#5  From one of the commenters, in response to a green leftist angry about the situation:

"Your comment reflects a profound ignorance of leftist politics and its machinations. A willful, profound ignorance.


The world is not ending. The environment is not in danger. The solution to the non-existent, unsupported "problem" of man-made global warming...er, climate change (considering the Earth hasn't warmed in 10 years) is not greater governmental control over the means of production and the expansion of leftwing activist groups. The solution to these manufactured problems is not more socialism, taxes, regulations and liberal Democrats in power. This same garbage gets regurgitated from the greenies every decade and is merely a fad. In the 1970's it was global cooling and we were all going to die. In the 1980s the oceans were going to rise and kill us all. In the 1990s it was global warming. In the 2000s it's "climate change," as if climate has not changed throughout the Earth's history.


All bull.


The fact that these "environmental" liberal Democrat activists are losing money on a ponzy scheme set up by one of their own is just deserts for a bunch of people pretending their only concern is "the Earth" and "science." Their concern is for political power and money siphoned to them from taxpayers or from sugar daddies like Madoff and George Soros. And nothing is funnier than a group of socialists who decry capitalism and money caterwauling when they lose money. Hey - if money's so unimportant, then try living without it - that's true leftist dogma in action. Or better yet, try producing something and making your own money.


Cheers."

Perfect.

#4  Geez, they are not mad at the guy for being a crook, they are mad at him for not funding their 'progressive' causes any more. Let's all share a nice Two Minute Hate to sooth the hurt feelings.

As for it all being Bush's fault, well, they said if he was elected financial criminals would run rampant on Wall Street.

#2  Mr. Madoff has apparently been exceedingly generous to a broad variety of charities over the years. But now his pledges will go unfulfilled. While no doubt at least some of past recipients have done good and valuable work, surely the needs of those who so imprudently bet their life's savings on the cleverness of Mr. Madoff should take priority.
