Post a link to it or be accused of lying once again, "Zepp".

Speaking of lying, when are you going to back up your contention
that Tucker Carlson interviewed me after the Kanga suicide?

He's probably lying. He likes to pose as being techno-savy and this is
just a part of that particular mania.

Link's already posted, Knickers. BTW it doesn't take any
"techno-savy" [sic] to recognize a copy job when I see one.

So why aren't you reposting remarks about this hack of Palin's private
email from the Weasel group, a private newslist where you lurk?

So? There's nothing there that's repeated in the Malkin piece.

But let's look at your lie in a little more detail, shall we?

Here is your accusation from above:


"Her description of /b/ is
virtually word for word from a NY Times piece on hackers that I posted
here less than two months ago."

Here are the descriptions of /b/ from the two articles:

Malkin:

"Here's the short version: there is a site called 4chan.org. It is an
image
posting site based on a popular Japanese site. The site contains
multiple
boards, each of which is dedicated to a particular subject. The most
notorious of these boards is called /b/. /b/ is the board dedicated
to
random images. /b/tards, as its denizens are called, are interested
only in
their own amusement. Their sense of humor runs the gamut from sick to
cruel
to merely strange. Lolcats, as made famous by
http://www.icanhascheezburger.com, originated on /b/. A lot of memes
start
there. There is a lot of racist humor - pictures of excited and happy
black
people in proximity to fried chicken abound. There is a lot of
pornography.
Sometimes it's child pornography, although posting that is moderator
grounds
for banning - no, it's not a pedophile ring; /b/tards post it because
they
think doing so is funny."


NYT:

/b/ is the designated “random” board of 4chan.org, a group of message
boards that draws more than 200 million page views a month. A post
consists of an image and a few lines of text. Almost everyone posts as
“anonymous.” In effect, this makes /b/ a panopticon in reverse —
nobody can see anybody, and everybody can claim to speak from the
center. The anonymous denizens of 4chan’s other boards — devoted to
travel, fitness and several genres of pornography — refer to the /b/-
dwellers as “/b/tards.”


As we all can see, there's been no copying so, once again, you're
simply lying.

But if your dance will be to insist that these are not the portions of
the articles you had in mind, you may post the portions you believe
were "virtually word for word" between the two articles.


Post the plagerized portions right here---->>>

And speaking of your lies, when are you going to own up to the lie you
told
about my "interview" with Tucker Carlson after the Kangas suicide,
hmmm?

Oh, lookee! Now "Zepp" is accusing me of hacking his "newslist".
Honestly,
he's getting to sound more and more like Gary Rosell with each passing
election cycle!

If he replies it'll be in full straw flinging mode.

He's made a fool of himself once again and he'll high tail it just
like all the other times.

Zepp - do you have evidence that Malkin plagiarized the piece from the New
York Slimes?

If so, please present it.

LOL Nice to see you've dropped the pretense that Michelle Malkin
plagiarized your NYT article, "Zepp", but you can't admit it to either
Brian C. or me.

Keep dancing!

If you'd like to talk about Palin using yahoo for official business we
can do that. First, however, you'll need to admit that Malkin didn't,
in fact, copy from your NYT article.

Can you be an adult for once and admit you were wrong?

Did you "seem to remember" that the same way you "remembered" Tucker
Carlson

"influence" your "target audience"?

Hate to tell you this, but "future Trivail Pursuit answer" has been in
the lexicon a lot longer than 2004. I think I first heard it about
1990 or so.

It gets applied to just about anyone who is near the end of their
fifteen minutes of fame -- a description that dates back to the 60s,
and Andy Warhol.

What's a "criminalit?"

Every leftist believes that he alone is the chosen one, that
the world revolves around his needs and wants, that it is the
obligation of everyone else to cater to his needs, to take
care of him, to give him whatever he wants, and ignore all
his transgressions, much as an infant is cradled in the
arms at the bosom of his ever-protective, ever-nurturing mother.

Actually, it's you whose trying to shape-shift out of the corner
you've worked yourself into, Poundcake.

You claimed the Michelle Malkin piece included a section copied "word
for word" from a NYT article you had posted. When we challenged you to
point out the plagiarized section you realized you'd been wrong and,
rather than admit your mistake, you began trying to change the
subject.

What do you think your "target audience" thinks of such behavior,
"Zepp"?

Zepp's moved on to trying to squirm out of another corner he's backed
himself into. He recently said that mortgage-backed securities are not
assets. In attempting to defend that idiotic statement, he's made it
abundantly clear that he doesn't even know what a mortgage-backed security
is.

If they're really assets, then why aren't the banks holding them

LOL! There's quite a few of them, Zepp. Some are, some aren't.

But I'll take this as an implicit admission that you had no idea what you
were talking about when you asked why the banks weren't holding them any
more.

So let's sum what you've been wrong about so far:

1. You didn't know that mortgage backed securities were assets.
2. You thought that people who own mortgage backed securities were the ones
paying the debt, instead of receiving the payments.
3. You thought that banks weren't holding the mortgages any more.

Anything else that you don't know about regarding this subject? If your mom
won't help you, I probably can.

Oh, and we're still waiting for evidence that Michelle Malking plagiarized
that New York Slimes article.

I see that the wingers have abandoned the e-mail 'hack' issue,
probably because they know that she's more of a liability than
as the previously thought-of 'asset' to their fascist agit-prop-dom..

Hell, they won't even let the press near her now..

