DOES THE GOVERNMENT THINK YOU'RE STUPID? OR A CHILD?
Since there are so many "laws on the books" already to discipline the wrongdoers, then perhaps we ought to be digging those up to punish those whose cruddy business practices have led tens of thousands of people to be foreclosed upon, some of whom must be victims not only of their own ignorance or circumstance, but also of fraud. What's that you say? Those people should just wait in line while one or two overworked States Assistant Attorneys General "look into it"? Great solution. Meanwhile, people are literally kicked to the curb.
The banksters have proven, yet again, that they cannot be trusted to self-regulate their behavior or treat their customers as anything other than foie gras geese to be stuffed with garbage until they pop. Just the threat of "some agency" telling them what to do MIGHT get them to straighten up.

<em>SEVEN DAYS IN MAY</em> MEETS <em>COME NINIVEH COME TYRE</em>
"Perry is an old man - served in the Johnson Administration and his bio says he was one of the first journalists allowed into Russia following the death of Stalin. He has got to be in his mid 80’s."
From his photo, I got this distinct impression as well. I'm pretty sure Perry has no idea about what the kids are up to these days. (the under 50 crowd, that is.)
Glad Newsmax took it down, if only so's the crazies out there don't get their hands on it.

'SILENCE EQUALS ASSENT:' WHY POINTING OUT CONSERVATIVE LUNACY MUST BE DONE
You have shown great courage in publishing this, and I hope you don't get skewered by the loudmouths for it. (And there's a lot of them out there, some with their own television/radio shows.)
It is a shame, really, that the GOP has allowed itself to be taken over by reactionaries with loony ideas. These people are simply preying on the fears of so many Americans when they are out of work, pissed off, and afraid for the future. And, let's not kid ourselves - plenty of people, when fed a steady diet of paranoia and wild ideas, and encouraged to violence - will resort to it to achieve notoriety or answer some "call". They already have.
Calling out the crazy is an excellent idea, and calling out the media when they focus on it is another good plan. The news outlets are so desperate for eyeballs that they put the most outrageous people on display, and waste everyone's time with distractions when they should be asking tough questions and providing us with information.
Keep up the good work. Lefties such as myself need good, intelligent opponents to fight the good fight.
