Create New Propaganda Award, Give Walker The Trophy And Retire It

You are in a classless class of one if you are willing to publicly manipulate seniors and the disabled.

Here is video of Walker's news conference - - complete with an interview with the grateful family of a young disabled man - - where Walker takes credit for a health care program expansion [sic] that we now know was ordered earlier by the federal government - - facts and a sequence Walker left out of his announcement.

As I said just a few hours ago, you have to pay attention to Walker's words and the settings.

New rule: Watch, and think the opposite of what you are hearing.

No wonder PolitiFact has attached the word "false" at some level to 70% of his statements vetted, but even "Pants on Fire" doesn't do justice to using the old and sick as political props.

We need a trophy for Lie Of Omission.

Call it "the Special Place In Hell" award. Give it to Walker, and retire it.

Nah, it's not new. I used to do that while listening to Ari Fleischer give a press conference for George W. Bush. Sadly, it's just as necessary with Walker.
