Well over a year ago I wrote a post titled
The man democrats fear the most is already under attack by Obama
Walker has endured not one, but two secret “John Doe” probes into his campaign finances. Scurrilous democrats are utterly desperate to find something- anything- that can derail the Walker Express. They have been trolling for years unable to come with anything that will stick.
It is so rife with desperation that the democrat Nazis were issuing subpoenas to Walker allies in an effort to squeeze them until a judge shut that down.
Prosecutors in the John Doe investigation into spending and fundraising during the raucous Wisconsin recall elections were dealt a major procedural blow Friday, according to sources.
The five-county investigation remains open, but subpoenas issued in the probe to conservative political groups supporting Gov. Scott Walker were quashed, sources familiar with the development said. The ruling — which is sealed — raises First Amendment concerns about the subpoenas.
There is absolutely no question in my mind where this is coming from.
As Walker rises in prominence the left wing media has declared jihad on him. It’s no secret that Scott Walker didn’t finish college but you are going to hear that theme endlessly from the left over the next two years as if it was some kind of disqualifier. FWIW, here’s a list of billionaires who didn’t go to college.
Time magazine took a shot at letting people know in 2013 that Walker didn’t complete college.
Then came the ugly and wild assertions that Scott Walker was “kicked out” of college. According to Politifact Wisconsin the Wisconsin democrat party website ran this under its banner “The “Essence” of Dirty Tricks: Dropping out at Marquette”:
“Scott Walker was kicked out of student elections at Marquette University after masterminding a scheme that destroyed newspapers critical of him. Walker either dropped out or was forced out not long after.”
It was scrubbed since to read:
•Scott Walker ceased participation in student elections at Marquette University after masterminding a scheme that destroyed newspapers critical of him.
Because their accusation was a lie.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin scrubbed its website Wednesday of accusations that Gov. Scott Walker was kicked out of Marquette University and student elections there.
The move was in response to a PolitiFact Wisconsin investigation that found no evidence Walker was forced out of either.
In the story published Wednesday, PolitiFact reported that Marquette, with Walker’s permission, released a letter that said he left voluntarily in spring 1990 and was in good standing each term. That means no conduct issues, academic or otherwise, blocked his registration.
“While we still stand behind our sources, only Scott Walker can clarify what happened in his time at Marquette University, and we’ll afford the governor the respect of taking him at his word on this,” Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate told the Journal Sentinel. “Accordingly, we’ve updated our website.”
(emphasis mine)
Daily Kos said Walker was a
“very, very bad man”
The sniveling little cockroaches at Kos weren’t content with that. A recent article blares this:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker claims to have a master’s degree
Upon what was this based? On Walker saying:
“I’ve got a master’s degree in taking on the big government special interests, and I think that is worth more than anything else that anybody can point to.”
That’s pretty pathetic but I guess they know their audience.
One social media outlet posted this:
“Walker had a 2.3 GPA when he was asked to leave Marquette University for cheating. Is it any wonder he’s attacking teachers now?”
Then the NY Time weighed in about Walker’s “nasal, Wisconsin flatness”, twice bringing up inappropriate emails by someone on his staff and unsuccessfully trying to stick them to Walker. One staffer was fired and as for the other?
Mr. Walker said his staff now underwent an elaborate training process and was required to sign a code of conduct that includes strict ethics laws and a standard of professionalism. “We apply that across the board,” he said.
The Times conveniently reminds us of the KGB tactics of Wisconsin democrats:
Under Wisconsin law, no one involved is permitted to discuss the secret investigation.
It’s been going on for three years with nothing to show for it.
So now it’s the Washington Post’s turn to smear Walker. “As Scott Walker mulls White House bid, questions linger over college exit” screams the headline.
Only if you’re an intentionally ignorant putz it is and I am going to have to assume David Fahrenthold is one of them.
MILWAUKEE — Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.
In 1990, that news stunned his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.
To most of the Class of 1990 — and, later, to Wisconsin’s political establishment — Walker’s decision to quit college has been a lingering mystery.
Not even his friends at Marquette were entirely sure why he never finished. Some had heard that a parent had fallen ill, or maybe there was some financial strain. Others thought he had simply had enough of school.
