Sarah's Folly: Palin Invades Wisconsin To Rally Union Busting Troops

Sarah Palin is being sent to Wisconsin by the Tea Party in a desperate attempt to get more than 200 people for a pro-Walker, anti-union rally. Freedom Works (Koch brothers) last attempt to bus in bodies didn’t work out so well, so this time they’re bringing in their heavy hitter; the only national right wing “politician” ignorant enough to involve themselves Scott Walker’s anti-union debacle. But don’t let it be said that Sarah Palin isn’t doing something for the cause; while she is irrelevant politically, she is still capable of stirring up the opposition, and in this case, that means the pro-union forces. Thank you, Sarah Palin.

But Sarah Palin attaching herself to the anti-union call is the equivalent of waving a red flag at a bull, because if there is anything Palin has managed to do consistently, it’s raise money and generate motivation for the Democrats.

Palin might have wondered why no one else in her party was showing up in Madison; it’s because they can’t afford to be tainted with the anti-union brush of Scott Walker’s inept and now debunked “fiscal” governing. She may have wondered why President Obama did not insert himself into a cause he certainly supports; President Obama understands that when your enemy is shooting themselves in the foot, you don’t interfere and you certainly don’t show up to motivate the opposition.
