Anyone else offended by this?
Walker was interrupted by a protester who shouted "Gov. Walker, talk about immigration!" The protester continued to shout, but Walker brushed it off and went on with his answer.
"I'm used to protesters, so this is not uncommon," he remarked. "Probably exported in from Wisconsin."

............Senate President Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, introduced Walker, touting Walker's ability to beat back an effort to recall him from office after sweeping employment reforms that some considered anti-union became law.
"They were trying to intimidate us. I'm proud to tell you tonight that we were not intimidated. We took the power out of the hands of big special interests," Walker said.
He said thousands of protesters arrived at his home, and that was the origination of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
"My apologies for starting that," he said.
"Our reforms not only changed unions in our state, we were able to change our economic status," he said, adding that unemployment levels dropped, labor participation rates rose and the economy recovered.

(5,279 posts)Scotty, did you just claim to be so odious that Occupy Wall Street, a national movement against the financial industry, was formed to annoy you?
Vain much?
We don't hate you cause of your austerity policies as much as inability to grasp reality so such an extent that people from Maine and Louisiana look at us with pity in their eyes. The only state we are challenging is Kansas, in a race to serfdom.
You changed our economic status alright, you saddled us with a billion dollar (+) hole in the budget. To fix the hole you augured into the state you threw children to vulture capitalists and the environment has been declared industrial landfill.
You broke just about every campaign promise you ever made. You claim republican street creds for thing completely unrelated to you.
You take pride in the fact that almost at the post inaugural ball, you got nearly got recalled.
Just fuck you
