"The Lies of Alan Greenspan"
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?pid=233482

Alan Greenspan has come back from the tomb of history to correct the record. He did not make any mistakes in his eighteen-year tenure as Federal Reserve chairman. He did not endorse the regressive Bush tax cuts of 2001 that pumped up the federal deficits and aggravated inequalities. He did not cause the housing bubble that is now in collapse. He did not ignore the stock market bubble that subsequently melted away and cost investors $6 trillion. He did not say the Iraq War is "largely about oil."

Check the record. These are all lies.

As I said before, Greenspan is laughing all the way to the bank he used to run.

You don't look like you've wasted away too badly during these eighteen years. But to hear you describe things it's been one great depression after another during his tenure... all I can say to you is, I'm glad I don't live under such a dark gray cloud all the time.

Sanity?

I am sure you said the same thing when Clinton lied about a blowjob, right? I mean if you got your panties in a bunch over a silly lie over a private matter but then ignored Greenspans lies in support of Bush's suicidal policies, that would be horribly hypocritical...

"panties in a bunch"?

You can do better than that. Can't you? I remember a kid named Timmy who used to say that in Jr High.

Exactly what I thought, no ability to respond to the facts. Perhaps they should rename the Republican party the Diversion party?

The Grossly Obtuse Party.
