isn't it also against the law to hit someone with a car?

Both of them are in the wrong honestly.

No, they're not both wrong, only he is wrong. He tried to intimidate her vote, he tried to enforce false inprisonment, and she was driving away when he lept in front of her car. This is 100% his fault, he should be charged.

Guess he learned not to stand in front of a car!

Dumbass brought a torso to a vehicle fight...........

The brother-in-law said "those crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap..." What, like jumping in front a car to stop someone from voting?

"These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap," Mike Radle said. He said that Amanda Radle wanted to vote for “one of the women candidates,” according to the Journal-Sentinel.

Ummmmm........ didn't your brother just jump in front of a moving car over one person's vote, or was that some other deluded radical psycho???? You got some nerve calling HER nuts, buddy. Your bro is cuckoo for conserva-puffs!!!

Sounds like the tea-publican calling the kettle black!

Not that the wife was any smarter: if your husband is a nutjob and blocking you in, CALL THE COPS!

I assume both of them post on this forum

Hey, Wiz-bang, she didn't hit him with the car. He hit the car by jumping in front of it. His fault, not hers. She's entitled to vote her conscience and no one, including her husband (women-as-property laws were abolished a long time ago), should be allowed to stop her. One person, one vote.

Knuckle-dragging husband and brother-in-law go gorilla while swinging from front bumper of his estranged wife’s Dodge Durango. Stupid is as stupid does, which means Scott Walker should be happy.

It just goes to show everyone how stupid the husband and his dumb brother are. The husband stands in front of an SUV then when she has an opening to leave her husband jumped in front and his brother thinks his sister in law is crazy??? Really? She is crazy for staying with her husband, who the hell would insure him? The husband spends 1 night in the hospital and his brother refers to his injuries as "serious"---give it a rest.

I was shocked to find out that Scott Walker was republican At least the husband didn't pull a gun to force his wife to vote for him.

Probably would not have been an issue if she had just shot him.

"These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap," Mike Radle said. He said that Amanda Radle wanted to vote for “one of the women candidates,” according to the Journal-Sentinel.

Crazy? He's the one on the car hood. And what's crazy about voting for a woman?

... and hilarity ensued all around.

Crazy liberal nuts huh, but I can either prevent someone from voting for someone I don't like or force them to vote for who I do like and I'm not a stupid, crazy nut? She wanted to vote for of them there women candidates? File for divorce from this knuckle dragger and his family sweetheart.

Typical reactionary response - first, use threats and violence to try and get your way, and when that backfires and somebody fights back, run crying to mommy that you got picked on. Reactionaries are some of the biggest spinless physical cowards on the planet.

And, no, HE is in bigger trouble, HE is the aggressor and PREVENTED his potential victim from using the ONLY safe exit to leave the scene (and NO complete reactionary BS about abandoning the vehicle, that would have exposed the woman to MORE danger from this obviously mentally deranged reactionary). Her responses were ALL measured and proportional to threat she was under by her mentally unbalanced rightwing attacker. And, HE THREW himself in front of the vehicle, a FACT even his probably equally mentally unbalanced rightwing brother has stated to be TRUE, making it impossible for her to avoid him. And, SHE called in the incident.

Basic justice should have him served with at least half a dozen separate warrants for felony and misdemeaners.

Crazy liberal nuts? It was a primary for crying out loud!! He should have saved his typical conservative intimidation for the real election next month. The political and religious extremism of the right knows no limits!

The only difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits

He jumped in the way so she did nothing wrong. He is the idiot!

Watch out guys, girl power equals crazy b!@#$. Obviously the guy was in the wrong. But hitting him with a car was a tad extreme.

