I had the feeling Madoff’s death would be celebrated by Lefties somewhere on the internet just because he’s a Madoff, but there’s counterculture; and then there’s counterstupidity ...RELATED: "Mark Madoff Suicide: Bullied to Death?" Well, it'd be progressive bullies if he was. These are very bad people.
I don’t mean that Howie Klein is a wealthy spoiled brat who doesn’t really stand for “revolution”. I’m sure the dude is serious about his progressiveness (but given that he was the president of one of Warner Bros. record labels for more than a decade, odds are he has a bit of the capitalist pig in him).Mr. Klein, revolutionary justice is something you and your ilk must bring about on your own. No one will ever know what – exactly – prompted Mark Madoff to kill himself, but two things are certain: (1) he didn’t kill himself because you and the red horde surrounded his fancy New York co-op and left him no alternative but to hang himself; and (2) his death – as good as it must make you feel – hasn’t made for a more just society anywhere in this country.
Revolution is something you do, not something you wait for the establishment to do for you. So, by all means, Mr Klein: Bring it, comrade. Let’s dance.

Howie Klein and the Death of Mark Madoff
Following up my earlier post, The Rhetorican offers some thoughts, "Bring It, Comrade … And I Mean *You*":

ReplyDeleteNice return on the investment, Madoff. "And they lived happily ever after"

"Mark Madoff Suicide: Bullied to Death?" Well, it'd be progressive bullies if he was.
ReplyDeleteSo is it your assertion that only progressives could be expected to object to Bernie Madoff’s actions? (Not that I’m necessarily disagreeing with your assertion, but I will admit to some small amount of surprise that you are admitting such.)
