The conservative media and blogosphere have erupted in outrage from the news that Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hiter have signed the recall petition against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker!
Wisconsin ABC 12 (12/14/2011):
“Mickey Mouse, Adolf Hitler Allowed on Wis. Recall Petitions”
MADISON, Wis. — The signatures of Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hitler will be counted on recall petitions targeting Gov. Scott Walker as long as they are properly dated and include a Wisconsin address, the board charged with reviewing the petitions was told Tuesday.
Suspicious signatures will be noted when the Government Accountability Board reviews the petitions, but reviewers will look to see that signatures are accompanied by a Wisconsin address and are dated as having been signed during the circulation period, board elections specialist David Buerger said.
“We will flag them, but we will not strike them without challenge,” Buerger said after being asked whether Mickey Mouse’s signature would be counted. He noted that in previous recall petitions, Adolf Hitler’s name was struck because the address given was in Germany, not because of the name itself.
It’s laughable that the journalist propagandist who wrote this article somehow forgot to mention in the headline and the lead paragraph that the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board was responding to a speculative question, and that Mickey and Hitler have not actually signed the petition.
