Tom Barrett Challenged to another fight, tastelessly, by Republican candidate.

Republican governor candidate Scott Walker made Olbermann's worst persons list, again, after tastelessly challenging Democratic candidate and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to a "fight." Watch and see why.



One Wisconsin Now: Walker turned hardball politics into dirty ball. In his television ad, he implies he’s ready to get physical with Mayor Barrett -- going so far as to don boxing gloves and knock them together likes he’s ready to fight.

Why would Scott Walker mock the heroic effort made by Mayor Barrett to protect a grandmother and her granddaughter who were under attack? Why would Scott Walker diminish Mayor Barrett’s real heroism -- heroism that left him the victim of a vicious and potential fatal beating with a crowbar when he intervened?

It’s unbelievable. But he did. And now he has to stop.
