CNBC’s Rick Santelli appeared on at least two radio programs today to promote his “rant” against President Obama’s housing program. On G. Gordon Liddy’s radio program, Santelli called attention to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’s response to his tirade. He cropped a quote from Gibbs to suggest the White House was pursuing a campaign of intimidation against him:
SANTELLI: He started that press conference saying, “I don’t know where he lives, I don’t know where his house is.” This is the Press Secretary of the White House. Is that the kind of thing we want? Is that —
LIDDY: It’s a veiled threat.
SANTELLI: It really is. [...] I don’t really want to be a spokesman, but I really am very proud of a) the response I’m getting, which is overwhelmingly positive, and b) discourse, that is debate. That if the pressure and the heat I’m taking from the White House – the fact my kids are nervous to go to school – I can take that, okay.
Listen here:
Santelli also appeared on Mike Gallagher’s radio show, again stating “it was very scary” to have the White House Press Secretary say, “we don’t know where he lives or where his house is.”
The White House, however, has made no threats against Santelli. Here’s Gibbs’s full quote (which Santelli conveniently failed to use):
GIBBS: I’ve watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school
Gibbs wasn’t threatening Santelli; he was pointing out the sheer absurdity of a well-to-do pundit criticizing Obama’s housing plan as seeking to simply “subsidize the losers’ mortgages.”
As the Wonk Room has reported, The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan aims to help up to “7 to 9 million families restructure or refinance their mortgages to avoid foreclosure,” thus halting the ever-increasing number of foreclosed upon properties dragging down home values for entire neighborhoods. Santelli is not working to promote constructive debate about the merits of the President’s plan. Instead, Santelli — who made his rant before even reading the plan — has called for a “new Boston tea party” protest and appears more interested in spreading falsehoods with Liddy, a Nixon-era political operative who actually conspired to kill a political opponent.
Today’s Progress Report notes that media outlets are still shamelessly promoting various byproducts of Santelli’s outburst, with CNBC and Drudge leading the way.
Now Obama is threatening wealthy pundits? Wow, the right side is really of their rockers. It’s gonna get real ugly out there.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 pmSantelli must be some reichwingnut moron. I do not believe he is being threatened.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:38 pmRick Santelli=sociopathic bs artist
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:38 pmLiddy= sociopath…period
WOW even for a rightwing pundit that is amazingly dishonest. Way to raise the depravity bar. He reminds me of HS Thompsons description of Agnew. A flat out knee crawling thug with the morals of a weasel on speed.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pmBetter not tell GLiddy where you live… he will organize the break-in.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pmLIDDY: It’s a veiled threat.
Like your threat to kill anyone who happened upon that psychiatrists’ office break-in, back in the ’70’s?
Liddy needs an enema.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:40 pmThis is the new ReichWing talking points, they are talking civil war.
Glenn “the Liar” Beck has been pushing on his show that the insanely stupid Righties build bunkers, stock up on ammo and food for the upcoming 2014 civil war and tax revolt.
And they all got the memo from their hive mothers.
FCUK THE REPUBLICANS
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:41 pmIsn’t he just the cat’s meow. So big; so powerful; so brave — to put his kids through a bunch of stress so that his worthless a$$ can gain some press coverage.
I hope his kids figure the game out before they undergo any permanent trauma. I suspect they’d disown him as their father.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:42 pmLiddy was actually going to KILL Washington Post reporter, Jack Anderson, because he misunderstood something Nixon said and thought Nixon wanted him KILLED. I am serious.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:46 pmMake that moroon with 2 O’s This guy is making the play for big time limelight
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:48 pmIf Santelli were any more of a whiny republican wussie, he could be a troll here.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:49 pmWhat does the media (and Santelli in particularly) have against small homeowners?
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:49 pmAnd yet he wasn’t afraid of the wiretapping torturers who ruled with an iron fist for the past 8 years?
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:50 pmYOu can be he was all for selling small homeowners “creative” mortages back before they blew up in everyone’s faces.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:51 pmLiddy knows all about threats.
Obama’s strategy is very interesting. Give the far-right/wingnut crowd the spotlight, in order to alienate the middle away from them and toward him. Given how this crowd has taken the bait, I think it’s going to be a great strategy.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pmJust so I got this straight, its now a threat to say you DON’T know where somebody lives? Well damm I guess we had it backwards all along. I thought when someone say they DO know where you live is when you are supposed to get nervous. But of course GOP hacks are always scared of their own shadow.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 pmAh another advocate of CVS. Conservative Victim Syndrome. The liberal media is out to get him!
It’s funny how the rightwingers have accused liberals, Democrats and the left of being a pack of effeminate, cowardly, Frenchified weaklings who are unwilling and unable to fight, yet they are now in high dudgeon over the imagined impending threat of violence by the same leftists and liberals.

