Or will those who didn’t sign the recall petitions actually
be the ones dragged into conservative detention centers indefinitely for supporting the iron
fist of the authoritarian administration fixated on blacklisting all
dissenters? Can we use their support of Walker as a weapon against them in the
future, if by some weird twist, Wisconsinites notice one day they’re living in
a despotic society?
We ignore these fringe groups at own peril:
WTMJ: A conservative research group Media Trackers says several dozen employees in Democratic Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm's office signed recall petitions for Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
But Chisholm's top aide says none of the prosecutors who are overseeing a long-running investigation of Walker's current and former aides were among those who signed the recall petitions.
Media Trackers identified 43 people in Chisholm's office … It says one was a deputy district attorney and 19 were assistant district attorneys. The list also includes secretaries and other clerical staff.
You too might be on the black list someday for...well, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Even if they were, this reaction by the DA's office plays into the right-wing "Overton Window," i.e., the specious frame that invites citizens to think that any signature from any DA's employee is somehow illegal or a conflict of interest.
