Someone’s going to have to ’splain this one to me.
In a posting at his Milwaukee County First blog, and cross-posted at his personal blog, Milwaukee county employee and union representative Chris “capper” Liebenthal decries the use of a Milwaukee County Parks logo on an Americans for Prosperity banner displayed at last week’s taxpayer rally at Veteran’s Park. Liebenthal writes:
“The fact that the Parks logo appears on the banner could very well lead one to think that Milwaukee County endorsed and/or sponsored this event, which would not be legal…I have sent out emails of inquiry to County Executive Scott Walker, Parks Director Sue Black and to Americans for Prosperity to find out if the use of the logo was authorized and if so, who authorized it. If it was not authorized, it will be interesting to see what actions Milwaukee County will take to correct the misperception that someone from the County actually endorsed a political event such as this.”
Yet, when you open this copy of Milwaukee County First’s own promotional literature, what’s the first thing prominently displayed?
I suppose Liebenthal would make the argument that an organization that counts himself, Jason Haas and Zach Wisniewski as members isn’t a “political” organization.
Still, something seems amiss here. I just can’t quite put my finger on it…
UPDATE: The savvy folks over at ScottForGov.com have already obtained a copy of the county’s response to Liebenthal’s “inquiry.” You can see it at this link.

I did my own open records request for his request and any response he gets from the County Executive’s office. I’ll be sure to share.

Hypcorisy was never a major concern for Crapper.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Hypocrisy is the foundation of all leftist thought.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
The County Executive’s office works fast….
See their response to the hypocrit here:

It’s clear that the logo on the MCF brochure is being used as a heading rather than as a logo in and of itself.
It’s unclear why the Mil County Parks would allow their logo to be used on the AFP banner if not to show some level of support. The banner does not address the parks. It does not discuss the parks.
The uses are clearly different in nature. Does that excuse one or the other? I don’t know. Apples and oranges are alike enough if you’re discussing fruit but there ain’t nobody buying your caramel oranges.

Does Crapper realize what a dense partisan fool he is showing himself to be?
September 28th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Grumps, read the link right above your comment, it answers your question. Not that you will listen but it is all there.

No harm, no foul.
The local “newz” will tell us about which packer took the biggest dook last night and all will be well.
this state is filled with MORONS.

Irony – a bunch of teabagging astroturfers calling me out for being partisan.
You all can kiss my ass. I’m done here.
September 29th, 2009 at 5:41 am
Again, a Liberal’s only defense is to use a profane attack…

You people at Badgerblogger are mean.:) Come on over to our blog Capper…we’ll take care of you.

Irony? That word doesn’t mean what you think it means, Chris Liebenthal.
“I’m done here.” Another Chris Liebenthal lie.
September 29th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Ah…9 hours without Capper. It was peaceful while it lasted.
Guess we’re in for more of his lies, distortions, obfuscation and childish name calling.

So let’s take a look, here is a screen shot of Liebenthal’s “mock up” next to the logo at the Parks Department website side by side.
If it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck…
Next?

Run Crapper run!!!
September 29th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Capper,
You better start getting used to the pile up. You and I both know you deserve it.
If you were just opining from your Cognitive Dissidence hate-site, then that is one thing; but creating a non-profit for the sole purpose of hurting Walker will have its consequences.
I assure you that I will personally treat you as a hostile witness when you publish your lies. In fact, I might create an entire category on my website devoted to your little fraudulent endeavor.
Enjoy it, you will experience some turbulence.
September 29th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
In fact, I just added a category on my site dedicated to you Capper. It’s called MCF is a Fraud. Feel free to check it out.
September 29th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Capper puts the “ass” in “classy.”
September 29th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
For those slow on the take, I’d like to translate capper’s response:
“WAAAAAAAHHHHH! I’m taking my ball and going home!”
September 29th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Fred, I followed the link. The Parks Dept reply doesn’t really clear anything up. They didn’t ask for it to be posted and AFP idn’t ask them. The banner is clearly intended to make an impression that there is a level of connection.
The MCF brochure addresses issues relevant to the Parks Dept. It’s really not the same.
September 29th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Grumps, try again, but with your nose out of Crapper’s behind. Who do you think you are? The Safe School Czar, Jennings?
September 29th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
excellent…
fight fire with fire. A fight they want, a fight they get.
MOLON LABE !

Corbin, fire with fire, or Alinsky with Alinsky….?
September 29th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Thank you, Grumps. You’re the sole adult in the midst of the Teabagging Taliban.
The rest of you can go to hell. Enjoy your circle jerk of a blog as the Repukelikkkan party slips to irrelavence. And Rodriguez, you little punk — it’s on. I have dirt on you.

My intentions should have been very well pointed.. I’m conservative as hell. I am not a “neocon” – I despise those whores. I am conservative, will be till the day I die.
Politics for money is the liberal/neocon way. Not mine.

Badger blog staff,
Be very careful. this is part of a nefarious plot by capper and his dirty disciples to make it look like someone is spoofing him, so that they can turn the tabels on you and make you all look like a bunch of morons. Beware these people, they are dirty as sin. Most of them work for government in some form and spend theyre days working about 2 hrs, and spending the rest of theyre taxpayer funded time working out little schemes to punk the right-wing blogosphere so that in theyre minds, they can claim mental superiority and feel better about how dorky and pathetic they are. do not play theyre game. These people are dangerous. They have no shame, no morals, not one ounce of character. Theyre entire existance is about raping you and making you feel like its your fault.
September 29th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Yes, we have had spoofers here before, so we have initiated a block on comments to/from or about Chris Liebenthal a.k.a. capper.
September 29th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Crapper thinks people are scared by union goons? I say bring it on! I live in a union goon town. I keep my guns loaded and I shoot to kill.
Now, if the left doesn’t want to stand down and be reasonable, it is their funeral(s).

Ahh yes, the notorious leftist tolerance that everyone has heard so much about.
But remember, expletives are the sign of an ignorant mind struggling to express itself. This of course explains why so many leftists refer to Tea Partiers, as teabaggers.
September 29th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I sure hope Crapper wasn’t threatening anyone, because then I’d have to publish his address and phone number all over the net.
In my old Saint Mathias days, I lived right by Crapper.
September 29th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Crapper still lives in his parent’s basement, right?
September 29th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
That didn’t sound like Capper; Besides, I don’t have the sort of dirt worth publishing on the web anyway.
September 30th, 2009 at 6:44 am
I still don’t get the argument they are spinning here. They are alleging that either the AFP or one of their associated groups is using the logo to give people the impression that the Parks Dept. endorses them OR that the Parks Dept. actually did endorse the rally. SINCE WHEN DID AN ENDORSEMENT FROM THE FREAKIN’ PARKS DEPT. BECOME SO FREAKIN’ VALUABLE??? OMG, capper needs to step away from his computer and leave his mother’s basement every now and again for some fresh air and perspective.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Grumps, your ability to grasp a very basic concept says much…
Follow this. The parks department takes whatever opportunity available to promote itself.
That does not mean it endorses the political view of any group that hold a meeting within any park.
Honestly you people spend way too much time looking for things to be offended about.
Capper, you stay classy now.
