Kristol: ‘Thank God Most Of The Workforce Isn’t Unionized’
Kristol: ‘Thank God Most Of The Workforce Isn’t Unionized’
Earlier this week, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh was dropped from an investor group that was trying to purchase NFL’s St. Louis Rams franchise. Limbaugh’s involvement with the group sparked a week of controversy due to his history of racially divisive commentary. African-American NFL players said they “wouldn’t play” for Limbaugh’s team while the head of the NFL’s players union said he opposed Limbaugh’s bid because sports are meant to reject “discrimination and hatred.”
On Fox News Sunday today, the “All-Stars” jumped to Limbaugh’s defense. NPR’s Juan Williams set up a false comparison, claiming that people don’t complain about MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann announcing football games even though he makes “divisive” statements about conservatives. The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol used the NFL player’s union’s opposition to Limbaugh to attack unions in general, saying “thank God most of the workforce isn’t unionized”:
KRISTOL: Thank God most of business isn’t a monopoly. Thank God most of the workforce isn’t unionized. Why could this happen? This could happen because all the NFL players are in one union. Because all the NFL owners are in one club and pressure can be put on them. Thank God there’s more diversity in this country in terms of different industries and different businesses. And people can be controversial and can still find places that are willing to have them.
Watch it:
Kristol’s attack on unionization ignores the fact that unions are good for the American economy since unions help workers secure higher wages and greater benefits. Additionally, the collective bargaining of unions give workers the ability to shape the conditions of their employment, as the NFL players union successfully demonstrated.
According to Dan Lebowitz, executive director of the Center for Sports and Society at Northeastern University, the NFL has 78 percent African-American players. Because the player’s union has leverage, that means the players won’t have to work for someone who said just two years ago, “the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

Billy? Go fu(k yourself, please. You do damage every time you open your mouth.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:03 pmYep! God has everything to do with unionization.

good chuckle there… wow.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:09 pmNPR’s Juan Williams set up a false comparison, claiming that people don’t complain about MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann announcing football games even though he makes “divisive” statements about conservatives.
Keith never tried to buy a football team and never made racially insensitive and insulting comments. He also never insulted the sport of football.
What these idiots don’t seem to understand is that Rush wasn’t kicked out because he was a conservative, he was kicked out for his RACIAL comments.
Also, the NFL donates more to republican politicians than to democratic ones, so I don’t see how that could possibly fit into their “anti-conservative” bias.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:15 pmThank God that most of talk T.V. isn’t Bill Kristol.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:19 pmKristol runs his mouth ad infinititum, and is always wrong about everything.
FoxNews appreciates the many “errors of his ways” and happily employs him to spew his lies and venom into the households of the dim bulbs and dingalings across the land.
His pompous arrogance fits nicely with with his utter incompetence.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:19 pmBloody Bill is probably very sorry that he can’t own slaves, or be a feudal lord in his castle with the right of droit du seigneur.
Bastard. STFU, you medieval MORON!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 12:20 pm.

Did Juan still put for (R)acist (R)ush, or did he just pine for him?

October 18th, 2009 at 12:24 pmLittle Billy CryStal was on quite a roll this morning. I think he is growing very desperate these days. After all, FoxSnooze is one of the few life-boats left for washed-up pundits like him. His PNAC has dried up and his magazine ad revenues are declining. Where is a brown-nose knee-jerk reactionary neo-conservative twit like him going to be able to make a living these days?
Why, he may even have to consider joining a union!
October 18th, 2009 at 12:24 pmCan someone tell me what exactly the union did? Didn’t they just voice their opinion on Limbaugh’s potential ownership? Since when is that a problem?
I guess that right to assemble only applies to churches and corporations. When workers assemble to advance their position it is somehow wrong.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:25 pmJust as soon as I begin having a shred of confidence in Juan, he starts Uncle Thommin’ again.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:25 pmIsn’t Crystal a member of a union? AFTRA . . . Where does he get off complaining about unions? Everyone on that set in front of a camera is a member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists with a pension plan and medical coverage. The pot calling the kettle black.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:27 pmOnce again, Kristol opens his mouth and stupidity comes flowing out.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:27 pm.
Thank God that (R)ush is NOT part of the Owners group…
… Managing members of the NFL Union.