Those Walker types think women should do as there told. It brings to mind the move Mississippi Burning, when the Deputy's wife helped the FBI. The KKK dam near beat her to death, Of course her hubby was KKK also. We all know Walker, Snider & Kish from Ohio all kept there agenda a secret from the voters. Hell the Rep's in the last Election didn't even say what party there with. Scott Brown didn't have Rep under his Add's. They didn't want anyone to know witch party there were. They came in like thief's in the night. Walker took a surplus, Gave Tax break to his rich buddy's like the Koch brothers, Created a shortage and then attacked the Unions to make up the difference. Then he gave Koch's the rest of the power plants in the state. So Koch brothers own all the power plants in the state. This guy is going to be like Little Bush, He will have to leave the state, when all the people find out what he has done, Him and the Fit's Brothers will need to leave the state. Snider In Michigan is the only one that didn't go all in with this Koch Brother agenda. I hope and pray for the People of WI that they get Walker voted out and take there State back. The Tea party keep saying take there country back. Are these people that Dumb, Take it back for the Koch brothers. I hope that everyone knows that Koch's old man did this with JFK. He couldn't stand the Idle of a Catholic was President. Drove him crazy, Now can you just think of his son's having to deal with a Black man in there white house. I can here them now. This is our country not there, We own it and the people have to do what we want, after all we own everything. We take all the natural resources, don't pay for them and make Billions from stealing from the tax payers. And when we have a spill or something like that, we let the tax payers pay for that too. Our Country, we own it. The Tea party was hi jacked by the Koch brothers to do there dirty work for them, while they stay hidden in there castles. Let the pee on's do the dirty work.

Maybe they can upgrade him to a monkey brain at the hospital.

Looks like a clear case of voter supression. Since it was freely admitted by both the husband and the brother-in-law that the objective was to prevent her from voting, the district attorney will be obligated to pursue a legal case in this matter in addition to whatever else is deemed appropriate. If the DA refuses to act, more issues will erupt.

"Doctor CrispyNo, they're not both wrong, only he is wrong."

Nonsense. Assault with a deadly weapon is a felony. It is a crime, just like voter intimidation/suppression.

The ironic part is that his actions were totally unnecessary. Walker was running unopposed.

Exclude people that disagree from voting and impose your beliefs on others thats the GoP way!

The brother's comment was TOTALLY BACKWARDS and is TOTALLY REPRESENTATIVE of the GOP's LACK OF CONTACT WITH REALITY.

JUST LIKE the GOP, he was trying to STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING. Can you say VOTER ID? This is the STANDARD GOP practice: If you can't convince them with LIES and PROPAGANDA (FAUX NEWS: I am looking at YOU) then put OBSTACLES in their way so they can't vote - like voter id. There is NO EVIDENCE of ANY FRAUD but the GOP is all over voter id.

The GOP is nothing but a NEST OF TRAITORS. Keeping HUMAN BEINGS from voting but makeCORPORATIONS PEOPLE? TREASON against the country and the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!

INSANITY is their only defense to a charge of TREASON!

And YASHMAK. What about the CASTLE DOCTRINE you GOP nutcases are all in favor of? She was SCARED of this GOP NUTCASE. She had EVERY RIGHT (by your OWN TWISTED LOGIC) to RUN HIM DOWN and BACK OVER HIM to be sure he was DEAD.

Its nice to see a married couple both engaged in the politics of their community.

Of course being in the hospital limits how much of his "Honey-Do" list he can accomplish.

He was just being a good republican. Don't all you know that the republican fundamentalist philosophy is that the wife is supposed to obey her husband in all things? He told her how to vote, and if she would not obey - she was trying to do that crazy liberal stuff - like using her own mind. So he was 'right in his own mind' to stop her from disobeying. If Walker wins - the next law to be imposed will be to allow men to 'beat some sense into disobeying women' -- just like they do in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and the Taliban parts of Afghanistan.

And maybe this attitude is why they were separated...

This is clearly a dysfunctional marraige, and this guy is a nut. I'm not usually one to voice this, but they need to get a divorce. This guy is a control freak and it will not end well for either of them to stay in this relationship.

This case illustrates the divisiveness of politics taken to its logical extreme. The way these things psychologically dominate certain people's lives is horrible and it produces horrible people.

I mean, my wife and I vote differently, but we don't let it dominate our lives and we don't obsess over politics. We just agree to disagree on certian things and don't harass each other about how we vote. Just cause she votes for the other candidate it doesn't mean that the world is comign to and end. Politics is not the be-all end-all of every single aspect of life that people make it out to be. There are more important things about life than politics and religion.

someone risking his life for a politician, I can't think of anything dumber than that

@Lolly192 "Your bro is cuckoo for conserva-puffs!!!"

That is hilarious! :D

Burk-ah! Burk-ah! Burk-ah!

Did everyone miss the ESTRANGED part?

