We are Wisconsin HQ destroyed in Fire
 Edited on Sun Jul-31-11 02:48 AM by Bjorn Against
Source: Daily Kos

The We Are Wisconsin headquarters in La Crosse, Wisconsin, was totally destroyed in a fire that started at 9:30 a.m. today and is still burning. There were staff in the building when the fire started, but all were evacuated and are safe. At this time, there is no indication of the cause of the fire.  

<snip>

--------------------------

We need to demand a very thorough investigation into this fire, it is more than a bit suspicious that something like this would happen just days before the recall elections.

1. EXTREMELY suspicious. No doubt in my mind it was arson.

22. Let's wait for the evidence, OK?
 Still, as you say, very suspicious.

46. That's fine - you should do that
 the rest of us will settle for the obvious conclusion.

138. Ahhh. The "progressive" value of guilty until proved innocent
 Ain't hypocrisy fun?

Yeah, I think I will stick to my core convictions and not sell them out the second it benefits me.

148. Hmm...
 This sort of reminds me of the people that shouted at those of us claiming election fraud in Ohio in 2004 to "wait for the evidence." Oddly enough those same people were utterly silent or absent after the evidence mounted.

71. Sure. 
 By the way, how did the Prosser selection by the Waukesha County ballot scandal and cluster **** recount work for you?

14. They Will Kill To Stay In Power
 Makes me wonder about Prosser's assault of Ann Walsh Bradley. If that room would have been empty . . .

60. We need a worker's militia...........
 For a LOT of protective purposes. Not only candidates, but for demonstrations, strikes, really anywhere leftish people are going to gather to challenge the power structure especially the proto fascists. THIS time I want the new Brown Shirts to have a REAL fight.

And lest anybody misreads this, THIS IS FOR SELF DEFENSE ONLY!

92. Because I know whose side I'm on
 and left wing militias would be for self defense only. After all THEY are attacking us.

 

It's true and if the evidence says it's not it just proves how true it is.

99. And your point is?
 This is a left centrist web site, or so I was told. Because the fascists are out there, I don't want what passes for the left in this country to be caught by surpirse and undefended by the new American Brown Shirts. Because I certainly don't expect the government to protect me from those Brown Shirts. Whose side are you on?

104. I'm saying that your reasoning/reasons are identical to the claims made....
 by the other side of the political spectrum.

Both sides consider theirs to be the side of truth, justice and the American way. Neither side is, of course, wholly correct or incorrect on their assumptions.

And having militias organised along purely political ideologies strikes me as a particularly bad/dangerous idea. I may be wrong, but I really don't like the idea of internally Balkanizing ourselves.

113. Really? How many Repuke HQ have been torched recently?
 How many Repuke reps have been shot in the head?

Are you of the "both sides are equally guilty" brigade?

30. There is no need for a thorough investigation into the fire's cause.
 It was the same people who burned the Reichstag in 1933. They bought a new home in Wisconsin.

31. Arson. Most definitely.
 It's something Walker would do.

32. Wisconsin Republicans must REALLY be worried (Rove and the Kochs, too)
 To resort to this kind of drastic measure. It won't (I hope) escape the citizens
of Wisconsin just who it is that was supposed to benefit from this arson, and
what the timing of the fire signifies.

I just sent Shilling $1000. I usually don't get heavily involved in local stuff
like this, but this kind of KKK-like thuggery went on long enough in the South.
I recognize it for what it is, and it burns me up today the same way it did in
the sixties, when I was too young and helpless to do anything about it.

And on it goes...

63. If it's determined not to be arson, that would be a cover-up
 In fact, anyone who believes it wasn't is a hard-core Didiot. Be meek and timid if you want, but please try to maintain a grasp on reality - that Republicans are murderous psychopaths

Later in the thread Tansy Gold bails against the tide of calls for violence.

I just sent Shilling $10.00

Had to put the decimal in for the DUmmie.

The only line that really matters.

Seeing DUmmies jump to conclusions, blame Republicans, and make calls for violence is par for the course on the island...DUmmies are eternal strangers to truth. Only their hatred matters.

Hatred, and envy are the ties that bind socialists together. They have no other foundation.

Lurking DUmmies: you are pathetic.

130. Of course it's ARSON
 Today, GOP OPERATIVES

Some day, maybe soon, GOP Operatives
will burn Americans.

Do you get it yet?

GOP are Nazis.

147. These pictures were taken on the same day of the fire ~ yesterday
 It seems odd that they would be clearing rubble when the investigation has even commenced and the ashes are still warm. How many heavy equipment operators are on Sunday call? I smell a NEOCON rat turd!

 

[Odin's Hand]

Damn, DUmmies sure is dumb! I'd much rather clear those hot-spots with a backhoe so they can get those ladder hoses on them than swing a f'ing fire axe.

Equipment operators in Wisconsin used to all "have" to belong to the union....Sunday=double time and a half....call me

These people are unhinged.

They *want* to be victims.

This sort of reminds me of the people that shouted at those of us claiming election fraud in Ohio in 2004 to "wait for the evidence." Oddly enough those same people were utterly silent or absent after the evidence mounted.

Dubya won Ohio by 120,000 votes. It wasn't close. And no evidence ever mounted up of anything, except that Dubya won the state easily. This, despite John F'n taking a day off the week before the election for his favorite pastime, Ohio goose hunting, and asking, "Can I buy me a huntin' license?" I wonder how many hours, before and since that day, John F'n has spent in a goose blind.

Maybe evidence would have mounted, if the DUmp had sent Bev Harris that last $10 she needed. There she was, in the alley behind the Warren County election commission, with an entire DUmpster full of uncounted Kerry votes, hundreds of thousands of them. She needed just $10 to hire a wino to bag 'em up and take 'em to the counting room. Did the $10 show up? Noooooo! Stupid DUmmies!

So then, Andy was on to something, on the verge of breaking the whole sordid mess wide apart, send Blackwell to prison, remove Dubya, and let the DNC decide whether to swear in John F'n or Algore. But nooo! The freepers killed Andy right at the last minute. Stupid Johns Hopkins mailroom! Poor DUmmies!

[Mr Mannn]

Left wing militias....Betcha that gets outa control right away. Especially if emo drug users from DU get involved.
Someone will get shot...likely one of their own.

It won't be Janet Reno who arrests them, it will be the Drug enforcement agency busting a militia party in the woods somewhere. The loud music and the smell of weed will draw Law Enforcement like a moth to a flame.
Can't wait for the DU threads on that one.

Dang, DU start a left wing militia in my state. I know the lingo, I'll fit in. I'm in the right "weight" category. Can't wait to narc you guys out!
