I tell you what, you guys are funny. How about you read the entire article? The more emoticons doesn't make your nonsense factual.

Cheers!!
Lol, the government that regulates them, simply sues them. No that isn't intimidation.

Chavez would be proud.

Cheers!

Explain to me how this woman's quote somehow makes everything else in the article null and void?

More silliness. If it is biased, it should be easy to debunk. I refute Daily Kos regularly, and easily. And I never need to mention their bias. Have at it.

IBD is a conservative newspaper.

Do you trust anything you read from Huff Po or Media Matters? I don't.

And I apply that to the right.

I only trust neutral sites with no opinion. IBD is not that.

If it's so biased, why would they include a quote that according to some people in this thread invalidates the rest of the article?

Of course you have no answer for the OFFICIAL DOJ statement not a bunch of fearmongering in a conservative rag.

Cheers!! (I got two exclamation points.)

Because they have to to maintain any crediblity. Thanks for admitting the only factual statement in the article (at the very end) invalidates the rest of the mongering.

I'm pretty sure I just explained it to you, DOJ is trying to intimidate the banks. Why do they want them to relax the standards, in light of the situation we are in today? It makes zero sense.

Again you simply can't refute the fact that DOJ wants banks to lower lending standards, it is simply foolish. But what do you expect out of Mr. 9.2%?

Cheers!

So in order to remain credible, they add a quote that destroys their credibility by disproving the entire article. Brilliant.

Ah, the very thing that brought on the housing crisis. What's the definition of insanity again?
Why doesn't Obama just use his left over stimulus money to buy houses then let minorities take them over with a lease/option to buy.

Yeah, yeah... I know, it's not Obama's money but he doesn't know that.
