BREAKING: Gov. Scott Walker Punked By Blogger Posing As David Koch--UPDATED
Part 1:
Part 2:
We all know that Governor Scott Walker takes his orders from Billionaires and Tea Party loaders Koch Brothers. But thanks to this guy named Murphy, we know how much Scott Walker is in bed with the Koch Brothers.
Scott Walker just got the Sarah Palin's treatment when someone called him while posing as David Koch. Just like Palin, Walker believed it and fall [sic] into the trap.
Greg Sargent at the Washington Post has confirmed it is a real call. The transcript is unbelievable. I really think that even outside Wisconsin's constitutional limits regarding recalling the governor, that Walker needs to step down now. Not for getting punked, but what he admits to considering with the man he assumes is Americans for Prosperity funder David Koch.
* Walker doesn't bat an eye when Koch describes the opposition as "Democrat bastards."
* Walker reveals that he and other Republicans are looking at whether they can charge an "ethics code violation if not an outright felony" if unions are paying for food or lodging for any of the Dem state senators.
* Walker says he's sending out notices next week to some five or six thousand state workers letting them know that they are "at risk" of layoffs.
"Beautiful, beautiful," the Koch impersonator replies. "You gotta crush that union."
UPDATES below the fold:
More from Sargent:
UPDATE, 11:54 a.m.: In a key detail, Walker reveals that he is, in effect, laying a trap for Wisconsin Dems. He says he is mulling inviting the Senate and Assembly Dem and GOP leaders to sit down and talk, but only if all the missing Senate Dems return to work. Then, tellingly, he reveals that the real game plan here is that if they do return, Republicans might be able to use a procedural move to move forward with their proposal. "If they're actually in session for that day and they take a recess, this 19 Senate Republicans could then go into action and they'd have a quorum because they started out that way," he says. "If you heard that I was going to talk to them that would be the only reason why." Then the fake Koch says this: "Bring a baseball bat. That's what I'd do." Walker doesn't bat an eye, and responds: "I have one in my office, you'd be happy with that. I've got a slugger with my name on it."
12:09 p.m.: Another key exchange: FAKE KOCH: What we were thinking about the crowds was, planting some troublemakers. WALKER: We thought about that. My only gut reaction to that would be, right now, the lawmakers I talk to have just completely had it with them. The public is not really fond of this.The teachers union did some polling and focus groups... It's unclear what Walker means when he says he "thought" about planting some troublemakers, but it seems fair to ask him for clarification.
And as I suspected, a watchdog group in investigating whether Walker admitted to breaking any campaign finance or ethics laws in the conversation.
UPDATE #2: Walker's office has announced he will address the media at 2:30pm.

that was fast.
Traffic is overwhelming, I'd guess.
But I included it for later in the day.

It's on YouTube already. Google it.

That is so full of win. I'm emailing my union local president with that idea NOW.

Very interested to see how mainstream corporate media outlets handle this one. And the budget with those no bid sales of power plants to the Koch brothers? Hmmm.
....have we done for them today?
Walker looks real silly with his pants around his ankles.

about this on the Ed Schultz radio show right now.
going to cover it on "The Ed Show" tonight on MSNBC.
walker is dirty and a cheat.
of college.....for cheating. Good practice for being a Rethuglican politician.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
that's why you don't see him in any Marquette clothing. he dropped out after 4 yrs. of Marquette for a job with the American Heart Association.........please.
In part two, around the 6:28 mark, walker talks about how Senator Schumer talking about his WI budget is ironic.
At the 7:35 mark, He says something like 'its good to let them know you know whats going on.'
Clearly the whole tape shows that he does not know what's going on...clearly ironic.
But I've known about it for 4+ hours now, and not a peep from them. Oooh, but Lindsay Lohan is leaving court today!!!

In the game of guess the wingnut retort, I call: it's not complete and taken out of context. Out of context is one they use when they want to drop it and don't want to argue it. I'm guessing this is one of those times.
this will never see the light of day on the MSM...Sad.
I hope it's real. That dirty rat-bastard Walker is toast. He has more or less admitted to union busting and doing everything he can to screw Wisconsin Democrats. If they can't recall him yet, I wonder, could he be impeached over this? And yeah, why isn't this all over the news entertainment networks?

sorry lost my head. Although Andrea Mitchell played a very small byte for Majority Leader Suder just now while she was interviewing him. Suder is inviting Democratic Senators back to 'debate'... setting the 'trap'?

Change the channel, don't go. But don't tell me how or what to think.
Unfucking believable! I was truly amazed when Governor Walker admitted to considering sending in plants to cause disruption and make it look like the actual protesters were the cause. That right there should pique the FBI's interest in Governor Walker.

Notice how the only reason he decided not to was that he didn't think it would be effective - he decided it would attract more press attention and that would be bad.

