Into the mind of liberal self delusion

Letters: Seek the real truth about Wisconsin MLive.com
Teachers and other public employees have been staging huge protests in the Wisconsin capital in opposition to Gov. Scott Walker’s attempts to take away the right of collective bargaining.
On the comics page, Mallard Fillmore is outraged.

He has nothing but contempt for these protesters.

They are a bunch of vicious, greedy, union bullies carrying signs showing the governor in the crosshairs, and waving posters that say, “Wanted: Walker, DEAD or alive!”
But could it be that those signs were planted by conservative union-haters in order to make the real protesters look bad?
It seemed like a good idea to Mark Williams, a conservative radio personality.
He suggested to his listeners that they infiltrate the protests at the Madison capital wearing SEIU T-shirts. (SEIU stands for Service Employees International Union.)
They should carry signs under their shirts that say rude things like “Screw the taxpayer” and “You OWE me,” and they should pull them out for the cameras.
“Timing is important,” Williams explains, “because they will take them away from us.”
He ends his online post with this optimistic note: “Even if it becomes known that we are plants, the quotes and pictures will linger as de facto truth.”
The real protesters seemed like a mannerly bunch.
My guess is that the signs Mallard Fillmore screeches about were, indeed, plants, but so what?
All it takes is a few Mallard Fillmores to establish the phony signs as “de facto truths.”
How tawdry.

My response:
A quite despicable distraction from an oblivious MoveOn.org believer.
Please Ms. Pastoor, tell us of Mark William's radio show and the station that carries his show.
Please Ms. Pastoor, provide one tiny bit of proof that any disgusting union sign or mindless damage to public property was planted by anyone other the union supporting thugs.
Please Ms. Pastoor, tell us again that the millions of dollars of damage to the Wisconsin state capital and the hundreds of filthy signs were perpetrated on the good citizens of Wisconsin by a non-existent radio host and a cartoon character.
Please Ms. Pastoor!
And to the "professional" at The Chronicle who approved this delusional rant, Shame!