October 18th, 2009 at 12:28 pmThis is just more Kristol meth.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:29 pmIsn’t Crystal a member of a union?
One man’s union is another man’s “professional organization”, I guess.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:29 pmThe NFL capitalists made a decision based on the bottom line: They think Rush would have damaged their product. The Players” Union has nothing to do with this. The owners are conservative in every sense of the word. They don’t want controversy, they don’t want surprises, they don’t want an owner who thinks he’s bigger than the game. they want a controlled message and product.

October 18th, 2009 at 12:32 pmKeep in mind that this is all a red herring, Rush’s investor buddies dropped him.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:33 pmAll that bold talk by Rush about them and him hanging tough together on their bid like “pioneers” ……POOF! gone in less than 24 hours.
Incompetent Wingnut Welfare collector disparages organizations that are formed to help people who actually WORK for a living.
May I ad that some of those union members actually have skills to market, unlike Incompetent Wingnut Welfare Collector who is a professional liar, and not even a very good one at that,
October 18th, 2009 at 12:33 pmSean Hannity is a much more skilled liar.

Why are Republicans always babbling about personal liberties until it goes against their agenda. Professional football players worked harder and are more talented than all the other guys who wanted to be professionals. But Kristol thinks they should be treated like peons and forced to work for somebody they hate. Then again he probably wishes black people were still slaves.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:34 pmThank you William Kristol for once again confirming how cluelessly perverse you are. One must work long and hard at the the practice of self delusion to become so completely inured to the reality of the world, and Bill Kristol has never stinted in that work.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:36 pmHi aaronk.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:36 pmWas that 26 or 28 people you employed or was that supervised? How did that work again?
I think Kristol is just a great walking and talking advertisement for the Republican party. He turns off many middle class blue collar voters who form a substantial voting bloc. You add these voters to the ones that are horrified at the thought of Sarah Palin as the next presidential candidate and you have the makings for a landslide for the Dems. Kristol should keep talking on Fox because it is the perfect way for him to spread his bad advice to the Republicans. The party will keep shrinking until there are very few left, and Kristol will still be dispensing bad advice. This is a great strategy. At least for the Dems, it is great.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:36 pmDetroit is a shining example of white fear of black people.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:36 pmProve that detroit unions were bad in any way. Just prove it fool.
Go ahead and try to convince us that the workers made the bad decisions that destroyed our auto industry. Go ahead fool.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:37 pmKristol is either too stupid or too much a liar to admit it has nothing to do with unions. It has everything to do with lies, hatred, racism, & personal attacks on the part of Limbaugh.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:38 pmYeah, it was crying shame those nasty old unions made the car companies decide what kinds of cars to make.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:39 pm17. evangenital well describes Kristol’s rant as “kristol meth”. I suggest that “kristol myth” is a degree more accurate.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:40 pmMost unions already have sufficient issues with management and owners that they don’t need the addition of a shit flinger like Blimpo. If Billy Kristol had ever done an honest days work in his life, he’d understand that.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:41 pmAnd all those nasty legacy health insurance costs. They shouldn’t have made the health insurance companies jack their rates 400%. That was just evil of them.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:42 pmWe should all be careful what we say here. If Billy Kristol sees this, he may take the leash off his new Best Friend Forever, Lynn Cheney, and she’ll give us what for.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:44 pmIronically, there are retired auto workers in Florida, with generous pensions and health care plans, who rail against the unions.
Go figure.
Those clowns would have been stuck in rental apartments in their hometown suburbs if the union had not gone to bat for them.
They sum up the repiggie philosophy – “I’ve got mine. Screw you.”
October 18th, 2009 at 12:44 pmoh yea… another chuckle i got this morning – after the initial “whaaa???!!!” that scared my cat away – came from george s. on abc…
after he introduced the panel, the last being nobel winning economist paul krugman, he asked a question about the economy…
and who did he first turn to for an answer? why, none other than baseball historian, george will! why not???
October 18th, 2009 at 12:45 pmOf course, there is also the base line that the car companies got into trouble because of misunionment.
Hmmm, I don’t think thats the word I was looking for.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:45 pmThe higher the unemployment rate goes the more likely that unions will gain power.
A strong union could have stopped the banking melt down.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:45 pmHave the rest of you noticed how quiet the repiggies have been lately on Social Security and Medicare?
They are unprincipled scoundrels and liars, every last one of them.
Don’t for any of them in the upcoming local elections.
No matter how sane and reasonable they might appear to you, they are all party to this stuff, and they will not renounce him.
Screw them all.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:47 pmKristol, what a waste of good oxygen. I wish he would shut up.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:47 pmPost 42 should say “Don’t vote for any of them.”
My apologies…
October 18th, 2009 at 12:48 pmFrom the AFTRA site it looks like Fox splits hairs over who has to join the union more than most broadcasters. While most cover all on-air people Fox doesn’t seem to. And it appears they keep getting extensions on their contracts so they don’t have to negotiate proper terms. I think I’ll call AFTRA Monday and ask them why they are allowing this.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:49 pmIf Kristol just chose to sit quietly and fart noisily throughout the broadcast, he would have something valuable to say.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:50 pmKristol dislikes the idea that a conglomerate of individuals in a union can lobby Congress. But he does not criticize the business community which lobbies Congress. This is the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:54 pmDetroit got into financial trouble because they agreed to pay for HEALTH INSURANCE for retirees and health insurance costs have skyrocketed. Health insurance and workman’s compensation costs are the biggest problem for most businesses because no matter how slow your business is these expenses still have to be paid.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:56 pmKRISTOL: Thank God there’s more diversity in this country in terms of different industries and different businesses. And people can be controversial and can still find places that are willing to have them.
Yes thank God America is diverse enough that a racist can make 40 million/year by polluting the airwaves with hate and bigotry
October 18th, 2009 at 12:58 pmThank God I have other channels I could be watching.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:59 pmIf Kristol just chose to sit quietly and fart noisily throughout the broadcast, he would have something valuable to say.
I thought that was what he does. And I wondered how they kept anyone in the studio.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:59 pmI thank the great one in the sky I belong to a union.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:00 pmKristol should thank God that his last name is Kristol and that Fox news employs him — without those two facts, he’d be an unemployed, unskilled, nobody.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:07 pmI think Kristol is the most smarmiest dick repug that there is. That smart ass smile needs to get wiped off his face.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:09 pmMany people today have no understanding of the good unions did for the workplace in America.
Things taken for granted today were fought for hard by unions.
Big business would love to return to the days of robber barons and sweatshops — working people who don’t understand what it took to get fair wages, safe workplaces and other benefits will see history repeat itself.
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:11 pmThis sounds like another created controversy the more I listen to it.

