Anyone recall this much concern about our pensioners when the Rethugs and our media were ...

... calling for the death of our American auto industry? Matter of fact they were actually using pensioners against us adding that cost into the hourly rate to make it appear that autoworkers were making 70 dollars an hour. Remember the little snake Andrew Ross Sorkin doing that in the NYT? Now I hear that same snake on my TV telling us we should be concerned with the pensioners. All they can all talk about is how we need to be concerned with the British pensioners if BP goes broke trying to clean up their mess.

I sure don't remember one word of concern about the effect our auto industry going under would have on our pensioners. Do you?

I guess all pensioners are not be created equal?

2. And I don't remember the media sticking microphones

in peoples' faces after Katrina and asking "Is the president doing enough?".

4. Our corporate nooze media is a huge part of the problem.

They serve their masters, and aren't the least bit concerned with facts when "informing" the public.
