Which is absurd. Do you agree with that? That calling Wisconsin teachers, firefighters and policemen violent thugs is incorrect?

Nuance. It's too complicated for some.

The truth is apparently too complicated for you.

Do you think calling Wisconsin schoolteachers "union thugs" is accurate or even remotely fair? Yes or no? It's bullshiat, and you know it.

Calling kindergarten teachers "union thugs" is the deliberate ALEC language created to make neighbors justify taking pensions and raises out of the hands of their kids kindergarten teachers, their next-door neighbors.

"Hate those "union thugs", folks!" "Those freeloaders deserve to have their pensions and salaries cut!"

It's pathetic and sad to see people falsely calling Wisconsin public employees "union thugs".

Especially when during my entire lifetime, the word about teachers has been that they are, "woefully underpaid and overworked for the benefit they bring to our children and our society". But hey! Wisconsin is broke. Massive deficit. But still gotta give tax cuts to Walker's cronies to "create jobs" and "be a good business environment".

So have to get the money from somewhere ... hey! The evil union thugs! We'll take their money! They don't deserve their pensions!