February 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 pmLike anybody gives a crap about Rick Santelli? Nobody cares about him enough to hurt him.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 pmClaiming “veiled threats” is cowardly and dishonest.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 pmWe should expect nothing more from the likes of Santelli and other Wall Street vulchers. His rant the other day may have brought him plenty of face time on the cable news channels, but long term, it was stupid, juvenile, and wrong.
Republicans are wrong – wrong-headed – wrong in policy, wrong in politics — but loud mouths like Santelli who play the bully are typically unable to take criticism without crying foul.
Now he falsely claims his children are victims of the White House — Gimme a break.
Like most bullies – they are actually cowards.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 pmSantelli Claims The White House Is Threatening Him: ‘My Kids Are Nervous To Go To School’
– - Santelli was on Liddy & Gallagher’s shows? Now that we know his ideology he’ll soon be departing CNBC for Fox’s Business Network.

February 23rd, 2009 at 4:55 pmThese people get wackier every day.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:55 pmIs this what the Republican Party is turning into? Men wearing tin-foil hats because the mean lefty President is shooting socialism-beams at them?
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:56 pmSantelli is enjoying these days his best week of fame.
Seems like he is in high demand by Rightwing talk shows,and when the so called THREAT story added to the mix,Santelli will be even in more higher demand.
Does Joe The Plumber’s story ring a bell? !!
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pmGSD is wise. That thought did not occur to me until you just wrote your post @ 20. How can we be so puny, yet so mighty at the same time? Ask a right winger, don’t ask me.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pmNow now, just because Rick Santelli plays a right-wing financial expert on TV, doesn’t mean he has ever heard of Phil Gramm’s (R-TX) Financial Services Modernization Act which created this entire global meltdown.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pmWhen I first heard this prick on the radio, I thought he sounded like a 17 year old punk who’s voice was still changing.
He is just another greedy right winger who the right are touting as a lefty because he is on CNBC.

February 23rd, 2009 at 4:59 pmMeanwhile, the Chicago Tribune is trying to gin up support for Santelli promising/threatening to use all the media options at its disposal:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:00 pmSantelli is just typical of what one sees on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade: another loud mouthed, self absorbed, white, alpha male blowhard Republican type whose only philosphy is “screw you, I got mine”.
Dragging his kids into his pathetic victimhood is the height of irresponsibility and is disgusting.

A: Paranoiac?
Q: Nope. “Observant.”
The children, think about the children!
I don’t care how good the Santelli children have it in the trust piggy, any parent using their children as props is unfit to be a parent.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:04 pmI’m glad I switched from the Tribune to the Sun-Times.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:05 pmSantelli is being pathetically infantile, and by picking certain phrases & leaving out the rest, a totally divisive liar. He is no role model for any children, particularly his own.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:05 pmWell, I don’t know where Santelli lives either, but it sure ain’t this planet or this dimension.
Santelli is one self-important, paranoid, delusional twit.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:06 pmHis kids are afraid to go to school because all of their classmates now know what an ahole their father is.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:06 pmThe Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.

One look at that guys face, I imagine his kids are nervous about a lot of things.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:12 pmRepublicans, as shown by Santelli & many others lately, are repugnant, dishonest whiners who are doing everything possible to destroy America even more extensively than Bush did. Their phony tactics reveal their total dislike of any possibility of improvement for the U.S. They apparently want everything to fail. We can only wonder why thye media gives these liars so much time.

This is not thrilling or titillating, and so in order to keep their paychecks coming in the talking heads will spin, distort and fabricate to keep their drooling, slobbering fans glued to the tube.
His kids are afraid to go to school because all of their classmates now know what an ahole their father is.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:06 pm
If kids knew he was my father, i wouldn’t wanna go to school, either. such embarrassment!
Though I doubt his kids would be in public school.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:14 pmSantelli thinks the world in 1940’s or something, nobody thretting nobody, find another way to blame obama and his cabinet. Nobody is stupid anymore.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:15 pmWhat a sissy! Has anyone noticed that the biggest bullies run home crying when someone stands up to them? What’s the other saying? Oh yes, here it is. When one plays with fire he gets burned. Santelli was having so much fun dancing up and down and screaming, pretending he was on top of the moon, that he then got scared and started sniggling when a calm, cool person by the name of Gibbs restored order. Tsk! Tsk!

