Walker's same old song: "A handful of people here don't get to trump the voices of the millions of taxpayers of the state.."

I found this video of Scott Walker once again ignoring protesters at an appearance way back on April 1st.

Wausau Daily Herald: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Thursday praised work done to clean toxic PCBs from the Fox River near Neenah. Meanwhile, union protesters showed up to criticize the state's new collective bargaining law.


I'm posting it because despite the sincerity of the protesters, and the trouble they went through to show up at the governors scheduled event, Walker issued his standard comeback. It's a retort that could have easily been used by Democrats to discount the tea party disruptions at town hall's across the nation. Had Democrats used it, there might not be a tea party movement today.


Walker: "I'm not ignoring them, but my point all along has been, a handful of people here don't get to trump the voices of the millions of taxpayers of the state...."
See how easy it was to minimize their voices? He also said that about the million plus protesters around the state and Capitol, which might be a little on the disingenuous, dishonest side. Ya think?