I think Blago got impeached for much less than this. He was only thinking about selling the Senate seat. Walker has sold the governorship to Koch Industry.
Not gonna happen.
He CAN be recalled, but only after being in office for a year. However, there are groups looking to bring ethics violations charges.
I understand that officials must be in office for a year before being threatened with recall. But aren't there some Republican State senators that are liable to recall now? Why can't they start the process now?
Hell, with the thousands they have at the rally they could start.
The arrogance, that because you're offended by something, no one should be exposed to it is offensive.
Change the channel, don't go. But don't tell me how or what to think.
Well, if Walker can't be recalled or impeached (because of the Republican majority in the State Senate) then criminally charge and prosecute this imposter for ethics violations. Because my fear is that if he gets away with this, this kind of crap is going to get worse and spread to other states more rapidly.
I only hope that at least some of the teabaggers who have been duped awaken from their comas and realize they screwing themselves (along with the rest of the country).
Also, we should all be inspired by the people of Egypt who ran the criminal vermin out of their country. The power of the people is unstoppable when FULLY unleashed.

“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
When Walker waxes nostalgic about Ronald Reagan firing all the air traffic controllers, he comes very close to exposing what I always believed was the truth behind conservative ideology - that the fight against communism was always nothing more than a smokescreen for the fight against organized labour. They see it as the same threat.
For that matter the whole wolf's skin that they've clad communism (and now socialism of any kind) in for half a century was all down to them confusing Stalin, a totalitarian dictator, for a Marxist. He was nothing of the kind as anyone with the slightest grasp of history is aware. That right there is the Big Lie that has dominated American politics since the end of WWII.

Walker is a FK'N bought and paid for Reslug. Recall!
A recall, as pointed out earlier, will require Governor Walker to be in office for at least one year. What would be better is a federal indictment on corruption and illegal anti-union charges (the later in regards to his thinking of putting in trouble makers).

The Indiana senate democrats have been in Illinois for three days. Republicans killed the "right-to-work" bill but the dems want a school voucher bill and a bill denying collective bargaining for teachers taken off the table. Daniels had earlier asked the Repub lawmakers to forget about the right to work bill as it would jeopardize the rest of his agenda but apparently they were just too eager to kill some unions.

A short video on, perhaps on Ed's show, shows walker violently kissing another man on each cheek. Just the way walker does it draws attention to it. I think it may show walker has some issues, and may show that walker is deeply disturbed, maybe insane. I don't have access to the videos, but some digging will find the very short episode.

"BREAKING: Gov. Scott Walker Punked By Blogger Posing As David Koch"
Not surprisingly, Daily Kos broke the story.
Ya, Daily Kos is good. They're looking out for the average American.
Walker is looking out for himself, as is Koch. Too bad isn't it, the Tea Party folks don't realize they are being led around by the nose, by Koch and Walker.
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob"

what walker is doing is called colluding, and it is very illegal and unethical. i'm not familiar with the laws in wisconsin, but surely there are grounds to have walker relieved of his duties as governor. what more is needed to show that he is working with the koch brothers to destroy unions, and to do the bidding of the koch brothers?
this man's term as governor is going to be even shorter than palin's governorship. somebody needs to see t it that this man is forced to step down as governorl
Funny how the blogs are all over this story for a while now and as of 1:36 pm not a word on it from the MSM. Surprising isn't it.
is intended to be a factual statement
NO!
They would be awaiting some confirmation, presumably to avoid another Sherrod/Breitbart episode. Those guys don't usually operate at blog-speed. :)
True. However Walker has now admitted that it was him.

on YouTube. Actually the caller Murphy mimicked his voice and speaking manner real well. And Walker may have talked with both brothers, been a little confused by similar speech patterns, spoke to them a few times but talked to their proxies more, talks to a lot of people, is a little stressed by the whole situation. That he didn't pick up on the setup is not surprising. I'm sure he wasn't stringing the caller along while knowing that it was a fake call.
Strange that Gov. Walker doesn’t seem to recognize his voice. He doesn’t drift into a more personal style of speech. He treats him like a generic political supporter.
for 20 minutes. If you want to tell yourself that he's not using a more personal style with this guy and he wasn't really duped, you go right ahead.
me-oww!
This is serious stuff, How many regular Wisconsin citizens do you think could get that kind of status report? NONE!!! If this is a real conversation, watch how quick the messenger will be attacked. But most importantly, not just on the republician side, on both sides, this is the game being run on the willfully disinterested American people. The bottom line, when politicians take money from powerful interest groups, that interest group owns their ass, It's no secret, politicians, and bought and sold by the powerful every single hour of the day. To be fair, not all polticans are for sell, however those that are not, but know those that are shady, are guilty because silence is consent.
Everyone DOES realize this conversation takes place between roger ailes, glenn beck and the real koch bros EVERY FRIGGIN MORNING for a strategy session....right?

