Scott Walker is beyond sick - he compared labour unions to ISIS- too much for the Texas lunatic

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s comparison of his fight with labor unions to the U.S. struggle against the Islamic State was “inappropriate” and a “mistake,” likely Republican presidential competitor and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Thursday.

CPAC Day Two: Walker and Jeb Bush

“These are Americans,” Perry said in an interview after Walker made the comments at the Conservative Political Action Conference early Thursday evening. “You are talking about, in the case of ISIS, people who are beheading individuals and committing heinous crimes, who are the face of evil. To try to make the relationship between them and the unions is in appropriate.”

In a question-and-answer session at CPAC, Walker was asked how he would fight the terror group that’s been beheading Westerners and seizing territory across Iraq and Syria. He concluded a lengthy answer by referring to his own political fights with labor unions in his home state: “If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world,” he said.

When asked if he thought Walker’s comments went too far, Perry said, “yes.”

Walker is a ReTHUG fascist Koch owned asshole - he's not ready for prime time.

1. It seems like the principal talent of Republicans running for President

is that of targeting their foot and firing.

2. The republican base eats that shit up

[elehhhhna]

3. headline is mistaken

He was referring to 100,000 voting taxpayers who protested, not the unions.

4. Right. Union or non-union. All workers are terrorists. nt

6. Worse yet, he was comparing peaceful, legal exercise of the right of assembly

with beheadings and burning people alive.

5. the scary part is this:

Nothing Walker ever says is ever "off the cuff." I can just about guarantee that Walker's handlers knew he would be asked about ISIS. The scary thing is that, with a guy who literally never ever goes off script, we can probably assume that this was actually his prepared response.

It didn't fly so they're now walking it back, but I have no doubt that this is actually what he was told to say.

7. It'd just as bad to compare the Tea Party to ISIS

I want to remind people comparisons like this shouldn't be tolerated from anybody. You have a right to be angry; ISIS is a bunch of murderous thugs, unions obviously are not murderous thugs. However, I have seen many posted comments on the net claiming the tea party is just as bad as ISL which obviously isn't true either. Just sayin'

8. Welcome to DU, I think.

Walker made the comparison and you'r telling us, well you know what you just told us.

I find that very odd. Why not just stick to the topic at hand.

BTW as a Gay man you would be hard pressed not to get me to compare the two. Just sayin'

13. thanks

To me the topic at hand is the name calling. Like I said, I read comments by Americans comparing other Americans to ISIS all the time and it never advances the conversation and honestly, it is the writer that looks like an dummy, not the writer's target.

14. Curious...

why did you come into a thread on some bullshit that creepy Scott Walker said and use it as an opportunity to wag your finger at other people? Nobody in this thread has compared Americans to ISIS...except Scott Walker.

How do you feel about labor unions? How do you feel about Scott Walker?

9. anyone that can make perry look smart is beyond ignorant

10. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahha

11. I truly believe Scott Walker is mentally ill.

He lacks a conscience and relishes the suffering of others. This is a very dangerous man.

[Bill USA]

12. a real turd.

[red dog 1]

15. Walker is a union-busting tea bagger,

and the fact that he is now the leading GOP presidential candidate says a lot about the Republican Party.

I never thought I'd agree with ANYTHING that Rick Perry ever said; but I do in this case.

Thanks for posting this, malaise.
