i heard the personal attacks against PMs start today

[chad]

a bunch of my friends from college have turned in to die hard leftists since we graduated about 16 years ago. i keep in touch with them on facebook just to see pics of kids, old photos, etc. i never talk about politics for obvious reasons. in fact, i go out of my way to play along and blend in to the crowd.

lately, all of the talk has been about occupy wall street. endless posts, pictures, discussions, etc. about the evil rich, conservatives, capitalism, etc.

today, a bunch of them were having discussions about taxing the rich and the usual blather, when one of them posted this (and i cut-and-paste):

And when it comes time to redistribute everything equally for the good of our future don't forget that all of them own Gold and Silver. Just turn on any Republitard radio show and every commercial is for Gold products. These bastards are buying fucking coins while the rest of us are starving and can't afford basic rights like health insurance or housing. Do you know any working person buying Gold or Silver coins? Of course not, only the rich do that. The rest of us are WORKING FOR A LIVING!!!!!!!!!!

this post was followed up with no less than 37 replies agreeing + talking about rich people with their PMs.

so, now i've heard it firsthand. i'm cringing too, because every other commercial on fox, glenn beck, rush, etc. IS for gold products.

well, there you have it. i suspect that sooner or later PM ownership is going to start showing up on OWS signs, msnbc discussions, tax code, etc. it's out there now.

I hope all knew this day would come.

Gold buyers caused the economy to crash by hoarding and not spending.

Damn terrists

Good thing Im in treasuries!

[Serpo]

HOLY S-H-I-T!

I'm rich!

This isn't going to end well. Wait til they find out we "hoard" brass and lead.

i'm digging through all of the replies. here's another gem:

I have read lots of stories that this is how they avoid paying taxes. They buy Gold coins instead of having money in the bank to pay taxes on. Drug cartels do this a lot in Mexico. Read up on it. Come to think of it there's not a lot of difference between criminals and Rethugs.

most of the rest of them are profanity laced rants against anyone who disagrees with obama.

Yes. As it all starts crashing, prepare to be blamed by the herd.

After all, if not for the people who selfishly bought stuff like that instead of using that "money" to buy stuff that helps keep the consumerism going, we might not have these problems.......is what they'll see.

What you should ask them is what did they do with all the "money" they had back during the so-called "good" times?
...and remind them that had they not ignored the reality of the situation then, they might be doing better now.

Granted, that would probably piss them off, but oh well. People not caring enough to want to understand are their own worst enemy.

"Yeah, and I heard one of our members here has got big gold-laced boulders all throughout his house. The guy is rolling in it while we work our fingers to the bone, living on Ramen noodles and unable to afford the latest model of Iphone. It's not fair! Boo hoo. We must take from him for the good of all of us. Besides, he didn't earn those gold boulders; he found them!!! I mean, anyone can prospect for and find gold. It's not like he earned a liberal arts degree in Political Science - that is a real accomplishment!"

Reminds me of these maroons.

Chad,

I think you should play along and respond to this Marxist wannabe as follows:

I don't understand what you're saying. Why do you want to take these people's silver and gold? They are just metals, archaic relics of the past. They have no real value like a college degree or coupon for a Starbucks Latte. You can't create a job with them. You can't grow food or educate someone with them. Why do you care if some deluded fool has silver and gold? What would you do with it?
