Many of you have never heard of Ms. McKenna. For those of you that have, you are more than likely aware of the vile lies that come out of her mouth on a daily basis. Yesterday Madison's Fire Chief had to defend her firefighters from some of these attacks.
Also occuring yesterday, Ms.McKenna also published, on her facebook page, a screed about the attacks against her...primarily about how the left keeps bringing up her disorderly conduct arrest in 1997.
Her screed, and my response are below the fold.
The date: June 25th, 1997. The place: Madison, WI, Camp Randall Stadium. The event: U2 on the "Pop" tour.
Why am I writing this? Because 20-something weed toking unionistas think it's a big deal I got charged with disorderly conduct at the concert. OK, at the time I thought it was. Hell, I alone in the city of Madison probably drew the single harshest penalty of a DC ever: 50 HOURS of community service and fines totaling over $2000. Take THAT drunk drivers! And I didn't even pee in the corners of the capitol--or call in a death threat to 16 senators.
First off, the reason people keep bringing your arrest up is because you are a public figure. I am also not sure where you are getting the term "unionistas"
as a word it does not exist in any dictionary. It is an obvious attempt by you to put hard working people who you disagree with in a poor light. Your statement about 20-somethings is also a poor reflection on the facts. The protests here in Madison are not being led by 20-somethings that belong to unions. These protests are truly grassroots and encompass a broad range of ages and occuaptions. Oh, and not all of them even belong to a union.
4 beers and 5 martinis will do that to a girl. I now hate gin.
Yes, alas, it's true. 14 years ago, I got bombed at the U2 concert, started a fight in the stands, got ejected, called a cop a name you're not supposed to call umpires, and got hauled off to the slammer where I sat for about 2 hours. It sucked. I heard the strains of "Staring at the Sun" while I was being dragged away. And I had 10th row seats.
Ms. McKenna, do not blame alcohol for what you did - you did it period. I also do not care that you had tenth row seats or that you were removed from a U2 concert. You were not the victim here. You deserved the punishment you received.
Since we're on the subject of my "WCCA" record, since the lefties think they have some sort of "gotcha", it was FRONT PAGE NEWS for two news cycles. Complete with a lovely mug shot and everything. I even lead the news when a poor, pregnant woman's body was dragged out of Lake Kegonsa that week. How's that for proving Don Henley right?
My you are full of yourself - again, if you do not like being in the news, don't attack firefighters, police officers or other hard working people. If you tell a crowd to "Shut-up" you need to expect some blowback for that. See the way free speech works is, you have a right to say what you want and I have a right to state my disagreement with you.
Oh, every couple of months this rears it's head. You folks have been bringing this up for 14 years straight. I'm delighted I'm so interesting to you. I was a party animal back in those old Z-days. But how about you unionistas who think you got the ultimate "gotcha" come up with an argument for why we should let you and your heathen hoardes keep running us off the fiscal cliff instead of thinking "boo" about my 14 year old DC tickets. Especially when you're all going to get plastered this weekend on redbull-vodka shooters?
Again, if you would stop making assinine statements, would stop with the hate speech, this would go away. It is not that you are interesting to us...most of us wish you would crawl back into whatever hole you crawled out of. You also bring up alcohol again. You being a party animal back in the "Z-days" has nothing to do with this. You broke the law, you paid your penalty for it; however, that does not give you free reign to bash people and to spread untruths. If you do...guess what, because you are a public figure...your arrest will be brought up again and again.
The left set never gets it, because their brains are just plain broken. But you CAN fix your brains, unionistas. You just have to fully appreciate that everything that happens to you is of your OWN doing. I didn't blame the police for MY drinking like a fish and starting a fight. I didn't blame the credit card companies when I got into debt. I didn't blame my college for my majoring in something useless like Marxist sociology. I didn't blame my mommy or my daddy and need the government to fix my self esteem for me.
This paragraph shows how ignorant and full of hate you really are. You cannot win an argument so you resort to name calling. Which is quite typical for you. My brain is not broken. I am an honorably discharged U.S. Army veteran. I put myself through college for my undergraduate degree and I am using the G.I. Bill for my graduate degree. My Dad was a WWII Navy vet, union man and liberal. My Mom was a "Rosie the Riveter" during WWII and was a stay at home mom for three kids and a liberal. But that is all meaningless to you. You appear to hate people with an education. It is not people on the left who are full of blame, it is you. You are the one who appears to have a self-esteem problem. You blame alcohol for your woes, you blame the left for everything that has gone wrong in your life. Maybe, you need to just grow up.
As the old diva pop song says: Free your minds, and the rest will follow. But to free your minds, kids, you have to own your CHOICES first. Otherwise, someone owns you. Right now, you're owned--lock, stock and barrel. You didn't even RENT your brains to the establishment and big government, you SOLD them outright.
How sad and angry a life that produces. Freedom is much more fun. The flowers smell nicer, the dogs smile broader and the songs on the radio sound better. Don't take my word for it. TRY IT for yourselves.

I really feel sorry for you. You are so blinded by hatred, rage and bigotry that you cannot see that you are the one whose mind is closed. You do nothing more than repeat the same tired talking points of the right. You claim the left is owned...yet you fail to see how the right is corporate controlled. You cannot see the forest for the trees.
A little bit of advice for you Ms. Mckenna...if you do not want your past continuously dredged up then I suggest you find a new line of work out of the public eye. If you decide to attack me with your bully pulpit over the airwaves...please do...but keep in mind - I have served my country...and I do not have a bully pulpit. You would just be showing your true colors. Picking on the little guy who cannot fight back. Be warned, I can and will fight back.
