There are idiots on both sides of this debate that take things too far and its sad.  Stories have been reported about supporters of the bill getting abuse too.  It doesnt matter, its not right on either side and hopefully its just a few bad apples and the press grabbing for whatever angle they find.

I’m not going to repost all of the ongoing argument but please explain who told the family to have the 6 kids? And explain why it is the role of the government to compensate them for this decision. And why my tax should be higher because another family chose to have more children. Also I am very surprised this thread has not been pulled just from the opening title.

TriRSquared - 2011-02-18 11:08 AM I want to fix that link for you because I think it's very important...

There is absolutely no justification for these people's signs, actions and threats. It is vile and despicable and every time I've seen someone with one of these signs, I've talked to them about it. I've gotten a handful of people to toss their signs to the side.

Do not let Fox News tell you what this rally is like, because it is BS. It is not filled with hate, nor is it filled with death threats or targets. These people are the fringe minority and WIDELY disliked for their signs. It has been completely peaceful, filled with (mostly) good conversation about understanding that we need to do something and a complete willingness to work out what that something is and a show of solidarity from the firefighters like I've never seen before.

If you want to see the videos that I've taken, go here. Yes, there are some bad eggs in there, but it's is the absolutely small minority.

burhed - 2011-02-18 11:12 AM This is my last response, sorry, you can accuse me of throwing in the towel. Too much work to do. Responding to all comments regarding my comment about the higher income benefiting from the government. I'm not talking about just the obvious things where the government is putting money into somebody's pocket. As I had written in a past post a while ago. I gain from government funding to research (TriAnna may remember this). I was educated in the public school system through college. Many of the people that I deal with were educated in this same public system (through PhD level). This is just one example of benefiting from government spending. Higher income people will tend to benefit from things like the court systems (say patent courts to protect a product to make money on), these are government funding are they not? Military spending for weapons systems end up going into the private sector by paying engineers etc to develop these things. I think is disengenuious (sp?) to just say only the poor benefit from government spending and the rich don't benefit.

Focus on Gail Chicks.

ETA: That isn't linking to the right post. Let me see what I'm doing wrong.

ETA2: I had the wrong one. Note that Gail was still talking about guns in that one, but this is the one I was referring to specifically:

https://www.facebook.com/vickimckennapage/posts/498915727410[/QUOTE]

I read ever post from Gail and in one post she metnioned she knew her way around guns. That's hardly like telling someone you are going to murder them or their family.

If there is something more specific could you provide it? If this is all you have I think you are the guilty of ramping up the violence with your unfounded assertion.

With Vicki you have specifically said she threatned the lifes of your friends, I saw nothing of that either, if she did I would suggest contacting the proper authorites and bringing it to the admins of Facebook as well.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?@#

*twitch*

Go search Vicki's page for this thing where she says something along the lines of, "Clear on the left, clear on the right..." (I don't know the reference as I don't know much about guns), but she says something about lining them up. I have no time to search right now...I've got to go back and support my people. It's there, I promise you. If you see nothing wrong with that post, you'll see nothing wrong with any of the BS that the protesters have been showing.

I went to the second link you provided which you said clearly showed the threats.

I read every one of Gails post as you said.

You now say that "Clear on the left, clear on the right..."  is a death threat, really? If you honnestly feel that way as I mentioned as a good citizen you should contat those I mentioned earlier. But to say those words are how did you state it threats against your friends lives, really?

Is Vicki a pot stirrer, looks like it to me, has she made any death threats direct or vailed, not from what I've read or what you've provided.

You are the one who made the claims of death threats, I think it's on you to provide evidence of such, or retract your false accusation?

As far as the comparison to Egypt, it would appear the union, teachers and you are on the side of status quo, much like Mubarak and his administration was in Egypt.  Hopefully the people of WI will prevail here agaisnt the government as they did in Egypt.

RedShark - 2011-02-18 12:01 PM "Obama accused Scott Walker, the state's new Republican governor, of unleashing an "assault" on unions in pushing emergency legislation that would change future collective-bargaining agreements that affect most public employees, including teachers."

I thought after the Arizona shooting Obama DEMANDED that language be toned down - now he is using words like assault. Huh!!! I guess the party of hypocrites continues on.
