A woman slaps Scott Walker's opponent, Tom Barret, for conceding.

A (Dem) man(?) sobs, saying "Democracy died tonight."

Angry libs flood Twitter with Scott Walker death threats after Wisconsin recall defeat.

Is this what we have to look forward to and worse when Obama looses this November?

Is this the typical reaction of Dems, Liberals, and Progressives when they loose?

  Someone has forgotten what happened after the Obama election amongst many conservatives
  
  When election results occur that will make the lives of people allready struggling even harder it's hardly surprising that there will be anger and resentment is it? This was always going to be a very charged election considering it was are recall and how polarized the state is.

  We did away with collective bargaining here in Tennessee at about the same time WI did. We had a couple of small protest but nothing to hardly mention. Certainly not death threats against our Governor like what happened last night. See for yourself.

  Even if I had a spare $50, I wouldn't take that bet. I like surer bets than that. Like whether or not my Ex-wife knows her butt from a hole in the ground. You know, something I know I'll win.

  "Let me add some unbidden (and probably unwelcome) praise for Ted Kennedy to Harold Meyerson's post. Though it may not be featured in the Ken Burns video tonight, the last lion of liberalism is the main reason for passage of No Child Left Behind education reform and the Medicare prescription drug benefit -- the main domestic legacies of the Bush administration. He was also a major ally in President Bush's attempt to pass comprehensive immigration reform, arguing, "It's a defining issue about the kind of country we are. It's a moral issue. It's how we treat people."
  
  Few are willing to honor these achievements. Conservatives generally repudiate them as costly (Medicare) and inappropriately liberal (NCLB and immigration reform). Liberals tend to ignore any accomplishment tainted by Bush's support. But millions of poor seniors still get their prescriptions every month pretty much for free, thanks to Bush and Kennedy.
  
  Kennedy has often been a determined, even ferocious, partisan. But he is primarily a legislator -- actually an increasingly rare calling in the legislature. He has never adopted the viewpoint that a partisan victory is preferable to an actual accomplishment. And that is worthy of praise."

OK...I'll do it your way...you twisted my arm!!

You do know that Walker is being investigated for corruption and embezzling, right? He's using campaign money to fund a legal defense team. He's a garden variety "rough boy"...not really rough, but willing to lie, cheat and steal.

Romney, on the other hand, is a real rough boy. Oh, he doesn't get HIS hands dirty, but he engineers the dirt. You don't have money stashed all over the world by being mr. honest nice guy...do you honestly not know that?

I suggest you look up Cofer Black and Detachment 88...you may find why he was Mitt'sters military advisor. May even give you clues about what Mitt has in mind for "the little people" here!

Then go here:
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.c … php?ref=mp

neither Scott Brown nor Mitt Romney called this scoundrel out. Not a word.

Oh--and I have it on very good authority that Walker is actually a citizen of another country, and that Mitt is hiding several other wives.
They both hate children and animals, and have no allegiance to this country.

3. Obama is going to win in November. This is all pretty much a moot point.

FWIW, anyone who votes for Romney because he is against gay marriage or because he promises to repeal Obamacare needs to re-evaluate the decision. Anyone who votes for Romney because they honestly believe that Obama has done nothing for the country in the last 3+ years needs to go back to see what has actually happened.

  Josak, nice to see you again. I take your word for these things and you do your homework well. My biggest concern has been the inability to get a grip on the runaway spending and outrageous waste we all are aware of. Things like "don't ask don't tell" only apply to a small percentage of our population. I know our President is not totally in control of the spending. He has 535 other elected officials helping him drain the tax payer coffers. Some of the tax payer money he invested in companies like Solyndra were very questionable. I just have not seen a great many positive moves by this president that were not directed toward one or the other special interest groups. The things you cited were of benefit to all our citizens. Some things are difficult or impossible to measure whether they be considered good or bad.

  Yes, really.
  
  This is what I cant stand about the GOP. Everything a Republican does is for the benefit of the country without question.
  
  However, everything the Democrats do is evil and repugnant. Obama hasn't done anything, but Bush did so much for us. He was a shining example of how a president should behave. Bush never vacationed and did everything he could to bring down the deficit.
  
  This is why I can't believe anyone takes the GOP seriously.

  Remember the Iran hostage rescue attempt? Jimmy Carter took the blame for its failure. Would he also have gotten the credit had it succeeded?
  
  It's the same with the bin Laden mission. I have no doubt in my mind that if something had gone wrong, it would be Obama's fault from beginning to end: wrong timing, wrong plan, wrong wrong wrong.
  
  Hypocrites.

  Well actually something did go wrong. We lost a stealth copter in the attack.
  Look he was commander-in-chief and gave the go ahead but there were lots of others responsible as well and that goes for whomever is in office.
  
  Here's something you aren't expecting. I'm gonna take up for Carter.
  He didn't know that attempt was happening. His staff was trying to get it done because they knew he didn't want to do it. Don't know if you were around then but he was TICKED!

I'll repeat part of it for you.
First, a little background:

Since Obama announced, he has been subject to dirty lie campaigns, smears on his person, and smears on people he knew...if only to say hello! So--since Obama is attacked for his childhood, his parents, his preacher, his church,and the people he knows, here's a little friend of Mittens you may want to know about:
Dirty cop and Tea Bagger, friend to both Romney and Scott Brown: Jeff Perry.

"In 1991, Officer Scott Flanagan claimed to be searching for drugs when he stuck his hand down a 14-year-old girl’s underpants. Perry was the supervising officer on scene. The official complaint alleges Perry “observed the strip search” but “did nothing to protect her.” Perry, for his part, claimed that “it did not occur in my presence, and I have no knowledge of it,’ , the Boston Globe reports.

In the second incident, in 1992, purportedly at Flanagan’s request, Perry accompanied him to a 16-year-old girl’s house. There, her parents later testified, Perry informed them that he and Flanagan had searched her for drugs, and added “oh, yeah, by the way, [she] pulled her pants down for us.”

Now--you may not have daughters, but if some creep cop tells ME my daughter pulled her pans down for him....he's getting a punch in the nose.

Also Cofer Black was his military advisor in his last go-round for prez.(or gvr--don' remember)
Heard about him back some years, when he was running Detachment 88 in Myanmar.
Military Occupation.

Of course, you won't care, because to some-- Mitt blows golden snots, but as far as these kind of people running this country....oh hecks no.