There’s lots of innuendo too:
But in his classes, some professors said they never saw the same level of focus on schoolwork. In introductory French, for instance, Walker routinely barged into the room after the lesson had begun, loudly making excuses.
And more:
“I think I gave him a D-minus,” Boutet said, adding that he saw Walker years later, and the two laughed about the class. French, Boutet said, “was not his thing.”
Even in politics class, Walker could appear disengaged.
This is a most unoriginal rehash of past stories but it is necessary one in the left wing media jihad on Scott Walker. It’s a shame there wasn’t this level of scrutiny on Barack Obama’s drug dealers. Fahrenthold could have and should have included this from Politifact:
With that in mind, we asked Walker if he would allow Marquette to comment on his academic and conduct record. He did.
“Gov. Scott Walker was a student at Marquette from fall of 1986 until spring 1990 and was a senior in good standing when he voluntarily withdrew from Marquette,” the university said in a statement.
That means that no conduct issues, academic or otherwise, blocked Walker from continuing in school at the time of his departure, MU spokesman Brian Dorrington told us in early December 2013.
When we asked Dorrington whether any conduct issues were on Walker’s earlier school record, he said Walker would have to permit release of that information. Walker did so in response to our request.
“Governor Walker was in good standing each term while he was enrolled at Marquette University and when he left Marquette University,” Associate Vice Provost Anne Deahl said in a letter. “Governor Walker was not expelled or suspended from the university at any time.”
Fahrenthold also wrote this:
But before that streak came a string of defeats: the campus election, his failure to finish college and his first campaign for state office.
This is the sort of thing that often makes or breaks people. Walker is both a survivor and a winner, and that’s what scares the left wing media jihadists the most.

In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
In the world of progressives, conservatives are either stupid or evil. Nixon was evil, Ford, Reagan, and Palin were stupid…the MSM picks up this meme as runs with it. Nothing surprising here. Expect to see lots more of this as the Left goes on offense for Hillary and Bill’s third term…it’s about misdirection…the Clintons have too many skeletons in their closet to completely hide, so the MSM will go on offense against the GOP, especially all candidates not named Bush.
Before we get too serious about why Gov. Walker left college we need all of Obama’s transcripts from each college he attended.
Then we can talk.
This reminds me of how Dems made a big deal about Mitt Romney’s dog on the roof of his car for a trip UNTIL they realized Obama admitted EATING dog.
Maybe that’s why he can still solve problems without using the liberal playbook (which always makes the problems worse).
I’ll just bet Walker’s scholastic record is far and away better than Obama’s. All we have to do is compare them, side by side and then… ohhhhh…. that’s right.
Realclearpolitcs has Mr Scott Walker in a solid 6th place with 6% in the poll for the GOP nomination
Actually Scottie would not be running against Obama he will be running agaist Hillary
Why did Scottie leave? Why did he fail yo graduate. ? Was it drugs ? Or something worse. ?
@John:
Why did Obama leave Occidental, why did he never attend Columbia, who was his boyfriends at each. Why would you expect info to be released from either of Walker’s schools, we’ve never seen anything from Obama’s.
@Nanny:
@Redteam:
@Bill:
Excuse me for interrupting your Obama Derangement Syndrome session but my understanding is that Obama isn’t running in 2016.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Once again it’s swing and a miss for you. The point is the media did not vet obama. But they will be foaming at the mouth over any Republican to smear them. You can tell who they fear by who they go after.
Recall Chris Christie and bridge-gate? The left wing spittle was flying fast and furious over that for weeks and it all came to NOTHING.
Yet Obama had a BLANK resume and we were supposed to ignore that. The media sure did.
So how about you tell me about Obama’s college grades? How did get into those institutions? He’s a self admitted slacker so how did he do it? Links please.
Walker isn’t a lawyer, didn’t go to an Ivy League school, and has successfully gotten past two recall elections while still doing a good job running Wisconsin. In my eyes, that makes him a much better candidate, and probably a much better president than any of the liberal options. The only thing he lacks in my view is military experience. And that scares the shit out progressives…
@Ronald J. Ward:
Sorry – very weak attempt to deflect from the obvious comparison of the media’s investigative vigor into Walker’s college records versus their refusal to examine Obama’s before he was elected.
