WSJ runs headline "Democrats to End Union Standoff". WI Dem says bs, comments taken out of context.
Edited on Sun Mar-06-11 09:23 PM by jefferson_dem
Here's the fabrication ... story at WSJ - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703362804576184892548853056.html

Chris Larson (Democrat)

Sen. Miller's comments are taken out of context in the Wall Street Journal article just released. Dems will return when collective bargaining is off the table. That could be soon based on the growing public opposition to the bill and the recall efforts against Republicans. Unfortunately, the WSJ fished for the quote they wanted, skipping this key step in logic: we won't come back until worker's rights are preserved.

9. Murdoch-owned might be a bit much
I know it's his crap, but really, I don't say, "I own that crap" after I wipe my butt and flush. It's just a given.

12. WSJ's news division USED to be reliable
their editorial page has always been shite, but the news page was pretty accurate.

8. I also read this at World Socialist Worker and was really bummed.
Then I saw the latest updates from other sources and decided it wasn't going to happen just yet. I'm encouraged by reports from those out getting signatures in recall districts yesterday. Haven't heard how it went today, but sounds like a LOT of folks showed up in Alberta Darling's district. Many friends going today to Portage.

We are planning to go next weekend when I'm being a lazy union worker and taking my two weekends off a month.

10. This was just a weak attempt at flushing out the location of the
Dems when one of them raised their head to deny it!

13. Not sure who to believe at this point.
Edited on Sun Mar-06-11 11:11 PM by FBaggins
Yes, the original source was the WSJ, but the claim that the comments were taken "out of context" is a stretch as well.

The quote was "We are now looking at returning to the state capitol and requiring the senators to take a vote and have them declare who they're with—the workers or the governor," - That wouldn't be possible if they aren't returning until collective bargaining is off the table.

Of course... we'll know soon enough. They'll either be back in the next several days... or they won't.
