WALKER: I mean, I think it's interesting because the prankster there tried to insinuate at least that this person was going to push for people to come in and cause a disturbance amongst the protesters. I made it very clear that's not right. That's not -- that doesn't work. That adds no value.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, you said you'd thought about it.

WALKER: Well, he did.

(CROSSTALK)

VAN SUSTEREN: ... in the transcript, when you brought up the part about, basically, dirty tricks in the crowd, you said, Well -- he says, You -- as least you're quoted as saying, "You know, well, the only problem with that, because we thought about that, the problem that my only gut reaction that is right now, the lawmakers I've talked to have just completely had it with them. The public is not really fond of this."

WALKER: Right. Because in the end, the protesters have not overwhelming. They realized they've come in from other states...

VAN SUSTEREN: But you thought about it.

WALKER: We do. We had people contact -- I'd had people -- I even had lawmakers and others suggesting riling things up. What I pointed out increasingly, and I've said it all over the media, I've said it in all my interviews, is that we've had a civil discourse amongst people here in the state of Wisconsin. My great fear is that people come from other states -- my biggest fear was last Saturday, when you had protesters both for and against the bill coming in. I thought you were going to have a major collision between the two. And thank God, we didn't have any disturbance. I think that's because the people of the state are the ones driving this.

Hey, Republicans - is this not why you don't trust govt? Is this not evidence of why we need strong non govt institutions to fight off the abuses of govt regardless of the party in power?

Is this not a reason why we should support strong unions as well as other non govt groups like the NRA?

I may not agree with the NRA or the ACLU or many other such organizations on everything but it does the nation good to have these groups able to stand up to the powers that be.

How can a govt distrusting conservative still support Walker and his machine after he blundered and spilled the beans about how he really operate behind the scenes?

Moron, thinking about doing something and doing something are not the same thing. But please, go on punching yourself out about how evil it was that Walker "did" this. Good for Walker!!!

Moron, thinking about doing something and doing something are not the same thing.

So al-Qaeda can think of planning attacks to disrupt democracy all they want ,,,,,,,

Walker clearly said he would have carried out false flags on the Union protestors if the situation merited such a response.

In other words, Walker is capable of dirty tricks and only discounts dirty tricks based on the pay off rather than the morality.

So you small govt and govt distrusting conservatives were just BS about that? I mean does not the fact Gov Walker casually stating he game played a false flag on his citizens not validate this ideology of mistrust of the power of govt???? But here you are defending this.

See the article - highlighted in bold or better yet click the link to FOX and hear him say in his own words that he thought about planting disruptors amongst the protestors to sabotage as an option.

I am trying to figure out this self denial thing buy the Walker boosters on here. I am seeing people whose philosophy is that the govt does dirty tricks, govt power is a thing to fear, etc and we have this hint from Walker casually stating that he and his people thought about the idea of planting disruptors within the protestors thus violating their freedom of speech and assembly and they ignore or down play this.

That is why I left the GOP party and turned my back to the so called American conservative movement. This disconnect between their stated morality and ideology and their actual policies is beyond hypocritical.

That is why I think my points kind of throw them off balance.

If as small govt conservatives they don't trust the power of govt - then is it not a good thing there exists things like Unions to keep the govt in check?

We are no longer talking about $$$. The unions accepted the changes in benefits, etc. What is the at stake is collective bargaining which gives Unions such power and that is what is targeted by the govt and what is at stake here.

I figured it out in 1995 when I was at a Town Hall and, in an answer to a direct question by me, my rep told me that just because she campaigned on the Contract With America - yea I actually got suckered into that - it did not mean that she supported it.
