Papantonio: The Journalism of Appeasement

America's middle class is disappearing. Millions of Americans have been looking for work for more than two years, with almost no hope of finding worthwhile employment so they can support their families. At the same time, we have major US corporations just sitting on trillions of dollars in cash who say that they don't want to create jobs because they are scared that the economy could crash again. And while most media outlets are either completely ignoring this issue or paying a little lip service to it, there are a few journalists out there with the guts to address what's really happening in America. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio speaks to one of those brave journalists -- David DeGraw, founder of the Amped Status blog.

Round them up, hang them, take the money.  The hanging part is open to negotiation, firing squad, walk the plank, boil in oil............

Take these elitist rich assholes, throw them in jail, and put their kids on the street, then see how much against they are against socialism watching their kids starve in the streets.

@cujomade101 Why are you here, go to Cuba! Isn't it so great there? You are a dumb bastard. A few of the biggest "corporate" companies are owned by liberals, but have trillions of cash on hand, offshore college educated jobs and pay their employees well below average. Get an education, would you?

As a society we are long past throwing around court orders, these people OWN the fucking courts, it is long past time to start throwing guillotines.

We don't need public "purp walk", we need public executions. Sad thing is that it would be the teabaggers doing the executing...of the wrong damn people of course..when it is the teabaggers who are the oligarchy's modern-day brownshirts!

So we are back to not being ABLE to do anything, while the raping of our world continues :(
