SarahB1- the networks that are government run are the ones who spoon feed the libs by reporting only half truths. The O'Reilly factor had the video clips at the beginning of their show last evening. It was disguisting to watch. In case you didn't catch it (chuckle) you may be able to watch it on his website. I believe any patriotic American who doesn't find it repulsive needs to go to a banana republic and take up residency. Soon you won't need to travel any further than madison to do so. I always LOL when the madison protesters hold up "FOX LIES" signs. Most of these clowns have never watched FOX. If they had, they wouldn't be out there protesting like a pack of wild dogs.

Can anyone actually tell me if a recount means shoving the ballots through the same machines as on election day or do they actually go through the ballots by hand to count?
.
That makes a big difference in what the outcome might be. After what I've read the last week or two, I don't trust the scanner machines.

Janesvillefirst, The first part of your comment doesn't surprise me and as for the second part about this being a home video – it is Breitbart's MO. Look at his history. Short enough?

Why bother,it's over . The final results are perfect !

Yeah, if she had Walker's face people would wonder how Walker got so smart so suddenly.

The party is over. The fat lady has sung! Time to move on!

@myviews2: I don't generally read posts of that length. I skimmed it. But the video that was taken of the yoyo throwing the F bomb at the 14 yr old was a home video, not a Breitbart. What I've found to be amazing is that few, including the teachers that blog here have condemed these actions. There were teachers at the rally with their vuvuzela's.

Janesvillefirst – this behavior is despicable and I condemn it from all sides. Some people have no sense of right or wrong it seems.

However, looking a little closer.....
*
The link took me to BreitbartTV. Andrew Breitbard.....famous for selective film editing to create his ultra-right message – if you need facts, just create a situation and stitch some film together. Based on Breitbart's past, it is well within the realm of possibility that this guy is a plant. If you watch the film (if you can stomach this), you will see him avoided by everyone, no one spoke to him and only one person even looked at him except for the camera man. Even the one who initially looked at him seemed to try to ignore him after he heard what he was saying. The subject of the film looked right at the camera a few times. He did not yell insults and profanities while the camera man was describing the setup of the situation but when the camera man was done with the set up explanation, he began again. And if no one could hear anything being said because of the noise, how did the camera man find the guy in the first place and get such a clear video and sound shot of him?
*
And of course we all heard Breitbart himself on Saturday and the crass comments made to the protesters:
*
From Wikipedia:
On July 19, 2010, Breitbart posted two short videos showing excerpts of a speech by Shirley Sherrod at an NAACP fund raising dinner in March 2010. The videos ensuing controversy resulted in Sherrod being fired from the United States Department of Agriculture on July 19. After it became clear that the videos Breitbart posted omitted the point Sherrod was making, Breitbart posted the complete 40-minute video of the speech revealing the true meaning of her statements in context.
*
Breitbart was also involved in the 2009 ACORN video controversy. Hannah Giles posed as a prostitute seeking assistance while James O'Keefe portrayed her boyfriend, and clandestinely videotaped meetings with ACORN staff. Subsequent criminal investigations by the Brooklyn District Attorney's office and the California Attorney General found the videos were heavily edited in an attempt to make ACORN's responses "appear more sinister", and contributed to the group's demise

vatoloco said, "Amazing how many of the protesters in Madison were young college people who have probably never lifted a broom."
-
Speaking of brooms... Based on the ignorance and inaccurate comments I see many conservatives making here, it's obvious those college kids who have never lifted a broom have many times the common sense and intellect of the witches on their brooms.

Disclaimer: I am not a witch!

janesvillefirst... thnx for the link. This just shows how low some thugs will go, to verbally attack a 14 year old child! Could this jerk possibly be a teacher? That really creeps me out! Disgusting.

Gosh kaysbrew, are you constantly blabbering partisan, dogmatic, narrow-minded rhetoric, or do you save that only for the comment section of the Gazette?
-
I don’t know about you grandys, but I think most attorneys would consider winning an election to sit on the Wisconsin Supreme Court a “life altering” event. There is a possibility that, after a recount, Ms. Kloppenburg could be declared the winner.

SarahB - I'm glad to hear that. With the clerk in Waukesha County not using the same election software as the rest of the state, it makes all elections suspect not just this one. Even if Prosser ends up winning after a recount, that needs to be corrected before the presidential election next year.

Nothing to hide - that's your department

"Go for it....Please!"
-
I'm so happy you agree with me kaysbrew!

Let me hold your hand and draw you a picture P-red. Left wing Huffington's Brookfield Patch had the Brookfield votes. City of Brookfield had them and the AP didn't - big deal! AP is not official. 7316 vote Prosser victory is official and no Wisconsin recount in history amounted to more then 650or so votes.
a Recount now is an abuse and waste of tax payers money and will absolutely help us get stronger in 2012. Go for it....Please!

