Thomas Peterffy, Hungarian born American Entrepreneur is trying to start a political panic.

Mr. Peterffy was a guest on the Blomberg Business news MS NBC this afternoon.
He was talking in an almost hysterical voice warning people that if they aren't careful about the vote in the Presidential campaign that we are rushing into Socialism. He went through a 20 min. spiel listing every possible horrible thing that would result from the plunge into socialism.
I wouldn't have been quite as concerned were it not for the fact that the stock market had one of its worst days of the year.
The Democratic Campaign committee needs to check this guy out, study what he is preaching and take whatever steps necessary to neutralize his frantic warnings.
Here is a thread from 3 days ago with most of the same material.

I do NOT watch cnbs, another crap station as good as faux
Watch bloomberg at least they will try to give you both positions
cnbs is pure rapid right wing jack welch bull shit, who do not care for America or its people
they only want to enrich their pocket books, and screw everyone else
I hope people like him, koch, and edlson, lose a lot of money on the propaganda they have spent, and when President Obama wins re-election they can stick that up where the sun don't shine
These people represent the lowest form of human beings, who do not care for their fellow human beings

we don't elect Romney, the crook , it alarmed me.
I was on MSNBC which is good only for looking at the current stock prices. (Which were in the tank today.)
Back to Peterfyy, he is obviously interested in the Republican style of "Freedom", which in Republican ese means "The freedom from any govt. controls that would slow down their thefts of money operations."
