Dave Hansen Wins Recall

Dave Hansen, one of the Democrat senators who fled the state and ran to Illinois to avoid permitting the Wisconsin legistlative branch of government to function, has been rewarded.

He retains a seat in the State Senate.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Democratic state Sen. Dave Hansen of Green Bay was the first of nine state senators to face a final recall election, and he easily survived Tuesday.

Hansen won a lopsided victory over his Republican challenger, wind farm developer David VanderLeest of Green Bay, against whom Democrats and their allies have been hammering away on his personal and legal problems.

Watch Hansen and his comrades appear on Ed Schultz's show.

Nauseating.

This is a long, torturous video clip. The Dems appear at 3:15.

DAVE HANSEN: I just wanted to say that as a former public employee I really appreciated what labor organizations did for me. I drove a truck for the city of Green Bay sanitation before I became a state senator. And without that we wouldn't have had any pay or any benefits, and that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to remove ANY right to bargain, negotiate, and remove collective bargaining that's been in place for 50 years. It is a sad, sad day, and it's ridiculous what those 18 Republican senators did today. And our Governor should be ashamed of himself.

Good grief.

Hansen retains his seat. That's not an upset given his opponent.

If I were a union hack/Dem, I wouldn't get too cocky.

Jonathan Steitz Wins Primary

Jonathan Steitz will take on AWOL Sen. Robert Wirch in the August 16 recall election.

From FOX 6 News:

Attorney Jonathan Steitz has won a Republican primary in a Wisconsin recall election, and now advances to challenge Democratic state Sen. Robert Wirch next month.

Steitz has 64 percent of Tuesday's vote, with 73 percent of precincts reporting. He defeated Fred Ekornaas,a retired Kenosha County sheriff and current county board vice chairman.

 

Robert Wirch, like his fellow AWOL Democrat senators, revealed that he's not fit to serve in the state legislature.

The first requirement: SHOW UP AND DO YOUR JOB.

Wirch, of course, did not. He ran to Illinois, refusing to fulfill his duty to represent his constituents.

Instead, he did the bidding of Big Labor, and was funded by national Leftist groups.

Back in March, while appearing on MSNBC with the vulgar and crazed and deranged and disgraced Ed Schultz, Wirch compared the passage of the Budget Repair Bill to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

ROBERT WIRCH: This is a day of infamy for Wisconsin workers. Tomorrow, they're second class citizens thanks to the Republicans who took that terrible vote tonight.

Video here.

Very inappropriate.

Wirch has shown he doesn't deserve the privilege of representing the people of the 22nd Senate District.

Jonathan Steitz is by far the superior candidate.

Yikes.

This one gets really rough.

So much for liberals occupying the moral highground.

This guy is a disgrace to his Leftist comrades.

Maybe MSNBC will book him for an interview.

He should have CC'd Ed Schultz.

Ed Schultz: Laura Ingraham, 'Slut'

Yes, those Leftists are so civil. They are beyond reproach.

Sure.

On his syndicated radio show, MSNBC host Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a "Right-wing slut."

Audio from The Daily Caller, via Brian Maloney, The Radio Equalizer:



Transcript

ED SCHULTZ (02:52): And what do the Republicans thinking about? They're not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They're just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they're talking about, like this right-wing slut, what's her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she's a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama's doing it, they're working him over.

Why does MSNBC give someone like Ed Schultz, good buddy of Chris Larson, a platform?

There's a problem when an outlet like MSNBC is willing to tolerate its hosts denigrating women like that.

Does MSNBC really want Ed Schultz to be on its team?

Do Brian Williams and NBC News approve of the MSNBC extremists dragging down the credibility of the NBC News brand?

I guess it doesn't matter.

NBC News lost credibility long ago.

UPDATE: MSNBC suspends Schultz for calling Ingraham a 'slut'

MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz, host of the “The Ed Show,” for one week without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his syndicated radio program Tuesday.

“Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” MSNBC said in a statement.

MSNBC said Schultz will address the remarks on his show Wednesday night, and begin his leave immediately afterward. He will return on June 6th.

“MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program,” MSNBC said.

MSNBC should fire Schultz.

Why would management want him to be one the main faces of the network?

MSNBC/NBC News must get its act together.

Time to purge.

Trump: Racist

MSNBC pounded a message on Tuesday: Donald Trump is a racist. The Tea Party and Republicans are racist.

On Lawrence O'Donnell's The Last Word, PBS host Tavis Smiley declared that the 2012 presidential race would be the most racist in the nation's history, thanks to the Tea Party and Trump.

Video and transcript, from NewsBusters:



Transcript

TAVIS SMILEY, PBS: I said over a year ago that this was going to be, this presidential race, Lawrence, was going to be the ugliest, the nastiest, the most divisive, and the most racist, the most racist, in the history of this republic. I did not know that that race to the bottom would begin so quickly. One can disagree with the Tea Party…

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL, HOST: Why did you see this coming?

SMILEY: I saw it coming because it’s pretty clear given how the Tea Party has acted, given that Donald Trump is now playing to the worst in the Tea Party, that this would be possible. I don’t want to demonize or cast aspersions on the Tea Party broadly. I believe that there’s a certain angst that many people in that entity feel, and I share that angst about government. I don’t believe that it’s the solution to reduce government.

Government does have a role to play. We’ve got to figure out, we can figure out and debate what that role is, but there have been semantics they’ve engaged in that made it clear to me: showing up at rallies with guns, and the Secret Service, you know, working overtime to protect this president. More threats against his life than any president in the history of the nation, indeed, presidents combined.

So the evidence is pretty clear that they would do anything and say anything in order to make sure he does not get reelected.

When in doubt, whip out the race card.

MSNBC stuck with its "Trump is a racist" theme after O'Donnell's show ended.

The crazed Ed Schultz, host of MSNBC's Ed Show, said, "I think Donald Trump is a racist."

Here's the video and transcript, also from NewsBusters:



Transcript

ED SCHULTZ: You mean to tell me that [Trump’s] questioning the academic prowess of one of the smartest presidents we’ve ever had? Mr. Trump, when you start getting your advice from all of the special, special Republican advisers that we’ve seen step to the plate in the past instead of Jerome Corsi. Dude, you could do better than that.

This is what the Republican Party stands for, though: racism. I think Donald Trump is a racist.

MSNBC and its radical Leftist hosts and guests are a disgrace.

Don't they have a conscience or any concern about the consequences of their ugly, irresponsible rhetoric?

Apparently not.

The Republican Party does not stand for racism. The Tea Party isn't about racism. From what I've seen, Trump is not a racist.

Good grief.

The band of extreme Leftists at MSNBC really have done so much damage to the NBC News brand, but they keep plugging away, peddling their propaganda.

Thankfully, MSNBC languishes in the ratings cellar. Americans reject it.
