  1. Amazing how filming the same 1000 out of state, crazed union members from different angles, in different costumes, different lighting, etc. can actually look like many more people.

    I haven’t seen that kind of imaginable film editing since the final scene of Star Wars 4…you know in that scene where Luke and Han get awards in front of the supposed “throngs” for defeating the Death Star?

    The song lyrics are kinds catchy though…however I think that supplanting them with “this is what hypocrisy looks like” would fit better.

    1. Cranky much? Out of the tens of thousands of people filmed, from footage over weeks, which supposed 1,000 out of state protestors are you talking about? The AFL-CIO protestors from Monona, WI? The Electricians Union protestors from Stoughton, WI? The SEIU workers from Rock and Dane County and the nurses from around the state of Wisconsin? Which out of state protestors are you talking about? Can you point them out?

      The tune isn’t just catchy, it will be stuck in your head like a broken record when the democrats take back the senate on the 9th (and 16th). And that my friend is neither out of state voters nor in the words of Gov Walker “madison vs the rest of the state” if will be the rest of state state telling the governors mansion, enough is enough.

    2. Joseph, I just need to clarify something – are you trying to say that the protests in Madison earlier this year never numbered more than 1,000 people?

      I was there, and it was obvious to me that those crowds were far bigger than 1,000 people – or 10,000 people for that matter.

      1. I was there on two occasions, the first there were 70,000, the second there were double that. The official numbers for that crazy day never matched up. Those that tried to say 70,000 were nuts, 100,000 wasn’t close. 140,000 people is my guess, and it was and will be a great honor and memory in my life.

    1. That retort is just plain weird…scary-dangerous and weird. I hope you don’t advocate murder for everyone you disagree with…sheesh!

      1. It would be interesting to see the results if we could click a thumb-down button on these comments.

        Am I the only one who suspects that Joseph Devereaux would sport a large number of “likes” — preceded by a minus sign?

  2. The video is just shy of 10 min, but is very well put together and catchy. With the swarm of dirty tricks coming from the right these days, it’s easy to forget that there are recall elections happening just a few days from now in Wisconsin, which is a clear demonstration that while elections have consequences, so does ramming down a pro-corporate/ anti-worker agenda down the throats of a state whose not going to just sit there and take it. Try to tell them to vote on the wrong date all you want, your conservareps will soon be gone in these recall elections, and next year, so will the Imperial Walker.
