A holiday event, the lighting of the Christmas tree in the Capitol, was marred by protesters.
This is really sad.
It's Christmas!
Give us a break from the ugliness!
From the Wisconsin State Journal:
Protesters turned their backs to Gov. Scott Walker at Friday morning's Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the state Capitol.
Afterward, a small group of protesters hung a massive "recall" sign over the second floor railing in the rotunda with the help of rope and weighted plastic milk bottles.
Even the holidays are a little different at the Capitol this year.
The Capitol tree lighting ceremony is usually held during the noon hour, but this year the first ceremony was held at 8:15 a.m. and a second "gift of the tree celebration" was held at noon. Democrats said it was because the Walker administration hoped to avoid protesters, but Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie said the governor had previous engagements in Milwaukee.
"It was not to dodge protesters," Werwie said.
Several dozen protesters did show up at the early morning event, and some booed Walker when he was introduced, but they didn't cause any interruptions or disruptions. Some 200 people were at the tree lighting, including many members of the military who were being honored during the ceremony.
"They booed and protested a ceremony that honors our veterans and lights the Capitol Christmas tree. Every time you think they've crossed the line, it's like they invent a new line to cross," said Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau. "Then again, they're launching recall for the awful crime of balancing the budget, so the words 'recall' and 'common sense' haven't been in the same sentence for a while now."
These protesters are extremely selfish.
Here's video of Governor Scott Walker being introduced at the ceremony:
It looks like some of the protesters gave Walker the Hitler salute, in addition to booing.
How disgraceful!
If these jerks think they're going overturn the 2010 election, they're wrong.
They hound Walker at every public appearance, even at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, honoring military veterans.
I suppose they have no respect for the holiday or for the vets. I understand why they would disrupt the event without any concern for those in attendance. They may be hostile to religion and they may hate the military, like many Leftists.
This disrespectful behavior only energizes me to defeat them.
It's crazy to recall Walker for the sin of balancing the budget. See, that's a good thing for all of us and for generations to come.
