Wisconsin Unions Disrupt Special Olympics Ceremony

Another words they don't want this to undermine the Special Olympics so they ignore the scumbags

IN OTHER words are not necessary because we have the actual words of the special olympics officials:
Rachel Grant, a spokeswoman for the Special Olympics, said officials were nervous when the zombie protesters first arrived, but they turned out to be peaceful.

"We were all a little bit on edge, but it turned out for the best," Grant said. "Nothing was disruptive at all."

Kelly Kloepping, another Special Olympics official, said the protesters were respectful and did not diminish the excitement the Special Olympians felt about being in Madison to meet Walker and other leaders.

"We feel it's really about the athletes," Kloepping said. "We knew the protesters were there, but they were respectful of our athletes."

Retards crashed a Special Olymipics ceremony. You support them. Sad. But hey...as long as you believe in their cause...right? So...where is the next Westboro protest going to be held? Can we expect to see you there? Or will you just post in their defense?
 
The zombie protesters were students, there was no disruption. The thread is based on bigotry and falsehood.

its demeaning of the special olympic participants that you refer to the wisconsin governor in this manner

You support them. Sad.
then you are opposed to free speech. what other rights do you find inappropriate?

But hey...as long as you believe in their cause...right?
being an advocate of free speech, and an opponent of the republican approved 'free speech' zones appears to get under your skin. pity. but then you are a member of the party of fear. be afraid; be very afraid

So...where is the next Westboro protest going to be held?
i don't know, but i support their right to assembly and free speech
appears you and yours only approve of those things when the assembled believe as you do
pity
Can we expect to see you there?
if they protested nearby, you likely would see me. counter protesting. which our rights also protect. unlike you, i do not seek the ability to quash the arguments of those who believe differently than i. they are entitled to voice their opinions, no matter how mean or how stupid
Or will you just post in their defense?
no defense of their position but an absolute defense of their ability to voice their misbegotten beliefs ... not unlike supporting the rights of the kkk, teabaggers or neocons to voice their own forms of inanity
 
Rights its like they caused this huge commotion... Not!



Where is your proof this was Union organized?

They were union protestor from another event. Surprise the union denies they were part of this even though it was their people


Protest organizers disavow Special Olympics demonstration - JSOnline.mobi

Matt Guidry, a spokesman for the United Council of University of Wisconsin Students, which organized the Vos protest, said his group did not back the demonstration during the noon-hour Special Olympics ceremony attended by Walker, though some of the same zombie demonstrators were involved.

"That was not associated with anything that United Council was doing," Guidry said. "That doesn't make us look that good."

Guidry said the intent of the "die-in" in Vos' office was to raise awareness about legislation requiring voters to show photo IDs at the polls and separate issues in the state budget such as a decision by Republicans to turn down federal money for increasing Internet broadband access.

What do you expect? Should they lower themselves to the protestors standards?

again, your proof that a union was involved? i know , i am asking alot, just easier to smear and run.
 
What do you expect?
that they would respond truthfully. there is no reason to believe that they did not

Should they lower themselves to the protestors standards?
only in your world do we find telling the truth is made the equivalent of having low standards

By all means...continue to support Westboro and their constitutional right to promote their anti-gay mesage at funerals. Its replusive and inappropriate as hell...but hey man...you are within your rights.

Just because you CAN...doesnt make you NOT a douchebag. Someone should pass that message on to Phelps...and the retards that think it is OK to use a Special Olympics ceremony to promote your cause. Same kind of scum.

That article you posted as evidence it seemed like said nothing it was the Unions. It just stated that the student organization did not organize it but many students in the organization took part of the protest...
So where is this proof that it was Union organized?
Oh wait you have NONE.

Matt Guidry, a spokesman for the United Council of University of Wisconsin Students, which organized the Vos protest, said his group did not back the demonstration during the noon-hour Special Olympics ceremony attended by Walker, though some of the same zombie demonstrators were involved.
Thank you for proving my point.

"That was not associated with anything that United Council was doing," Guidry said. "That doesn't make us look that good."
And again.

Guidry said the intent of the "die-in" in Vos' office was to raise awareness about legislation requiring voters to show photo IDs at the polls and separate issues in the state budget such as a decision by Republicans to turn down federal money for increasing Internet broadband access.

Soo all this makes this "union organized" how???
Sounds like were going back to the "Obama is a socialist thread".
 
that they would respond truthfully. there is no reason to believe that they did not


only in your world do we find telling the truth is made the equivalent of having low standards


What truth the unions know no truth. The Special Olympics only want peace they allowed the protestors even though they were disrespected

The protestors were from the union. Of course they deny it when public opinion shows it was a bad idea
 
Look at the link I just posted

here is the title of the link you posted:

Yes the union denies it yet they were union protestors at another event so they are union protestors

Why would we believe the unions when they lie all the time

so..... if it's not unions, then we can all agree it was crude, and poorly done.


....but if it is unions then somehow the nature of the offense is changed by it's perpetrator.
