Walker "the victim" talks about nasty ultrasound picture, again, exploits victimization and denies the undeniable.

Scott Walker is again playing up to the inner conservative fears of being victimized.

Walker's outrageously cold comment about the "lovely thing ... a cool thing" about the "exciting" forced ultrasound pictures. But this can all be cleared up with one simple question:
Why was Walker talking about ultrasound pictures in the first place? 
Could it be the line:
“We signed a law that requires ultrasound which, think about that, the media tried to make that sound like a crazy idea. Most people I talk to..." 
In this case, conservatives are embarrassing themselves by actually trying to pull Walker's comment out of context to defend their fumbling "leader" from another insensitive gaffe that just highlights his sociopathic behavior. The major media outlets picked up on the story because it was clearly a relevant and scary insight into a possible presidential candidate.

Getting a lot of help from conservative talk show host Dana Loesch, who all but spoon fed Walker his own talking points, the topic has now been given new life and a chance to reach more people. Here's Dana Loesch,  shamelessly self-promoting herself, and using Walker for everything she can get. It's damage control time, with "victim" and misunderstood possible world leader Scott Walker:



Here's the original Walker comment, unedited and in context. Go figure. One more thing, the ultrasound is an unnecessary and costly procedure dictated by big government Republicans getting between a doctor and their patient, something conservatives like Walker claim to be against:


“We signed a law that requires ultrasound which, think about that, the media tried to make that sound like a crazy idea. Most people I talk to, whether they’re pro-life or not, I find people all the time who’ll get out their iPhone and show me a picture of their grandkids’ ultrasound and how excited they are, so that’s a lovely thing. I think about my sons are 19 and 20, you know we still have their first ultrasound picture. It’s just a cool thing out there.”

"RedState" spins outrageous Walker ultrasound comment with big fat lie.

Quick, to the rescue, it's RedState, the ultra-rightwing propaganda site that regurgitates the news in a way that makes Republicans look like the new Avengers.

Scott Walker insanely justified a woman's forced ultrasound before an abortion as a way for her to get "a lovely thing," "a cool thing" like a picture of the fetus she could proudly show her friends. Here's the ice cold quote:
“We signed a law that requires ultrasound which, think about that, the media tried to make that sound like a crazy idea. Most people I talk to, whether they’re pro-life or not, I find people all the time who’ll get out their iPhone and show me a picture of their grandkids’ ultrasound and how excited they are, so that’s a lovely thing. I think about my sons are 19 and 20, you know we still have their first ultrasound picture. It’s just a cool thing out there.”
Ugly and hideous, isn't it. But RedState spun the story and only picked up Walker's quote at the point where he says "Most people...," pulling the meaning of his comment out of context. Surprise:
Politico today led the way in a virtual tidal wave of outragey outrage stories across the leftosphere trashing Scott Walker as some kind of monster because he thinks that forcing women to have ultrasounds before they can have an abortion is “cool” and gosh doesn’t he just love rape. Only that’s not rape. And, oh yeah, he didn’t even say that.

Yes once again the media and the left have coincidented the same error … that magically makes Scott Walker out to be a woman-hating oppressor. However, radio and television host Dana Loesch, who conducted the interview from which the misquote was misappropriated, has the actual story
"On the subject of abortion, Walker discussed mandatory ultrasounds prior to obtaining an abortion. In discussing the ultrasound images themselves, he described how he and his wife still have their sons’s images and that they are 'cool.'”
That’s right. He was talking about ultrasounds in general being cool things. HOW SHOCKING!!! Says Dana, “anyone with the reading comprehension of a dolphin knows that Walker was specifically describing ultrasound images, not the legislation itself.”
Only if that dolphin doesn't read the whole quote, or can't watch the offending comment here:

Democratic State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout accused of "Theatrics" after Talking about her Own Sexual Assault.

 Sen. Kathleen Vinehout is tough, wonkish, and speaks her mind. That’s something Republicans men don’t like, and it may have strengthened their resolve to pass mandatory and unnecessary ultrasounds tests on women.
Raw Story: Wednesday’s Senate session began with state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout (D)
reading letters from several constituents who opposed the ultrasound bill. “The idea of — quote — small government is in direct conflict with big government Republicans sticking their nose my vagina,” one voter named Suzanne wrote. “How can we get the conservatives — mostly men — to quit blaming women, many times girls, solely for unwanted pregnancies?”

Vinehout said that she had been touched by the letters because she had also been a victim of sexual assault at the age of 15. “And if we truly want to make abortion rare, Mr. President, why are we defunding Planned Parenthood?” the Alma Democrat asked.
Prude defender of sex abstinence education and defunding Planned Parenthood, big government Sen. Mary Lazich explained how she wants to know what’s going on in a women’s womb, and can’t imagine anyone else not wanting to nose around for purely political purposes.
“If you have a loved one that’s thinking about terminating their pregnancy, for crying out loud, you want them to have full information, you want them to have an ultrasound, you want them to know what’s going on in that womb and what they’re doing.
Our authoritarian overlords discounted the minority objections, when Lazich blamed Democrats of doing something only Republicans do so well, cheap “theatrics.” So Vinehout’s own sexual assault at 15 is apparently, all show?
Republican state Sen. Mary Lazich, who sponsored the legislation, encouraged her fellow lawmakers to ignore “the theatrics surrounding” Vinehout’s presentation and then launched into an impassioned speech of her own.

Lazich, who like her fellow Republicans, won’t work this hard to save the life of someone who needs health care. Where’s the concern hypocrites? Sen. Jon Erpenbach was right, this forces their religious beliefs onto everyone else. Real constitutional scholars.

Gov. O'Malley shows other Democrats how to talk to Republicans.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley trashes Virginia's "transvaginal ultrasound probe" Gov. Bob McDonnell for his states hard right political turn, and while he's at it, slips in Wisconsin's job loss record. This is how Democrats need to take on Republicans.

Transvaginal Ultrasound Probe Government Mandated Health Care?

We hear it all the time about Obama's Affordable Care Act; it's a government take over, requiring coverage people don't want. Right?

So what do the Republican hypocrites do to "walk the walk?" They get between the patient and doctor requiring an unnecessary procedure. They couldn't have been more flagrant going against everything they've ever said for the past 40 years. Only lately did it occrue to the press or Democrats that this was big government health care...by Republicans.

It's the end of their argument. Done. Toast. Next time they start whining about "government health care" ask them about the trans-vaginal ultrasound probe they tried to force on patients. Rachel says it perfectly!



Here's one of the years most disgusting displays of juvenile bullying by a Republican lawmaker yet. Virginia's own knuckle dragger David Albo. This is the kind of government conservative voters are looking for?
