A lone Scott Walker supporter was arrested at a campaign rally for Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett today, where Bill Clinton also spoke. The man had been arguing with rally attendees since before the rally began, and held a sign that said "Support Scott Walker, Not Union Thugs."

Granted he seems to have been an ignorant, obnoxious teabagging asshole but I'm not sure that is a crime. BTW, the article states he is a swimming coach at UW Milwaukee. However the UWM staff directory does not seem to list him anywhere.

As a union member it amazes me how some working class people buy into the right wing propaganda and vote for the very people that will take measures to knock them down.
