i am a conservative too but you know those scum bags at aig deserve to be hung for fucking hard working people over while they sit in their million dollar homes drinking 800 dollar wine

I agree with you on some level, but I think the answer is that the government should have never bailed AIG out in the first place. The problem with this Blumenthal guy is that once the government did bail out AIG, the contract between AIG & the government approved the bonuses which the AIG executives received & Blumenthal attempted to take that money back. If the government can void a contract, then its word means nothing. Just another example of government interference making the problem worse!

[williambellor]

One other point; during the government reorganization or AIG, the executives within AIG who caused this mess were replaced with new executives and the new executives were the ones who were supposed to get the bonuses if certain benchmarks were achieved. The people who got the bonuses were not the ones who created the mess, so blaming them for AIG's problems is not really fair.

Also, slamming a person for having a million dollar home or drinking an $800 bottle of wine isn't fair either!

There is nothing wrong with being wealthy provided you didn't break the law to get rich. People (including the President) may think that executives are paid too much, but executive compensation is no ones business except the executives themselves & the shareholders.

We all want to be rich someday (myself included) & I'm far from it right now. But just because I am not rich now doesn't mean I think we should take the money from those who are; if I become rich someday, I want to keep my money!

2:10 "you should enforce the law" Beck rocks, plan and simple. Thank you, thank you!!

[BeadStallcup]

Glenn Beck is a bit strange but, he is right on this one! This mealy mouthed Connecticut AG has no authority to act outside of the law, and he is using his elected position as just that, a bully pulpit. But why? That really is the question.

@bigh124 if that blonde monkey lent him the opportunity to explain himself you would see why.

[Visfen]

I really really don't care about the AIG bonuses, considering the government is spending trillions the problem is hardly a couple of millions that some people at AIG get.

How the hell did this guy win the CT senate?

Blumenthal blunder "it should be against the law"

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

Good grief, what an ELITIST this guy is. It's not against the law, but since he THINKS it should be, somehow that gives him the authority to go in and do something about it. Wow. Talk about the progressives going for "rule of man" other than "rule of law."

[ThunderAppeal]

Beck could have done a better job going after blumenthal but I'm with beck all the way on this.

[ThunderAppeal]

@BeadStallcup Because the creature known as blumenthal is bought and owned by the 'old money' in connecticut. The 'old-money' being the rich liberal elitist slime.

Bet that douchewad won't come back to the Beck show :).
