cre8tiff Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Nice, completely out of context sound bite of a message that actually, most in America would agree with. 82% of America, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, first of all, there's nothing in your post that contradicts what posty indicated. The two are not mutually exclusive. Secondly, since I'd like to see for myself, does anyone have text of the speech? I couldn't find with Google. I'd like to know about the context.

Secondly, since I'd like to see for myself, does anyone have text of the speech? I couldn't find with Google. I'd like to know about the context. Text: "Those crackers up there on wall street, you know the ones I'm talking about, those Jews, them Western European Crackers, WHITEY!!! That's who I'm talking about... They make all the money, they keep you and me and your neighbor and your neighbors neighbor down. We have to watch as they make all the money, as they horde it away, too much money... I ask you, and you, and you... I ask America, can you have too much money!?! I say YES, YES, those crackers can have too much money. What's working fine for them wasn't working for ordinary Americans and we've learned that clearly it doesn't work out fine for the country; its got to change. Now, what we're doing... I wanna be clear, we're not, we're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned... I mean, I do think at a certain point that you've made enough money. Too much money off of the backs of the slave, off of the day laborer, off of the wife and mother... Those days are perceived to be behind us, but in reality that great white iceberg is still plowing a troough through the minorities in this country and stealing all that it unocvers, leaving the masses peniless and in the cold wet dirt to root around in it's wake for what it hasn't completely pulverized.

Furd Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Of course, the quoted portion in the title of this thread is correct. The question is, what is that "certain point?" One man's $50 million is another man's $2 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One man's $50 million is another man's $2 million. Which is why I'm asking for the context. The gov't has absolutely no business telling anyone how much money is "enough". So cre8tin, please show me the text and tell me what's out of context? Because it certainly goes along with his "spread the wealth" comment. The obamessiah's handlers must just cringe when he goes off-script... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 he'd better hope the evil rich people don't decide they agree with him, and say "OK, I have enough money, I don't need to make any more"...because then who is going to pay for all of this schit?
