State Claims protesters caused upwards of $7.5 million damage to capitol.

More shenanigans from Wisconsin. $7.5 million to remove tape residue from marble. Funny considering protesters were taking care to use non-residual painter's tape.

1. liars.

[walldude]

2. Workin the Limbaugh "Slob" meme...

Fucking sheep the lot of them. Rush speaks and it becomes the meme of the day. Pathetic.

3. Was just going to post this when I saw your topic. This claim is one of the craziest yet.

As you said, they were using the approved tape.

I'm seeing a lot of jokes on Twitter that the $7.5 million would be a no-bid contract given to the Koch brothers...

[BadgerKid]

6. I think that's it -- "fines" as budget bypass. n/t

[magdalena]

10. Yeah I saw that joke quite a bit

and sadly that was my honest first thought when hearing this.

[11 Bravo]

4. Well, there's your lead on every single Fox"News" program tonight.

[Botany]

5. Please give me the contract ..... I am a landscaper and I will go to Madison

and clean up all that tape damage for only $3.5 million. :rofl:

Next claim too much pizza is giving the protesters "stinky farts."

[Brickbat]

7. $7.5 million to remove tape residue? ROFLMAO.

[TheMightyFavog]

20. And thye were using Painter's tape....

You know the stuff that painters use because well, It does not leave residue?

[snacker]

8. I'll clean it for $1 million...

good lord, they are reaching, aren't they???

[Botany]

12. shh!

look I'll get the bid for $3.5 million and give you $500,00 if you don't undercut me ....
you don't even have to work.

[snacker]

26. hmmm...let me think about that... n/t

[Blue Meany]

9. Must be no-bid contract to a Repbulican-owned compnay...

those "union thugs" in the employ of the state wouldn't cost anywhere near that.

[snacker]

11. Good call! n/t

[Botany]

15. KBR? Blackwater? Koch Brothers?

:rofl: Why do I smell a dick cheney deal here?

BTW last time I checked granite is a lot stronger than tape glue.

[Blue Meany]

17. Things cost a wee bit more with Republicans in charge...

Here's what needs to be done:

Follow these steps to remove adhesive tape stains from Acrylic Plastic, Alabaster, Asphalt, Chromium, Copper Enamel, Glass Linoleum, Marble, Pewter, Platinum, Plexiglas, Vinyl Clothing, Vinyl Tile and Vinyl Wallcovering:

•Scrape to remove any excess.
•Do not use an abrasive product.
•Dip a clean sponge or cloth into warm sudsy water and rub the gummy matter.
•The warm water will soften the tape so it can be removed with the sponge or cloth.
•Rinse with warm water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

$7.5 million for this? I think Dems could do it for a lot less, and still pay union wages.

13. If the republicans end up spending that 7.5 million, it'll end up in someone's pocket n/t

[gratuitous]

14. They will lie

They will cheat.

They will steal.

They will take anything not nailed down.

What, you thought just because they were caught red-handed, these fuckers would just shrug and say, "You caught me"? No, these motherfuckers are motherfuckers because they fuck mothers. And fathers. And children. And household pets. That's what they do. That's who they are.

[magdalena]

18. These are great! Thank you! n/t

[Newest Reality]

19. Wow! That's another sign of desperation.

More corporate Republican, wacky, loony shenanigans!

A couple thousand bucks to remove the tape residue and the rest goes in a favored crony's pocket. Weee! That is, if there were anything to repair or cleanup.

Shhh! That's their version of fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets. Typical, these days.

[blogslut]

21. cough*bullshit*cough

Soap and water doesn't degrade marble or cost millions of dollars. The Whiney Walkerites have officially entered the delusional stage.

[TomClash]

22. Koch to the rescue!

No bid, no skid cleaning.

[Starry Messenger]

23. LOL, probably just trying to bill someone for that.

I call shenanigans.

[Blue Owl]

24. Walker's bullshit is all over the capitol

That is quite a mess to clean up.

[Aerows]

25. Republicans

are making the most of their Democratic congresspeople being away from the capitol. They don't realize that they are just making themselves look more and more petty.
