Walker’s showdown over collective bargaining has created a different political dynamic than the kinds viewed by political observers in recent years. For the first time in a long time, Democratic allies are the ones surrendering the high road in the debate by comparing the supremely bland Mr. Walker to murderous tyrants like Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Hosni Mubarak. Also seen in the pro-union crowds was a sign accusing Walker of being a rapist and another painting a gun target over his face.
Like deranged Republicans who concocted conspiracy theories around birth certificates and imagined death panels, these Wisconsin Democrats played into their opponents’ hand. Walker responded to these crazed insults by appearing to be about as temperamentally threatening as Fred McMurray in “My Three Sons."

Re: GOP Gets Dose of 'Wisconsin Nice'
I didn't listen to Obama yesterday, but I hear he stated that public employees should not be "villified" in this debate in Wisconsin. Was he referring to the publicly-elected governor of Wisconsin?

Some of us CS'ers get "Wisconsin Nice" on a daily basis.
