He didn't give an "address", he simply read the proclamation and presented it. Just as he did last year, and as other governors have done previously.

I did not disrespect her in any way. She, however, disrespected the memory and the event honoring MLK.

The disruption by a few, was hardly noticed. I watched it as it was on Livestream. Go read the article on Madison.com. I had posted the following from the Madison news.

The intolerant and hateful left continues in their childish behavior. Remember, they feel the right of free speech only applies to leftists - others should be shouted down.

Wlady & Eagle - Your lack of any historical knowledge' would be laughable if you didn't post on here as though you two were a couple of experts on all things. The idea that she embarrassed the guv is correct. The truth usually hurts when you know you have been a pointed out as a cowardly sneak. He couldn't be any more hypocritical than to give an address about MLK. Just a slimy act.

Wislady, you have again disrespected this woman by calling her names. You say no one cheered, yet in the article it says it drew applause. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean that everyone agrees with you, I know that's hard to imagine since you are always on the side of right and justice.

yada

If you think her behavior was appropriate for the occasion, I will let that speak for your character.

WI LADY - You need bigger and stronger glasses. I SAW & I HEARD the majority of people CHEERING LOUDLY as Margaret Rozga put SCOTT WALKER down big time at the tribute. Walker was leaning forward with his head down(u could see bald spot getting bigger)because he had been put in his place.

a n d - If MLK were alive he would have said the same thing to the face of Walker& his ALEC agenda. You are foolish to support him. Look at all of those connected to him in the FBI John Doe Investigation! WI LADY is STILL probably supporting Richard Nixon.

Not everyone was clapping...only Soggy Soglin. The rest of the people sitting there look quite embarrassed for what she was saying.

hey, I've got the guts to say it.. If MLK believed it was ok for public sector unions to negotiate a state and its people into bankruptcy with benefits, salaries and pensions absolutely unheard of in the private sector, then he was wrong.. period.. and anyone who truly believes in the rights of the worker should stand up equally for the right NOT to be FORCED to join a union. Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of relatives and associates of MLK being trotted out by both sides. We need to go back to thinking for ourselves, rather than let the culture of celebrity tell us what to think

It's rare to see someone honor him not just by their words, but their deeds. Kudos to Dr. Rozga.

"SCOTT WALKER REBUKED IN PERSON AT MLK DAY CEREMONY"
-----> Walker looked like he wanted to crawl under his chair as the people gave Margaret Rozga a STANDING OVATION for her TRUTHFUL comments on Mr "DIVIDE & CONQUER" Scott Walker. He deserved to hear all of the people cheering so he knows that his agenda will NOT be tolerated.

You should hope that they can be heard loudly and clearly.
I had hoped that someone might have noted that my previous post
was a "Cowardly" thing to say.
My conclusion is that I have hoped for far too much
from this pack.

Was Mr. King walking with strikers in 1968 that were legitimately getting screwed as many workers were back then and the unions did good work in standing up for them? As opposed to what transpired here over the past 2 years in which a dose of reality hit the public sector in regards to costs for their benefits? The reaction here was pure partisan, the proof in that is that the Governor of New York a democrat, proposed similar changes in that state, not a peep out of the unions, interesting. Even Jerry Browne in California has recently been proposing similar actions, more silence from the unions. The greatness of MLK was he didn’t play the partisan game in which many want to use his likeness for their own political gain now, which is shameful and disgusting. Anyone comparing 1968 unions to todays public sector unions in Wisconsin is comparing apples to oranges. I am quite certain those workers in 1968 were not getting guaranteed pensions with only a 5% contribution or having 88% of their Cadillac insurance plans paid for, not to mention the ability to retire at 55 years old and take on another job in the a different district complete with the same benefits, so spare me the use of this great mans image and legacy for the petty political whining that goes on now with unions that are more political arms than actual advocates for workers.

false dichotomy..."either you are part of the problem or part of the solution" I am sure many teachers voted for Walker...so if these teachers voted for Walker they are against worker rights?

gary.the people voted and our voices were heard loud and clear...

