The Capital Times Editor Documents Walker's Repellant Extremism

Paul Fanlund lays out the case for removing the extremist, Scott Walker:

The recall is not about public employees nor is it about politics as usual. It is about Walker's toxic brand of political fundamentalism -- heartless and historically unprecedented -- that should repel fair-minded, mainstream voters everywhere.

You would think so.

I especially liked this part:

"Perhaps what is most mind-boggling is the breadth and depth of right-wing extremism at the Capitol this year. Actions that individually would have set off alarms in normal times were drowned out in the avalanche of awfulness.

"Until this year, when one party controlled the governor's office and both houses of the Legislature, the party in power generally restrained itself. Maybe some reasoned that the minority's constituents actually deserved a voice, or, less altruistically, they knew the electoral pendulum would eventually swing back."

Swing on, Wisconsin!
