“Fox’s Shep Smith: Pretending Wisconsin Is About A Fiscal Crisis Is ‘Malarkey'”

Sure, Shep. And there were cannibals in the SuperDome because President Bush fired up the weather weapon and flooded New Orleans so that he could kill darkies by the score.

Dick.

Let me clue you in here, you vapid hair-do: the “collective bargaining” being “busted” here is a money-laundering scheme that has union leaders taking money from the taxpayers that the taxpayers can ill afford (and can’t themselves “bargain” on), giving it to teachers in raises and benefits, collecting it back in forced union dues, and then funneling that money back to the Democrat party at a rate of 96% of their political contributions.

How the Koch brothers benefit from tax payers being able to hold onto their own money and spend it as they see fit — rather than hand it over to public sector employees — is the way every business benefits: more disposable income fuels the economy.

Who is better for the economy, Shep? Union leaders, who have bought a political party? Or private sector business people, who employ people, create jobs, and advance industry?

That was a rhetorical question by the way. Dick.

    you forgot the unions cut for providing “health care”

  2. bh says:

    What’s remarkable about this is how little they seem to have thought through their own analogies. Who’s the greedy fat cat trying to reduce labor costs in this scenario? The taxpayer, who makes less money in a year than their own employees.

    If any ruthless capitalist is actually making less in a year than his poor downtrodden wage slaves… he’s doing it wrong. Really wrong.

    I’ll see the dick and raise a dumbass.

  3. Abe Froman says:

    Lefties have so many cartoons in their head playing at once that catching on to the self-evident contradictions would cause their heads to explode, bh.

  4. JD says:

    Sheep played the Koch Brothers card?! Notice that is a new trend for the leftists, but they get a little tingly over Soros, or Trumka having daily calls to the White House, and weekly visits. They are pure.

  5. Bob Reed says:

    I don’t pay attention to Shep the walking hairdo; and haven’t for years. I don’t know why Fox gives this clown the credibility of broadcast air time.

  6. newrouter says:

    i find shemp smith to be a curly joe type of stooge

  7. McGehee says:

    I actually once considered Shemp watchable, but Katrina drove the last nail into the coffin of that opinion. I’d call him a putz, but I have too much respect for putzes.

  8. McGehee says:

    Putzim?

    What is the correct plural for putz, anyway?

  9. Abe Froman says:

    I never feel like I’m watching real news when I see Shepherd Smith. He belongs hosting EXTRA or Hollywood Tonight.

    uh oh, time to dust off the poem I composed.

    Comment by lee bh on 11/18/08 @ 6:25 pm #

    ’twas the start of the resumption
    of the second gulf war
    The UN couldn’t say shit
    20,000 brave americans done for

    congress stood bravely giving
    authorization for hostilities to begin
    everyone was all for it
    that’s when shep came in

    be brave, be strong
    is what he advised us to do
    i watched him all the time
    and not all because of Lori Dhue

    then came the time of mission complete
    the left bravely chose another way
    it’s about gitmo, murderous marines and abu gurab
    and the brave dems bravely counseled, “run away!”

    then came katrina, cannibals and all
    that’s when our boy shep lost it
    never closer to tears was anyone
    upon discovering themselves in the shit

    so now shep’s passionate, over whatever pretext
    fame can be made with today’s juiciest bone
    not being outlaw, he can’t pull it off
    but i do like his tone

  11. newrouter says:

    There is a Wisconsin talking point that will not die: Everything was fine until Scott Walker got some business-incentive tax cuts passed. I just heard it from Erica Williams of the Center for American Progress. Rachel Maddow has trafficked in this nonsense, as have some more respectable lefty types.

    Help an English major out, here: How exactly do $137 million in tax cuts cause a $3.6 billion deficit in two years? I am dying to know.

    Those tax cuts may or may not be a good idea; I am generally skeptical of using special tax breaks as a tool of economic development. (Low general taxes, a simple tax code, a sane regulatory environment, and a sane tort environment seem to me much better tools.) But getting a $3.6 billion deficit out of a $137 million tax cut is a pretty good rabbit-outta-the-hat trick.

    RoboShep™ strikes again.

  13. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Dildo, Jeff, bh. Dildo

  14. David Block says:

    E-mail to Shep and O’Reilly has been sent. He’s a disgrace.

  15. Bacon Ninja says:

    @Ernst – for some reason I was reminded of “The Life and Times of Johnny Hildo” – someone tell me it wasn’t just me.

