MILWAUKEE - Many people on both sides of the debate over Governor Scott Walker's budget bill are using social media to get their message out, and one of the state senators made a very controversial posting.

Milwaukee Democratic State Senator Lena Taylor tweeted "Like Hitler in 1933, Walker is busting unions, refuses to sit down and talk to the people."

A tea party activist posted an exchange with one Democratic senator on his blog.

"Excuse me sir, why aren't you doing your job today?"

"I'm not so sure that's my job."

"Why did you flee the state of Wisconsin so you wouldn't have to do your job, sir, so you wouldn't have to do your job, sir?"

"I'm doing my job right now."
