Which would be inspiring for sure, if he were serving his country and not the special interests and Republican party line. Now, should Mr. Walker make similar strides toward abolishing industrial lobbies and chambers of commerce, he might be inching towad 'hero' status. As it is, he's only going along with ideological doctrine. So, fuck him.
Also: nearly a trifecta, got the hard right wing no unions stance, a bit of conspiracy with the idea that someone would go after Walker's life over this. Just need some 'ZOMG jew-run driveby lamestream MSM librul media'. Try harder.

Heroism is not for the faint of heart, and apparently neither the faint of brain.

Someone described the Randian hero as the fantasy a weak woman, who blames her weakness on the inferiority ascribed to her sex, has of the omnipotent figure she would be if only she had been born with a penis. Such dreary hybristophiles invariably try to browbeat their daughters into the same defeatist worldview, so I really hope Ms. Hutton hasn't got any.

He also put millions of dollars first. There's a word for that. It ain't hero.

We need a hero to break the hold of the Koch brothers on Wisconsin.

"Hero" is now a synonym for "crook"?

Yeah, that evil union hold which requires you and the likes of you to pay public employees a liveable wages. How unfair! How down right un-American! Damn! We should have a friggin' parade for Scott Walker! ... or a perp walk.

If you get any benefits at all with your job - safety inspections, protective gear, days off for sickness, holidays, any medical benefits or insurance, opportunity to purchase stock in the company- you can thank union member who got their heads busted literally fighting for those rights.

Scott Walker is the most corrupt politician of the age, and the living embodiment of American political and social backwardness. Only in a country where Hitler is considered a leftist could Walker be called a hero.

Dude. Brendan. Calm down. Your hyperbole is distracting. Hitler wouldn't be considered a leftist in America, not by a long shot.

I hate how they automatically saint somebody as soon as he does something they agree with. I believe there is some legitimate argument in reforming public unions. however we cant have that discussion because the right automatically starts looking at everything in black and white, then babbles in tongues when you challenge there extreme position.

@J. James:
He's kinda right about that one, if you look at the Tea Bagger segment of the American population. The American right now considers Hitler a leftist. It's rather pathetic.

As Arizona has shown, popping a politician isn't that difficult. Although I'm sure he received a number of death threats, I seriously doubt he or his family was ever in any danger. I could still be proven wrong, I certainly hope not.

Scott Walker may have broken the public unions, but now with a Democratic Senate, he probably won't break the private sector unions, Barbara.
And no, I don't like him at all. Yes, I believe outspending his opponent influenced the election.
But only somewhat: it was a recall. And on top of that, a rematch from 2010. In hindsight, Barrett probably didn't have a chance even without the massive amounts of cash.

Yes, Scott Walker is a hero.
Scott Walker a hero? Walker's a fucking amateur.
My heros are the guys who used to have those pinko union organizers shot dead. Risk an election? What a wuss.
The real heros used to run sweatshops with child labor. Thank God things are headed back in that direction. Jesus is smiling. Heaven is laughing. Praise the Lord, thank you Jesus!

So Ms. Hutton, you think a 40 hour work week must be too long then huh? Oh guess what, people DIED for the 40 hour work week. You know who died, those brave people who organized themselves into unions so that they might manage to have a shred of power of their own lives. I'd like to see you say that to those who died at Homestead, PA in 1892 or Ludlow, CO in 1914.

Many wingnuts think that the word "Socialist" in "National Socialist German Workers' Party" is proof that Hitler and the Nazis were leftists.

@Shockna, @dfmfundies
Oh, sure, they CALL Hitler a secret liberal/socialist or whatever, but when it comes to actual right-wing policies like mass genocide and military dictatorship, of course they look on those things with revulsion.
They just happen to think those policies are intrinsically liberal, not right-wing. They're idiots, not necessarily evil.

It's about time big brave Scott Walker met with the union leaders then, as they have repeatedly requested. But alas no, but as a Koch brother phones he's right on that.
Puppet of the slavers, nothing but.
