"CEOs. Bankers. Neocons. Right wingers. Racists. White people. Zionists. The rich. fascists. Homophobes. Corporations. It's a very long list."

Very good Tom. You've done your homework well. Those terrible threatening liberals have so abused those groups you named. Why those poor folks can never again show their faces in public. They simply have no say anymore in public discourse.

Well, here's your chance pal. List them off one by one and defend them please. Tell me where we were wrong on any of them. I'm especially interested in the groups that don't fit into the category of financial. Please, show me the love you have for the racists, the neocons, and the homophobes. I can't wait to hear you tell me about their warm and fuzzy side. As for the other groups, our beef with them has primarily been about greed, general incompetence, their desire to significantly widen the gap between the rich and poor, and shirk their responsibility to give back to the country that provided them with the opportunities they began with. I'd be very curious to hear you defend them on those issues. Seems the state of the economy after decades of supply-side economics just doesn't square with your desire to paint them as successful, patriotic, and responsible.

Come on. I'm sure you have a chart somewhere to prove just how wrong we were about guys like Lee and blowhards like Rush Limbaugh. I'm certain that some website in your favorites list can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the unfettered free market has been good for our pocketbooks.

Oh, and by the way where do you get off stating categorically that we've been targeting all CEO's and corporations? I happen to have the utmost of respect for many of them but there's a huge difference between the corporate culture of Costco compared to that of Walmart. If you're going to post a list of the entities we despise, please at least get it accurate.
