Poor ol’ Mike Tate. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel isn’t agreeing with him, and now he is sad. Full of crap, but sad nonetheless.
Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate following the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel endorsement today of Scott Walker.
“It saddens, but does not surprise, that the state’s largest newspaper would continue to support the most divisive, and possibly most corrupt, governor in Wisconsin history.
“The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has supported Scott Walker in its editorial and news pages for years, has seriously underplayed the scandals of his various administrations, has treated the historic recall movement with small-minded contempt and will, therefore be judged harshly if remembered at all, in Wisconsin’s history.
“One need only read the Milwaukee Sentinel editorials AGAINST the Civil Rights Movement and FOR Joe McCarthy to remember how silly and reactionary a news organization can look in the hindsight of the ages.
“And so it will be with Scott Walker, who has been treated with the embarrassing kindnesses of the Journal Communications empire, which props up the Walker agenda with a daily and unrelenting stream of propaganda via right-wing extremists Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner.
When you get done drying your tears, I got three words for ya, Mikey – Toughen up, buttercup.