Believe it or not, a lot of men still try and tell their wives HOW to vote and some dumb women follow the instructions. Some tell them what to think, how to dress, etc. Instead of staying married to that fool she needs to dump him and be done with it.

But this shows what people will do to prevent people from voting! Maybe he should be charged with kidnapping? You can't prevent someone from leaving if they want to. Unless they are 2 or 3 of course. Did she run him down or did he jump in front of a moving car. There is a difference. Her intent was to leave. HIs intent was to stop her anyway he could. I am glad he didn't have a gun in his hand..

Ahh. Nothing like witnessing another Darwin Award Candidate!

Between

1. trying to Tell his wife what to do (not a recipe for survival of your gene line), then
2. attempting to use his body to stop a 2,000 lb vehicle to enforce is initial stupid decision...

this candidate has a leg up on the competition!

this was over someone placing a vote so no we will not leave politics out of this.

Unfortunately, the dude isn't dead, or I'd second the Darwin nomination. What an idiot.

Dodge Durango? 2,000lbs vehicle? Try 5,000lbs. Even the Fiat 500 and Scion iQ top 2,000lbs these days. Both the 500 and iQ are around 2,100 to 2,200lbs.

@Ed,

You are correct, regardless of political affiliations, the husband in this case is suffering from weapons-grade stupid.

A) You do not threaten someone to prevent them from voting. That is just asking to be hauled off to prison.

B) You do not leap in front of a moving vehicle. The vehicle will win every single time.

me-2773149, LOL I know right.. I read that and about choked on my drink.. His brother jumped in-front of her truck to stop the crazy liberal from voting for a woman.. LMAO I think it's safe to say the brothers didn't fall far from the crazy tree and right in to a pile of bat *hit crazy..

They call that sarcasm.

stop the madening, stop lying and making stuff up. your time would be better spent practicing your spelling.

If I didn't know better I would have said these people were from the deep south. Can anyone say in-breeders? Or KKK, Same thing.

Gotta second that. If he tried to control her on voting, imagine what he does in the house behind closed doors. Wow!

denver, that's bullshít and you know it.

He thinks that others think like he does...

Um, denver, every investigation into "vote fraud" has found that it's virtually non-existent. All of the Republicans attempts to make it tougher to vote are simply efforts to prevent "those people" (i.e., minorities, poor people, old people, Democrats) from voting. The various voter ID laws are a solution in search of a problem.

And don't start telling me about improper voter registration. Yes, sometimes Mickey Mouse registers to vote, and that shouldn't happen. But unless Mickey actually shows up and casts a ballot, no "vote fraud" has occurred, so we shouldn't get too worked up over it.

The real vote fraud occurs when the Supreme Court prevents properly-cast ballots from being counted, or when some Diebold machine comes up with numbers that don't make too much sense.

EarlyOut,

I agree with you that proven cases of voter fraud are extremely rare (I believe the figure is about 0.0009%). There could be one or many reasons why this is the case. It could be that nobody who wants to win an election ever stoops to fraudulent means to achieve that goal, and the low numbers are purely naturally-occurring. Or it could be that the methods used to register voters are so lax that fraudulent registrations occur, don't get caught, and the fraudulent votes are counted as legitimate. I don't know, and neither do you. I wonder, though, why it is that some people are so adamantly opposed to proving citizenship by showing a driver's license or state ID at the polling place? Alaska makes it's citizens prove their citizenship to get their Permanent Fund distribution from the oil revenues, and nobody there ever seems to have a problem doing so to get their check. And I think that what happens in the voting booths is much more important than that.

stop the madening, stop lying and making stuff up. rumor has it you like little boys. guess why no one cares. cause rumors are worthless. give us some facts or just stfu.

So, stop, do you get a lunch hour? Do you get breaks? A vacation? Some sort of benefit package? FYI: The unions who brought you these cherished workers' rights started in Wisconsin. Since there has been a lessening of unions, workers' wages have become stagnant, but those at the top have seen a 280% increase in their wages. And Scott Walker tried to stop the unions in their birth place. He needs to be taken down, then he needs to go to jail for his unfair election practices back when he was a county supervisor. That's why he has a defense fund. Do you really want a governor who is so corrupt he needs a defense fund.

Ms. Radle was exercising her rights.

