But I’ll bet that Pinch Sulzberger still doesn’t know why his paper is going out of business.
And more thoughts from Matt Welch on the media narrative and its double standards:
Constituents Using a Forum to Register Displeasure With Representative: Spooky!* 700 Angry Protesters on a Bankster’s Front Lawn: “About damn time”
Can you imagine if DC police had escorted a mob to the house of a news exec during the Bush administration? See, that would be fascism. But Obama’s purple-shirted thugs? Not so much.
The union wouldn’t try that in Texas, well…maybe once.
I like the picture of Pachauri. Did he forget to comb his head that morning or are his ears two feet long and he’s wearing an earring?
So the police are union members first, cops second? Good to know.
Titus, I think you’re reading Bill wrong.
This asshole banker (actually, one of those words is redundant) should count themselves lucky that the protesters were only carrying placards and not barrels of tar and sacks of feathers (at best) or a nice long, strong rope (at worst).
No punishment is too strong for any member of the Wunch. The damage they have done through their own greed is measurable in trillions of dollars – not to mention millions of ruined lives. The latter not only among those who borrowed irresponsibly, either.
Fletcher, the banker WASN’T HOME. That mob terrorized a kid to make their phony, irresponsible and UNTRUE political point.
That you support them for doing so tells us things about you that I’ve been loath to believe. You are unfit for civilization.
Too right Feltch! None of that icky “trial by peers” or “evidence” nonsense, angry mob justice is the best justice! Kill the bankers and landowners! Oust the wreckers and kulaks!
Rise Proletariat Rise!
Banks do a very simple and essential service. Politicians screw with that.
Politicians vs. Bankers. I know which one is evil.
If you think it’s the bankers forcing people to take loans they can’t repay then you lack reasoning ability.
If you think it’s the politicians using union thugs to force banks to make unsound loans… bingo, we have a winner.
Extra points if you understand that bailouts are another way to pressure banks into unsound practices.