“It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.”

ONCE AGAIN WI - LADY Does NOT GET IT---> Sad Sad and even more SAD you are. DISRESPECTFUL & WRONG is SCOTT WALKER for his union busting "DIVIDE & CONQUER POLITICAL rhetoric that has taken away the rights of good hard working people. MARGARET ROZGA did what MANY OF US ARE STILL DOING. That is to challenge and fight Walker on all that he has done and his ALEC 2013 goals. This man is the worst Gov. we have ever had and sneaky.

Speaking of sneaky....

Wislady, this goes beyond your normal insanity. You are outraged because someone called out our anti-union governor during a MLK celebration? MLK was very public in his support of unions. Let's not forget why MLK was in Memphis in the first place, to support striking sanitation workers. How dare you take offense in MLK's name for some thing he would have supported. MLK himself would have said the same in person to Walker's if he was still alive. And before you start with your typical MLK was a registered republican, it's pretty obvious that both parties have drifted from their positions in the 1960's. MLK fought for workers, supported the 1st amendment, and wanted equality. You blame everyone else and think your way of thinking is the only way to prosperity.

Why was the rapper at the pre inaugural events pulled off the stage when he was expressing his "freedom of speech"?

Interesting that "freedom of speech" only seems to apply to those with left wing ideology.

Odd that the same group of posters
whom are outraged by any criticism
of their chosen ones feel that there
are no limits to what they can say
about anyone that they disagree with.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights
belong to all Americans.

Margaret, if you with your late husband (who was not very popular outside his group of socialists) desire a socialist way of life, move to France. They have plenty of room for you and your late husband’s followers. Good riddance to all of you. Your disrespect of our Governor and the privilege that was given to you to speak at our capital shows how pathetic you and your group can be.

Do you all understand, M.L.K. was in town to walk with striking public workers when he was killed?

Classy, the way that the so called followers of MLK have bastardized this great mans legacy for political gain is sad and at times disgusting.

She was given the honor of speaking at the memorial event, too bad she was so disrespectful of MLK, the Governor, and our Capitol.

Can't we all just get along ? It is beyond getting old !

cynical...I guess "integrity" and "liar" can be used loosely here if you are a democrat.

cynical...yeah, we will just overlook MLK's extra marital affairs and plagerizing his doctoral dissertation. I guess it depends on what the definition of is, is.

cynical...who is "for?"

Shame on the protesters? Walker has a TREMENDOUS amount of gall showing up at all. MLK was a great man who sacrificed his life for justice and human dignity. Walker is a sniveling liar who sacrificed his integrity for his own personal aggrandizement

wislady: Shame on her for telling the truth? Shame on for for believing Walkers lies.

Pastafarian, were those striking workers actually being screwed back in 1968 or were they having to kick in 5% to their retirement and pay 12% of their insurance costs? Were those striking workers able to retire at 55 years old and tak on a new job with the same benefits? Apples to oranges my friend.

So sad how the left continues this lie over stopping people from voting. Much like the lie they put forth as protecting human life and children when taking of gun control.

I don't approve of these actions.
I don't approve of the actions that Walker took either with basically outlawing some unions, advocating for denying people's right to vote and his selling out to the mining industry and threatening our environment.
A reminder for those who are so disgusted over these actions by the protestors (I don't approve of the actions by the protestors in the following article either):

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con...

SHAME on her.

"Rozga's comments drew cheers from the audience of hundreds in the Capitol."

There seems to be a discrepancy between the AP article of above, and the Wisconsin State Journal article below. (AP seems to be saying that all several hundred cheered at her inappropriate comments).

From Madison news...

"Several protesters booed Walker when he presented the state proclamation honoring King, and some turned their backs, but they were barely noticeable among the crowd."

SHAMEFUL and inappropriate actions from these people also.