And look at just how degenerate the thinking of reactionaries has gone by looking at denver's ridiculous pile of donkey crap on voting.

He admits that REAL cases of voting fraud are vanishingly small (registratioin fraud is somewhat bigger), and then uses that FACT to argue that that must mean that in his delusional "reality" voting fraud is really the norm and happens all the time.

How can you reason with this kind of literal psychotic break with reality sort of thinking?

To think for one second that voter fraud don't happen is just BS. And we all know it. We have seen it time and time again when some Rep has lost a race and weeks later someone walks in with a box full of ballets they just found and the Rep wins. The only reason no one does anything about it is they control the whole process. Just look at Fl in 2000. Bushes brother was Governor of that state. The Rep's controlled the the House and Senate, The State Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court. How can you say there isn't voter Fraud?????????

denver, when you have to puchase something in order to vote it's a poll tax and those are illegal. What's more Walker tried to shut down places were people can get those IDs and limit the hours open of the places he couldn't shut down. All those places were in Democratic strongholds. It was an obvious attempt to keep people who wouldn't vote for him from voting period. Voter suppression is the only motivation behind the ID laws and that's why liberals are opposed to them. We think everyone who is eligible to vote should be able to vote.

Alverant...seems like you pick and choose what is called obstruction, but don't see anything in your comment of the New Black Panthers blocking or intimidating voters in republican strongholds. This is why liberals are such hypicates and only viewing things in a one way direction.

STOP the fool is the one that got ran over. This is all part of the tea publican agenda. Women are to do as there husbands tell them. Pat Bucanan said that when he ran for President. He said a woman should submit to her husband, do what ever he say's when he say's it. The Rep's have become just what we fought the war against England. The Rep's think they were elected King. I am from Michigan, and our former Governor John Englear thought that. Scott Walker thinks that.

What I can't understand for the live of me is why so many people vote against there interest. I can not see why one woman would ever vote Rep. Talk about stupid is as stupid does. And the people that do the dirty work for the Koch Brothers. Where is our Brave heart today that will stand up and tell people to stop supporting those that steel from us. Just because someone's daddy Left them Billions of dollars, Didn't make them King.

It sounds like just another story about two typical drunk a**wipes.

Jeff you are right, I bet her live isn't worth spit. And Walker wont let the police protect her from this guy and his family. I guess I need to get my guns and go over there to protect this lady. Someone needs to.

She should, for her husband's health and welfare, vote by mail. Jumping in front of a mail truck is a lot safer than an SUV.

lol @ Bill Crane

jumping in front of a moving car is crazy. thinking you have the right to stop someone forcibly from voting is crazy. false imprisonment is crazy. stop the madening isn't crazy, just stupid.

Yeah, liberals brainwash idiots into jumping in front of cars to prevent votes they don't like. It's the unions I tell you! I am NOT paranoid, that's a rumor started by everyone that's out to get me! Idiot.

Hatr the problem here is that on one will do a thing to this guy unless the Fed step in. Right now the Rep's control everything in WI. So do you think the police or PA will file charges against the man. NO, The only way he will be brought to justice is if the Federal AG charges him. Walker wont allow it. And she should get protection from the FED. Like someone said, she will disappear.

So you're saying if someone is unconsious they're always unconsious and never regain consiousness. Also if the wife is guilty, why did the cops let her out?

because by law they have to set of some kind of bond to release her.And maybe the man is concious now and maybe hes waiting to give out a statment with his lawyer.It just shows how immature people are just believe one side of the story. How are we suppose to know what happened the only people that know is amanda and jeff not any of us. I highly doubt that is the reason why all this happened. So dont be judging other people because I am pretty sure that you would not want to be judged,

hitting someone with a car is ok though. as long as you're liberal. your hypocrisy is showing

She didn't hit him with her car. He attacked her and jumped in front of it. But I guess it's OK to prevent people from voting if you're conservative.

@ stop the madening: Let me know when those union fanatics are attempting to force/coerce their spouses votes and denying them the freedom to come and go as you please.

Pretty sure the black panther party is smart enough not to jump in front of moving SUV's to prevent voting. Voter intimidation has always been as issue from all sides, it's just that republicans are stupid. I say this as a libertarian, a true libertarian is conservative but also understands that what other people do is none of our f$%^#ng business. Keep calling people names idiot.
