2. Super stuff. Telling it like it is. I am so sick of whiney millionaire investment bankers.
You know guys, when you rob people they get pissed. Even out of touch entitled millionaires should be able to understand that.

3. Attaturk
Cenk has great TV presence. I wonder if he's related to Attaturk, the national Super-hero of modern Turkey who single-handedly brought them out of the dark ages 90 years ago.

Cenk's rant tonight against the banksters crying about being mistreated by the president was perfection.

7. Take those bastards right down to their last shit stained pair of underwear!
If you don't lock them up doing hard time, they should be denied any kind of professional license. Make their only option to take whatever kind of average Joe job they could get. Teach them what it's like to start from nothing and try and make it.

17. Just like child molesters are prevented from having contact with children
Banksters should be prevented from having any contact with banking or finance. They cannot have any kind of checking or savings account, no loans or financial instruments of any sort. They can have a job, but nothing that requires handling money. Caught with any more money than your substance-level paycheck (which your parole officer has to accompany you into the payday loan store to cash) straight back to fucking jail.

18. They fear loss of wealth far more than loss of life.
Start applying some drug-war level asset seizure to white-collar criminals and you'll see things change.

Remember these are guys who get down to a few million and jump out a window. No need for bloodshed, send 'em to the financial room 101; their deepest darkest fear is poverty.

25. I can predict what would happen if we did that.
They would create a great stirring in the tea party...they would tell the tea baggers that this was it....the commies are taking over and seizing things and there would be hundreds of them go nuts with their guns.
Then a police state would be demanded by the public....and the rest you can guess.

31. That is exactly right.
They have constructed a very effective foil against any efforts to hold them accountable. Should we begin to do so, they will muster their legislators, their media, and their teabagger horde and start rounding up 'dissident commies'.

We are just a few short steps away from outright fascism.

One more Republican president, and it could be over.

of hand... well, they asked for it.  

No no no... what am I saying?  Just to belong.. hog wash..

we have to use language and create a path so that others can
use that path and
then we will not be slaves to an economy out to use us as
fodder:to kill, maim and disease.

we won't need health insurance then... we will be more well.

22. These are criminals... not regular guys. We need to recognize that we need not be duped...
We do NOT have a dysfunctional father directed democracy nor
is our economy based on a monopoly that can take us down.

Public interests must be served if American payroll dollars
are going to fill any bodies coffers.  We will turn everyone
on the left into independent businesses that pay tax on profit
and make sure every player has more than 5 customers to back
him/her up.  Then you get no payroll dollars.  And for those
that remain on payroll, we will pull those funds and create or
vote in national banks to hold the people's money. 

These are criminals, these bankers are not just greedy.  To
even speak of them with any tolerance and respect is to be
complicit in their crimes to bankrupt our country and render
us powerless.  This is our fault.  We have the power and the
language to fix this.  We need the ethics, logic, and passion
of our own creeds to pull it off.  We can do it.  There are
great people in this country, many to choose from if they
could stand up and be free.

28. Cenk for President
Run on the common sense Progressive Party ticket.

I often when it will ever come to with the conservanazis. When is enough enough? The greedy banksters need to be rounded up and shipped off to the country they love most of all: Communist China.

Cenk, putting the banksters in jail is nothing compared to stripping them of their money.
They never ever wondered who bail their sorry asses out AFTER they almost ruined the WORLD'S economy.

We've got the best democracy money can buy. It's time to get money out of our elections.
If we don't get serious about this issue, generations of American's will find out what living in a Third World country is like.

34. Sure!
Short version: He basically pulls out the sarcasm schtick and demands the WAAAAAmbulance show up and take these banking cretins outside to the woodshed, and give them each and all a taste of a hickory switch...just prior to hauling each and all to prison. Or a tar and feather enema. Your choice, $9.95 each.

In essence, he's saying these "anonymous" bankers got a lot of chutzpah to be saying Obama was being mean to them, considering we, the taxpayer, bailed their crooked asses out.

Alas, such is typical of the sociopath, eh? They. Don't. Fucking. Get. It.

30. Earth to Bankers
Oh give me a break. It is not Venus and Mars, it is Earth and Outer Space. In an era of accountability bankers need to account for the shared sacrifices they have made to making the economy better other than whining for more porridge like a poor boy from a Charles Dickens novel. So, "anonymous banker", come back to earth from outer space. The economy is on shaky ground and your questionable speculation practices instead of conservative industry-building policies are to blame.

That sort of victimization P.R. will work for a while because the gullible class will beleive anything their handlers tell them. But in the end, it is jobs and an improving economy that tell the final score and the U.S. is way behind on that tally.

As the old movie line says---"show me the money"

And you just did it again!

You stated your entirely wrong opinion that the truth is similar to a lie...that lies resemble the truth.

I really don't care about which talking head says what, but it is a fact that comparing the cautious centrist presdent to Adolf Hitler is factless and outrageous. They should be thanking Obama, not comparing him to Hitler.

Keep shaking your fanny for the Wall street banksters! I'm sure they appreciate your unshakeable loyalty.
