That last line was beneath you K.

and that’s why I made certain to write “hard left,” who I do firmly believe oppose capitalists generally and whose antipathy toward the business class they make very apparent. I believe that David Jones is at least very close to falling into that camp – although most elected officials who are in that camp are very careful to watch their rhetoric. You can sometimes act like a socialist, but it still ain’t cool to call yourself one or to be too conspicuous in your public acts.

There has been a few times when the Maloofs have “helped” make basketball decisions that I believe hurt the franchise. #1- Not resigning Jimmy Jackson when he might have been the difference maker the following season. #2- The Ron Artest debacle. #3- The late night flight to Arkansas to chat/re-sign Corliss Williamson (good financial move but Corliss is too good of a man to get played like that.).

 I don’t like the glitz and glimmer Las Vegas style entertainment that they originally brought with them, replacing fun, family friendly acts like dog races, but that is just a personal preference. I don’t like the music act screaming at the beginning of every game, lord knows we all understand that we are in hell and we don’t need a B act telling us so. But…I love watching these guys go crazy on the sidelines. I love walking into a local restaurant and seeing these guys sitting at a regular table. I love that they are near the salary cap threshold every year even if it required a bunch of shitty moves to get there, at least they are trying. I think they are genuine dudes who want to put a great product on the floor.

I’m with you on that one. Cuz Kusian, and I agree with much of what you say, until you mention Dave Jones.

My question is simple: Why mention Jones in the first place? And, I think it’s commendable the Kings haven’t layed anybody off, and that the Maloof’s are thinking about how they spend money. That’s a good thing. (It’s about time the wealthy feel what the rest of us have to go through. I personally don’t think this depression is terrible for the working poor. Working poor do whatever they can to survive regardless of the time. It’s the affluent such as the Maloof’s who have to change their lifestyle. Not a bad thing if you ask me.)

Except for the last sentence. I am a commie pinko retard hard-left liberal and I think Dave Jones has consistently been a major asshole when it comes to the Kings.

So the fact that I and a bunch of other “hard-left retards” actually agree with you on most of this maybe means you shouldn’t lump us all together. If I can offer a modest retort, your anger seems to reflect many of the prominent right wingers in the media and is, in my opinion, largely misplaced.

Look at the pic again. You didn’t describe it correctly. It’s somebody being held at gunpoint and being forced to give their money to the person holding them at gunpoint. It doesn’t describe somebody being shot in the head. If it did, it wouldn’t be my avatar. BTW, avatar is an odd word.

I have seen a ton of comments referring to the Maloofs weath in a negative way on this site. And I just think a lot of it is class envy, which I despise. Hey, I’m not a big fan of the Maloof’s recent basketball decisions and, hell, we don’t even share the same politics. But, I believe that they are good owners that are showing amazing loyalty in tough economic times.

File this tidbit of info under who gives a *&@! file. Do they car pool now too?
