Walker's Enemies List

.......................was ousted from Scott Walker's presidential campaign announcement event.
My friend, Bert, also had a negative experience when he tried to attend the event. In his own words, as he wrote for Cognitive Dissidence:
I printed out my ticket. I cleaned up a bit and even raised my clothing game to business casual. Then I drove across Waukesha Monday to the Scott Walker campaign announcement extravaganza at the county fairgrounds. What happened once I made it to the first entrance and handed the ticket to a smiling young woman is both appalling and entirely predictable.................
The flow of people from the parking lot brought me to the entrance, a temporary shade tent where attendees were channeled by tables through three lines. The friendly woman scanned the code on my printout, said okay as it beeped recognition, and then called me back as she looked at the hand-held gizmo's screen. It's been rejected, she said in a surprised tone.
Then she pointed me to the far row of tables to talk to another aide there. The young red-headed man named Nathan started punching at his pad and looking at the ticket. He wasn't resolving the rejection right away, asked for me email and then said this with his eyes on the pad: "Oh, did you sign the recall?"
"Yes," I said. "Oh, that's it then" he replied.....

1. Will it further my political ambitions?
2. Will it benefit my dark money donors/masters?
3. Will it impair government's ability to promote the common good?
4. And just for Nixonian ratf**king fun: Will it harm those on my "enemies list"?

(3,974 posts)We all know he's extremely vindictive, so would all those who signed the recall be marked for life in Walker's version of Homeland Security? He has always used his position to punish and make examples of groups of people, so I assume that would continue. Good luck getting that White House tour when the family visits DC...
