Second, Dean said, is how Walker opposes equality. “There are many examples of Walker’s harsh and uncaring treatment of those whom he does not believe to be entitled to equality,” Dean wrote. “None is more glaring than his intolerance of gays and lesbians,” referring to Walker trying to stop same-sex couples from being recognized as next of kin for hospital visitation rights.

On the third "authoritarian" theme, seeking personal power, Dean pointed not only to how Walker undercut public employee unions to increase his own power, but on how he has made many more jobs political positions instead of civil service positions.

Fourth, Dean writes about Walker’s approach to morality. “To be amoral, of course, is to be insensitive to moral matters,” writes Dean. “A politician like Scott Walker will wrap himself in a cloak of morality, while, in fact, acting anything but morally."

Dean says his attacks on poor women (a reference to his opposition to Planned Parenthood’s free services) and education spending while giving tax breaks to corporations is not what he is talking about. Nor is the current “Joe Doe” investigation of activities in Walker’s office when he was Milwaukee County executive. “The grand jury proceeding simply remains a dark cloud following him, and no conclusions can or should be drawn from it,” Dean wrote.
