You’d think he’d focus his vitriol on the real enemy… you know… Scott Walker… Oh well, I guess not.
It’s hard to count the number of people who are only leaving behind the honest recall candidate, Kathleen Falk, for one that’s a hypocritical liar and higher-than-thou campaign expert, Tom Barrett, simply because they think he’s the only person who can win. One things for sure is that they have a short attention span. Time to pay attention. Time to do a little ciphering and figure out exactly what makes a Barrett supporter tick. Tom is orchestrating a systematic attack the worker, whether or not they’re in a bloody union.
I’m all for spirited, refined, well-informed debate on the issues. This ain’t it. The reality of politics is completely lost on the Falk supporters. Compromise is not in their creed. Like Tea Party extremists, they cannot see past their own victimization.
Listen up, kids: A Dane County Executive with no statewide campaign experience cannot win. I’m sorry. It sucks. I get it. But she just can’t win state wide in such a short campaign cycle. If this were a normal election with several months of campaign time, she could definitely make a go of it. She could probably even win. But with a 1 month campaign, there’s no way she can do it. No way.
Sly needs to come down off of Mount Dane and see how poorly Falk plays in the rest of the state.
The desperation of the Falkies is driving this short campaign into the gutter.
Well played, Sly… Well played.
I don’t think Sly is comparable to Vicki McKenna and the rest of the right-wing noise machine. He is capable (at least sometimes) of respecting opposing views. But I don’t think his overall approach helps the cause, as far as persuading people who don’t already have a strong opinion. I listen for the 1/2 hour or so with John Nichols each day, I enjoy the repoire between the two of them. And a few other regular guests I’ll stay tuned for. But otherwise I usually don’t listen for too long.
I haven’t a shred of respect for “Sly”. He’s uneducated, unmotivated, and unreliable. When a story came out in the Isthmus about me, he made me the topic of his show, and even referred to me as a “bitch”. When I called his producer to rebut the bullshit, his producer claimed they were running out of time and he’d get back to me. That didn’t happen. Sly isn’t interested in truth. He’s a jerk. Fuck him.
Sly is a jerk. I was the subject of a news story by Bill Lueders in the Isthmus, and Sly made me the topic of his show. He referred to me as a “bitch” at one point. When I called the show to protest and give him hell for not getting his facts straight, his producer said they were out of time and they would get back to me. They didn’t. Sly doesn’t give a crap about anyone but himself. What a brave guy—going after someone who works for a living. Asshole. Screw him and his lousy show.
Sorry for the double post. When I posted the first time, it appeared to have been erased. Excuse me.
