In general, To The Point is a decent show (I am a daily listener) and I appreciate the format and diversity of viewpoints. Unfortunately, despite the important topic, none of the speakers addressed the historical causes or the political or cultural effects we're experiencing due to income inequality in a meaningful way. Offshoring, tax breaks and evasion, community incorporation, privatization, declining union membership and the effects of creating a permanent underclass received nary a mention. Pretty weak sauce.

Doesn't get much more hilarious than a labor economist under GW Bush blaming growing income inequality on the minimum wage, workers comp, unemployment insurance, and the recent healthcare bill. Are you people even trying anymore? The Manhattan Institute et al looks more and more like an Addams Family reunion every day.

Rightwing political operators seem to have a knack for these kind of "deathbed" conversions.

Holy fucking shit, they published stuff about the event in their paper?! Wow, maybe if I spent an entire day scouring Seattle I could find one! What about MIM, CPUSA, and the FSP? what of their diabolical connections? Never mind that you can fit the combined leadership of these organizations into a fucking Waffle House! It's a warped testament to your loose grasp reality that you're focused on groups with all the power of a Star Trek fan club while cheerleading policies that have resulted in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers, hundreds of thousands of "others", squandered trillions of dollars, and left the country dumber and meaner, you know, in real life.

Sooo...what was the purpose of posting this, again?

Sounds reasonable...

Meanwhile, the most liberalized border states of our NAFTA partner, Mexico approach a condition of near complete lawless barbarity. Communist Cuba is a paradise in comparison.

Be sure to let us know when the Americans get it figured out!

Well into a year of recession, a couple months before the financial collapse he helped create, five months before Obama was elected, eight years into the Bush presidency: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBVIwO5n9hk

Wait, so if liberals ruined Christmas, did Rightwingers ruin September 11th Day?

Well, it's like Glenn Beck said about MLK Day, no one owns Burn A Koran Day. Just 'cause Pastor Terry pussed out doesn't mean you have to! You go right ahead Fairweather and burn all the Korans you want on your special day.

That's all America is anymore. Fuck it...

It's practically like shooting fish in a barrel for North Korean submarines manned by environmentalists. We must tighten our borders.

These numbers are nothing compared with the efficiency gains that could be made for corporate America by getting rid of the last of the unions.

It's fake. Duh.

This is clearly a very important fire.

I love the Right's concept of race, "If we don't say 'the N-Word' everything is cool, right?" Brilliant. At any rate, Sarah Palin and Dr. Laura (the Athena and Aphrodite of the American conservative movement) will back me up!

You could as easily give me $20 to yell "*!" as loud as I could on some street-corners in South Central LA to the same effect (i.e. I would offend almost everyone and probably offend a small minority to the point of taking action). I would not however blame Africans in general for my resulting plight. Get a clue. Hey - don't sell yourself short - I'd give you at least $40 for that - but I'm glad that you've conceded my point. I'll raise you $20 if anyone can find your point.

You don't have a point.