October 18th, 2009 at 1:26 pmSheriff says “balloon boy” incident a stunt and hoax. NO SH#T!
This raw, open racism must be challenged at every turn. Why Juan Williams would say what he did just boggles the mind. Limbaugh is a hate mongering racist who also happens to be a conservative on other issues. Olbermann is a liberal who goes after the likes of Limbaugh but without the hate — calling someone the worst person in the world is hardly hate speech when tied to an event as Olbermann does. What is the matter with Williams that he defends a hate mongering racist while going after someone for deploring Limbaugh’s racism. It smells like Rupert Murdoch had a little talk with Williams and told him to get on board. Williams obviously choose to remain Fox’s token minority.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:27 pmThank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for teaching the working class to form unions!
October 18th, 2009 at 1:30 pmSure, Billy, unions are at fault.
I mean, who would have imagined that black men would have an issue with being owned by a racist.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:32 pmTranslation:
October 18th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
The hate and lies come from Republican conservatives. Keith Olbermann only calls out those who lie, smear and make racist comments. IMO-Williams is just another uncle tom who is playing along with the lying creeps at Fox to keep his job.
Comparing Keith Olbermann to the hateful crap that comes from conservatives is like comparing apples and oranges. It’s just not the same thing.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:38 pmThis Kristol jack as$ should be grateful the Fox Propaganda Network can peddle their ignorance to their zombies.
The 40 hr. work week, extra pay for overtime, minimum wage, work safety conditions, SOCIAL SECURITY, equal opportunity employment without discrimination based on gender, age, race, or religion.
ALL achievements of the Progressive movement and Unions.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:42 pmNot through the good intentions of greedy a-holes like Kristol, Krauthammer, Forbes, and the rest of the supposed “conservative” intelligentsia.
Y, billy – that sure is a good thing, for you anyway,
because if it were still true, then this would be the country everyone wants it to be, with more happy families and better lives, you know – the one from the ’50’s that you people are constantly venerating even though your policies have dismantled it and done their calculated best to prevent its return,
and you’d be out of a job.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:43 pmLabor unions should buy Fox News or start their own channel. I hear or see very little Labor news, its all slanted towards Wall street.

