“I have avoided the downtown congestion for years BUT I will make a point of attending this ONE.
One question ? Whose bringing the tar & feathers ?”

“Very good arguments. And in conclusion of my readings of all the terrific presentations I judge- Jail”

“Kaplan poses a fallacious argument. Intrusions by the status quo can never be defined as a protest. Only thuggery.
As an extreme example : Would Stalin and his supporters protest the small gathering? How about Hitler ?
Also , a "grass roots movement" can never be said to germinate from a well financed endeavor , headed by a ranking former politician( Armey ) , who is paid large sums of money to do , by whatever nefarious means, to accomplish his clients goals. It matters little what those goals may be or whose interests they may serve. To those " people " money is relevant , principles are not.”

“Brandon , I believe , has it reversed. The offense IS NOT how the officer responds to a person it IS how a person responds to the officer. In this instance it is a black person, of distinction, to a white officer, with a gun and the authority of the US backing him up- unfortunately. Many of us have been in similar situations. It has little to do with racism and much to do with an affront to basic dignity and respect . Similarly I , feeling more superior, to a cretin of an
officer, was subjected to a tirade of that little a**hole, suppressed my base instincts( still irks me ) fortunately. His companion showed a little distaste for the officers approach but said nothing. It is just a sad fact of life that our government gives such little men so much authority and power to those that cannot wait to exercise something that
they ordinarily never had.”

“Alec, don't be too hasty to give Madoff anything. Madoff knows the game. He's waiting until he can hide other undisclosed assets- then he'll try to make a deal. Watch all his relatives and other unindicted players -watch the trail.”

“I don't know if I agree. Like in the days of old, a couple of heads on pikes really catches the attention
of those entering the area. They quickly learn the etiquette of the region in which they travel.”

“A very passionate and reasoned articulation of the the mutated republican party.
Terrific !”

“Rule By Radio ?? The Republican leader - A RADIO TALK SHOW HOST ? How sorely pitiful is that ?
If the people you elect follow the sounds emitted from a radio what does that say about you ! What idiots !”

“Arianna you have pinpointed the approach perfectly. You correctly have annunciated the general citizenry concerns on the direction of the " bailout " .. I just hope Pres. Obama . his Cabinet and all our Representatives heed your advice. You really are are " our voice " .”

“Check out the Lehman Bros. bonuses -$ 2.5 billion !! This bail out is going to make Americans even more furious when they see the real results.”

“Sign me up Bernie.”

“THAT is the perfect approach- every time Bush promotes an " urgency " it becomes a financial catastrophe . He uses that to promote an agenda NOT in the interests of America. Similar to the S&L bailouts when Bush's buddies were able to buy banks at $ .10 on a dollar the packaged loans will be sold at pennies on a dollar and properties will be sold for outrageous profits- all at American citizens expense. The liquidity IS there NOW- private buyers are willing- the banks are preventing these deals !!”

“A very good synopsis and clarification by Paul Waldman. He concisely points out the duplicity in the Repugs current drumbeat. The point is simple, not difficult for any elementary student , but the repugs, with little else to promote their candidate must make an issue when in reality there is NONE. The McCain campaign advisors spew forth some stupid vomit and the subservient dogs at FOX like Hannity lap it up to be regurgitated to the anxiously awaitng pack. Fairness is a cry from the prey and balance is precariously standing on two legs pretending to be close to human. The game is over we all know the republican strategy- stop giving any credence to this stupid argument.”

“Why did Dr. Guptya originally offer contrary
statistics to your film ? Why was that so important to him as well as CNN. Why couldn't he as well as CNN begin to affirm the failings
of the US system first ? That should have been Wolf's question. He appeared to concede only later.”
