Too many Republicans have an emotional blind spot toward these financial entities, thinking them bulwarks of capitalism which need to be defended against Leftist excesses. Nothing could be further from the truth. These financial entities - some nominally public, some nominally private - have been staging the entire Republican vs. Democrat puppet show (does anyone really think Obama would have been elected without their approval?) They built the ever-expanding credit bubble to allow consumers to feel successful and keep attention off of the systematic looting going on.

Liberals are not wrong about this - they have just been propagandized into misidentifying the villains as some sort of Midwestern, Sarah Palin-ite, recalcitrant voters who hate progressive politics and non-whites.

Conservatives are not wrong about this - tbey have just been propagandized into misidentifying the villains as some sort of Communist Legion of Doom trying to infiltrate Wall Street and the Democratic Party.

This movie sounds like a step in the right direction.

Yep -- the crooks are very good at ginning up a "let's you and him fight" distraction while they get away scot free.
