Documentary "Inside Job"

Probably best to see the film before pontificating. You might be right, you might not be. I've seen it and won't comment as it's not my place to pass judgement but commenting, with assumed authority, about a movie one hasn't even seen, is impressive in and of itself...

Not that impressive. You don't have to see any of Michael Moore's films to know he's going to blame EEEEEVIL capitalists and Republicans for the issue of the day. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Damon's latest film is going to say fracking kills people and the environment, that the oil companies know it and don't care as long as they can keep sucking oil and gas from the ground.

Damon hasn't once ascribed any blame for the financial crisis on Frank, Dodd, Rubin, etc. but has said all kinds of things about bankers. It doesn't take much to extrapolate that past behavior to the monolog of this film.

Assail the message, not the messenger.

The Damon film is trying to deflect blame from Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin and Lloyd Bentsen over to the bankers and insurance industry.

It's not his film. I think I've said that... and the exact opposite is what is shown. That's exactly who is highlighted as the culprits.. FFS.. 18 people said no, yet there's all this speculation about Matt Damon covering for the libs just cause he's a D-bag. See the documentary already.

I've never actually smoked crack, either. But I'm pretty sure it's bad for me based on what I've previously seen and heard. Agree with Aloha's assessment.

I watched about 1/2 of it but it is a very flawed 1 sided supposedly documentary about how we got into this mess and it is by nature very left leaning with the guise of not being. It neglects to mention the dem controlled congress that got this housing mess started by being able to buy more house than you could possibly afford, another thing obama voted for along with drooling lips franks etc. It aint really worth the time to watch cause it is torro poopoo for the most part.

Take a look at this article, might explain some of what's going on: participatory fascism

Here's an excerpt:

Participatory fascism’s second great advantage over socialism is that when serious economic problems do arise, as they have during the past five years, the rulers and their key supporters in the “private” sector can blame residual elements of the market system, and especially the richest people who operate in that system, for the perceived ills. No matter how much the problems arise from government intervention, it is always possible to lay the blame on actors and institutions in the remaining “free enterprises,” especially the biggest bankers and other apparent top dogs.
