Info on Recall Walker Worker Infobase

Right wingers in Wisconsin have set up a Facebook page called Recall Walker Worker Infobae, apparently as a vehicle for stalking recall workers. They boasted today that they are getting some sort of television coverage tonight. Anyone in Wisconsin know about this? I'd be VERY interested in what kind of coverage they're talking about. Any Wisconsinites who see this, please let me know.

1. Stalking?

What are they planning to do? Something illegal? I'll be glad to take their picture and call the police right away if they try.

2. Yes, some form of stalking, I suspect.

The people involved in this blacklash seem to be big on intimidation. And as I said, they've boasted on their facebook page about getting some kind of television coverage. I'm naturally curious about what kind of coverage that might be.

3. saw it on news

Quick report that "things are getting ugly" and that a groupis threatening to sabotage efforts to recall claiming they will work to collect signatures then shred petitions. They didn't name or show page. It was on Milwaukee's TMJ4. Check their site... I would but on way out.

5. Thanks!

Here's the funny part -- the Facebook page has now erased that bit about how they're going to post pictures and info on recall workers, gone into a sweaty panic about "trolls" on their site, and announced they will post the "personal information" about any "trolls" who visit. Interestingly enough, there's an entry announcing a post that includes "a partial list of trolls and their personal info." As one of those "trolls" I looked for it, but no such list is evident, which leads me to suspect that they were forced to remove it.

Bullies. They always turn out, at base, to be utter cowards.

10. Here.

http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/133795238.html

MILWAUKEE - The effort to recall Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker has turned ugly on Facebook.

A number of people have posted comments threatening to sabotage the petition process.

One man writes, "I'll be taking those petitions and shredding them when I am done."

Another writes, "Show me the law against making up a petition, having people sign it and then burning it."

That author insists it's a joke that got out of hand.

The Wisconsin Democratic Party doesn't find humor in the postings.

"We went from practical joke to, evidently, 10 o'clock news, but there's not truth behind it," said Matt Lepperd, one of the comment posters.

"These folks want to create confusion. They want to sow fear. That's their (modus operandi)," claimed Democratic Party of Wisconsin Communications Director Graeme Zielinski.

In a written statement, the Republican Party of Wisconsin tells TODAY'S TMJ4 it does not condone or support any misconduct or foul play by any outside groups or rogue individuals to interfere with the process.

4. Maybe we should all head on over there an turn ourselves in

Let them see how totally effing outnumbered the idiots are. Make their heads explode and fill their page (if it's public) with our names and addresses and dare them to come for us.

We can remind them that the castle doctrine and concealed carry isn't just for pukes. If they think Liberals don't own guns, they're stupider than we thought.

6. They are already in a shrieking panic over "trolls. "

Sounds like the coverage they boasted about the other day didn't work out too well for them.

7. I popped in this morning and saw that.

They've spent more time threatening trolls than getting anything done. Sounds like about 10 crazies post regularly and the rest are just there for the entertainment value.

8. A few thousand of us will hit the streets in Wisconsin tomorrow

to do something perfectly legal that the citizens of Wisconsin are demanding. We have walk lists and aren't going to be knocking on the doors of strong Republicans. Can't they just respect our rights as citizens to express our political voice?