Interestingly, you leftists cannot even come up with an original term in your attempt to delegitimize criticism of Obama’s blatantly anti-American policies….you are so woefully unoriginal that you have to plagerize the “Bush Derangement Syndrome” descriptor that we used to describe the horrendously dishonest and rabid leftist venom against Bush.
@Ronald J. Ward:
That’s an interesting point to be made from a supporter of the candidate that would not talk about anything other than the record of George Bush…. when running against John McCain. In fact, during a debate, McCain had to slap Obama down pretty soundly for just that.
However, since you don’t understand things such as “context” and “equal treatment”, let me spell it out for you. Ronald.
Obama has been lauded as the most brilliant, elite, scholarly, former-professorial person on the planet. Leftist ass-suckers such as yourself make much of Obama’s Harvard conquests, all that magna cum laude urban legend and his Harvard Law Review editorial leadership (without actually editing anything). Not one second has been squandered by the left to verify a single detail of this legendary resume’, yet here we have another left wing obsession on something they would just as soon not question of their hood ornament Chief Executive.
If one is to criticize Walker for not finishing college, they must also answer for why they think it commendable to (according to the rumor) have graduated from Harvard, with honors aplenty, yet be such a failure at life. For, without college, Walker has already achieved more positive results as governor than Obama has as President.
Now, I can completely sympathize with you for wanting to totally forget about Obama, and we will soon, but what cannot be ignored is the damage he has wrought. That is going to have to be repaired, so whatever candidate the left allows the media to select for them to run for President is going to have to answer for that damage and how they propose to set it aright. In one form or another, the Democrat is going to have to answer the question, “How are you going to un-ruin the nation after 8 years of the worst President in history and certainly the worst we ever want to see?”.
So, when idiots ask questions such as “why didn’t Walker finish college?”, you can rest assure yourself that the response is liable to be “why didn’t you worry about that 8 years ago and prevent the nation from entering into this excruciatingly long period of failure and misery?” You might have an answer ready.
Oh, that’s right. You can’t answer the difficult questions.
@John: He was to busy thumping union thugs and they certainly don’t go to college!!
@Ronald J. Ward: And President Bush hasn’t ran for even longer yet you still bang him for everything Obama has taken credit for fixing!!
The point is, if media vetting died before Obama got elected, why resurrect it now?
Obama not only got “D’s” at Occidental, couldn’t string together a sentence whose subject and verb matched while ”editor” of Harvard’s Law Review, smoked pot all through high school and college, did cocaine, too, even such a poor student he needed tutors in law school…..yet we learned very little of that before his election.
He got a pass on each of the above.
Scott Walker wasn’t interested in class.
So he quit.
I saw a TV show that was so far off in trying to slime Gov. Walker that they conflated his life with that of a singer who had the same name!!!
Where are objective reporters?
Where is proportion?
Honestly, the crap the lefty media outside of Wisconsin is slinging is really nothing compared to the daily barrage of liberal whining we have to endure in Wisconsin. You want to see a dose of it, just read one Wednesday edition of The Capital Times out of the Mad City. It’s a Scott Walker bash fest every week.
With the amount poo flung at Walker here in Wisconsin that liberals haven’t been able to make stick, he’ll be able to handle the out of state know it alls with ease.
Many Wisconsin conservatives just hate to lose him here in the state because there is no doubt we have more work to do.
@Ronald J. Ward:
That’s true, but Walker is due every indulgence given to the current dictator.
@Ronald J. Ward:
true, but idiots are still voting.
