CNN: State Senator, Glenn Grothman heckled during TV interview

[TheWiGal]

Wisconsin would NOT be in a budget crisis if REPUGs hadn't given tax breaks to the wealthy elite. I am SO fed up with you all. Recall all of you.

[meribizarre]

Yes, it is nice to be able to make blanket statements like, 'the ppl who aren't here agree with us'

ORLY

How can you be SO SURE?

[TheNevin420]

FUCK GLENN GROTHMAN... how you gonna call them people slobs then when they right behind you.... he says they are decent!

[womsterr]

its EXACTLY the reason B Hussein Obama doesn't allow collective bargaining in the Federal Gov't

[MaudsPas]

Does a youtube teatard have any argument but "unions are bad" or "unions are thugs"?



[StoogeWatcher]

@MaudsPas Do Democrats have any argument that doesn't involve defending union fatcat bosses?

[biggerturtle]

@MaudsPas Unions are corrupt organizations who profit from member dues . It goes back to the 50's when the mob was in control and used union dues to line their own pockets. Today is about the same ; trash like Trumka utilize union membership for their own personal gain . Those are facts like it or not

[MaudsPas]

Well when corporate tax revenue is down 50% because two thirds of them aren't paying taxes your going to exacerbate any budget issues.

Tax the rich. Don't soak the middle class.

[xensor]

He was asked a specific and simple question that he didn't answer. So he was asked again, very clearly, and he STILL wouldn't/couldn't answer. Each time he offered a related talking point, not only worming out of the question but also trying to associate people's preexisting fears and justifiable concerns with Walker's unjust actions. Whatever side you're on, this kind of behavior shouldn't be accepted. He's dishonest to and dismissive of his constituents. How could anyone vote for him?

[weshoulddoitbig]

UW MADISON HAS BEEN OCCUPIED BY STUDENTS

this is a list of their INSANE demands

thumbs up to spread

[rgimpulse]

Co za asy?

[WingsOfFreedom101]

Arrest all the union trash! You losers!

[danielharmonizer]

LOL! All those ignorant people in the background swearing there is no budget crisis. Are these people on drugs? WI isn't the worst state right now in regards to the budget...but who is dumb enough to let the situation become California? Many of those protesters have failed to understand the problem. You will never solve a problem if you deny there is one. (I think that may be a AA quote.)

[InYourFaceRadio]

It's HIter-esk Bush/ Rove Cheney all over again. LET THEM EAT CAKE. And just like Hitler Bush, Walker the Wankers arrogance, will backfire.

[StoogeWatcher]

@InYourFaceRadio Liberals are the Nazis. They are anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, and pro-abortion. And you fascists were the ones bitching when it was Obama being compared to Hitler.

[InYourFaceRadio]

@StoogeWatcher -- Yes it makes sense in your Jabba the Rush, Glenn Beck "up is down" world, that tree hugging, environmentalist, who want to save the planet type people are jew/christian hating Nazi's. I can picture you walking down the street singing "D'oh Dee D'oh" God's Own Party are chocked full of immoral, torture lovers ... Go pick up your SS uniform at the cleaners, stooge.

[StoogeWatcher]

@InYourFaceRadio You liberals are the Nazis. As said earlier, liberals are anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, pro-abortion, and pro-Sharia. You support food bans, lawsuits against McDonald's, censorship of Danish cartoons, bitching to shut down TV and radio stations you don't agree with, Duke lacrosse rape hoax, quota systems, PETA and other animal rights nuts who firebomb research labs, blaming America for everything, blaming Israel for everything, and suicide bombers.

[InYourFaceRadio]

@StoogeWatcher - Food ban (up) Censorship of Danish cartoons (down)?? You live in a Rush Limbaugh world which is full of weak minded lemmings. Children make more sense. You are told what to think and believe and you like that. We pity your weaknesses.

[InYourFaceRadio]

If this was a teabagging protest, this moron would have been spit on.

[pkrprodigy777]

FUCK WISCONSIN,,,BUNCH OF BITCHES!!!!!

[LibertyAtStake]

Heckled? Try assaulted. Mobacracy in action.

[mapleuser22]

Elections have consequences. Walker won on November 2, 2010.

Get over it you whining, union teat sucking scumbags.

[Chocochoco3838]

He's just doing what the majority of the people want! Oh Wait! No they don't. But he doesn't care.

[eric19894]

really? Scott Walker was voted in as governor, the republicans were voted in, all by majority votes. Walker was very clear about what he wanted and would do if he took office. So actually yes the majority does want this.

[Chocochoco3838]

@eric19894  Actually Walker never talked about getting rid of collective bargaining and breaking the unions when he ran for office. The polls show the people of Wisconsin not only don't want this, but Walker would lose if the election were held today. So NO THEY DON"T.