The republican legislature just gave this weasel absolute power over the disposition of ENERGY resources in WI. He has no checks or balances in the selling, leasing etc... of any of the energy assets of the people. KOCHS got what he paid for. The people of WI are about to be screwed. If you recall, Rachel Maddow pointed out that Walker fired the public security guards in the County and hired the digraceful, foreign owned WACKENHUT to replace those workers. He just got slapped down for that misuse of authority which is going to cost taxpayers $440,000 plus legal fees. So, he learned his lesson and this time the legilature gave him ABSOLUTE control over ENERGY. He doesn't have to require competitive bids, he can sell short and sweet to the KOCHS and their front corps. Walker may be recalled in a year, but he is going to do a lot of damage in that period of time. He is dumping on the repugs and the people. The attack on public employees is peanuts compared to what he can do with WI energy resources to enrich his friends and impoverish the state in the future.

Isn't it illegal to think such things?

Governor Walker should have said, "In light of what happened in Tucson, I find your joke about bat violence reprehensible. Rather than donate any money to my reelection fund, I ask you to divert those funds to the new Tuscon Center for Civility. And learn some tolerance. Good day, sir. I said 'good day'!"

I agree...but that story is out there in bits and pieces. Most MSM are not tying the no-bid contracts to Koch Brothers to AFP donations to Walker's campaign.
I didn't think you could make the case that Koch was involved in that provision unless Koch ended up owning or operating the plants. But his willingness to take the call and be frank about future plans to pressure Democratic Senators with someone who is not from Wisonsin or part of state government makes it hard for him to deny it credibily now.
On the other hand, many thought the blue dress would take down Clinton. This guy is going to hang tough. Unless the National Guard he planned to call out on the protestors turn against him

IDK about hangin' tough. This Walker character seems like a novice (and 100% douche). Say what you will about the Clintons' politics, but if they had ever contrived such a scheme, they'd have pulled it off without a hitch (can't decide if that's meant as flattery or contempt). This guy seems to be doubling down while holding a hand of, maybe, ace high.
that this punking is going to appear and will it ever be discussed by the big three or faux news... in short, in the upside down world of wrong-wing unreality, will the truth ever be heard or acted upon... you're question poli-sci 102 for the day kiddies...

Scott Walker Must Resign!
'Talk to the hand'
The part of "shenanigans" was only being played by Murphy. Gov. Walker however was not "in" on the shenanigans and though the call was legit and implicated himself in quite a few "problems."
Gov. Walker should in fact lose his job over this and rightfully so.
should go straight to f-ing jail for TREASON!

are corporate controlled, but that most reporters are not very smart. The first question should have been "why would you take a phone call from and have a twenty minute conversation with a billionaire out of state contributor and tip him off to your strategies and plans to trick Democrats? Why would he you take such a call in this time of state crisis?
“Why would anyone with a functioning brain believe this guy?”
Some guy with an eating disorder
he take that call and not take calls from the democratic senators?
Ding ding ding ding
You would think the press would relish such a moment, such a story. Remember the recorded phone call of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich ? The press was all over that one. That was in the news for months.

that Walker appears in public, union members should show up with phones and say...
RING RING...RING RING
Governor...it's for you!
Lower the retirement age.
All Things Considered just did a feature on it!! Bravo!
Hey everyone, maybe it's because I'm from Utah that I think like this, but I believe I know a way we can keep the Michigan 14 from having to worry about prosecutions in regards to union financial support, or what is perceived to be.
Have them ask a willing church congregation(s) to offer them asylum, and provide them room and board. As they are in hiding, and now have no income, they are effectively homeless...
Then make sure everyone knows to donate some to the churches offering them shelter as well, for their bravery and Christian/Jewish/Taoist/Buddist/Muslim/Pagan/etc. values. Not to mention braving what would likely descend upon them when they do this.
If I'm correct, Walker and his thugs wouldn't be able to touch them there. In fact, I'd say the Senators should then disclose their locations, and offer interviews from said churches, temples, etc..
This is spreading like a wildfire, and while it does, we need to be finally uniting this country, and fanning the flames of serious political action.

Walker and Koch are gangsters. This reminds me of the scene in the first Godfather film when Michael is at a restaurant having a planned truce dinner with some other guys and he goes into the bathroom to find a hidden gun in the toilet tank, then he comes back and mows them down. They are crooks! Plutocrat mafia!
100 percent AWESOME.
NOBODY 2012
The thing that strikes me most is Walkers apparent need to explain himself to Koch, a wealthy non-constituent and large political donor.
Like a lackey reporting to a superior the ass kissing is over the top.
Whadda corrupt fucking bastard!
Scooter, your resignation gladly is accepted!

The thing that should strike all of us is that Gov. Walker answers to billionare donors. Do you think he would be holding this kind of conversation with any run-of-the-mill Teabagger?
This should be played on repeat on loudspeakers anywhere demonstrations are being held.
There is no doubt who owns and runs the Tea Party now.
If there was any doubt about billionaires owning the teaparty it should be removed by now.
The man behind the curtain has been exposed.
