"The right" pointing out that Warren Buffett's company is fighting the US government over ~$1 billion in back taxes the government says they owe, in a thread titled "Buffett Is My Hero" because he says he wants the rich to pay more taxes, is "sad"? Denny Crane put it best. Buffett wants to be taxed a few more percentage points on his millions, but when billions are involved, well, that's worth fighting. Buffett is the ultimate hypocrite and should be mocked and derided for his political grandstanding. Seems like factual irony to me. If you consider people posting facts about Berkshire to be "sad", and then offering their opinions on these facts, may I suggest that politics may not be something that you should follow? Poor Warren Buffett. How will ever get by, what with people pointing out his hypocrisy and double-speak.
