Violent Imagery OK for Anti-Union Gov Walker
Wisconsin's Governor Wins, but Is He Now Dead Man Walker?The Wisconsin State Capitol had taken on an eerie quiet by late Friday. Gone were the throngs of protesters who had occupied its marble floors like it were a summer campground. The midnight honking of cars circling the white building had ceased. The chalk outlines around fake dead bodies etched with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's name remained in dismembered parts, not yet completely washed away by hoses. It's Time magazine, in partnership with CNN, so it doesn't cause grevious harm, like crosshairs on congressional districts do. Walker took up a dozen pens, one at a time, to sign into law a bill that not only takes away the ability of unions to bargain collectively over pensions and health care but also limits pay raises of public employees to the rate of inflation and ends automatic union dues collection by the state. Coup by Republicans, somehow conveying a sense of illigitmacy, as opposed to a victory for the voters of the Badger State. Posted by: Bobby 2011-03-15 |
