Obenshain: Wisconsin Teacher Protests Are "Reminiscent Of Greece."

On the February 16 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Republican strategist Kate Obenshain stated:

We see something that's going on, say, in Wisconsin, where they have the rallies for the teachers, where teachers are yanking kids out of the classrooms and calling in sick -- totally lying - which is reminiscent of Greece and England.

RedState: "Leftist Union Bosses Also Know They May Be Losing Their
Grip On Taxpayers' Throats And They Are Desperate To Keep It There."

A February 17 post on RedState discussed the union protests in Wisconsin, as well as others in Ohio and Indiana, and stated:

As labor activists strategize for 'class war,' Leftist union bosses also know they may be losing their grip on taxpayers' throats and they are desperate to keep it there. They're not going to let go easily either.

[RedState.com, 2/17/11]


This funny because the GOP was so supportive of the Tea Party protests that were organized by the Republican Party.

Now a spontaneous demonstration arose because a dictatorial governor issues a decree and thren threatens to call out the National Guard if anyone resists,  the shoe is on the other foot.

Why does Fox News go schizoid? It believes the GOP owns America and doesn't want union folks messing with their man.
