Noted: Nor are there “terrifying” similarities between Walker and Hitler, as a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor [Sara Goldrick-Rab] recently tweeted. There aren’t even vague similarities. When Walker was in the Assembly and he and I went to the same church, we would on occasion chat. Not once did this sincerely (and seriously) conservative son of a Baptist minister express a desire to take over the world or exterminate whole populations. Didn’t happen. And you know, it’s even absurd that one has to say all this.
