THEYRE ALL FUCKING WACKOS

A couple of days ago, Alex Seitz-Wald at Think Progress posted about disgraced racist pig Mark Williams, formerly of the astroturf group Tea Party Express, now with Tea Party Nation. TPN sent an e-mail to its members sharing an agit-prop suggestion from Williams:

Williams lays out a highly dishonest and fairly involved scheme to have “plants” sign up on the SEIU website to be organizers for an upcoming rally, dress up in SEIU shirts, and to then make outrageous comments to reporters covering the events in order to “make the gathering look as greedy and goonish as we know that it is”

At the time, I didn't think this was very important but it turns out Gov. Scott Walker isn't much different from Mark Williams. Ian Murphy, the editor of the Buffalo Beast, called Gov. Walker and pretended to be David Koch. Here's a snippet:

Koch: We’ll back you any way we can. What we were thinking about the crowd was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.

Walker: You know, well, the only problem with that —because we thought about that. The problem—the, my only gut reaction to that is right now the lawmakers I’ve talked to have just completely had it with them, the public is not really fond of this…[explains that planting troublemakers may not work.] My only fear would be if there’s a ruckus caused is that maybe the governor has to settle to solve all these problems…[something about '60s liberals.]…Let ‘em protest all they want…Sooner or later the media stops finding it interesting.

Much more disturbing to me is the tweet by Jeffrey Cox, a deputy attorney general for Indiana. He wanted riot police in Wisconsin to use "live ammunition." Thanx to Mother Jones, Cox has been fired. (h/t George Zornick at Think Progress)

Some folks may remember the Kent State murders in 1970:
