3. a slight disagreement on what they're outraged about
I think the media is going nuts blaming the Democrats for this mess. Have you noticed the republican talking points all day long?

The media IS the enemy, ITA.

8. Exactly.

I just posted almost the same post on another thread. Yes, Cramer was a media fool. But he participated. Just like they did in the leadup to an illegal invasion.

People died. People lost entire lives of work!

I cannot help but think that this is the Soviet America that has been hidden under a red white and blue cloak of bs.


The Wizard of Oz just continues to be the perfect analogy.

11. I don't think this dust-up is all bad.
For a long time, every attempt to level the playing field in America has been met with cries of 'Class Warfare'.

The massive attention over these bonus payments should at least help Joe Sixpack figure out who's waging war on whom.
