Shout out to Charles McDumbass: That’s not sane. YOU are not sane. Get professional help before you hurt someone, you violent freak.

in all of the years the left was out in the political cold, did we see any of this completely unhinged behavior?

Well, there were Democrats on TV disagreeing with the President ... and there were jokes when he choked on a pretzel ... and my next-door neighbor’s husband, he said “Bush deserves to be executed.” So that’s exactly the same thing, right?

(Also, a person who’s 51 is not “old.”)

I’m more interested in knowing why this man of the people, this spiritual heir of the Boston Tea Party, works for a company that throws people out of their homes. Apparently being a patriot doesn’t necessarily make you a good neighbor.

There’s also kinda a question of why anyone would want pictures of a house where the homeowner is late on the mortgage. What is the bank going to do, claim that someone didn’t maintain the property and lowered the foreclosure value?

I’m betting on something even skeevier coming out on this one.

Hershele Ostropoler,  that’s what I told my noble spouse after she referred to Keith Olbermann as “That old man” and pointed out that he’s a few days older than me(although I have less grey in my hair than he does, due to my Chinese ancestry).

Inadequate documentation, especially if the mortgage was held by Wachovia, which as Atrios put it, was eated by Wells Fargo last year or another company they acquired over the last few years.

If they want to foreclose on the home, and they don’t have the original loan documents, they will have to prove that the home exists, first off.

A lot of people have been able to stall foreclosures b/c the NINJA loans were made by companies that immediately flipped the loans to a larger bank.  The larger bank that now wants to foreclose often doesn’t have all the paperwork, so even if you have been making payments to them, if they want to take your home, they have to go to court.  Courts need evidence.

Same deal on a smaller scale with credit cards.  If you default on a credit card, they will sell it to bottom feeder collection agencies.  The collection agencies try to collect for a while, then sell it on to another agency. 

If they cannot provide your signature on a contract, and they cannot document EVERY charge (not just some random figure that they bought off a list with interest fees they added) then they don’t have a case.  Most people don’t know that, so they try to pay or settle with the bottom feeder, who then, often as not, sells that “debt” to someone else.

Wells Fargo wants to foreclose.  Whackadoodle was hired to verify the house address and the property exists.  He’s now given the mortgagor a cause that might let him keep his house.

“Wells Fargo wants to foreclose.  Whackadoodle was hired to verify the house address and the property exists.  He’s now given the mortgagor a cause that might let him keep his house.”

I think the purpose of the gun was to get people to call him Mr. Whackadoodle.  Fear is as good as respect to some people…

Well, this was a lot worse than what I thought at first.

I read the article earlier this evening, but didn’t quite realize that Mr. Whackadoodle was the bank guy. I somehow got the impression that it was the (much easier to understand) situation where a homeowner has someone on his property, finds out the bank wants to take his house, panic and shouting lead him to grab a gun. From his house.

No: the bank guy had the gun.

He might as well have been walking into central park at night in the 70s strapped. He knew this would happen, and he WANTED IT TO.

Fucking scary. REALLY fucking scary.

ga: Also, he’s carrying a frakking .357.  People who are carrying 9mms might not be crazy.  But there’s no reason to carry a .357.  Unless your day job is hunting semi trucks or something.

Miss Pam I believe that the GOP wants this type of behavior. When have you heard them condemning it?

Perhaps he’s trying to instigate a ‘death panel’ for people behind on their mortgage repayments? What’s good for the goose etc kind of deal.

The problem is that the people are simply not giving the corporations enough respect.  Now, poor Wells Fargo has to avoid a law suit, but Mr. Whackadoodle was just trying to fix the country.  Lutes was not giving all his money to Wells Fargo, and that’s just disrespectful.  The gun was just the most efficient way to try to shock and awe Lutes into the proper feelings of fear and induce appropriate grovelling.

When are the corporate entities in this country going to get the respect they deserve?

And on 9/12, weren’t we all carrying guns for safety?  9/12, BABY.  McCaffee’s a member, and Glenn Beck wouldn’t steer people wrong.

NBarnes:

There is some debate within the gun community as to whether or not the 9mm has adequate power.  That’s why some police forces and federal agencies use 10mm or 40 and 45 calibre rounds: the 9mm is considered inadequate as a “man stopper”. 

If the purpose of a weapon is self defence and if the objective is `one hit, one stop effectiveness’, (and in gunfights one never knows whether one will hit the target twice) then a round that delivers a higher amount of kinetic energy onto and into the target (read human) and thus is deemed better.  Hence the magnum round: the 357 magnum round is basically just a 38 with that extra kinetic power.

I should clarify that I don’t give a flying squirrel either way.  I’m just relaying some debates that I’ve read / listened to as a means of answering your question.

(Says to self: I will not hit “enter” when I don’t mean to.)

Damned if I know who’s right.  Magis shoots, perhaps he knows.

You leftwing ass clowns kill me,  “TEABAGGER” what are we in elementary school.  Why not call him a boogerhead, or my dad can beat up your dad.  This kind of locker room humor shows exactly why America doesn’t take you seriously!! Keep up the good work, you you poopoo head.

Being an authoritarian ass who promotes police violence is why America doesn’t take you seriously, cookie.

They call themselves teabaggers. We couldn’t make this up.

What asdf said is true, cookie.  They named themselves “Teabaggers”.  I personally would have named them “Clueless Racist Assholes” but no one asked me.

Paul, #4: 

I work for a company that handles foreclosures.  I have been asked to take pictures of a house.  My instructions were: “Knock on the door and tell them you have to take some pictures.  ASK THEM if you can go into the back yard and take pictures.  If they say no, don’t insist.  Take the pictures from across the street.” 

I don’t remember for sure why they wanted pictures, but I think it may have been to see if there had been additions to the house that were not recorded.

cookie:

You don’t remember Anderson Cooper giggling about it on CNN, do you? Seriously, it was the idiots that came up with the name, just like the neocons called themselves that before anyone else had ever even heard of them.

Cookie is a doodoohead. Also, my mom can beat up his dad.

Yes, but several people I knew with experience in this including some police officers have mentioned that one problem with a .357 was that kinetic power along with the bullet design was such that there was a serious danger of overpenetration which while effective in stopping the target, can also endanger others as that bullet still retains enough energy to kill/injure others and damage property, especially in densely populated urban areas.  This was one reason why they were not standard issue with the NYPD…
