As the Hulk would say, Smash Walker, with his own words, "divide and conquer."

Scott Walker's idea of governing Wisconsin is to divide and conquer."

According to Russ Feingold's ProgressivesUnited email:

Unbelievable. The new footage of Scott Walker telling a billionaire donor about his plan to "divide and conquer" in Wisconsin leaves no doubt: This is the work of a dishonest governor and a national corporate agenda.

This is politics at its worst. Help end Walker's brutal agenda today.

Oh boy, Scott Walker's got some explaining to do, and Tom Barrett has a few incredible ads to run.
jsonline: A filmmaker released a video Thursday that shows Gov. Scott Walker saying he would use "divide and conquer" as a strategy against unions.
It'll be interesting to finally get a glimpse into the character of conservative voters, to see if this sits well with them. When a billionaire is more concerned about making Wisconsin a red state, the first thing she brings up with Walker, it's hardly a matter of just "job creation." As you will see in the videos below, they want to bring one party rule to Wisconsin, and the reasons for that are pretty clear. Here's the short video:


Walker made the comments to Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks, who has since given $510,000 to the governor's campaign - making her Walker's single-largest donor and the largest known donor to a candidate in state history.

In the video shot on Jan. 18, 2011 - shortly before Walker's controversial budget-repair bill was introduced and spawned mass protests - Hendricks asked the governor whether he could make Wisconsin a "completely red state, and work on these unions, and become a right-to-work" state. Walker replied that his "first step" would be "to divide and conquer"

Documentary filmmaker Brad Lichtenstein is now promoting his finished documentary, "As Goes Janesville," which is expected to be shown at film festivals and on PBS stations this fall.
This clip is from the documentary, at 371 Productions, and really explains what is happening in Janesville. Even worse, Hendricks is part of Rock County 5.0, a group of businesses dedicated to bring jobs to Janesville (for more on RC 5.0, check out this nice piece at Rock Netroots). At the cost of labor of course;



Just a note: I talked to my conservative friend a few moments ago and asked him how he felt about Walker's comment, and he said, "It was no secret, of course he wants to divide and conquer. That's politics." Ends justify means.
