cecilmeyer Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The Freep is covering this little douchebag..... http://www.freep.com/article/20091230/BLOG...fall-of-Detroit So the state of Detroit has nothing to do with the massive job losses and everything to do with the unions?If the unions are the problem why didn't the big 3 relocate all of those jobs to the non-union southern states?What did they do?Moved them all to the third world slave labor countries where they have to pay their workers basically nothing.How about it is the trade policies of the U.S Government/Us corporations that have destroyed the american economy and the middle class.This guy is nothing but a typical right wing asshole spouting the usual free market lies.Just keep working hard and it will all turn out right for you.Its the american dream.Read the words closely "AMERICAN DREAM".

Hard Driver Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 A very good friend who is a retiree commented on this video after I emailed the linkto him when it first came out. I couldn't have said it better! Comments are below. This fellow is typical of the simple minded conservatives who defend the system by blaming the victims. Unfortunately, Fox caters to these idiots. Conservative media thrives on beating up those who try to make life better for their fellow humans. In their world mammon rules, and Christ is a sinner because he wants to share the wealth, defend the needy, stand for justice, and extend mercy. May the Lord control my anger! Second response I get angry at people who will not report the truth. If we met this fellow and had a chance to talk we might be able to discern his motives. Any one who grew up around Detroit knows that this man has not studied the situation that is carefully cropped by his camera and controlled by his words. It's clear, that he doesn't know the history of the auto industry or the union movement. I doubt that he understands the damage that poor social, industrial and trade policies have inflicted on the area. Even worse, I get the idea he believes only the big time investor class is entitled to the fruits of labor's work, and that the working class should be happy with whatever the "boss man" is willing to give. If this fellow has a good heart, an honest dialogue might be possible. We could take him for a tour, without his camera and mike, interview people who have lived through the good and the bad, discover what his vision of a good world is, and then come away with a decent appraisal of his character. Short of that, we'll have to leave the judging of his motives to God. Like you, my immediate reaction is an instant dislike of this man. Then, that is what he most likely wanted to achieve. Polarize people. Make it easy for his viewers, by showing only two sides: the good versus the bad. And, since he has the camera and the mike, his twisteded view becomes the reality of the moment, seen on computer monitors and TV screens. Centered in his viewer for all to see, are the bad guys ---- you, me, and our brothers and sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilTwin Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 WOW...Harddriver that is an outstanding responce ...my kudo's. These folk's were definatly trying to put a negative spin on the U.A.W. If we're responsible for Detroit than I suppose we should take credit for Bloomfield Hills too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFordJim Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Most of you guys have been working for the company for awhile. Don't any of you know by now that in the companys eyes and the publics eyes, that when something goes wrong in the industry, it's our fault, UAW members. When things go right and there's huge success, it's because of the brilliant mgt decisions at the top.We had nothing to do with it. It's always been like that, always will.

I suggest you write a letter to Bob King (like him or not) encouraging him to organize something like that. I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
