Our friends at Media Trackers Wisconsin are featured on Time.com for a story they broke regarding a liberal blog’s false claims. Check it out!
The Pulaski High School Red Raider Marching Band of Pulaski, Wisc. was commended by the Daily Kos for playing a pro-union song during the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena. The liberal blog claimed the band was “gettin’ down” to “Union Maid” by Woody Guthrie as a jab to Governor Scott Walker’s policies. The song has lyrics like: “I’m sticking to the Union until the day I die.”
But Pulaski Superintendent Dr. Mel Lightner claims there was no hidden agenda. According to an interview with conservative watchdog Media Trackers, Lightner said the band was playing a crowd-pleaser they refer to as “Red Wing Polka,” not “Union Maid.”
“This is simply hilarious,” Lightner said. “They [the Daily Kos] are just trying to spin it their way.” Lightner added that Pulaski’s band director Tom Bush chose “Red Wing Polka” because it was his grandmother’s favorite.
