I didn't understand a thing from that clips solo...and i'm amused about the way americans use the term anti-american when they talk about corruption or legally dubious actions, just sounds a bit self-important.

LOL, she is one crazy woman, these conservatives are crazy.
The word 'anti-american' is the new catch phrase, it was terrorist before.

She didn't seem crazy in Coen's video.

It isn't self-importance, it's one political party attempting to portray anything that they dislike as un-patriotic, traitorous, socialist, communist and any other negative term they could possibly associate with those words. IMO it borders on McCarthyism and fascism. Something that I find very disturbing about our Conservative party - they are essentially telling me that because I don't believe what they do, I'm un-American; and I'm a centrist when it comes to politics. Frankly, the Americans that use the "un-American" term regarding actions occurring outside the US and fail to compare them to what happens inside the US you should just ignore anyway, they fail to use any introspection at all.

Its a big mistake to think that only one party is doing it. They do it to eachother. If you hate the conservaties because of that, you better be prepared to hate the beloved liberals for it also.

OH NO. All of a sudden businesses and corporations are going to politicians for favors.
This has NEVER happened before!
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to save GM. It was FINE with me when I got to give my tax money to the BIG THREE. But NOW they are corrupting our political system! What next?

You care correct, both parties are quite happy to run over all of us to preserve themselves and further their own selfish wants. It's simply the first time I've been directly labeled as un-American because of what I would like to see this country move towards, how I vote and because of where I live. That is the main reason for my major dislike of the Conservatives at this point; and no, I don't "hate" them, I do my best to realize that we should work towards a better country for all of us; not just the corporations, the rich, the political party, the poor or whatever special interest there is. If that means someone has to by a 100' yacht instead of a 150' yacht, fine by me. They'll have to change before they get any support from me.
As far as I'm concerned regarding the corporations, they should've been allowed to tank; no bailout. Someone would have taken their place. Automakers and banks both. This is where the liberal in me speaks: No corporation should ever, ever be allowed to get so large as to be able to place a stranglehold on the US or world economy the way companies like AIG have. It's a monopoly, limits consumer choice, reduces competition and has awful effects when corporate greed overcomes good sense.

This does not surprise me in the slightest. It's been a matter of "crony capitalism" for a long time....on both sides of the aisle.
