Anti-Walker Protests Continue, Outnumbering Pro-Walker Showing

Demonstrations continued today in at the state Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, against Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal -- which in addition to requiring greater contributions from public employees to their benefits packages, would also strip public employees of most collective bargaining rights. And today, pro-Walker protesters turned out, as well -- but were seriously outnumbered by the continued throngs of pro-union demonstrators.

The pro-Walker Tea Party rally featured something of all-star cast: Andrew Breitbart, Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher, Herman Cain and more. However, every estimate in the media has shown that the pro-Walker demonstration was outnumbered several times over by the pro-union demonstrators.

Reuters reports: "Both sides drew thousands to the state capital Madison on Saturday -- unofficial estimates put the total near 40,000 -- but opponents appeared to have several times as many as those backed by Tea Party groups, the first appearance by members of the conservative, limited-government movement this week."

Even on NPR the news was about how the Tea Party had shown up in large numbers without mentioning that the union and anti-Walker protests were many, many times larger.

is hell bent on keeping the right in power. Yesterday
the ratio of Teachers, Workers Pro Union were 10 to 1
against the Teabaggers.

The Pro Unions had 30,000

yet virtual blackout on the coverage.

When the media want to tell a story, spin a story or report a story, they aren't operating from an honest basis. Rethugs like Walker depend on it. It's demoralizing and definitely works to defeat grass roots movements.

But Walker and the newbies have to wait. I read it was 60 days before the recall vote, so 10mo from his sworn governor oath date in Jan.
