Ann Althouse got to the Scott Walker article in the New Republic first.
Rush Limbaugh picked up on the discussion to boost Walker as the kind of Republican who seriously threatens Democrats.
She finds a few small errors in his presentation, mainly due to the difference between writing and radio broadcasting.
I agree with the big point: Scott Walker is powerful and threatening to Democrats because he stands firm on conservative principles, that's why he is targeted for destruction, and the racial politics is the way they do it. And that's how talk radio works. A lot of the material is sketchy and a bit off, but you're caught up in the cascade, and in the end, you get the point, and you probably agree with it, even if you've just had the unsettling experience of hearing your own name tossed out and your own words used and abused.
