Ann Althouse’s husband took these photos after the professional “educators” finished swarming the Wisconsin state capitol building today. Evidently they were so exhausted from a day of hanging from the rafters, they just didn’t have the strength to either properly dispose of their signs or carry them home. Pigs. And this is what passes for Wisconsin’s teachers? Pigs. Pigs. Pigs.

quick thought.. this kind of explosive protest does not happen in an instant. These people have been ready for this, planning for this, and have a strategy and tactics to execute. Getting the legislators out of town is a part of that.
This day, I’d say, makes Glenn Beck right and a whole bunch of naysayers wrong. Leftists are most definitely busily planning this kind of thing, in concert, coast to coast and all over the world, and their plan is long term and comprehensive. They do not intend for our country to revert to anything like constitutional conservatism and limited government.
and they do NOT intend to relinquish any outsized shares of the pie they might have grabbed off the table over the years.
Makes me wish we had people who weren’t already WORKING who could respond this quickly. I know we can out-protest them ten to one on any day– but only saturdays and sundays, right?
Because we’re too busy paying the taxes they leech off of.
The new politicians who are leading the way on this are to be commended. those angry mobs have already been to the State Senate majority leader’s HOME up there.
This is the kind of day that makes me glad that millions of us are armed.

Not only is it being planned well in advance, but it’s being planned by the “Organizing for America” arm of the DNC, which is described in Politico as being the remnants of the 2008 Obama campaign. So really, it was founded by Obama, and is now being used against the governor of Wisconsin.
It should also be pointed out that NO ONE is losing their job, they’re simply being asked to pay for half of their pension cost and 12.6 of their health care coverage. The horror! Imagine if there were actual CUTS and LAYOFFS here. It’s also pathetic to see these kids used as pawns, dragged to these protests with no clue as to what they’re actually protesting. They’ve just been told GOVERNOR = BAD.
And you’re right, Beck and a few others have been predicting this kind of thing for a long time. Think American leftists haven’t been inspired by Egypt? (I’ve been disturbed by some of the “revolution” rhetoric I’ve seen even from people I know.)
Here’s the Politico piece that explains the OfA:

What a fine example those state workers in Wisconsin are to their young students and the rest of the country. Pitching a fit, a temper tantrum like two year olds whose Mommy won’t give them the candy they want.
Useful idiots. Whipped into a froth and frenzy by Obama’s union thug pals.
What’s wrong with these people? Are they really that stupid? That craven? That greedy? That immature? Did they never learn that throwing oneself on the floor kicking and screaming is not only unacceptable, it will not be tolerated?
Watching these shouting ninnies teeming through the Madison capitol, I am ashamed that they are my fellow Americans.
Just like the Egyptian protesters in Tahrir Square last week, they are mindless orcs hooked on the adrenaline rush of mob mentality. Nearly orgasmic as they play with fire to the media cameras.
At least one Wisconsin state worker has the sense to see through this charade, this insurrection fueled by the communist unionists, and she spells it out quite clearly. From reader “Proud 5th Column Member in Wisconsin” who wrote to Michelle Malkin:
“… there are a significant number of conservative full time state employees in Wisconsin that support Scott Walker, but our voices are not heard and certainly not covered in the press. Many of us are afraid to get too public for fear of personal attacks at work and at home. Besides, it would not be reported or covered by the insanely liberal press in Madison, WI anyway. The only voice we have in Madison is Vicki McKenna on the AM radio, a conservative talk show host of some fame in the Madison area. We are jokingly calling ourselves The 5th Column like the counter insurgents on the “V” TV show.
The unions are scared to death they will lose their gravy train, you are forced to join the union upon state employment as a condition of employment, what is more tyrannical than that? So, now, the workers would be able to CHOOSE to join the union or not, and many will leave it. The rest will have to cut an actual check to the union each month, instead of having it garnished from their check, and the union knows people will get tired of that. THAT is what this is really about.
Our benefit package in WI is almost 2nd to none in the US for state workers, this is a minor sacrifice when all is said and done.
Under our former Democratic Governor, we had to take a 3% paycut the last two years in the form of mandatory furloughs.
Walker intends to stop that, so we could regain that money, couple that with union dues we get back for quitting the union and it’s nearly a wash on the slight increase in pension and health care costs. That proves this is not about those changes, but about a political agenda by the left and the unions being threatened.
Stick to your guns, Governor Scott Walker. Let them know their tantrums will not get them the candy they want.
And as for the state’s senate democrats who have skipped town to avoid voting on the measure? Fire the cowards.

Headlines…
CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT SUBJECTED TO ‘BRUTAL AND SUSTAINED SEXUAL ASSAULT’ IN EGYPT
Think the propagandists that masquerade as news organizations will report what’s really happening now that one of their own got the blank beat out of her and was “sexually assaulted” (read: raped) several times?
No, I didn’t think so either.
OBAMA: WIS. BUDGET MEASURES ARE AN ‘ASSAULT ON UNIONS’
After Obama said he wasn‘t really paying attention he went on to say the Wisconsin governor’s emergency budget proposal is an “assault on unions”. I guess we can expect the Union Organizer in Chief to side with the unions — he’s so cozy with them. The SEIU, donated $27.8 million to Obama’s 2008 campaign. In turn, three local chapters of that union have received Obamacare waivers.
BACHMANN TALKS 2012 RUN, ‘SOCIAL ENGINEERING,’ & BYPASSES OBAMA CITIZENSHIP
Why don’t you ask him? ABC Morning America’s George Stephanopolous threw the “birther” question at Rep. Michele Bachmann. How to respond? ”Well, George, why don’t you ask the President? He’s the guy with the birth certificate, the passports, the college transcripts., the numerous social security numbers. And when you get an answer, you can let us all know.”

From the pages of Trevor Loudon’s New Zeal (as discussed this morning on Glenn Beck’s radio show)
The Communist Party USA has re-issued its annual call for “African-Americans” to join the Party.
An Invitation to African Americans from the Communist Party
Join the Party of change, struggle and commitment to freedom and equality, the Communist party USA.
Our country is facing its greatest crisis since the 1930s. At the same time, the moment is filled with great hope and possibility. The crisis was caused by capitalism and Wall Street greed. The solution to it is being born in today’s unprecedented mass movement for change.
Capitalism breeds racism, unemployment and war, but it also creates the possibility for solving these problems, but not without struggle involving millions of working-class people. The Communist Party understands this and has a program that calls for fundamentally transforming our society and using its great wealth to meet human needs.
Today we believe that all people Black, Latino, Native American, Asian and white must unite and fight for an economic recovery that puts peoples needs before corporate greed. This recovery must be one that places affirmative action and good paying union jobs at its center.
Today, the CPUSA is involved at the grass roots in the fight to bail out Main Street, not Wall Street. We are also involved in the fight to end the war in Iraq, and in the movement for national health care, ending immigrant bashing, police violence and anti-LGBT hatred.
A little “racist’ don’t you think?
