Left-Wing Madison Talk Show Host Threatens To Protest Capitol Police Chief’s Home
By Collin Roth
On Monday, John “Sly” Sylvester of 1670 AM WTDY threatened to protest Capitol Police Chief Dave Erwin’s home if one more protester is arrested in the Capitol. In recent weeks, under the new leadership of Chief Erwin, a small cadre of protesters have been arrested and cited on an almost daily basis for not registering with the Capitol Police to get a permit.
Sly said on his Madison morning show:
I’ve come to the conclusion that if Chief Erwin wants to continue arresting people for exercising their free speech in the Capitol, then we’ll move the protest. And you know where I’ve decided to move the protest? In front of Chief Erwin’s house.
…And if you think it’s innappropriate to give the address of a law enforcement officer out over the air, you tell me, what’s the solution for a despot?
Since taking over as Capitol Police Chief, Erwin has come under fire from the local media and Democratic lawmakers who are concerned about Erwin’s insistence that demonstrators at the Capitol request a permit. Since February of 2011, demonstrators have gathered in the Capitol nearly every day for a “Solidarity Sing Along.” Erwin claims that the permitting process is for safety purposes so that law enforcement can better know how many people are in the Capitol in case of emergency.
It is almost inevitable that another protester will be cited or arrested this week as protesters show no intentions of backing down.
Protesting private homes has become a common tactic in the last two years. To kick off the recall effort, protesters demonstrated in front of Governor Walker’s Wauwatosa home. In January of 2012, protesters with Wisconsin Jobs Now! were cited for protesting and harassing attendees of a fundraiser at a private home in Racine.

Wow, “a conservative non-profit, non-partisan investigative watchdog” site. Nice contradictions in terms there.
If the Chief chooses to act like a Fascist then he will be treated as one. What is it that causes “non-partisans” to fear “free speech”? It’s supported by that document that the BAGGERS quote ojh a selective basis, called the Constitution..
BTW Betteroff it’s “waste” not “waist”. If nobody listens to “this dork” then what are you upset about?

Ah huh…yeah right Mrs. Peel. Why don’t you and your Marxist pals go to Washington and try doing that same thing at the U.S. Capitol. You would be cuffed and in the slammer so fast you would even have time to change your Depends.

Sorry Mrs. Peel … You are correct He is a waste. I’m not a grammar Nazi. But I do watch my terms.
BTW Mrs. Peel: What contradiction of terms do you refer: Conservative & Non-partisan?
Definition of Non-partisan: Not supporting or controlled by a political party.
The “Conservative” part denotes that this site leans that way.
The “Non partisan” denotes the site does “not support or is controlled” by a party.
Therefore, I don’t believe there is a contradiction.
No Sly-baby has no affect on me … I only heard of him when he picked on Rebecca Kleefisch – Remember her and how he berated her?
Women like you stand up for a piece of trash such as this … Shame, shame shame.

Well, I’m fed up with these jerks and their sing-in. What a great example they set for out-of-town/state/country folks visiting our Capital. No wonder Dane county is known as the land of the loony. Walker won, again. Get over it.

This is the same discusting lying pig that that in his sick perverted rant accused Lt. Gov. Kleefisch of performing a sex to advance her political career. Chief Erwin should initiate the same rules in the State Capitol that are enforce in the U.S. Capitol. If any of those Marxist tried doing the same thing there as they do in Madison, the would be arrested, cuffed, and hauled out of there so fast they wouldn’t know what hit them.

Here are the scumbags who employ this miserable nihilistic piece of human garbage:
Tom Walker
Mid-West Family Broadcasting
730 Ray o Vac Drive
Madison, WI 53711
608-273-1000
Perhaps Mr. Walker would understand the swill he’s broadcasting and behavior he’s enabling should strangers start lurking outside his private home and stalking he and his family’s movements? Where does Sly live?

1) You don’t see the ‘irony’ (and by that, I mean the hypocrisy) and proposing to do to him exactly what you are criticizing him for proposing to do to someone else?
2) It took me about five minutes to find his home address on the internet. So I assume you either haven’t looked, or aren’t very good at that kind of stuff, or you’re just blowing smoke.
(Maybe interesting to you guys – he lives in one of the two wards where I work at the polls, so it’s pretty likely that I’ve either seen him come into vote or handled his absentee ballot(s). I’m not a fan of talk radio of any kind, so I wouldn’t have recognized him. But if I see his name on the roster now, it will register.)

Shut up Robert. Thanks in advance.
Yes, I know where he lives. It took me five minutes to look up John A. Sylvester, age 51 in Madison too.

So let me know when the protest is. I’ll come on over to watch. Should be entertaining.

If I saw Sylvester on the street, I’d think he was a butch lesbian woman. He’s got an androgyny thing going like the old SNL character “Pat”

So, it is okay for Capital Police to drive to people’s homes and deliver tickets, but it isn’t okay for people to walk infront of someone’s home with signs? Do you realize that we are paying for the gas and vehicles for these people to leave their posts to hand out tickets. But you also propably have no problem with Scott Walker spending State money to send his kids to School near Milwaukee because they are escorted by State Patrol troops. or the fact that Scott Walker spent tax payer money to send himself and Lt. Gov to Florida for the RNC so we had no gov in our state at the time, or for him to spend money to go visit troops in Kosovo when they were heading home in less than a week. Does Media Trackers follow up on this? What about Media Trackers putting up a video trying to say that people were bribing people to sign recall petitions. Time to get over it. What ever happened to helping others out, why are the tea party pushing republicans only to look out for themselves. This has made me decide never to vote for those who can’t see how their actions affect others.. I don’t normally agree with Sly, but in this case, hey if he has no problems wasting tax payer money, then I have no problem with people protesting in their way as long as they stay peaceful. I will laugh very hard if it comes out that Walker has been violating the laws of the land with the John Doe investigations.

Is there anyone who works for Media Trackers even live in Wisconsin, not to say Madison or are you all from Utah?
