Climate Activists Dupe Scott Walker Into Posing With Fake Koch Brothers Check

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) mistakenly took a photo with two climate activists holding a novelty check for $900 million. The check was made to appear as if it had been signed by the billionaire Koch brothers as a contribution to the "Presidency."

Sabrina Siddiqui, a reporter for The Guardian, captured the moment:

Are there any competent adults left in the GOP? This is why you STAGE photo-ops.
Didn't the Bachman hot dog eating memes teach them a lesson? :roll:

Some Eco-tards flipped over signs to make it appear as though someone is stupid enough to believe that someone would give them a check for nearly a billion dollars. So now anyone wishing to take a photo with a presidential candidate or some other politician will now have to be searched to make sure they don't have stupid signs.
 
Ah...the election season. Finally...after 6.5 years of hiding in the slime and under the floorboards during the Obama admin, the 'climate activists' get to surface. If a GOP candidate is elected I have no doubt we will once again see mass climate protests and daily expressions of outrage. If another democrat is elected...they will go right back into the sludge. What a quandary for them to be not only cause driven morons but also mindless partisan hacks.

Lol. So it's your expert opinion that no democrat has talked about climate change in the past 7 years, and that it's all just a ploy to harass republicans?

Of course climate change isn't real, it's obviously a liberal conspiracy to attack honest, hard working Americans.

:lamo Try again. The comment wasnt about the democrat politicians. It wasnt about Obama. It wasnt about the GOP. The comment is a direct statement on 'climate hactivists', who are an ugly cross breed of mindless ideologue and moronic brain-dead partisan hack.

There is simply no good way to handle this. Staged photo-ops end up being called out for being fake, just as those willing to dupe a candidate into an unfavorable photo-op also end up being called out to criticize the candidate. It is question of motivations where no matter what the candidate does, someone is there to pounce on a 'gotcha' moment of some regard.

The real lesson here is how low people are willing to go just to make a point, and it is one of many reasons our political process is becoming such a mockery.

Nice try though.

Correct. In the Obama instance, hes the moron actually speaking the words. In this incident, a douchebag tricked Walker by turning a sign around at the last moment in a staged event. You are correct...they dont compare at all.

I can't speak for Climate Change activists like the ones in the article. But I'm sure they pulled a prank on Governor Walker not because he was a Republican, but rather because of Walker's actions against policies that would protect the environment.

Its funny how you say you cant speak for them...then do.

History (and their actions) speak rather clearly.

Are you implying that this group explicitly targets Republicans for the sake that they are Republican and not because this particular Republican has been avidly against policies that protect the environment?
 
trolling him with a fake check is weak. i hate it when activists do dumb **** like this. as if it's going to hurt his chances. derp

challenge him on his anti-labor record and the danger that he poses to workers, which most of us are. while everyone is looking at Trump, this ****ing asshole could actually win.
 
This is the second time Walker was punked. The first time was couple years back when he took a call and talked to whom he thought David Koch. Revealing stuff. And this is a guy that wingers are Googly eyed over?

I know, right, one has an R by his name so he's really stupid. Should I post more, I merely gave an example that **** happens.

Cruz or Walker winning would be excellent for America and it's workers.

thanks, i needed a chuckle. Walker is one of the most anti-labor candidates that i've ever seen, and Cruz is a drooling idiot.

I'm stating all environmental groups lose their ****ing minds and protest like its a full time job...when it is a Republican administration in the office. It goes back to the Clinton admin. When did people start freaking out about failure to sign the Kyoto protocols? When did it start becoming a protest 'cause'? Where are all the climate protests and angry marchers...the wall to wall network coverage...

You can be wrong, but dont be dishonest.

They could do that of course, but then they would have to explain why they arent equally unhinged over democrat government cuts in union support and pensions in Illinois, RI, etc. In fact...it might come back that all states are in a position of having to review their blind support for unions and the impact that will have not only on current state budgets but definitely future budget and personnel cuts. Maybe thats a can of worms they dont really want to open.
