Looks like the bank that was propped up by the taxpayers also propped up Walker is facing a mass exodus....including Union member investments.

Looks like Walker was walking on taxpayer subsidized campaign contributions - how wonderfully hypocritical of him.

As the protesting spirit spreads in Wisconsin, one tactic that union members are now adopting is to take aim at institutions that have donated heavily to Governor Scott Walker.

Members of the Wisconsin firefighter's union set out for a local branch of the M & I Bank on Thursday to withdraw their personal savings. The UpTake, which describes itself as "a citizen-fueled, online video news gathering organization," reports that "on Thursday members of the union withdrew close to $200,000 from the bank."

well at least they don't need to brandish guns to make a point

"After working families gave Marshall and Ilsley Bank (M&I) a $1.7 billion bailout in 2008," the site explains, "their executives did an about face and funded Governor Scott Walker's attack on our right to collectively bargain.

cool about the bank boycott thing, but that video is obviously heavily edited and taken out of context.

He was debating David Duke on that show, here's more info: http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/63702692.html

from that article Walker - a Republican candidate for governor in 2010 - said he told the former Ku Klux Klan leader that "there was no place in the party for guys like Duke."


Walker is a big enough jerk, no need to spread falsehoods that undermine the integrity of the people fighting against him.
