Wisconsin Democrats voting the graveyard on Walker recall?

[UPDATE] Before anybody starts complaining that I shouldn’t have taken this calendar entry seriously, I’d just like to note: as of 10:54 AM EST, so did up to 71 Wisconsin Democrats. One wonders how many people they’ll have sign up to conspiracy to commit election fraud before the plug is pulled? – I’m hoping for three digits, myself.

This almost has to be a fake.  Surely the Democratic party of Wisconsin isn’t THAT brazen.

Surely?

Cemetery Petition Drive (Recall Petition Signing)

We will be taking names from headstones and making recall petitions with the names we find. We will  start in Holy Angels Cemetary on Decorah and go from there.

The goal is 10,000 names – we can do this!

Here’s a screenshot for when this goes away – which it will, and probably within the hour.  Which would be true either way, I suppose.  Meanwhile, here’s an anti-recall ad from Scott Walker.

Remember, folks: Yes on Recall means Yes on Higher Property Taxes.  Because the Left resents it when you take your tax money away from them.  And that remains true, even if the cemetery thing isn’t.

    … and 71 individuals have signed up to help take names off of tombstones for a Chicago-style Zombie vote.

    Good grief. And the irony of starting at “Holy Angels” is, I’m certain, lost on them.

    it, but thankfully my better judgement intervened.

    Looks like anyone can post an event for the Wisconsin Democratic Party. Not sayin’ that this would be honorable, but just to see if it could be done, I went here

    http://grassroots.wisdems.org/page/event/create

    and played around to create an event. Hey, the website says ANYONE can create an event.

    I stopped when they asked for my email address because this game was fun, but there comes a time when ENOUGH time is invested in causing commotion :)

    Why doubt their brazenness? Stranger things have happened.

    I am NOT a young person. In order to keep the blood pressure down, I approach the absurd as a point of research or curiousity. I listen to the believer in the apparently absurd. I don’t understand for example why this site is so hard on “birthers”. If it makes someone happy to pursue conspiracy theories, why begrudge them? Many people believe many unlikely things and maybe one percent of the time they are right. Even if they are not, if their conspiracy theory keeps them busy and out of the bars, it serves a purpose.

    . . .but I’m still laughing about what I COULD have posted.

    – PATRIOT spelled backwards.

    Damn Tea Party/Koch Brothers.

    Is a Death Certificate with Wisconsin internment a valid form of voter ID?

    they’d just give the cemetery address as the meeting point…
    but this so smells of parody turning into something else… or not… the sad part is I can’t quite call it the parody it seems to be, but think it is, because of who is being poked at here… it just could be… (which is the brilliance of it and all)…

    Here’s what I got.. Thankfully, you have tape.

    Invalid Event URL

    The URL you clicked references an event that does not exist. This event may have existed at one time but been subsequently deleted.

    Sorry ’bout typing “tape”, meant to say “quote”.

    Thankfully you have the quote.

    Have it include a stipulation which makes it illegal to discriminate against dead people. A seance can be the venue by which they cast their votes…in the presence of a registered poll worker, of course.

    What? It simply codifies regular Democrat Party voting practices. I am all about being bi-partisan and building bridges.

    Maybe the Dems can take the names down of the thousands they had vote for Obama en the 2008 elections in Wisconsin. At least they are alive!

  • acat

    push through a voter ID bill while the Dems were vacationing in Rockford, IL?

    I know it was proposed, I forget if they actually did it. I presume it’ll be tied up in the courts for a decade, but …

    For arguments sake, let’s give the dems the benefit of the doubt that was meant to be parody. Assume the party was never really going to go through with this and meet up at a cemetery. This isn’t funny and is still threatens democracy because democrat activists (unions) will take this idea and run with it.

    I no longer want to hear from Democrats that Voter ID law (such as was proposed in Indiana a few years ago, is unnecessary and discriminatory. Today, the Democrats have proven Voter ID is absolutely critical to maintaining the integrity of the electoral system and the fairness of the election results.

    We have a hard time recruiting poll watchers for one day out of the year. Do Republicans now have to recruit cemetery watchers 365 days out of the year?

  • carolina

    The dems are still complaining about it.