October 18th, 2009 at 3:04 pmThe article states, “Kristol’s attack on unionization ignores the fact that unions are good for the American economy since unions help workers secure higher wages and greater benefits.”
Unions are either good or bad for the American economy depending on whether they move wages and benefits toward or away from an appropriate portion of revenues.
In the main, unions are beneficial because they give workers a unified voice versus a profit maximizing management who see wages and benefits as the easiest costs to minimize.
However, there are many examples of companies sans unions wherein employees benefit without unionization. It depends on whether management sees employees asw partners in the enterprise.
In the main, unions form when management sees employees as resources to be engaged at minimum total cost.

October 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pmI was a member of the IBT for some years. Unions are not anything like what I hear people talk about them. Many of my fellow workers had been in the military. Our wages were average. It was not a socialist/communist group and its operating costs came from union dues, from the workers wages. Hell the bowling team from other non-union places I worked were more socialist. Heh.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:16 pmI’m happy. Not about anything to do with unions or politics. Just that once in awhile you get a public reminder that money isn’t everything.
While rush can buy his way into prescription pain killers, he is having trouble here.
Thank god money isn’t everything.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:17 pmNot quite sure why Rush even wanted to buy into the Rams and the NFL … he’s already got a major stake in another losing franchise, the RNC…

October 18th, 2009 at 3:29 pmFrom a purely economical point of view unions can be good or bad. it’s not so much about being unionized or not – it’s about power balance.
Employers who are much more powerful than employees (the default case) achieve unfair conditions – an undesirable distortion of the market.
It’s on the other hand possible that unions become more powerful than employers – that’s disadvantageous as well.
Power symmetry is desirable.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:38 pm—————————————————
From a politics point of view it’s just ridiculous how Republicans love independent unions as an expression and bulwark of freedom – in socialistic countries. They hate unions as socialistic cancer – in their own country (and if they oppose the plans of the U.S. government or U.S. corporations).
Kristol is correct. Weekends, holidays, sick days, vacation days, benefits, these are all terrible, terrible blights on society.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:39 pmThere is an old saying among history buffs…the barbarians always win in the end.
The only reason this has been true is that the ‘barbarians’ bring new ideas, new life to decadent, stagnant societies. Wouldn’t it be a kick in the pants if a society could embrace new ideas without passing the torch?
Some might call that growing up.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:48 pmShorter Kristol: “Thank gawd Americans are being paid slave wages, have lost their jobs, and look to me as their infidel who has all the money & control so I can keep them all in line with the idea I’m on their side!”

Billy and company forget, you can’t have a consumer economy unless you have consumers. And you can’t have consumers unless someone pays them enough to consume. Or provides the jobs, other than at Taco Bell and Walmart, to have a vibrant middle class.

The idiots on the right don’t get the difference between Keith Olbermann and Rush Limbaugh.
While both express their own opinions, Olbermann’s opinions are based on reality and facts and doesn’t depend on hate or fear mongering, or distorting the truth and has been critical of President Obama and the democrats in the past.

Thank God that Republican tax cuts for millionaires/billionaires/trillionaires didn’t plunge the entire world into a deeper recession/depression. 60 million Americans without health care and a 10% national unemployment rate is more than my heart can handle.
Not to mention, over 8,000 U.S. Marines died in Iraq for George W. Bush’s lies.

There are a few xenophobic righties out there nursing violent fantasies about “purifying” the U.S. Of course, these nutbags tend to be abject cowards who’d wet themselves in the real world, but the anonymity of the internet allows them a chance to pretend they’re not quite as powerless and terrified as they actually are.

October 18th, 2009 at 8:27 pmKristol seems to think it’s OK for a business to fire you if you violate a “morals” clause in your contract, but the business owner himself should not be held to any moral accountability (and if blatant racism isn’t a moral issue, I don’t know what is). The NFL and the players decided – correctly – that Limbaugh is a stain on the brand and his inclusion in the league would hurt the NFL’s bottom line.
In addition to which, I don’t think Limbaugh could pass the NFL’s drug test, and you can’t expect the players to eschew chemicals (or buggery) when the leadership won’t.
October 18th, 2009 at 8:29 pmKristol is fine with CEO’s making $20,000,000/year in salary and getting an additional $10-50,000,000 in bonuses as long as the CEO fires off his or her employees to make sure a profit is shown to the Wall Street investors.

