"What they are going to do, because they got nothing to offer in response, they are going to attack and attack and attack and attack and attack, and then attack again," he said.What came to mind first was his repeating and repeating and repeating "attack and attack and attack..." That's a signature rhetorical device belonging to and amplified frequently by Mark Belling, the 1130 WISN-AM afternoon and often angry rightly radio talker.
Walker's words could have been the deliberate work of staff, or the Governor himself, to feed back a talk radio mantra to the faithful, or a subconscious homage to Belling on whose show Walker has often appeared.
Affirming the relationships between Walker and right-wing talk radio already noted:
But either way, his summoning, via complaining, of a staple of talk radio - - itself an attacking forum and format - - is pretty ironic.
Secondly, is Walker looking for an exemption from a Poli Sci 101 axiom - - that incumbents must defend their record against challengers' attacks.
Which is precisely how Walker ran against the records of Tom Ament and Jim Doyle, though neither were on the ballot?
