That's Friends of Obama.
Obama's good friends at Acorn, now renamed Affordable Housing Centers of America currently explicitly trying to bring down the economy. in SEIU board member Stephen Lerner's words:
The subversive plan to destabilize the nation's financial system was revealed earlier this year by Stephen Lerner, a board member of SEIU who is officially on leave from the union. Lerner is influential in leftist organizing circles and has reportedly visited the Obama White House at least four times.
Lerner said a strategy was needed that addressed the following questions: "How do we bring down the stock market, how do we bring down their bonuses, how do we interfere with their ability … to be rich?" It is important "to politically isolate them, economically isolate them and disrupt them," he said.
Lerner said he decided that JPMorgan Chase would be "a really good company to hate." If leftists really believe capitalism is in a "transformative stage," they "need to confront this in a serious way and develop a real ability to put a boot in the wheel."
Lerner said "we really are trying to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate … there are actually extraordinary things that we could do right now that would start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement."
There is a frequent guest at the WH openly planning the sabotage of America.
Developing a boot in the wheel is undeniably a reference to the fundamental marxist classic tactic of throwing a shoe [sabot] into the wheels of industry. He openly says 'we' need to get really good at sabotaging america.
Disrupting and creating uncertainty for capital is disrupting and creating uncertainty for capital.

We just went through a long negotiation in which the Tea Party made clear it had no problem crashing our country's credit rating to hurt Obama politically.
Sorry if I don't take the WND's projections altogether seriously. Particularly for a quote from March. From a guy who was fired from the SEIC board the previous November.

First, you say: "in SEIU board member Stephen Lerner's words:"
Immediately followed by: "The subversive plan to destabilize the nation's financial system was revealed earlier this year by Stephen Lerner"...
So, either Stephen Lerner is speaking in the third person AND is calling his own plan "subversive" OR (far more likely) your intro is less than accurate/honest.
Why this surprises me in the least...is unknown as yet.

"we really are trying to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate
Doesnt Beck et al do this very thing, hawking gold-gold-gold vs munis and stocks?

As PD said, even if this were in the least bit credible, it's peanuts compared to what REALLY just happened in our government. Slashing spending without raising revenues during an eco downturn, and all while extorting the economic stability of our country, and our debt obligations and standing...Na, let's talk about Acorn. That's where the REAL issue lies.
And the part about him not being a member of the union leadership you skip over? How about the fact that this was from March but you are only posting it as a result of a new conservative media talking point about it?

I have no problem taking a private citizen at his word. You seem to be missing the larger points, however.

The larger picture...larger than, 'Hey after we sleep over at the White House, let's go bring down American commerce, finance and industry'.
The bigger picture and more significant point...yeah explain what that would be and why I should 'look over here', instead of focus on that.
