Tomorrow the National Teapartiers plan to come from Virginia to come to protest the protesters, it would seem. It is unlikely they will be there to be supportive. It is heart warming to see the support that is being given them by many groups.
MSNBC's Ed Schultz has been on site and been wonderful in interviewing people. While other networks avoided coverage, he has been there for several evenings. He has been asking people why they are there. Even students are there top support their teachers. They are municipal workers. Governor Walker is clearly not trying to balance the budget, it is to 'bust' unions. The fan has finally been hit with the lies the Republicans have swallowed from the corporate money and the upper class in our two-class system. We have no more middle class and it is a disgrace to our America.
Watch this carefully. This is not just a Wisconsin issue, it is a United States issue and other states will follow. Watch closely.

Some of the protesters at these events carried signs calling Gov. Walker a dictator, and likening him to Mubarak and Hitler. As far as I know, Ed Schultz never criticized these signs as contributing to the toxic political atmosphere, and he certainly could have done so while still endorsing the main message of the protesters.
Do you think Ed Schultz should have said something about some of the over-the-top rhetoric at these protests, especially given what he has said about similar signs at tea party events?
Frank, I keep hearing what people ;should have said'. My husband used to tell me what I should have said. My response was, "When I start thinking with your brain, I might do that. Until then, I might miss a lot." Since his eye is to the camera and his probable prompter, I believe it is an assumption as to what he has seen and what he should have said. Perhaps, it is up to others who see it to twitter about it and see what comes of it.