[raisinbran1605]

I hate republican sleazy ass corporate cock sucking egotistical dickwads. Gov walker is a koch cock sucker. Republicans eat shit.

[TheTradingOutpost]

I hate scabs.

[johnvieth]

I worked closely with Glenn Grothman's father Harold for 3 years from 1991 to 1994. Like Glenn, Harold Grothman was also an attorney before seeking refuge as a worthless appointed government official. No one knew what he did all day. We knew what his job was, but he didn't actually *DO* anything, except draw an $80K salary for sitting in his office and looking confused. It routinely took him weeks to review a document. Total waste. It seems the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

[johnvieth]

He has never worked a day in his life at a real job. His life has consisted of (1) privileged childhood, (2) law school, and (3) politician. Why do we vote for these morons and allow them to run our State?!? And this guy is not only inept and worthless as a human being, he's also a despicable monster. Check out his Wikipedia article to read past quotes and his positions on various issues.

[raisinbran1605]

@johnvieth the reason these people get elected is becuase they have money and money is power and money is how you win elections. Sad but true. The latest supreme court ruling on unlimited corporate funds being used in elections sealed our fate as a free democracy.

[donttelluseenme]

@raisinbran1605 You mean its okay for UNIONS which by the way spends way more then corps on elections to bribe Dems with election money for everything they want but if a Rep gets into office then thats a bad thing? WOW you my friend are a fool!

[chase82]

This is the Senator who was assaulted at the courthouse. Has CNN reported on that...

[justonefirefly1]

@chase82 He was not you fucking cunt terrorists

[58fenix]

@chase82 THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION?

[298fmr]

So...this is what we get when 'everyone' goes to college! A college education USED to be something that was respected...now it is just another 'everyone goes - let's party hearty' deal. Far too many ignorant students go to college because they don't want to get serious and deal with life...and their minds are turned to mush by professors who want to turn America into some socialist country. Sad to think that parents pay thousands of dollars and lose their children to the likes of Bill Ayers!

[sonicclang]

The sign over his right shoulder, "In school we call this bullying" is just about right. The crowd is bullying. I'd say they have that just right.

[learnsean]

what a joke

[Faygo069]

The protesters ought to be shipped down as field laborers in the South or try living a half decent life from what they have now in Africa. Are their lives really gonna go from good to just excruciatingly terrible? C'mon please. I'm so glad I'm out of Madison. They've cultivated their expertise in bitching and not much else. See how hard at work they are?

[catgrenade12]

you're a fool.

[greenlightvapor]

come on guys WTF?>>>>>>>>>>>> Winning The Future

[TheJoshJman]

KILL THE BILL!!!

[StoogeWatcher]

@TheJoshJman PAY YOUR SHARE AND STOP SUPPORTING FATCAT UNION BOSSES!

[TheJoshJman]

@StoogeWatcher-- WHAT?!

[MAGNETGRUNT]

Now we can see the typical thug mentality of the unions manifesting directly through the workers. They should not be any different that the rest of us but then again the rest of us should not be any different than they are right now.

[MAGNETGRUNT]

Ah, the pains of austerity.

You know who we should be going after (for starters

Mr Hope and Chains and his band of snake oil salesmen

[delreydavid]

the worm couldnt answer the question. what does the removal of collective bargaining rights have to do with the budget crisis. Nothing. This is a uniun busting bill that a tbaggin govenor tried to slip past everybody. Take the stupid unioun busting crap out and this will be over. What about the 100+ million surplus that the govenor gave away to corporations? Now he is in a crisis? bullshit.

[jeremywkx]

@delreydavid if you know anything about how unions work, they would be able to win any paycuts back next year and may even receive backpay through the collective bargaining. They are estimated to have a 3.6 billion deficit for the next 2 years and it only grows through the automatic raises and abhorrant pension and healthcare that these workers receive.

[pasnell]

The heckler was asking about the $180 million tax break last week.... That was MORE important than a clerk putting food on her children's table.

[pasnell]

WI Gov had a $120 million SURPLUS on Jan 1, 2011..... 49 days later the State is in the hole....

Now you want this guy regulating worker's pay? He'll be dipping into the Janitors and account's pocket...to go to a Koch Brother's fund raiser...

[NWsubmom]

Sorry protestors the rest of the country thinks you're WRONG.

If we in the private sector have to sacrifice so should the union workers.

It's NOT FAIR.

[Viracocha711]

@NWsubmom You are WRONG on so many levels! The Unions are not against cutting back or paying more for their helth care! The Governor is trying to strip them of their ability to negotiate destroying the union! Striping them of their of their CB ability does not save the state a dime! At the same time the state just gave businesses HUGE tax cuts that cost the state MILLIONS! This country has been giving everything to big business & leaving the workers/middle class with NOTHING!!!!

[BeantownJim]

Send in the troops!
