Keith Ellison:Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker is behaving like a "dictator."

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/02/23/house-dem-wisconsin-gov-walker-acting-like-a-dictator/

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the co-chair of the House progressive caucus, said Wednesday that Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker is behaving like a "dictator."

Walker has been "absolutely unreasonable, and is basically taking on the posture of a dictator," Ellison told reporters on a conference call organized by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

(snip)
Ellison accused Walker of having "a vision of America that's similar to somewhere like Nigeria or Pakistan," saying he's "been extreme, radical, reckless� and he's going to fail."

To the Wisconsin Democrats and pro-union demonstrators, Ellison said: "You are absolute heroes to us."

1. 'Nigeria and Pakistan', that's brilliant

the RW bigots hate Ellison for his blackness and his Muslimness, and now he compares their hero Walker to Nigeria and Pakistan. Best thing Ellison has done since using Thomas Jefferson's Koran. :rofl:
