Why the Bradley-Prosser “Choking” Investigation is So Prolonged
.
Overheard at brunch in Madison, WI; retiree attorneys (Democrats) conversing…
.
Attorney 1: “I’ve worked with Prosser for years. My politics was completely different from his, entirely different. But he was always very calm and composed. My politics was on the other side, but when you met him on the street, he was always very pleasant.”
Attorney 2: “Well, every one of us has a veneer. Under pressure, the veneer cracks and the real person comes out. His veneer must have cracked.”
Attorney 1: “I never saw his veneer crack in 20 years.”
And yes, these were Democrats speaking.
.
The same conversation included a discussion of how the investigation on which Justice assaulted which Justice could not conclude with pointing a finger at either Justice– this would discredit the entire Wisconsin Supreme Court tremendously.
.
Yet, what are the options?
Pretend it did not happen?
Hope it goes away?
Censure the guilty Justice and let her/him continue judging after being proven a liar?
What about the witnesses who backed each Justice? They are Justices, too, and clearly some of them lied – should those supporting the guilty Justice also be censured?
.
Even if a “choking” did occur, what was Justice Bradley thinking when failing to use legal channels, but leaking this story to Madison’s liberal press, to Bill Lueders, of the Soros-funded Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism? Is this how the Supreme Court handles legal complaints? continue reading…
The Isthmuscover of May 13, 2011 (paper issue) very appropriately illustrates the lead story, The New Activists, with the image of a man blowing a vuvuzela, the Wisconsin State Capitol in the background. The vuvuzela is a long plastic African horn that has become famous for disrupting the Soccer World Cup games in South Africa and for driving players and fans mad. The behavior of Madison’s new activists WAS loud and obnoxious in recent months, and many DID bring vuvuzelas to disrupt and to inspire fear with their noise:

“Fans and competitors from outside South Africa often complain that today’s vuvuzela doesn’t inspire fear or amazement, just irritation, and that its sound is a loud, unwelcome and unpleasant distraction.” –ABC news
.
Less appropriately, the article INSIDE the Isthmus fails to mention the noise, disruption and unruliness of the new activists participating in the demonstrations against Governor Walker at the Madison Capitol in recent months. Neither vuvuzelas, drums, whistles, megaphones, nor angry chants and rude posters, all of which were ubiquitous during the downtown demonstrations, are mentioned in the Isthmus article. The Isthmus article focuses instead on describing four interesting individuals, their use of music, T-shirts, social media (twitter), and business groups, in implementing their protests.
These tactics are called Alinsky tactics, previously known as “dirty fighting.” Drowning out and ridiculing the opposition are common, as well as demonizing opponents, backtracking on promises, outright lying, death threats, and property damage.

Now that conservatives have been voted into office in Wisconsin, liberals seem more willing to use any means whatsoever to further their agenda against the wishes of the majority, to stymie the progress of democratic rule. This is where the REAL story is found, and Isthmus should write about THAT.
With the “new activists,” ridicule is the primary weapon, and conservative values are the primary target.

Hey, Isthmus — some news for you — the “new activists,” at every level, from citizen on the street to President, are using a great deal more than just music, T-shirts, twitter, and business groups to promote their agenda– they are violating all previous rules of civilized behavior and decency and are using Alinsky tactics which include ridicule, lying, and death threats. This is not activism, this is terrorism.