It's not easy being a Republican when everything you stand for is an

I see he's already trying to change it around, from holding fund based
on mortgage notes to actually having a mortgage.

Pretty sad. But then, it's kinda hard to argue that something is an
asset when it just nearly wiped out the largest economy in the history
of the world.

Even for a dumb, nutball right winger, that's a tough one.

And of course, he's frantically trying to pretend that I'm not talking
about the instruments forged from the bad mortgage debts.

In the meantime, maybe he can spellbind us with talkes of how all
those mortgage assets saved Lehman Brothers and AIG.

Haven't you heard? That's why Lehman Brothers and AIG went tits up.
They had too many ASSETS!

It's high finance, like secretly incorporating or paying income taxes
at cap gain rates. You wouldn't understand.

Duh! What do you think "holding a mortgage" means, you idiot?

It means YOU ARE THE MORTGAGEE. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO RECEIVES THE PAYMENTS.

That is an ASSET, Clouseau.

If you guys don't know what you're talking about, do yourselves a favor and

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Yes, Clouseau, a steady stream of cash flows, or an accounts receivable, is
an ASSET.

You and Zepp are WAY TOO STUPID to be having this debate.

And they sell them so they can raise capital to originate additional loans
(i.e., assets).

>How fucking stupid do you have to be to think that lending someone
>$200,000, so that they can buy something, constitutes an asset?

Duh! Because it's a receivable, Clouseau. Receivables are ASSETS.

>The
>interest is an asset; the portion of the principle that has been paid
>back is an asset. The outstanding balance is a liability.

No you idiot. Money that someone owes you IS NOT A LIABILITY.

And the interest is NOT an asset. It is INCOME. It appears on the balance
sheet once it becomes "retained earnings" after the company's financial
period ends.

>You don't
>need security on an asset, you fucktard; the home is the asset, not
>the fucking loan.

The home is collateral, dipstick. If the mortgagor defaults on the loan,
then the bank gives up on one asset (the loan) and exchanges it for another
asset (the house) via foreclosure.

I wonder if Democrats are happy that their evangelists on Usenet are so
absolutely STUPID when it comes to this subject?

LOL!

Is it so hard for you to understand that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
bought mortgages from banks. They then repackaged the loans and used
them as collateral for bonds called mortgage-backed securities; they
guaranteed buyers of those securities against default. That gave the
illusion they had more capital than they actually had. It was a scam
that dwarfs Enron. There's no investigation into it because Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac were run by Democrats in high places such as Franklin
Raines and Jim Johnson, Obama's economic advisors.

A mortgage is a promise to pay, Dummy, and it's secured by the
property itself... if the borrower doesn't pay, the mortgage holder
owns the property.

Obviously, you have no clue how this works...

Actually, he doesn't... not with a lien.

what they posses is a contract that says someone will pay them

You never heard of selling an asset? people do it all the time? You

assets...

The contract that is the mortgage is an asset to the holder, just as
it is a liability to the borrower..

The security is part of the loan. The entire loan is an asset.. and
is listed under "assets" on a person's or company's balance sheet.

You really think that a contract that says someone must pay you money

That's not the problem at all dummy, it's pretty much a cash flow
problem. That's the case whenever a person or company is asset-heavy.

The secured property is part of the loan, you moron.

In normal circumstances, loans are considered assets, certainly for
accountancy purposes. But a loan ought to satisfy the following
criteria.....

You ought to know who owes it and what the terms are.
You ought to have made it to someone whose circumstances enable them
to be more than likely to pay it back.
In the case of a large loan, it ought to be accompanied by some
collatoral on the part of the borrower.
Ideally, the ability of the borrower to repay ought to be covered by a
reputable insurance policy.

Of course, your banks long departed from these criteria.....which is
why they are in a mess....

Why anyone in their right minds would continue to value loans that
depart so far from sensible precautions as assets is a complete
mystery.

Yet oddly, the Blue States provide most of the money for the US economy
and get back far, far less in Federal handouts than the Red States do.
That is to say that Blue States pay more in taxes than Red States and
get back less. Red States pay less in taxes and get back much, much more
because they are largely indigent.

Sorry to sink your little boat so brutally but someone has to point out
that you're living in some kind of dream palace.

So the best thing that a home owner who has had to default can do is
to hold tight, and say to the agency that tries to reposess "give me
proof that you have a right to this debt." Is that it? Is there some
statute of limitations if the paperwork is lost or can't be found?

Is anyone talking about WHY Palin used Yahoo for government business?
Was it because she feared that open records disclosures would make
government emails available to the voters in her state, and that having
accounts on Yahoo would bypass that requirement??

Nope, and don't expect them say anything more about it unless it's
to lessen the 'pucker factor' regarding the bailout of the mortgage
"industry" and/or McLame's next political gaffe..

It would appear to be the case, never mind that the GOP hordes
have descended upon Alaska to squelch the Palin-TrooperGate
hearings. This reminds me of the vote recount fiasco in Florida
back when Putsche stole the 2000 election..

I have fequently asked: Why is it that liberals know so little about
economics, business, and finance?

It has never been demonstrated more clearly, or humorously, as it has on
this thread.

Explains why they don't know what an asset is. LOL!

And the payments are the asset.

But if you don't recieve the payment, is it still an asset?

The less "fascist" you are. Here's an educated conservative describing the
current mess:

"The political left always aims to expand the permeation of economic life by
politics. Today, the efficient means to that end is government control of
capital. So, is not McCain's party now conducting the most leftist
administration in American history?"
