Demonstrators in Wisconsin made it impossible for the elected representatives to get into the capitol and do their job.
It is apparently the first time the public has ever succeeded in shutting down the functioning of a state government. Six million dollars worth of violence, vandalism, and damage. Who is surprised at this?
Police said they "pleaded" with the demonstrators to leave. Pleaded? I've never heard a police officer plead. I don't think the spokesman was lying, I believe they really were pleading.
How come no one carried them out of the building? I can remember a time when demonstrators blocked access to a third-trimester-abortions clinic. They were beaten and their arms were broken and they were dragged, broken and bleeding, into the paddy wagons.
As Prager said, there is NO CHANCE that the press will portray these people as the thugs that they were.

I'm delighted to learn that the interviewee was Charles Sykes. I've read some of his writing, notably this one:
His newer book, released in 2007, should be just as good:
And just based on the excellence of his writing I'm recommending both his other books:
and another of his books for which Prager interviewed him:
He's really good, and I especially recommend the first one above.
