'Wife's a F---ing Whore' - Protester to Joel Kleefisch

Last night after Governor Scott Walker delivered the State of the State address at the Capitol, Rep. Joel Kleefisch, husband of Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, was verbally assaulted by Leftist/Democrat/union protesters.

From the Capital Times:

A couple hundred people gathered at the Capitol Wednesday night for Gov. Scott Walker's State of the State speech. But the last thing they wanted to do was to actually hear it.

They were there to drown it out, with shouting, with singing, with profanity, and even with a poorly played sousaphone. And, they said, with a recall that will get Walker off the podium for good.

"We want to be really loud so they can hear us on TV," said Harriet Rowan, who was using her cellphone to tweet updates to followers. The organizers got around new Department of Administration rules restricting protests in the Capitol -- unveiled in December but not yet completely enforced -- by organizing via Twitter.

...The best part of the speech for many in this crowd was when it was over and politicians filed out.

"There's a live one!" someone shouted as Rep. Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc (also Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch's husband), strode past on his way to the bathroom.

"Shame!" shouted Jeremy Ryan, the executive director of a protest group called Defending Wisconsin.

As Kleefisch passed the crowd again later, a young woman taunted him. "Your wife's a f--- whore!" she screamed.

A man from Nebraska observing the scene was disgusted. "It's so disrespectful," he said. "We don't do this in Nebraska." He refused to give his name but said he was in town for what he described as a political convention.

This is beyond disrespectful.

It's a disgrace, an absolute disgrace.

Yes, it's shameful, as in "SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME."

There's no defending this sort of vile behavior.

I completely disagree with Tom Barrett politically. Without question, I think he should be voted out of office, not in a recall election, but when he's up for reelection. I think Barrett has been a disaster for Milwaukee. He would be a disaster for the state.

I've seen Barrett in public places. I've seen him walking around at Summerfest and the ethnic festivals.

I would NEVER start screaming at him. I would NEVER yell, "Your wife's a f---ing whore." I wouldn't whisper something like that. I wouldn't say it at all. I wouldn't think it.

I would NEVER post on Facebook, "Tom Barrett must die." I wouldn't say it and I wouldn't think it.

Such behavior is completely inexcusable. The lack of civility is shocking. Only a sociopath would act out in such a disgusting manner.

The public unions and other Scott Walker haters are doing nothing to help their cause by acting like thugs, truly despicable thugs.