Many CEOs, however, not only get huge salaries, but get more in severance pay and bonuses than most people earn in a lifetime, and after the banking and auto company meltdowns, you cannot possibly be serious that the CEOs deserve all that money. It’s simple – do well, get paid more, unless you are a captain of industry. Then you drive the company into the ground and still get paid as though you did something worthwhile.

Liar. He was abusing prescription drugs so much he lost his hearing for a while. he was sending his maid out to score oxycotin on the street for him (his maid who never produced her green card by the way…) He hired a sleazy lawyer who got him off with probation. He then got busted smuggling prescription drugs into the US.
October 18th, 2009 at 9:10 pmDo you think that smoking marijuana is an escape from reality? How does smoking pot cause one to escape from reality. My understanding is that smoking pot gives you a feeling of mild euphoria, that is to say it makes you feel good.
Is feeling good an escape from reality? Taking a long, hot bath could be considered an escape from reality because it makes you feel good also.
The question is, why do you presume that smoking pot to escape reality is somehow worse than other ways in which people escape from reality. The answer is because you, and others like you, stand in judgement of others, despite the fact that the religion you hold so dear tells you not to do so.
It is not for you to judge that a pot smoker’s escape from reality is somehow worse than someone that escapes from reality is some other fashion.
What it boils down to is you are a bigot over smoking of pot. You have pre-judged the smoking of marijuana as something bad. A common name for that is prejudice. You are a hateful person.
October 18th, 2009 at 9:10 pm@171, Yeah, and I bet you watch Faux News. Talk about escaping from reality!

George Bush in the beginning of 2008 signed into law the 2009 budget (which ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009). President Obama signed into law the 2010 budget at the beginning of this year and his 2010 budget started on OCTOBER 1, 2009. See?
We’ve been living under President Obama’s first official budget for 17 days now! Soooooo, that means (pay attention Erick!)….
It is Bush’s fault! As President Obama has stated many times, it could take 2 years for a real recovery from George Bush’s hell to take place! That’s how bad Bush destroyed our country.

If anything, we’ve descended deeper into recession because the banks haven’t been revising mortgages and pumping up lending at a satisfactory rate. Small businesses can’t meet payroll because their credit is being cut off.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:32 amOOPS. again you profess your hatred of republic democracy. “NFLPA Player Representatives acting on behalf of the 32 NFL teams selected Smith to succeed the late Gene Upshaw.”
Do you realize how many people could be consider someone’s counsel in the period of 15 years? You’re saying someone who knew eric holder 10+ years ago is now a secret slave of the secret obama agenda to make Rush look like an idiot? You shouldn’t waste your time trying to connect dots that don’t exist. You’d be taken a lot more seriously if your ideology wasn’t so mindlessly rigid.

It’s about time. If people are suffering give them the pot. If people want to get pot high let em.

Rush is not a racist……
Why is it not so surprising that you who along with RumpRider on Oxy will deny racism like a junkie in denial of the fact that he or she is a junkie? Racists often deny their own racism. You own it punk.
“Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”

Rush Limbaugh loves African Americans just like Hitler loved the Jews. Something is so terribly wrong with conservative minds that hate so much.

Conservatives and moron trolls like YOU show consistantly how stupid and brainwashed you are. Keep dropping by to snivel like the punk you are though. I do love to laugh at morons as stupid as you.
October 19th, 2009 at 6:12 amOoops
Ok we get it you are stupid and you are a liar. You are a brainwashed moron dropping by to tell us what Rush TOLD you to think. Anyone who tells a caller to take that bone out of his nose which Rush ADMITTED saying in a Vanity Faire article is definitly a racist. Only people as stupid and brainwashed as YOU buy this whole Rush isnt a racist because I say so idiocy. You are a moron who is embarassing yourself. Why dont you STFU and let the adults talk?

