Republican Politicians Banned From Labor Day Parade In Wisconsin

[JoeB131]

Let me throw this out.

The biggest problem with unions is that they've overstayed their welcome.

I make the comparison to feminists. Feminists got 95% of what they wanted, but they didn't just say, Mission Accomplished and go away. They still were hammering on about men being pigs, and eventually just became shills for lesbians and abortionists. And most modern women, having reaped the true benefits of their efforts, where you have women managers and CEO's and no one thinks twice about it, just look at these crazy people screaming about how evil men are oppressing them.

Unions are much the same. They acheived most of what they set out to do. They got rid of child labor, six day work weeks, unsafe working conditions, etc. A lot of what they wanted they got enshrined into law. Now they are so used to being opposed to ANYTHING management wants on principle that they seem quite irrational.

Wisconsin is a case in point. They were going to fight for their seniority and their pensions and their pay, totally oblivious to the fact the state can't afford it. And people looked at them like they were crazy.

We need to repeal all of FDR Labor and Union Laws. Every one of them

Yeah fuck all those hard working tax paying Americans.

who needs their votes.

Soon you will understand completely who needs their votes.

Unions can't ban anybody, it is a public event, I wish I lived in Wisconson I'd be there with a pro Walker sign.

They can't prevent them from attending, just marching in it. Happens all the time...just ask the gays that want to march in the St. Patty's Day Parade every year.

 

[Seawytch]

It's a public event.... and, if it's funded from public funds.... then the Unions have no right to tell anyone that they cannot participate.... that's the American way. Don't like the American way.... fuck off and live elsewhere, ROAD soldier.

Tell that to the gays that want to march in the St Patrick's Day parade every year, but are denied.

 

[Truthmatters]

unions being sore losers and cry babies.

Its just so cute to see the right use 2nd grade taunts in an attempt to win debates.

Piss off American voters and you get what you deserve.

A group of Wisconsin union officials has voted to ban Republican politicians from a local Labor Day parade, underscoring how partisan the state has become in the wake of this year's clashes over collective bargaining rights.

The Marathon County Central Labor Council, which sponsors the parade, includes some 30 local unions.

Discrimination, Bias, Profiling, Klan Gathering, right?

 

[Seawytch]

Oh look...the Labor Day organizers have the Supreme Court on their side...

The United States Supreme Court, in a rare 9-0 decision, ruled that parades are protected under the First Amendment, and as such, the state could not compel organizers to include groups with messages the organizers disfavored. Justice Souter, writing for the Court, noted, "The state court's application [of the public accommodation law] however, had the effect of declaring the sponsor's speech itself to be the public accommodation."

"Under the free speech guarantees of the Federal Constitution's First Amendment, (1) the law is not free to interfere with speech for no better reason than promoting an approved message or discouraging a disfavored one, however enlightened either purpose may strike the government, and (2) disapproval of a private speaker's statement does not legitimize use of the government's power to compel the speaker to alter the message by including one more acceptable to others."

The Court also observed, "Assuming a parade to be large enough and to be a source of public benefits, apart from the parade's expression, that would normally justify application to the parade of a mandated access provision, a group can nonetheless, consistent with the free speech guarantee of the First Amendment, be refused admission to the parade as an expressive contingent with its own message just as readily as a private club can exclude an applicant whose manifest views are at odds with a position taken by the club's existing members."​

Yeah, an Anti-Government Labor Day Parade. Good one. Will they be checking ID's on the street too? How about outgrowing the hypocrisy after getting over your tantrums.

Hummmmm, looking at the OP again, only politicians who have "demonstrated support for workers' rights are" invited. Most conservatives support right to work laws so they would be pro-worker, just not necessarily pro union workers, right?

You'd think. However, union shills don't support non-union workers.

I once asked a union supporter who had more right to work: A non-union American citizen, or a union illegal alien.

He refused to answer.

Of course, that answered the question.

 

[bodecea]

I'm curious how it's possible to pre-ban people from a public event. That said, it's probably safer for GOP politicians to stay away anyway. It's not like unions are adverse to using violence when they feel it's necessary.

I too am curious about this...unless they mean the politicians that sit in open cars waving to the crowd as they go down the street. Personally, I think it's ridiculous to pick and choose which political group you invite....let them come...let them be cheered or boo'd as the spectators wish.

I wonder if that was the ruling over the Boston (or was it NYC) St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Funny... last time I checked, the unions FAILED to take back the legislature for the Dimocrats with their pathetic recall efforts, in spite of spending $40 million on it.

I'd say the voters of Wisconsin spoke alrighty

Their decision to exclude the ANTI LABOR representatives from a Labor Day parade has the 9-0 support of the Supreme Court. Whine, cry, rail and spit all you want to, but it's there in black and white.

I'm not bothered by it at all. I think it is comical.

 

[Ernie S.]

Their presence is simply going to spoil the facking event so its best that they stay away.

I now understand your motivation for joining the Army.... it sure as hell didn't have anything to do with defending the Constitution.

Idiot.

Use your brain and have some common sense, if most of the people are going to boo and jeer them why should they show up? they can hold their own event, who's stopping them?

You and TDM keep showing up here, don't you"

 

[Nosmo King]

Why do Wisconsin Republicans WANT to appear in Labor Day parades? Will they be carrying bags of salt to rub into wounds? Will they have a gleeful smirk on their faces as they parade celebrating organized labor?

Here's a hint to Republicans: avoid Schadenfreude. avoid Labor Day parades and try to understand what self respect is.

Because they have the right to boo and jeer them just as they have the right to boo and jeer at KKK parades. And for the same reason.

I recall lots of booing and jeering from leftist whack jobs at various public events.

Imagine the Klan marching along side Dr. King from Selma to Montgomery. Why would they do that? Because they supported Dr. King and the civil rights movement?

Now, put a Wisconsin Republican in a Labor Day parade. Is there any difference?

Who wants to march with people that want you destroyed? Seems it's them that's the problem. Republicans are so "thin skinned". In fact, their skin is so thin you can see where their heart should be.

and you are so thin skinned we can see the shit your a so full of .......................SHITSKIN !!
