Not really. Watch the network news. The media and the congress are stirring up the masses. Does not anyone have a problem with an elected official stating that AIG people should be strung up with piano wire?

Wasn't this a quote from some caller to one of the news channels?

“The same is true with AIG,” he said. “It was the right thing to do to step in. Here’s the problem. It’s almost like they’ve got — they’ve got a bomb strapped to them and they’ve got their hand on the trigger. You don’t want them to blow up. But you’ve got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger.”

He (Grassley I think) was quoting a letter from a constituent. Grassley himself called for the AIG bigshots to commit ritual suicide Japanese style, which is perhaps a slightly lower level of hatred but certainly does not invalidate your point.

Who said the execs at AIG should be strung up with piano wire? That’s sick.

There ARE people who should be stung up with piano wire - - and they aren't working for AIG.

There's a reason Mussolini ended up hanging upside down from a lamp post.
