Teh Wingers of Wisconsin have gone off the deep end.

Boy, do I have some deals for you!

It's NOT about that.

They don't want people to see how many signatures there are. They really don't want people to realize just how very unpopular Walker is.

That's my take.

a recall petition? Some of his gang are coming unglued.

GAB has no dog in this fight. They didn't want to do the Walker campaign's job of verifying signatures, but a court decision forced them. They didn't want to post petitions online, but the AG and WisGOP forced them. The GOP wants them online as a bully tactic against those who signed and circulated. In addition, they can now task all their followers to try to strike signatures from the comfort of their living rooms.

They ommitted the contact information but retained name and address.

privacy issue? Thanks

Kennedy, of the GAB, stated open records trump privacy for political purposes. The GOP Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is soliciting readers to review the signatures and report back to them: http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/dataondemand/138133913.html

They are clueless.

Ugh, I hate the Journal more than ever.

but this is going to get interesting....

... of threats or violence? Threatening to burn down the house of someone who signed is terrorism. Where is his condemnation of this behavior?


On another note, I would have loved to be the fly on the wall when Kennedy had to face his staff on this issue. He's a tool for the right-wing and is not to be trusted.

Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes.

The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

I.Q., or intelligence quotient, is a score determined by standardized tests, but whether the tests truly reveal intelligence remains a topic of hot debate among psychologists.

Dr. Gordon Hodson, a professor of psychology at the university and the study's lead author, said the finding represented evidence of a vicious cycle: People of low intelligence gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, which stress resistance to change and, in turn, prejudice, he told LiveScience.
