"The national media also made an attempt to draw an analogy between union protestors in Madison and pro-democracy demonstrators in Cairo. By implication, those opposing union protests were to be compared with the "thugs" on camels who attacked democracy activists in Cairo. Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's comment on MSNBC's Morning Joe program that the Madison protests were "like Cairo" was seized on by the left and immediately distorted. What Ryan meant to say, I believe, is that intimidation by union mobs is not the way democracy works in America. What the media had him saying was that Madison's carefully organized protests by public sector workers to protect their own excessive wages and benefits were somehow heroic. Clearly, they are not."