Gee grandys618, I realize that thoughtful deliberation is not something you do very often, if ever, but others find it helpful, especially when making possibly life-altering decisions. Ms. Kloppenburg lost by a margin of 0.488 percent. Basically she lost by the number of votes that were temporarily “lost” by Kathy Nickolaus, an ardent supporter of the GOP. With all the trouble Ms. Nickolaus has had in manufacturing votes, um oops, I meant counting votes, I hope Ms. Kloppenburg does ask for a recount just to see how many ballots that were cast in Waukesha County would be deemed questionable. I’m sure kaysbrew would agree if Mr. Prosser had lost by the same margin.

Here is the exact link I was trying to point you to in my last post.

Fox news was just posting it - the video potty mouth non-Americans Democrats speak for itself.

I go that website and it says "You've lost your way!" - as soon as I saw foxnews I assumed that.

Thanks kaysbrew for posting this link. I'm going to repost it a few more times here and other places. This is the face of the left and the Madison Fire Department "Cadets" union. They were the sponsors of the rally. All of the members own this until one or more who have the stones, come out and denounce it. There are other videos out there of the crowd booing during the national anthem.
These hose jockeys couldn't carry a hand pump for a real firefighter.

What could she possibly still be contemplating?
Bizzare........

Very simple, as alluded to in other comments below: Ms. Kloppenberg is clearly qualified to serve as a Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, and being so she used her judgement skills to define victory as an unofficial margin of 200 votes. According to her logic, there is no grounds for a recount when the official tally is a margin of over 7000 votes.

No ideas then - I'll stop expecting you SarahB1 to have any then. I'll stop asking you to give me why you asked me to provide and did.

Sara, I've already had counseling. That's why I think like I do. As my friend always said, "If you aren't a liberal at age 20, you don't have a heart and if you aren't conservative by age 40, you don't have a head".

Sara, You need counseling.

SarahB1 - if you are comparing one guy that has had enough to the insane behavior of the left - you have already lost this fight. Desperation is all I see you have left.

SarahB1 - I'm still waiting for your three brilliant ideas. Go ask mouse to help you come up with those. Have Kloppenburg help, shes good at rushing to conclusion.

I could have told her to go back to her birth place of Kenya....oh wait.....
I thought you, mouse, would be on your way to see your socialist friends in Greece...oh wait, they are out of other people's money. Well, how about Portugal...oh wait they are out of money now too... England is privatizing so you can't go there... How about the communist country of China -just don't get run over by a tank. Mice can often get overlooked.

Why don't we all line up on sides at Riverside Park and throw dog crap at each other? It's about the same as takes place on these threads. Sheesh!

mouse taughts again. where is a decent liberal when you need one???

FACE OF DEMOCRATS - NON AMERICANS WHO BOO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND SHOUT PROFANITY AT A 14 YEAR OLD. CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATS, YOU'VE PROVED MY POINT!!!

The maturity of lefties like yourself fully on display here for all to see Janesvillean.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwIejLk_n...

Make no mistake the support for the unions is coming from DC and union headquarters. I for one am proud of Wisconsin for going back to the polls and rejecting the union stranglehold on WI taxpayers and their wallets. Every battle not a victory? What was the last "victory" you had? Maryann Sumi? How long do you think we will let that charade go on? If its battles you want, battles we will give you. Good luck.

I am not surprised by the schoolyard taunts here -- the right rarely shows much maturity in these matters. Certainly, a recount has only a slight chance of overturning a lead as great as the "corrected" vote count, but it is the legal right of the candidate to request one.
.
The opposition to the Walker blitz overturning decades of rights is not "led" from the top, it is fueled by the anger of ordinary people, and this is a disappointment, surely even a setback, but it doesn't change the recall efforts or the legal strategy. Nobody expected any of this to be easy, as the WMC, AFP, ALEC, and the other groups backing this anti-union attack with millions of out of state dollars are organized and prepared for battle. In fact, they've been working on this for years. We will need to be strong to overcome this, and we expect that not every battle will be a victory.
.
So call your little fourth-grade names, kids, but you ain't seen nothing yet.

I'M MELTING OH NO I'M MELTING!

The only reason for dragging this out (Milwaukee County canvas, upcoming recount, Sumi delay, etc) is to keep the liberal sheep in step. Without a controversy, they're disengaged. Their leaders need to keep them together if they're going to try to salvage anything out of this mess they have made.

mouse - uncivil personal attack once again.
say something productive.
Go join your f bomb throwing, capitol trashing, filthy sign and potty mouthed leftist socialist friends. Better yet, go to a socialist country and come back and appreciate the conservative moment.

grandys618 - not thats funny!!!

Or a recount would expose the corruption in Waukesha County elections office, by offering the first time to compare the numbers with actual hand counted ballots.

kaysbrew, The left is unhinged after this loss. Unhinged! They are speechless and really have no idea what to do next. Nothing they do at this point surprises me.

I don't believe any recount in Wisconsin history has amounted to more than a 650 vote change. A recount would be another lame attempt by the left to abuse taxpayers. This "judgement" call should be easy for anyone who has good judgement and common sense.