October 19th, 2009 at 8:52 amGrab a mop right wingers!
October 19th, 2009 at 8:54 amcongratulations. When the union drives your company to be no longer competitive or profitable and you are laid off, I hope you will also give the credit where it is properly due. Also, thanks for contributing to inflated wages and increased production costs that go into the products & services that the poor have a hard time affording now. I thought you were in favor of helping the poor?
October 19th, 2009 at 8:56 amaaronk is another one of these stupid ant-union guys who thinks unions are bad for America. aaronk, do you think in your wildest dreams you would be making what you are, if it hadn’t been the threats of unions? Do you really think your boss would be paying you what he does if not for unions? Wake up dumb ass.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:57 amAaron You are DISGUSTINGLY STUPID. ALL wealth is made by those who WORK. I dont see you snivelling about the millions paid in bonuses for high officials. You are a brainwashed moron. You clap about the excessess and snivel like a punk about a working man making enough to give his family a good life. YEAH its worth that much and MORE. The companies didnt get in trouble because they paid their workers too much. I make FAR more than thirty dollars an hour and my company has been in good financial health for more than a hundred and fifty years. What hurt the car companies is that while their competitors mainly Japan and Germany, which by the way MORON are ALSO UNION, HAVE national health insurance so THEY dont have to carry the cost of healthcare not ONLY for their workers but the added costs of the uninsured also those countries have REAL pensions so the companies do not have to shoulder THAT burden. My GOD you are so stupid, so gullible and SO brainwashed. You are such a good aparatchik for wealth that Stalin would have been proud to have a moron like you working for him
October 19th, 2009 at 8:58 amAaronk would rather Americans be paid one penny for each bolt they turn.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:58 amPOOR Aaron. You are so stupid it hurts. My company is more than a hundred and fifty years old and doing QUITE well. My job has BEEN union for more than a hundred years you ignorant pile of dogshit. I hope YOU DIE face down in the gutter with rats gnawing at your earlobes. I cant wish ill for your family because YOU are so insufferably STUPID
October 19th, 2009 at 9:00 amaaronk, are you sure that’s all they do? I wouldn’t go dissing someone’s job unless you knew all of the things that they do. This isn’t flipping burgers we’re talking about here.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:01 amI know for a fact aaron is far too stupid to do my job. He wouldnt last a week.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:03 am“I hope YOU DIE face down in the gutter with rats gnawing at your earlobes.”

October 19th, 2009 at 9:03 amAaronk hates Bath Iron Works here in Maine who build America’s warships. They turn nuts & bolts for $50+/hour!
They’re pondscum, huh Aaronk? You want to have them all fired don’t you?
October 19th, 2009 at 9:05 amaaron is SUCH a moron he buys the stupid propaganda that goods cost more ONLY because of wages. When its well known that things cost what companies can GET. So he wants all workers to get peanuts so that the RICH can pocket more and more money. My GOD you are stupid aaron
October 19th, 2009 at 9:05 amI guess we should cut aaron some slack it must SUCK to know you are so stupid all you can do is regurgitate what Rush TOLD you to think. aaron is a moron is that really his fault?
October 19th, 2009 at 9:11 amIsn’t Bill Kristol a member of AFTRA – American Federation of Radio & TV Artists? If so, they need to take away his union card.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:12 amRush Limpballs would be screaming into a dead mike if it wasn’t for those union techs who put him on the air.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:15 amAlso aaronk, when you are getting you daily brainwashing from Rush Limbaugh today, keep in mind that he is a union member.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:19 amI own my own businesses. I haven’t worked for a boss for 6 years, and even then it was in sales where most of my money came from commission, so NO….I DON’T THINK THE UNION CONTRIBUTED TO MY MONEY!
October 19th, 2009 at 10:59 amLadies & Gentlemen….I present to you…..PROGRESSIVISM!
October 19th, 2009 at 11:01 amIronic that someone who claims to be so smart, can’t even distinguish “fact” from “opinion”
October 19th, 2009 at 11:03 amBy the way. I respect and encourage employee’s rights to organize into unions, and I understand the principle behind the intent. In a free society, people should certainly be able to pull together to gain leverage and ask for more money, benefits….etc. That doesn’t mean I think they are always great for the economy, nor do I think they are always bad for the economy. A blanket statement either way would be ignorant.
My problem is when the government comes in and makes laws favoring one side or the other.
October 19th, 2009 at 11:06 amDo you mean like when the President of the United States personally starts union busting?
Your problem is that you are a liar and a brainwashed fool.

I’m guessing you don’t realize the conflict in your statements. I mean, we could “deflate” wages, but wouldn’t that just make more people poor?
Not that they aren’t already that is. Since the “inflated wages” you’re talking about are actually living wages, which unions help insist companies pay their employees, instead of trying to get away with slave labor – as most would do if it weren’t for labor watchdogs on their backs.
October 19th, 2009 at 11:25 amYes
October 19th, 2009 at 11:25 amThen why do you only complain about the existance of unions, but not about Republican policies designed to destroy unions?
