Last night, I interviewed the man at the center of a new swirling controversy.
Stephen Lerner, a veteran union organizer, wants collective bargaining for homeowners that owe money to the big banks.
And this week, he was caught on tape talking about a "mortgage strike" against the big banks. He suggested that a large number of homeowners stop paying their mortgage until the banks agree to negotiate and modify loans.
Glenn Beck pounced on the recording. And so did Congress. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican Congressman from Utah, sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder saying that Lerner's threats "clearly constitute domestic terrorism", and asked for an investigation.
I interviewed Lerner, to get his side of the story -- his first interview since being attacked by Beck. Lerner talked about the mortgage strike idea, the big banks, the Tea Party and Glenn Beck's attack, and being accused of terrorism.
"Glenn Beck and this group of people are basically shilling for Wall Street"

Defenseless...period.
Go for it Lerner!
It’s hard to believe how many maggot-infested commies there are living in our country who have only one goal, the destruction of America. We should be weeding these bastards out and putting them in jail before they can do any more damage.
Why are these people allowed to walk the streets in a free society?
Hmmm. Start in Wall Street and work our way down?
given current trading volumes it seems a little too late.
Perhaps he could just take credit for the fall of rome.
“Why are these people allowed to walk the streets in a free society?”
We are going to NEED a bigger Gallows.
For the most part the Leftwingtards in the current regime (as well as their running dog lackeys) have absolutely no sense of scale.
“Wall Street” - the big bugaboo to these characters. How they HATE the rich, you know, the ones who pay the most of the taxes they intend to confiscate when their dreams of their Utopia come to pass.
This man is going to disappear.
It ain’t Lerner by himself...and its the 15 trillion in private retirements they’re shootin’ for.

I’d prefer to start with commie maggots like Lerner, but okay.
Would it be SO WRONG to have just a little vendetta and round up these filthy un-Americans? Most of the Dems in Congross, Chrissy Matthews, Olberdork, MadCow and a couple hundred other leftist pigs?
Some sort of executive order or something? Round ‘em up and put them in a Zoo.
Stephen Lerner is SEIU need I say more.
You owe the big bad bank money? Then pay your bill.
Looks like he already has.
How about this Mr. Lerner, you walk out on your mortgages first and we’ll watch. OK?
