And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.” “This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary. These are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights and collective bargaining. That simply is too high a price to pay.”
This has got to make parents and grandparents feel good knowing that this is who is "teaching" their children. This is just more reason to throw out the unions. Keep the teachers, but throw out the unions.
While this is happening in Wisconsin we have the Democratic Party calling for violence in the streets.
"Sometimes it's necessary to get out in the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.
Does that sound like a call to violence? It sure does to me. If there is any violence it will be on the Democratic Parties hands.
During a pro-union rally at Colorado’s State Capitol yesterday, some alleged SEIU union supporters got into a shouting match with a black Tea Partier. But the conversation wasn’t just a loud, heated exchange. It got very personal when two union supporters ganged up on the conservative, one of them calling him “uneducated” and another asking him if he has any children “that he claims”:
According to RedWhiteBlueNews.com, the woman in red was later asked what she meant by her comments about the man’s children. “She said the black conservative was such a ‘free spirit’ that she assumed he would possibly not own up to the responsibility of being a father,” the site says.
Just so you know, the man admitted on camera he was gay.
SEIU’s involvement in the protest is supported by a schedule on the union’s website that names Denver, CO as a rally site.
See more videos of the man being heckled at Gateway Pundit.
When was the last time a union member got fired for racism? Unions have a culture of racism that goes way back in it's history to today. The union protects the racist within the unions, making it near imposable for the government or companies to keep the racists fired. See unions not only protect the jobs of those union members that smoke pot on their lunch breaks and come into work rocked out of their minds.
They also protect their members when racist. We all know what the union does to snitches that tell on their union brothers and sisters.
Watch who get's arrested in the video. Watch the crowed yelling at the big white guy for attacking that Tea Partier. If it wasn't racism then why was the "N"-word used? Take a look at the white guys posture when he gets up and heads towards the guy in the white shirt. The black Tea Partier and the crowd pointed the two men,one black and the other white SEIU members out to the police. The police put cuffs on both those men. But for some reason I've been accused of lieing about the fact that this attack was race based.
But the left only see the fact that the white SEIU member feel down and stopped watching the rest of the video. Calling me a liar doesn't make it true.
Maybe someone should look into the teachers unions trying to push race based classes and race based testing in our government run schools. Or maybe someone should look at why black children do so poorly on tests and graduation rates. Could there be a form of institutional racism within the way black children are taught vs Asian and white kids? I'm not saying that this is the case of why some races do better then other with government education. But the fact is black children in government/teachers union schools do much worse then private and parochial schools. Just maybe policy and pre-judging based on race has something to do with it. Maybe the unions and the government has lower expectations based on race. I do know race is very important to the government schools because they send home a RACE AND ETHNICITY survey home for all parents to fill out. I ask you what use does race have in educating our children?
By liberal politically correct rules these protesters in Wisconsin,Indiana and Ohio are racist. Those protesters are whiter then MSNBC.
That isn't my rule, but the left better start looking at why their protests are full of white people. We wouldn't want to see more liberal hypocrisy now would we? I've seen more diversity at the Tea Parties then these anti-government rallies in Wis,OH and IN. I wonder why the main stream media(MSM) isn't pointing out this fact with the same vigor as they did with Tea Party rallies?
A sizable number of voters are following new Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s showdown with unionized public employees in his state, and nearly half side with the governor.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters agree more with the Republican governor in his dispute with union workers. Thirty-eight percent (38%) agree more with the unionized public employees, while 14% are undecided.
This is great news for all the Republican and Tea Party Governors out there. This has become a populous movement that the people stand behind. We have seen what we get for our money when it comes to government unions and government teachers unions.
The Tea Party and Republican Party has shown how last Novembers elections went not only from the Federal level but also from the state and local level. Progressives and government unions will be giving back and we Tea Partiers have the power todo some real damage to the Progressive union machine.
Have fun watching this buffoon lose his mind and come unhinged. He starts out goofy and breaks into a full blown batshit nuts liberal. You'll laugh you but off when he turns into Cujo. I just hope they don't become violent like they usually do.
MADISON, Wis. - The fight in Wisconsin's capital is marked by a fundamental disagreement over Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal. Protesters claim it's a blatant assault on labor unions, while the governor's supporters say it's about government spending, plain and simple. It's time we start looking past the union talking points. Americans should have the right to be in a union or not. What is our government doing in the business of collecting union dues,mandating that all belong to the union and paying the union?
