They didn't waste any time pulling out their race card, did they? hey, Taibbi, hear me and hear me well, I have infinitely more respect for the able bodied black man or woman that serves me my hamburger at the drive through window than I do for the white man that sits around all day drinking beer, smoking weed, and collecting a check from the government. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of tea party types and GOP types will agree with that. It isn't about race, it never was. It's about character and values or lack thereof.

If it wasn’t for his dad’s name and influence, Matt would be nothing more than government waste numbed out on drugs.

[JohnBrowdie]

well, that didn’t take long.

It is too bad this guy is a liberal. He wrote some absolutely great articles on the financial corruption. It is hard to understand how he can be so blind on everything else. But then that is the mind of a liberal.

[Hugin]

The left are the ones who routinely use code words: “Economic justice” (socialism), “social justice” (mob rule), etc. By and large the right has no need to use euphemisms because we are proud of what we advocate.

Matt Taibbi is a talented investigative journalist. Let the dust settle before drawing conclusions.

begin transmission.

Molasses tomorrow will bring forth cognac.

end of transmission.

Judging from what I saw, he's one of them. He sat there with Kieth Olberman tonight and attacked Boehner and the tea party with the infamous leftist race card.

[max americana]

Talented or not, such nonsense only exists in the rotting brain of a lefty liberal.

[Lancey Howard]

Rolling Stone is for children.

I’m sorry, but why would he just assume that “Mexican immigrants and non-white inner city, Democratic-leaning voters” are the “those who won’t compete?” that John Boehner mentioned. Sounds like Matt Taibbi is the “racist.” He is the one doing all the assuming.

[Berlin_Freeper]

It is garbage like Matt Taibbi that make it impossible to be a racist.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Talented investigative journalists don’t go around accusing people of many different things that aren’t true. He’s not a journalist, he’s a hack.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It’s not a question of talent. He’s not talented. It doesn’t take a shred of talent to go around accusing your political enemies of outrageous garbage that simply is not true.

Matt Taibi is a FORCE to be contended with. He wrote a superb series of articles meticulously describing all the shannanigans and machinations of Goldman Sachs, and how they have historical been solely accountable for many of America's recessions.

Matt Taibi despises Governor Palin, he's written NASTY hit pieces about her.

Anyway, I advise you all to read his long articles on the BUBBLE MACHINE and remind all to, ... "Know Your Enemy" .... this one is particularly eloquent in writing.

[hennie pennie]

He is a VERY talented author.

His 2009 articles entitled, The Great American Bubble Machine how Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation - were covered by both liberal and by conservative talk radio, ALL THE TIME.

They were posted & reposted here at Free Republic at least a dozen or so times.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I don’t get the coded language thing as to the left, everything we say these days is racist.

If I ever see his name again, I'll remember that. If I remember his name.
