Michael Bloomberg reignites online war

By: Tim Mak November 2, 2011 09:59 AM EDT

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg re-ignited bitter blogosphere feuds with his comment that the “Occupy” movement should blame Congress, not Wall Street, for the nation’s economic woes.

“It was not the banks that created the mortgage crisis. It was, plain and simple, Congress,” Bloomberg said.

Conservatives were more than happy to add an “amen” to Bloomberg’s remarks,which reopened old arguments among bloggers about the root cause of the 2008 financial meltdown.

“Nice to see you join the Occupy Truth movement, Mr. Mayor. A lot of us have been saying that same thing for years,” said a blogger on the conservative SisterToldjah, adding that it was a “refreshing, rare burst of truth” from the billionaire mayor.

But progressive commentators on the web lost it, hurling a combination of insults and derision at Bloomberg.

The mayor is an “ignoramus…who just swallows right-wing propaganda whole,” wrote economist and New York Time columnist Paul Krugman on his blog. “Some centrist hero.”

“The fact is that for any public figure to go with the Congress-did-it argument at this stage is for him to reveal both that he is grossly ignorant about the central policy issue of the day and that he gets his ‘analysis’ from right-wing flacks,” added Krugman.

“The supposedly liberal New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg should know better than to peddle that crap,” added Joan McCarter at the liberal Daily Kos. “It’ll make Bloomberg’s 1 percent buddies happy to hear him stick up for them, but it’s still a lie.”

Wall Street  - all along w the regulators - just made money off the sam congress created.

Bloomberg stated the truth. Approving loans for people who were on the "fringe". People who should not have been approved for any mortgages.

bloomberg is anti-gun, and has said all illegal immigrants should come to NYC for their treatment, since NYC has the resources and compassion.

So I think anything else out of his mouth should be considered with the same sense of true conservatism & common sense.

But, when it comes to this issue he is correct. If he is not, then educate us.

see libs don't do that.  they don't disagree with some things a politician says and agree with others.  they pick a guy, pledge allegiance to him and disregard any and all criticism. 

i've said many times that the clinton administration made a concerted effort to subsidize the housing industry.  liberals ALWAYS refute this because they know that it is a perfect example of what happens when government gets too involved with private industry.  the scapegoat is now Wall Street.  Bloomberg has known this for a long time.  I think he's getting older and he just doesn't care about the backlash anymore.  The liberal media is going to crucify this guy.  watch.

He would like to disarm armericans, so he hates the constitution.
He would like to open the borders for free health care for illegals, so he hates americans.

I have to start everything from Bloomy with "From a guy who hates the constitution and hates americans, blah blah blah..."

It's no wonder he hates one of the branches of our govt.  He hates a lot about our country.
