#48, “dro,

#47 For sure a good percentage were hired guns.

Did you blow that out your ass as you lie sunning yourself on one of Cuba’s finer beaches or do you have some evidence. Please post where you got that information.

Too bad they don’t know #45. He would’ve gone for free

I wonder if any (or many) of those protesters are “hired guns.” It’s difficult to tell.

#43 With cogent and insightful analysis like that, Pedro, you MUST be a brain surgeon.

#38 I see you’re here also. I agree with protesters. Money should be abolished, specially the one given to you by whomever is employing you.

#39 Adn, as such, paid by someone. It would be nice to know who. We know one side (the G20). Who’s the other side?

#41 The difference is that, unlike you, they seem to have a brain.

41,

The difference. Skin tint and “values”.

#39 I see many of the conservatives on the blog calling for similar action against the government. What’s the difference?

They aren’t “protestors,” they are rioters. They are the same loser anarchists that stink up any such meeting.

These people, however misguided, are protesting against what is essentially a gathering of the elite to thrash out an agreement on how to further fill their pockets and consolidate their grip on the public. What’s not to protest?

Of course the pointy heads on the blogs who claim to value liberty, and who put one their tinfoil hats and pretend that the state of the economy would be different under a Republican administration, call these people idiots and label them communists. Why aren’t YOU out in the streets protesting? Clearly you prefer to cling on to your guns and masturbate about shootin’ liberals.

# 36 freddybobs68k said, “o There’s no end in sight. There are a couple more shoes ready to drop – not least commercial real-estate.”

Yep, most people aren’t aware of this one.

o Trillions of tax payer dollars have been used in bailouts

o The bankers get multiple bailouts to the tune of billions. They don’t have to explain where it went or why.

o The car companies will likely go bankrupt + have to justify getting tax payers money (unlike the banks)

o Unemployment is shooting up with the order of 600k new unemployed every month.

o Property values have crashed with a large proportion of people in negative equity

o Bernie Madoff + his like burn billions, and nobody else is involved

o The bankers/insurance companies _knew_ what they were doing. Made huge profits. Most of the top execs are still there making huge salaries.

o There’s no end in sight. There are a couple more shoes ready to drop – not least commercial real-estate.

The question is – _why_ aren’t Americans in the streets?

There’s plenty of real things to protest about – not least why the banks/aig are consistently being bailed out, when history (and the Japanese) show its stupid.
