Kloppenburg SmackDown
Finally! The truth surfaces!
Think the media will cover this? (Maybe after the election...)
There just might be a glimmer of hope that this ad might get through to some of the bobble-headed union-istas who seem to be following the liberal plan for destroying Governor Walker without question. By aiding and abetting the Joanne Kloppenburg campaign, all many liberals are looking for is a vote on the Supreme Court from a judge that will make up the laws as she sees fit. That is WRONG! And hopefully others who saw the reprehensible pro-Kloppenburg ad this response is addressing, will realize how dishonest it truly is.
Lest we forget, Governor Walker was elected by the majority of Wisconsin voters a few months ago. Many Republican lawmakers were voted in, becoming the majority in the state assembly and senate, while the Dems were sent packing in November.
Yet, who doesn't want to allow the will of the people to be heard? The losers. Those now in the minority. The liberal game plan of obstructing, creating chaos, and spin is in full-play right now. We've witnessed it full-throttle in Madison. And now it is being used to distort a campaign for the oh-so-important Wisconsin Supreme Court justice race.
We must not allow the white noise to confuse people into doing what is right. We must elect a REAL judge - a judge with experience - a judge who will apply the laws - as Prosser has and will continue to do. He will NOT create and manipulate them to make a certain political party happy as Kloppenburg surely would.
The Democrats will stop at nothing - as evidence in the earlier disgusting Kloppenburg ad that this YouTube video addresses.
Re-elect Supreme Court Justice David Prosser on Tuesday, April 5th. If Prosser loses, nothing Walker proposes will be allowed to go through. The liberal activist judges will see to that. And last November will mean nothing.
ELECT PROSSER ON APRIL 5th!!!! GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

On the other side, there's that outburst he had against his boss, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson. Its unfortunate, but doesnt disqualify him from being the better candidate.

factual. Prosser did in fact refuse to prosecute a despicable child abusing Catholic
Priest, and as a result the priest went on to abuse countless others.
What Merryfield is saying about Prosser today doesn't square with what he said
about him just three short years ago: "It wasn't as if sexual abuse of a child
wasn't a felony back then," he said." The laws were on the books, and he should
have prosecuted.” I'd say Merryfield's credibility is somewhat tarnished.
I'd like to see the Journal Sentinal or politifact dig a bit deeper into this story. I'm
reserving judgment until all I get ALL the facts.

You really need to examine the original ad against Prosser. If you would, you'd realize how false it is. For example (a few points from the Charlie Sykes blog site/lakeshore67 comments):
1. At the beginning of the ad, it implies that the DA knew of 30 years of abuse by Feeney as of 1979 is wrong. Feeney's years of abuse were not discovered until 2002. No other victims were comfortable going public as of 1979. There is no record of any other victims going public until 2002 or later.
2. The local sheriff's department did do an investigation and interviewed several people. A Gannett reporter in the Appleton newspaper did a study of the Feeney reports years ago. Other than these two brothers, most victims kept quiet for 30 years before going to the police. The ad suggests that Prosser directed law enforcement not to investigate. That is false.
3. The sheriff's report indicates that the mom went to that agency first, not to Prosser as the ad claims. The sheriffs reports confirm several interviews from around 1979.
4. The map in the ad in a complete distortion of where Feeney abused victims. The reports were published by the Appleton newspaper years ago and the victims were only in the area of Green Bay to Oshkosh. The ad says he molested victims across the state which is false.
5. Both brothers have now come public against the ad. They suggest that the church was dishonest, not Prosser.
6. The church moved Feeney. Prosser did not control where Feeney was moved.
7. The police and prosecutor had much more evidence in 2002 to go forward. It sounds like the brothers were happy with that prosecution.
Again, another smackdown against the reprehensible, false ad put out on behalf of Joanee Kloppenburg. It is obvious that liberals NEVER apply the same standards to themselves that they expect others to follow. Hypocrites through and through.

I want all of you to pay 95% of my pension of which I know you do not have. Then I want you to pay for 90% of my cadilac health plan. Then I only want to work 180 days a year. Then everytime I get a hangnail, I want 1-3 hours a day so I can plan my classes. Every extra-cirricular activity that I coach, ( even though I don't have a clue how the game is played) I want a few thousand more dollars. I want about 20-30 sick days a year and if I don't use them I don't lose them. And to top it all off I want to retire at 55, keep roughly my same salary and benefits and go get a job I truly love. But before I leave, I'm going to become the biggest snickering idiot at every school function that I, and my fellow teachers can attend. And to top it all off, I want you to vote for this lady who has never been a judge, never been appointed a judge, and exists so she can nullify Scott Walker and those evil Republicans.
WE ALL BETTER MAKE SURE WE GET OUT TO VOTE ON TUESDAY!!!!!!

Pretty sad that some county judge in WI, that the democrats chose, can legislate form some low appointed bench. That prof. from MU who has been in the news from the Milw JS to the WSJ has pointed out that no county judge or local judge can change state law or decide which law or bill gets passed beofre it's passed.
It's so nice to see liberalsim slowly dying. Not even in the manner Judge Bork suggested!

Prosser nowhere ever, not from this article, from the litigation documents, or the victims, did he block litigation or defend the priest who molested these children. Even the victim sad otherwise on the new ad that is now available. What Prosser did was talk to the family and give his advice about a law suit that was not only going to be very damaging for the children and the family, evidence may not be enough to prosecute. If you ever visited a lawyer’s office to open a law suit, a good attorney will not take the case if he or she doesn’t have enough to win. And if the trial can cause even more damage to the victim, many lawyers will have you think twice. However, and if you take the time to read further, Prosser did in fact, along with other state judges, unanimously approved in 2007 that the state could sue the archdiocese if they knew about these crimes. Prosser only barred suits where no evidence was strong enough to convict. That’s a state SCJ’s job! That’s the type of balanced judge you want on the Supreme Court. And that is why the unions and many “I could care less how broke our state is” liberal democrats want anyone in that seat but Prosser.
The unions, especially, also don’t favor Prosser since he will uphold the WI law: That no county judge can legislate our state from the bench. The will of the people spoke and removed, in record numbers, the democrats that put WI in near bankruptcy. Why do so many liberals keep ignoring that fact?

In 2001, Utah made the collection of payments to union political funds optional. 95% of Utah school teachers decided not to pay. Indiana did what WI and Walker want to do: limit some of the gov union collective bargaining. Today, only 5% of Indiana gov workers pay union dues.
Now go back and watch, again, the short NEC union video I gave you. You will start to realize why unions true colors are showing. It's all and only about their union dues: The money!

Just like the Madison judge... total conflict of interest. Funny they don't realize how hypocritical they look.

they received a "pants on fire" rating for telling some fibs in their anti-
Kloppenburg ad.
I'm still trying to understand how Merryfield could have changed his tune so
dramatically. Very fishy.
Trucker, why would she have to recuse herself? The anti-Prosser ad that we're
discussing is from a third party, not the Kloppenburg campaign.

Allies of Prosser’s challenger, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, “want to use our pain for their own gain,” Troy Merryfield said.
“We’re being victimized again,” he said.
In a letter explaining his support for Prosser, Troy Merryfield also said that while working with the lawyer who prosecuted the case from 2002 to 2004, he found out that the special prosecutor was consulting with Prosser and that Prosser’s “insight” aided the case.
The letter also states that the Merryfield brothers remembered more details as adults and were more comfortable in 2004 testifying publicly about the abuse than they had been as preteens when Prosser was prosecuting the case.
“As a victim, I find the ad by the Greater Wisconsin Committee to be offensive, inaccurate and out of context,” he said.
