I have asked a few people if they had heard about the protests. Not a whiff in the MSM. It's about time they reported it.

I like Danziger, but his stuff is genrally non-mainstream. He's almost the opposite of the MSM.

No need to hit everything. A tariff on only their cars would hurt them pretty bad.

What does that comic have to do with mad cow? Did it change?

People in the midwestern USA have most certainly heard of the Korean protests.

I'm in the midwest now. I agree -- we need to slap a tariff on Korean imports, beginning with Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, and LG. Watch them run with their tails between their legs.

And cellphones, just to give them the message. I would also use the troops as leverage on the issue.

I saw something on the protests in inthesetimes.com, a left wing publication. Sadly, they made the protesters (I prefer calling them stupid rioters) out to be freedom fighters, meaning clearly, they don't know what they're talking about....

Na not a tariff on everything from Korea. Just the news - CELL PHONES CAUSE BRAIN CANCER. Worst cell phones are Korean Cell Phones (its got to do with Korean electronics/dna. European Model Safer.

Then start with a ban with cell phone from Korea. Then later lift the ban only after EACH cell phone is tested for 5 month on Rats. OR they have to be encased in lead and a copper Faraday cage thus making it 5 times large then a Motorola RAZR.

Then Koreans would start to understand how to use logic.
