Wife hits husband with SUV after argument over recalls - JSOnline

A Chippewa Falls man who repeatedly tried to block his estranged wife from driving to the polls Tuesday was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries when she struck him with her sport utility vehicle.
Jeffrey Radle, a Gov. Scott Walker supporter, was on foot.
Amanda Radle, a recall proponent, was in a Dodge Durango.
The pair had been arguing early Tuesday afternoon over who she was going to vote for in the gubernatorial recall election primary, said Chippewa Falls Police Chief Wendy L. Stelter.
"She was planning on voting for a certain candidate, and it wasn't the candidate he wanted her to vote for," Stelter said.
When Amanda Radle, 30, attempted to pull out, Jeffrey Radle, 36, stood in front of her, according to a police department statement. She nudged him with the vehicle several times.
Each time he would "retreat and re-establish his ground," the release said. "At one point he climbed onto the hood."
When she finally attempted to drive around him, Jeffrey Radle jumped in front of the vehicle and was hit. Aman da Radle left the scene and went to the police department to report the incident, the release said.
"These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap," said Radle's brother, Mike Radle, describing himself and his brother as firm supporters of Walker, the subject of the recall.
Mike Radle said his brother was in stable condition but had suffered serious injuries and was still unconscious Tuesday afternoon.
"He'll be in the hospital at least overnight," he said.
Stelter would not confirm whether Jeffrey Radle was still being treated.
Police have been called to the residence several times in the past, and the couple was believed to be separated, Stelter said.
Stelter did not know what candidate Amanda Radle wanted to vote for or whether she planned on voting in the Democratic or Republican primary. Mike Radle said it was "one of the women candidates" - either former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk or state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout of Alma.
Until Tuesday, the worst election day dispute Stelter had seen was a stolen bumper sticker or a damaged lawn sign.
"This certainly raises it to another level," the 27-year law enforcement veteran said in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon.
The matter has been referred to the Chippewa County district attorney's office for possible charges.
"To think that people would become that distraught over an election is very concerning," the chief said.

Removing someone's yard sign or tearing a political bumper sticker off a car is a Felony in Oklahoma.

I think it is interesting that the total number of Republican votes cast in WI was 646,458 and the total number of Democratic votes case was 670,278.

So far Walker has outspent the Democrats by nine to one. Looks like he is going to have to up the ante.

Nobody would've spent a dime on it had the recall not been implemented.

This.

Good grief, did she get to vote or not?? There's your election fraud.

The vote is yet to come. Can't speak to her personal issues with that.

I find it interesting the degree to which interpretations vary. These two articles are both posted on the NPR website this morning:

Weekly Standard: Walker's Strong Showing In Wis. : NPR

and...

The Nation: Good News For Democrats In Wisconsin : NPR

One titled "Good News for Democrats in Wisconsin", the other "Walker's Strong Showing in Wisconsin." One claims the gov. pulled out all the stops to turn out the Republican vote, the other that he didn't do much because he is running essentially uncontested in the primary.

From down here in Texas I can't tell where the truth lies, but find it interesting, and a bit amazing, the degree of disparity in between the articles.

(BTW, I am too lazy to use the link widget to tidy up appearances.)

Wait, I'm confused. I thought NPR was decidedly liberal. What's with posting differing slants on the issue anyhow?

And if Walker had not ditched his pre election promises and gone with an agenda never mentioned until he won there would have been no recall, either.

Another way to look at it was if Walker had let everyone know what he was planning on doing after he was elected he might not have been elected and then there would also be no recall.

Walker bought this on himself while trying to serve his corporate Masters and not the people of WI, and if he loses the upcoming election he will have no one but himself to blame.

That's why voting by mail is a good idea.

3 sides to every issue, I suppose. "Your side, my side and the truth". I suspect the truth lies somewhere in-between.

The devil, if he exists also sprinkles a couple lies in the "mostly truth"? Not sure why you think there is a political axe to grind between the both stories.
