I’m sure the same media that blamed Sarah Palin for the Giffords shooting will be quick to point out that the left’s demonization of businesspeople might contribute to this.

I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to provide information to Al Quida on the whereabouts of Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs.

Has to be the most hated man on the Street.

We were engaged in a long, incredibly bloody and expensive war with the Japanese. It didn't end until we destroyed not one, but three Japanese cities - one conventionally, two with nuclear weapons. There's a historical lessen there, we seem to have forgotten.

How much longer are we going to put up with these goat-herding pedophiles?

And yet, many will state that they deserve whatever attacks come their way. Perhaps, almost unbelievably, even on this forum. <long exhale>

Fortunately, the Wall Street bankers are safely defended behind thick walls of bailout money.

Frankly, this story is BS. It is meant to cause anyone who criticizes Goldman Sachs or its related pseudopodia to be viewed as a terrorist. And in the off chance an actual banker is targeted, it's an excuse to deploy Federal security forces to defend and protect the TARP kings.


Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

I agree. A private army for those who are about to strip us of our 401K accounts to bail out underfunded municipal union pensions.

"Too late. Obummer’s already got em. "

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”