    I don’t have anything else substantive to add to the discussion, that’s all I got.

    Good day.

    If your putz are too plural, the term is double or triple bogey.

    Recess content is covering collective bargaining pleas from members across the state.

    “expectation of the Gov not being met” “not leadership”

    “Leadership is listening, engaging all of us. We want local control. ”

    “collective bargaining is local control”? Repubs are hypocrites for not supporting this.

    Did not know that. Oh, wait, here’s the rest:

    Leadership is listening, engaging all of us. We want local control.

    Family contribution to help may the mortgage when times are tough.

    Respect teachers. “ask little from many, or a lot from all”

  70. Mr B says:

    Compensation plans to be like private sector. Competing.

    Protections will remain for public workers. Local level requirement to now pay into pension and HC. Local level will have more control.

    FDR view on collective bargaining being discussed.

    Protections best influenced by the electorate, especially at the local level. Unions serving interest, not the workers.

  71. Mr B says:

    Salary reduction of private workers, less contributions. Tough times for business. County employees immune from these cutbacks so far.

    Spending is going to come home to roost.

  72. Mr B says:

    “tools to manage the reductions that are going to come”

    “long term sustainability”

    “WI better off than IL and others”

  73. Mr B says:

    “Waukesha splits the HC premiums 50/0; what is proposed is fair”

    “unions would be requesting to go right back to previous agreement if CB not removed”

  74. Mr B says:

    50/50

  75. Mr B says:

    “those not working in the unions are working under slave conditions” Discussion is on how ridiculous that claim is. Hyperbole.

    “they believe what they are being told”

    claim: “If this bill passes they are going to lose their home” Discussion dismantling that.

    “bid out health insurance to lessen costs in municipalities”

    “higher taxes is opposition answer”.

    “the only card they have is the senate Democrats not returning”

  76. Mr B says:

    “budget deficit will be a record low after bill passes”

    Former UAW member commenting: “high paying union jobs driven out of state by the unions”

    “tech schools increased, ____ increaed my tax bill. It needs to stop now”

  77. Mr B says:

    “communities and schools struggling”

    “local property taxes, funding limited by levy” “cap in place”

    “School authority?”

    Response: “Revenue cap is 3 legged stool. 2/3 funding to school district. Revenue cap is on that 2/3″ Qualified economic offer it last 1/3” “intent of 3 legs to give predictability of what they would see” “Circumvented by referendum if chosen”

    “idea of removing revenue cap or referendum unlikely”

  78. SDN says:

    Shep perfectly embodies the reporter Kipling described in “Delilah”:

    He wrote for certain papers, which, as everybody knows,
    Is worse than serving in a shop or scaring off the crows.

  79. Mr B says:

    “Property taxes are an issue” “funding local districts a consideration”

    Q: cost per student. Vouchers

    A: “Per pupil cost 12K. Taxpayer alliance.” “some districts do well with less than others”

    “Parental choice program in Milwaukee” “Desire to expand”

    “School choice is and answer to many problems today” Mentioned Racine failure. “Good Superintendent”

    “showcase the program for Milwaukee can work elsewhere” Reformamania!

    “exact results for half the money; is that not good?”

  80. Mr B says:

    “gov task force” “ways to address prevailing wage issue”

    There seems to be a disagreement among R’s and the Governor over topic.

    “designed in the 50’s” “Form, what do you pay your employees” “Only those that fill out the survey are those that benfit from it”. “toss out low side for bias”

    “why are we doing it” “higher cost” “i beleive in bidding process” “no mandate to pay lowest bidder” “current process is expensive” “not enough money in transportation” “only state that does’t have general fund feeding trans”

  81. Mr B says:

    ” no union by me” “we are totally disenfranchised when dealing with public projects”

    Back to prevailing wage discussion, I think.

    “needs to be addressed as an actual prevailing wage, and not something not based on reality”

  82. Mr B says:

    Adjourned for lunch.

  83. Mr B says:

    Back live. Roll call.

  84. Mr B says:

    Shitty feed. Audio just lost.

    They went to Walkers office on break.

  86. Mr B says:

    The audio cut outs are maddening.

    “they are willing to go more than half way”

    “most people know, the workers have given….. audio dropped.”

  87. Mr B says:

    “civil rights movement, vietnam war since we have seen anything like this”

    “walker ….audio dropped.”

  88. Mr B says:

    “sincere effort for you to look at what we are saying is the starting point, not he ending point”

    Not sure what he is talking about with the cut outs.

  89. Mr B says:
