The Connecticut Working Families Party this weekend has organized a bus store that will make stops at Wilton, Connecticut, AIG office as well as the security-patrolled homes of AIG execs who are fearing for their lives.
“We’re going to be peaceful and lawful in everything we do,” said Jon Green, the director of Connecticut Working Families. “I know there’s a lot of anger and a lot of rage about what’s happened. We’re not looking to foment that unnecessarily, but what we want to do is give folks in Bridgeport and Hartford and other parts of Connecticut who are struggling and losing their homes and their jobs and their health insurance an opportunity to see what kinds of lifestyle billions of dollars in credit-default swaps can buy.”
Right, they’re not fomenting rage, they’re just encouraging it. So if you happen to record someone’s address so you can return in the dead of night, it’s not like Working Families told you to!
Seriously, the incendiary language against people who have done nothing at all wrong, has to stop or someone will get killed. I get that people are made at AIG but their anger is completely misplaced.
AIG could have gone into bankruptcy and not a single damned dime of taxpayer money would have been spent. The bonus contracts would have been torn up and this would be just another story of just another company, albeit a big one, that reached too far and killed itself.
But that’s not how it happened. Bureaucrats in Washington decided that they knew better than the combined economic wisdom of millions of Americans and changed the natural course of the market which has, I hasten to remind you, led to the most prosperous society in the history of mankind. If Connecticut Working Families wants to raise a mob, they can do it on Election Day to throw the Democrats who overwhelmingly approved the Stimulus Bill out of office.
What this group is doing is foolish and dangerous and it needs to be stopped, by the authorities if necessary. The mob leaders behind this may not be yelling “fire” in a crowded theater but they’re sure as hell whispering it, flicking a Bic, and waving it as a gasoline-soaked rag. If I were an AIG employee, I’d be buying a couple guns and plenty of ammunition right now.
Oh and speaking of the people behind this rabble-rousing, it probably won’t surprise you that Connecticut Working Families is little more than a front group for the President’s favorite “community organizers” ACORN.
I imagine that a telephone call from the President to some ACORN leaders would stop the Mob Bus in a heartbeat. Will he have the courage to pick up the phone? Let’s hope so, otherwise the next story we could be reading about an AIG executive is their obituary.

This president has no courage Jimmie. He’s too busy running out to California to tape a Leno show. He cannot lead because he doesn’t know how.
