New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is supporting Senator Scott Brown for his moderation, but the vociferous defender of Wall Street used some of the strongest language of the campaign to describe Democratic Elizabeth Warren -- comparing her philosophy with Soviet communism.
The comments were published in The New York Times’s The Caucus blog on Sunday, based on a Friday interview Bloomberg gave to the paper.

Bloomberg ought to retreat to his billion dollar condominium and shut his crooked mouth. He's obnoxious and sickening, thinking he has all the answers to everyone's beliefs. Communism among the billionaires is more like it, the oligarchs who want to run the country.
What?? Is this an auto-reply? It makes no sense. Also, please note, there is no such thing as a billion dollar condominium.

It was obviously an exaggeration for effect, not a factual statement. It's like saying "I've been to Fenway a million times." I'm sorry to have to explain that to you. Anybody with any sense would have know.
Prof. Warren wants nothing more than to join her former boss in Washington: Hence, for her advantage she calls herself a, "Democrat." Many voters don't seem to mind the fact that this chameleon also found it to her advantage to call herself an "American Indian." No substance.
So too is Brown's service in Afghanistan. No substance.
The mayor of New York City, the nation's financial heartland, is endorsing and stumping for Scott Brown, go figure!
I think when we hear Communism, Socialism, Naziism hurled ay any candidate, we should dismiss the speaker as the buffoon he is. 'Nough said.
Why is Bloomberg weighing in on this race? He must be getting some "donations" from the same Wall Stree Banks that financed Scott Brown's campaign. Scott Brown "Independent" when it is irrelivent and convienent and in lock-step with right wing when the Republican party whip pulls the leash tight.
Bloomberg is drunk with power -- e.g., banning large bottles of soda. He's obnoxious -- something that's pretty common in NYC. He has no business sticking his nose in Massachusetts politics, but it should be obvious he's thinking about what's good for him and New York, not what's best for us.
Given his wealth and how tax changes would hit him I can't say I am surprised but Soviet Communism? That is total hysteria.
