      Luckily only about 29 people actually watch FBC, so the impact of such terrorism will be negligible.

        Willard wears custom shirts and suits, but claims to be part of Main Street and not Wall Street. Riiiiiight.

      MMFA needs to provide us an automatic keystroke which adds the comment: "Who is this idiot, and why is he on TV?"

      It would save us a lot of typing time.

      According to the shot clock, Cody Willard failed twice.

      I realize that the best hope for Republicans is if the economy gets even worse over the next few months... but this tactic of wanting GM and Chrysler to fail is simply bizarre.

        Indeed it is a weird tactic.

        Apparently, these guys are such great Americans, that they want great, or formerly great, American institutions and businesses to, yep, fail.

        It boggles the mind.

        It's like back during the Clinton years, wasn't it Helms of Thurmond who said Clinton better not come to their neck of the woods because the people there were so patriotic, that the President might be in danger if he showed up.

          Look at it this way, they are failing, and being watched like a hawk now. Translated that means no more huge donations to republicans. It's only logical that the next step would be for republicans who will no longer be getting campaign donations from them to cut the auto industry's throats.

      If someone is going to convince me that we shouldn't try to save capitalism from itself, it's not going to be this jackass.

      I wish that the FCC would pass strict laws about news outlets and networks would be taken off the air for 30 days each time one of these lunatics gets on the air and lies. I don't care about them wishing the President would fail. That's their right but, I'm sick of reading all the garbage put out by faux news and Limbaugh. How many 30 day suspensions will it take for these idiots to simply stop the bloviating and just report the news. I'm not saying they need to play errorless baseball so to speak. Mistakes happen and most reputible news organizations will make corrections. But, the Hannity's, O'Reilly's and Limbaughs should be held to the same standards as other news outlets. They should all be simply reporting the news. If you want to be a commentator that's fine but, you'll have to drop the word news from your network if you're going to distort it!

      She may want that but she is in no position to persist, organize or accomplish it. Another talker. it would be interesting to know why. is this some campaign for save the environment. If so it is out of context. She should be pushing the green theme. These companies have already been rescued. She should have taken her nose from the table BEFORE they readjusted and restructured. Sorry hun, that was three weeks ago strategy. And you are on the new why? Do you owe citi bank, did your GM get repoed, Did AIG close your account? What?

      Cody Willard is the guy with the fascism fetish. Even his fellow Fox hosts and hostettes have been know to get on his case about this peculiar obsession.

      I'd like for one of these Troglodyte Talkers to explain the benefits of "destroying" these companies.

        Silly Nerzog. Isn't it obvious? Don't you know that thousands of job losses in our manufacturing base and continued outsourcing is our road to economic salvation?

      There are more people at a Springsteen concert than the number who watch FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL, so you really don't have to worry about that guy inciting anyone. In fact, the numbers for FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL are so bad, the company reportedly won't even release the Nielsen ratings. Sad.

      THANK YOU.
