Walker Tries to Grab Protest Sign At Iowa State Fair

Driving home yesterday I flipped on the Devil’s Advocates Radio show to hear Dom and Crute chortling over Scott Walker trying to grab a protest sign from a Wisconsin heckler at the Iowa state fair.  Apparently, the SEIU and other activists are following him around and warning would-be supporters.   A caller said that no, it was someone in the crowd who grabbed the sign, but the Devil’s Advocates claimed they had a freeze frame with Walker’s paw on the sign.

When I got home, I scoured the net for video, but clips from most news outlets were unclear.  I finally saw it on this C-Span video on youtube at about the 12:10 mark.  First Walker tries to grab the sign, but the protester grabs it back before a Walker supporter ultimately wrests the sign from the Wisconsinite.

But the WI AFL-CIO got the best shot of Walker with the sign and from an angle that makes it easy to read the text.  Easily the best photo of the week!
