The Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank sees and writes about what some of us have been saying for a long time:

Scott Walker is not a nice man.

Walker's visions of grandeur are completely reliant upon the voices that dictate his script, moves and the rewards he receives for executing them. Walker is not functioning as an independent human. For example, he can or cannot answer questions if they are not in his script, thus he has to "punt" or answers, "I don't know" etc. The absolute avoidance of unscripted questions and situations are a hallmark of his "style". It would be beneficial for Democrats to take advantage of and showcase this (as Mayor Barrett did) throughout Walker's presidential campaign. It is a weakness not to have one's own mind--let's take advantage of that!; February 24, 2015 at 8:18 AM

Oh yeah, they are busy printing his talking points as news and endorsing him repeatedly.

What's up with that sham watchdog in the state's largest newspaper anyhow?; February 24, 2015 at 9:04 AM

Fact is, walker takes his orders directly from multinational corporate interests that have no loyalty to this nation.

I would be grateful if the media covered that, the real story.

But I am not holding my breath. Look at the shameless propaganda corporate media here uses to promote walker. The national corporate media answers to the same interests.

The things walker says about his faith shouldn't be considered news as they are disingenuous-at-best, outright lies-at-worst.

Jesus certainly didn't say kill the poor by making them suffer in absolute poverty. The divide-and-conquer politics walker stands for have nothing to do with Christianity.; February 24, 2015 at 9:54 AM

She dubbed her philosophy "Objectivism" which was rejected by true philosophical academia. The central theme of it is "me, myself & I" and reject concern for another. It is the antithesis of Christianity.; February 24, 2015 at 1:12 PM
