Thugocracy promoters at the MacIver Institute ignore victims of domestic violence, bully insipid GAB to post Walker Recall Petitions.


They won! Yet, this merry band of MacIver Institute brownshirts still aren’t happy, what a surprise:
WTMJ Radio: A spokesman for a conservative think tank claimed that when the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board posted online the signed petitions to recall Governor Walker, they did it in a way to make it hard for people to search through. "They had purposely intended to not make it easy for the public to search," said Brian Fraley of the MacIver Institute on Newsradio 620 WTMJ's "Midday with Charlie Sykes." "It's an incredibly cumbersome web site, slow to load, easy to crash, hard to get on, hard to sort through, not searchable."

And what authority does the MacIver Institute have when it comes to name verification? None. Unfortunately, the GAB is a pliable dupe:
Fraley credited the GAB with following through on the MacIver open records request for those recall signatures. "They did what we asked them to do, which was to make this information public.  That's not to say that the petitions that are there, that this is an incredible act of transparency."
Will the GAB also tell outside tea party organizations checking signatures to butt out of our state's recall election? My guess...no.
