Matt Taibbi is a lying piece of shit (link)

57. in this case, I think he is more of a purist idiot

For example "Now Obama and Geithner are engaged in the same sort of activity, only they're trying to prevent a run not on an individual bank, but the entire American financial services sector."

He does not seem to realize that it might be kinda important to prevent a run on the American financial services sector.

Yet to me that statement reads like "Obama and Geithner are engaged in the same sort of activity, only they're trying to prevent a global thermonuclear war."

Shame on them!!! How dare they??? They should do the RIGHT thing, the morally PURE thing, even if that means that nuclear bombs will fall in much the same way that the rain currently isn't.

Call me a fool, but I sorta think preventing the end of civilization is a little bit more important than sending a few banksters to jail.

Nor do I think robosigning is any more fraudulent than the bills that I have paid automatically. It is just a way of computerizing something that needs to be done.
