About halfway down a Facebook page devoted to organizing boycotts of companies associated with deep-pocket political contributors to Gov. Scott Walker, there was this sobering comment:

"I don't think I can be part of this anymore," wrote Mary Possin, a small-business owner in Monona. Possin said she couldn't support the page's directions that consumers not buy products from businesses including Johnsonville Sausage, Sargento, Menards and M&I Bank.

"Has anyone considered the impact on the workers of these businesses? They will be the ones who are hurt," Possin added, noting small businesses that carry boycotted products would be most vulnerable. "The fat cats will still be fat."

But Possin's concerns — so different in tone and substance from the bulk of comments on this passionately anti-Walker, anti-big business page — were quickly dispatched by other posters, including page co-administrator Sam Hokin, who also runs a small business in the Madison area.

"I think we all share your concerns, Mary," Hokin said. "But the core issue is that we've reached a state of 'war.' Koch/Walker/etc. own the (governor's office), the Senate and the Assembly. That means that in the span of only two years, one budget cycle, they can wreak total havoc on the state, doing damage that can never be repaired."
