MacIver News Service, once again, leaves the mainstream media in the dust.

"Pink Dress Guy," Infamous Beer Thrower, Now Targeting Gov. Walker’s Children in Online Taunt
Miles Kristan, the infamous ‘Pink Dress Guy’ who has harassed media and threw a beer at a Wisconsin lawmaker at the height of pro-union protests earlier this year, is engaging in an online effort to draw attention to Governor Scott Walker’s two teenage sons.
On his Facebook page this Sunday, Kristan posted links to the personal pages of Alex and Matt Walker.
“[W]hats [sic] it like having the most hated dad in all of Wisconsin ??? this kid knows,” Kristan wrote as his status message late Sunday night. Kristan included a link to Matthew Walker’s Facebook page in his status message.
He then immediately followed by posting a status stating, “and this kid knows as well,” to which he linked Alex Walker’s Facebook page.
Matthew and Alex Walker are teenagers who both attend public high school in Wauwatosa.
This guy is sick. Kristan is really sick.
This sort of Internet harassment of Scott Walker's kids is disgusting.
What's it like being the most twisted, deranged Leftist in all of Wisconsin?
Remember, Kristan is the face of the Recall Walker movement.
What's disturbing is Kristan wanted to take his attacks on Walker up a notch. He knew that targeting Matt and Alex Walker would get him attention.
Is this about Kristan's ego and his thirst for getting noticed?
It's certainly part of it.
An unintended consequence of Kristan's stunt, however, is that it will make people more sympathetic toward Scott Walker and his family. Of course, nothing would bother the hardcore Walker haters and union thugs. There's no such thing as stooping too low. But for people with a well-developed conscience and sense of decency, I'm sure they find the methods of the Recall Walker effort to be troubling.
If they aren't troubled by this, then they need to do some self-reflection. They need to examine their values and consider their personal character.
Who would want to be associated with an effort that includes the likes of Kristan?
He's sure to turn off people by his use of such truly horrible tactics.

An aside: This incident illustrates what a double-edged sword the Internet is.
Great things can be accomplished via the Internet. Great harm can also be inflicted online.

Kristan was wrong for involving the Walker boys. Why on earth did MacIver find it necessary to post their info publicly? I mean, they have a wider reach by a factor of a thousand I'd guess.
They probably posted the screen shots as proof.
If they didn't, the Leftists would be claiming it was all fabricated.
Yes, the Walker sons are victims, but responsibility falls SOLELY on Kristan and the other harassers. Don't twist it.