@Nanny:
Nanny, apparently that was some of his best work. I’m surprised he let those grades get out, but it being his best work, he had to show something. Then he bypassed the last 2 years of his degree and went past GO on his way to Harvard Law, which he got into on a monetary appointment. No undergraduate degree is required so Obama fit that non-requirement nicely. Then he got through Harvard law primarily by being appointed as editor of law review due to his race, not ability, where he followed his usual policy of accomplishing nothing of note. Then based solely on his appointment to the law review because of his race he was designated Magna Cum Law. High grades not required at Harvard for Magna designation, strictly political honor. Once his records were examined by the Illinois Bar, he was prohibited from practicing law. Quite an honor, eh? Meanwhile, while all his records are sealed, no one is having problems getting Scott Walker’s records. Wonder why? Maybe ‘someone’ wants his records to be known. Conservatives don’t have a choice.
He didn’t.
We have an Obama nominated now a Supreme Court justice who was personally responsible for keeping his grades and records under wraps.
It was a retired professor at Occidental who outed Obama as a “D” student.
He was in one of that professor’s classes and barely passed.
@Common Sense:
The name, “Common Sense”, is a joke, right?
I understand the festered hatred you and yours are obsessed with forbids you to grasp reality but in a nut shell, Bush took a sound economy handed to him from the Clinton admin and turn it into an economy in ruins which he dumped into Obama’s lap. Obama has made huge gains in rising above the Bush ashes dispite the admitted efforts of the GOP to sabatage his every effort.
Now, you can slice it, dice it, pound sand, or spin that reality all you like but history will be far kinder to Obama than what you and yours want to admit.
@Bill: I’ve said before and I’ll say again the GWB beat John McCain twice, once in 2000 and again in 2008. He simply not only couldn’t distance himself from the abject failures of Bush but he was promoting the same failed policies. Democrats were able to successfully sell the concept of McCain as “another 4 years of Bush”. How or why this pertains to Walker is unclear. But then again, a rational argument or making a lick of sense has never been you long suit.
@drjohn:
A POTUS candidate is due nothing and his/her every move is subject to scrutiny.
Linking Hillary to Obama might be a good strategy but giving Walker a pass for being a drop out because, uh, “Obama”, well, good luck with that.
I don’t know who picked out the picture for this article and what “higher up” okayed it, but it is VERY poor taste!!!!
I got as far as the phrase “Democrat Nazis” and started laughing. Ever hear of Godwin’s law?
@Redteam is lying about Obama’s legal ability to practice law. It has been explained many times to you that there had never been any bar complaint filed or threatened. He went on inactive status as have thousands before him and thousands after, when he entered a profession that does not require a license, so that he did not have to keep paying the annual licensing fee and … Probably more important … take 10 or more hours of continuing legal education classes a year.
You know this. We all know you know this. When you repeat the lie that he was forced to quit, we know that you are just being partisan, and not very good at it.
Criticize Obama on any policy you want, or even (and this is a stretch) write something positive about the guy at the heart of this article (Scott Walker, ever hear of him), or don’t. It’s up to you.
The article reveals journalistic investigation of Walker’s college days that is many times more thorough than the virtually non-existent scrutiny of Obama’s university days. No one can find any college friends of Obama outside of his dope-smoking circle, or any professors/instructors who even remember him. Grades? Try finding a grade in any course for Obama – or even a list of courses he took.
The left’s “journalists” are complicit stooges, worthy of nothing but raucous mockery.
@Ronald J. Ward: No joke like you!! Once again you obamabots never fail at your moronic blame of Bush for the things President Obola has taken credit for of fixing. Quick history lesson. When your Black Messiah was elected he had control of the legislature, what happened?? Oh right, he ran for office on a lie and a promise of free healthcare!! Remember, if you like your doctor and/or health insurance you can keep them “period”!! Remember the election cycle of 2010 when Republicans took back the House in historic numbers!! Why, the lie of Obamacare and it wasn’t even implemented!! Remember the election cycle of 2014?? Republicans won control of the Senate based upon the reality of Obamacare and it still hasn’t been fully implemented!! Obamacare has proven to be a disaster for not only Democrats but for all tax paying Americans!! Now as far as Obama and winning the second election cycle, he won because he still is lying to America!! He has played Santa Claus and Robin Hood by buying votes and giving away taxpayer dollars to do so!! Tell me what our national debt was when he took office and what it is now!! Making any sense to you yet?? Didn’t think so!! Any common sense explanation to someone as out of touch with reality with you is a waste of time!! Greggie must be a friend of yours or is this really Greggie with another name??
