Fast Gunn - not throwing up your whole quote, takes too much space - you make some valid points but.....but I am hard pressed to feel sorry for a billionaire. I tend to feel sorry for myself because the 'establishment' has determined that folks with a lower credit score should get barred or blackballed from getting certain jobs that otherwise I am highly qualified for. Big Brother does spy on us with cameras, records 'private' conversations and 'he' or 'they' have made the judgment that a low credit score makes me or you a criminal or a person of dubious character!

Here’s Kareem. Just one question: Was Sterling’s privacy violated?
And now the poor guy’s girlfriend (undoubtedly ex-girlfriend now) is on tape cajoling him into revealing his racism. Man, what a winding road she led him down to get all of that out. She was like a sexy nanny playing “pin the fried chicken on the Sambo.” She blindfolded him and spun him around until he was just blathering all sorts of incoherent racist sound bites that had the news media peeing themselves with glee.http://hotair.com/archives/2014/04/2...etly-recorded/ Originally Posted by Fast Gunn

Shouldn’t we be equally angered by the fact that his private, intimate conversation was taped and then leaked to the media? Didn’t we just call to task the NSA for intruding into American citizen’s privacy in such an un-American way? Although the impact is similar to Mitt Romney’s comments that were secretly taped, the difference is that Romney was giving a public speech. The making and release of this tape is so sleazy that just listening to it makes me feel like an accomplice to the crime. We didn’t steal the cake but we’re all gorging ourselves on it.
No, I can't say I feel sorry for Donald, but don't we all have some right to privacy in the United States of America?
Donald is a dinosaur with a black soul that belongs in a different era, but we do have a legal system and there are some things that are not admissible in court.
. . . However, it does seem troublesome that in this free country a man can wake up being the owner of an NBA team, but after opening his ignorant yap in a private conversation, he is suddenly banned for life, fine $2.5 million and will probably be forced to sell the team. It seems as surreal as a Franz Kafka novel and I imagine that Donald is expecting to wake up any minute to find this is all just a very lucid nightmare.

Not bad for an 80 year old guy - but then he didn't get to be a multibillionaire by being stupid. I wonder how much the ex-girlfriend's cut will be? Originally Posted by trynagetlaidahem..
