How is what's happening in Wisconsin not like Bloody Sunday? [View all]

They're both about minorities trying to exercise their right to vote. They're both about right-wingers trying to keep minorities from exercising their right to vote.

Except this time it's not billy clubs and tear gas, but ... something else.
