Remember Palin being accused of inciting violence?

Take a look at what Michael Moore said yesterday to Rachel Maddow on her show and then read this.

I thought that it was a filthy lie that was being told, but this ought to prove it to anyone with a brain.

Update:

This is going to be a long hard fight, so it isn't over yet.  There should be little doubt that the Democrats are going to keep pushing back on this, and it won't be pretty as long as it lasts.  Here's this Trumka guy thanking Walker. Yes, the Democrats should kiss Walker's feet for not backing down and preserving Democracy and the rule of law.  If they got what they wanted, the precedent would be set that any election could overturned by a mob.  Now that crisis has past, it remains to be seen whether or not the Democrats will find another way to pull a rabbit out of their hats and still prevail.  But this mob was the worse threat.

The Democrats have to be saved from themselves.  It really depends on whether or not the Republicans in Wisconsin and elsewhere have the nerve to go toe to toe with them for the distance.  I hope so.  Because the way to prosperity is not through unions, but through free enterprise.  As much as many union sympathizers may sneer at this, no union ever invented the light bulb or anything else like that.  All a union is is what we have seen in Wisconsin.  Just another way of bullying people into giving up what they wouldn't give by choice.

Or earn legitimately.  And this business was not legit.


Update:

Now, the fight moves on to the courts.  Here are a couple of observations that may be a bit unsettling to the mob:

 1) There was a court order to stay out of the Capitol Building after hours.  This was violated and it was a willful violation.   It won't do for a petitioner to show no respect to a body, as in this case, the courts, for which they have no respect.   They didn't respect the court, why should they expect sympathy from a judge?
2) Threats against public officials (see above link) in the lawful performance of their duties just might not be overlooked by other public officials, like judges, who are required to make difficult decisions which may be very unpopular with certain people.  This type of behavior by the mob will not keep them in good stead when they plead their case with a judge.  I would really be suspicious if this turns out otherwise.