@Ronald J. Ward: It’s Bush Derangement syndrome. The Obama variety does not exist.
All the lib trolls here are mirroring what they fear. Now Obama is in the seat, and they can’t bear to believe he’s the literal incarnation of the faux persona generated by the news.
If there is an Obama Derangement Syndrome, it’s merely the inability to admit that you were wrong to vote for this clown.
@Nathan Blue: You can always tell when the moderator has hit the bottle too hard when all the sockpuppets chant simultaneously in incoherent froth spewing gibberish.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Still on the lemming march I see.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Yeah, Ronald, that economy was so healthy, what was the first thing that happened? A recession, you say? That would be correct!!! Then, Clinton handed Bush 9/11, since Clinton ignored the threat bin Laden and al Qaeda posed and did nothing but get noggin in the Oval Office. Followed by another, deeper, recession.
Obama had an economy decimated by liberal social engineering. $7.5 trillion in debt has not repaired the damage. Obama proves liberals cannot manage an economy.
Read you own statement again. I don’t think you did when you wrote it. You are stating, right out in the open for everyone to read, that it was perfectly OK to lay whatever faults of Bush on McCain, yet there is no reason to mention Obama failures in the current discussion. Hello?
Liberals love to lie their way through conversations, campaigns and arguments, then when the subject of “well, before you said this….” it suddenly become immaterial.
You next Democrat candidate (the left wing media has not decided who that will be yet) is going to have to either support Obama’s failures and successfully blame them on Fox or Bush or claim they never agreed with it and will do things 180 degrees different (which everyone will know is a lie).
See how badly you don’t get it? NO ONE makes the point that “Walker dropped out because of Obama”, the point is that you silly, blind, sycophantic liberals just believe whatever wonderfulness is propagandized about His Highness, Lord Obama, Savior of the Universe, smacking down any questions about his scholastic records, which either don’t exist or are kept secret (so as not to discourage non-geniuses with is resounding success, no doubt) as “racist”. However, since some honest people don’t hide their past, liberals take that, lie about it and morph it into criticism.
But, because of the liberal penchant for dishonesty, it is kind of hard to compare Walker’s achievements (public) to Obama’s achievements (secret, without evidence, mysterious, doubtful). So, the question is, how do liberals have the temerity to criticize Walker when, obviously, you don’t really even care about it? For, if you did, you would have verified Obama’s “achievements” before you collectively went down on him.
I think you are beginning to sense what is coming. There is going to be an invigorating retelling of every Obama failure (and there are two more years of failure to go! We can already add Yemen and the Marine detachment ridden out of town on a rail to his resume’). Just as Obama did in ’08 (his level of success is difficult to grade since the corrupt media protected him while attacking his opponents), Republicans are going to put Democrats on the spot to either condone the failure and misery or condemn it and state how they will correct it. I think you can see just how messy that is going to get and all the embarrassing tap dancing liberals are going to be doing to keep from denigrating the sacred memory of His Wonderfulness, blaming all his failures on those mean old minority Republicans that somehow ruined all the greatness he was trying to do.
Should be quite a show, Ronald. You’ll need lots of Kleenex.
You keep using that word.
I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Famous internet sock puppets:
Glenn Greenwald.
Organizing For America’s 80+% phony posters.
Obama’s Facebook’s 80+% phony followers.
@Ronald J. Ward:
It would be nice if once in a while you connected with reality. Clinton left a bubble that was deflating faster than a Patriot’s football. Clinton also let Wall St screw investors with unregulated derivatives and left Bush with Bin Laden, having refused to kill him ten times and refusing to take Bin Laden into custody in 1996 when Sudan offered him up.
Clinton was too busy getting his sausage cleaned to worry about Bin Laden.
@DrJohn: Well, at least your sockpuppets come by their delusional interpretation of history and argumentative buffoonery honestly.
Your cherry picked screed builds a case that would might make for a good sitcom. Clinton crashed a solid economy and led us into wars, Bush repaired those issues and brought us wealth, jobs, and peace, and then Obama promptly undid Bush’s works of wonders.
