Post by: Crushed on February 10, 2009, 12:58:38 PM: The craziest gold standard thing I ever heard was from this guy on SA called TobleroneTriangular. He talked about something imaginary called "purestrain gold" and how it had magical inherent worth. He also liked talking about the dark cabal of international bankers.

Ugh, Rush reeks of hypocrisy and fucktardedness. How that man hasn't fucking keeled due to drugs and weight issues, let alone sheer stupidity, stuns me.

At least Hannity pretends to have a shred of dignity.

Someone is forgetting the time when Hannity gave a holocaust-denier a national platform to spread lies about Obama.

Post by: Cheebs on February 10, 2009, 01:38:44 PM: I turned to Hannity a few weeks ago and his "panel" was himself, two conservative WSJ columnists and FRAN DRESCHER representing liberals. And was them 3 pestering her with detailed questions about the stimulus and proceeding to mock her for not knowing enough about it implying her lack of knowledge was obvious the same for all liberals. Painful.

It's a spoof on how liberals were celebrating deaths in Iraq during the Bush administration.

But which ad do I trust, the "Invest in Gold" ad, or the "Put all your gold in a big paper bag and send it to us and we'll give you money" ad?

This pretty much sums up why things are so fucked- Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb, two guys who had the foresight to see the shitstorm coming, are trying to talk about how the system itself is fucked and needs to be reworked, and the idiot CNBC anchors keep asking them for stock tips. Those jackholes don't get it- the system is broken, and they think it will be ok again in six months or so. distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.
