AFSCME: Video attacking Tom Barrett was 'over the top'
MADISON (AP) --Wisconsin's largest public employees union said it used poor judgment when it directed members to an Internet video attacking Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett, and acknowledged the video was ``over the top.''Yet, in a statement on its website, the Wisconsin chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) stood by its criticism of Barrett, claiming that he demanded too many concessions from workers as Milwaukee's mayor.``While we used poor judgment in directing our members' attention to an Internet video that went over the top to make its point, we believe it is essential to bring attention to Barrett's record on collective bargaining,'' the statement said.``Unfortunately, it is not a good record.'' The video that AFSCME sent to its members last week incorrectly implies that Barrett supported Republican Gov.
