12. Incredibly, they were warning of the same thing -- that WE would incite violence
and the union thugs might be cracking skulls! They advised keeping cool, too. Let's see how many show up and who loses their cool first.

I doubt there will be any Dems wrestling a woman to the ground and stomping on her head.

Teabaggers, actually.
They have a Fb page up rallying the morons to the Capitol on Saturday.

Kochsuckers.

14. Go take a shower. Rinse your eyes out with mild boric acid or something.
Then get back to us. We need you.

Good for Jesse, I wondered about him, and Sharpton too.

17. Jesse Jackson will be on Ed Show tonight.
I believe that the person speaking, who works for the Nation Magazine, said he was surrounded by 6,000 protestors there in Wisconsin. Didn't hear that he brought them with him. I could be wrong.

Go Jesse!

Listening to Ed from Chicago Progressive Radio right now.

18. Was jackson seeking some relevance? He certainly hasn't had any lately.
Let's not reminisce about Jesse Jackson.

The unions in Madison need solid support - not a media hound.
