Wow! who is Dylan yelling at?!
he's really pissed at this guy from the Chamber of commerce.

Apparently AIG gave $20 million to Chamber of Commerce to fight public option. Same AIG that survived because of the taxpayer bailout.

WOW! Wish i had heard the start of that interview, hope it is posted later.

2. So in essence our money went to lobby against health care reform,
against banking reform, against anything that would help us. I think of all my hard work to earn that money so that the tax man can give it to a lobby firm to fight against me.

And Obama says maybe next year he'll get us some jobs, maybe.

8. He's on a nasty roll
as later in the show he is talking over Barney Frank too. I agree with him but he's going to have to be more respectful or he won't get anymore guests. While the Chamber of Commerce always behaves in a way that many of us don't agree with Barney Frank usually gives an on target answer to questions. Wonder what he is really mad at?

3. that nasty POS is the President of the (star) Chamber of Con-merce.
He tried to say that bailing out the banks was not anti-competitive, and he had previously written that the banks were too big to fail. Dylan was on top of his shit from the get go.

7. That C of C Tool
will just have to go on Faux News to get his talking points in.

I remember when the C of Commerce helped consumers by holding
it's members to certain standards of fairness in dealing
with "customers".
I guess there is more money in being big biz pimps.

13. The chamber and AIG should be the "ACORN" treatment, then.
Yank all their funding and attack them as corrupt throughout.