And you, with a straight face I’m assuming, talk down to me about connecting the dots of reality.
@Nanny: Let me be clear. I find it difficult to believe that so many different individuals post here with the same basic personalities, the same organized spin techniques, the same illogical rants, the same deep seeded and festered bigoted hatred, the same abject ignorance of politics while arguing politics, the same fraudulent argumentative styles, the same distracting methods, that you all seem to disappear for extended time yet with show up in groves within minutes apart- sometimes on forums that are days old (I mean, how or why would so many monitor so many postings), and U could go on and on.
It’s as if you don’t even try, as if reality is absolutely irrelevant, to every damn one of you.
Get it yet?
@Ronald J. Ward: I guess if you are too stupid to actually remember the events, you could research the chronology of them instead of lying and hoping no one will notice.
So, if 52% (as of yesterday) of the American people disapprove of the failure Obama has wrought upon the nation, they are all just the same person?
You look kind of silly.
@Ronald J. Ward:
In other words, I’m right.
@Bill: It’s a hopeless exercise to try and educate this ignorant fool!! That’s why we have the mess we do now. Sometimes I think Greggie has gotten a new name with this guy!!
@Ronald J. Ward:
“Project We Much” Ron?
@Ronald J. Ward: Yeah, I get it.
You’re not worth wasting energy replying to.
You suffer from delusions.
@Nanny: 100% right on the money.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Oh, you mean like you, Larry and Rich Wheeler all sound like the same person? Or, like John, Greg and This one post in similar cascades?
It’s called “Projection,” Ron. It seems to be just ONE of your mental malfunctions. Seek professional help, immediately. Your Obamacare should cover your institutionalization.
@rewinn: 22 rewinn, you should check sources other than Snopes and Fact check, which are both in the tank for Obama. for example:
There are many sources on the net that have the true story. Obama’s was ‘voluntarily’ suspended because of lies on his application.
@Ronald J. Ward:
why do you have puppets in your socks? I suspect if you keep accusing the blog admin of allowing one person to use multiple handles that your butt will be booted off.
You don’t seem to understand that there are really lots of conservatives that have brains.
@rewinn:I do notice that you didn’t challenge my statement that Obozo doesn’t have a college degree (undergraduate) and only has an affirmative action degree from Harvard Law School.
@Redteam:
Well, actually I do. Consideration of the law of averages is where you tip your hand.
@DrJohn:
One doesn’t critique the script of Gilligan’s Island for what’s “connected with reality”. One either laughs at it or dismisses it as utterly stupid. Which category your flawed argument falls under is unclear.
@Ronald J. Ward: Yep the majority of Americans said to the Democrats in the Legislature step aside idiots!!
The majority of American voters didn’t vote in the last election. They said nothing at all.
@Common Sense: Can I buy a comma?
@Ronald J. Ward:
You can shove your false accusation of racism. Opposition to Obama’s insane leftist policies has nothing to do with his race, no matter how much hyperventilating shrieking you delusional leftists employ. All it shows is that you have no ability to refute the well founded criticism of Obama’s marxist-based policies, so you fall back on idiotically false charges of racism.
Blaming Bush for the collapse of the housing industry bubble completely ignores that Clinton’s policy of forcing the mortgage industry to produce mortgages for the financially unqualified (or face false charges of racism – that old leftist canard again) set up the financial collapse that happened during the end of Bush’s term. Obama has increased the deficit from $10.8 trillion to over $18 trillion, led to 48-plus million on food stamps, and a workforce participation rate back to what it was during the Carter years. Obama’s first 4 years in office we had over a trillion dollar annual deficits, and it wasn’t until republicans gained back control of the house that those deficits began dropping below 800 billion per year, despite increased tax revenues. Obamacare was falsely portrayed as decreasing federal expenditures, as we are now seeing increasing projected deficits from this abysmal government attempt at taking over healthcare.
Notice how NONE of those criticisms of Obama’s economic record had any mention of his race.
@Greg: NOT voting is NOT supporting the status quo Greggie!! Check the results and tell me Democrats won!!
@Ronald J. Ward: You can but it won’t fix your warped obamabot brain!!