Say, where did alenka go? She was so much more eloquent at posting the spam.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:16 pmObama just explained again that the portion of the stimulus that is causing the opposition to cry bloody murder amounts to a tiny fraction fo the total bill.
He is playing it smart in demonstrating bipartisanship to the public while carefully pointing out the facts about his plan.
As for Santelli, what does he have to say today about AIG asking for an additional $60 Billion – AFTER they were given $150 Billion s few short months ago?
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:17 pmIs Santelli actually Santorum in a dog disguise?
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:18 pm“Reporting live, from the top of Mount Molehill, this has been Rick Santelli – back to you Joe.”
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:18 pmtom! You shouldn’t have told the whole world that Santelli lives on the top of Mount Molehill!
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:20 pmSantelli and his ilk should stick to their money grubbing and leave the policy work to be done by competent moral people such as our President Obama. Fear not Ricky, there will still be money to grub.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:21 pm…just trying to help him get the job over at Fox he’s trying so hard to get.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:23 pmWhere does the media find these whacked out drama queens?
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:23 pmSuch nonsense! Who in hell is this guy anyway?!
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:24 pmLiddy and Gallagher? Could he possibly have found anyone more extreme whose show is on one than more transmitter?
It’s a rightwing nutjob club. And, Santelli exhibits sufficient paranoia to join the club.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:25 pmOdd. Just last Friday I heard Santelli say he was thrilled the Gibber had “engaged him in dialogue.” Makes ya wonder how many hefty henchmen Gibbs sent out to Santelli’s to rough him up over the weekend. (Gibbs was so clever that in his presser he pretended he didn’t know where Santelli lived — when all along his wiseguys must have been on the way to Santelli’s. Very diabolical, that Gibbs.)

February 23rd, 2009 at 5:27 pmThe republicans know they have killed the goose that laid their golden egg. Running for cover. Having killed their markets they will need to watch as America heads down a knotch behind the new power China.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 pmRepublican capital systems are taking a back seat to the Chinese form of capitalism. Something the the republicans have to detest.
I question whether the dems can repair the damage of they robberbarons of the 21st century.
We need to learn how to live with some socialism in our western type system instead of fighting to keep it out.
How about a little social medicine?
If their insanity wasn’t so dangerous, these right wingnuts would really be funny. What a fantasy world this Santelli lives in. No one threatened him but his insane mind fabricated this fantasy. I live next door to a crazy liar who is always fabricating some kind of story where he is threaten by someone or something. My neighbor went as far as putting cameras in several of the trees that surround his house just in case someone was out to get him. Santelli sound likes the same kind of crazy.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:29 pmPut the odd name guy Santelli on a no fly list with no recourse. He might have a dirty bomb.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:30 pmwhy is it that these reichers from Wingnuttia always look pale, as if they’ve been spending too much time wearing their white sheets recently?
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:32 pmSantelli mus think W and gang are still in charge…with the imagined threats and all. Rick Santelli jailed by politically motivated prosecutors.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:33 pmDamn! – If only those poor people hadn’t tricked all the bankers, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Those poor people are just too crafty and sneaky and clever.
The good, god-fearing, suit-wearing nice guys in the mortgage banking industry never saw it coming.
SEE! – john mccain warned us about ACORN – now look what’s happened. hopefully you’ll understand why he’s keeping his plan for catching obl and fixing the economy secret.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:34 pmQuick, put Santelli in a “Free Speech” Zone (cage).
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:35 pmSo we had Joe the Dumber and now we have Santelli the Silly.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:36 pmTap his phones…Santelli must be a security threat and his name is not Smith or Jones.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:36 pmSantelli got slapped down. We ask him to look at how well off he is and he changes the subject. WWF.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:39 pmif his kids are anything like him they probably don’t want to go to school because they get beat up on a daily basis for being mouthy know it all’s who know NOTHING!
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:39 pmYeah, no drama Obama must be driving the media crazy. What can they possibly say that will get a crazy reaction from him? The boy Bush would get all crazy and insulting and animated when someone pushed his buttons and Bush’s buttons didn’t take much presser to push.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:42 pmWhat a grand-standing little turd grasping for his Joe The Plumber-esque 15 minutes of infamy.
It was obvious what Gibbs was referring to about Santelli’s home (implying that maybe Santelli lives in a wealthy area that is not getting hit as hard as more average or poor areas of the country).
I wonder if we can get a moral bailout for Santelli, because he’s obviously morally bankrupt. He rants about a housing plan he had not even seen, then misleads about the comments from the Press Secretary to imply he made a personal threat.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:49 pmIt’s almost like Santelli NEEDS some threatening, like he craves it and the attention.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:53 pmIf that’s the case, I know some unemployed, homeless VietNam vets who’d like to have a word with him. Maybe more.
Veiled threat: “I know where you live I know where your house is.
Not a Veiled threat “ I don’t know where you live or where your house is but…”
What a crybaby what a coward.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:53 pmIf Rick Santelli is really so worried about his safety, maybe he should go into hiding and stop appearing so much on the TV and radio.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:55 pmPerhaps the threat Santelli perceives is a bringing to account all the money grubbing traders that have flourished under the last 30 years of deregulation.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:57 pmIsn’t paranoia a symptom of cocaine abuse? Maybe Santelli needs to call Larry Kudlow’s sponsor.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:57 pmAre Santelli and his kids living in his car?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 pmFor the most part, These are the same guys who couldn’t wait to ship young soldiers off to fight in an unjust war, get KBR and Halliburton up and running…turn a blind eye to the rampant corruption and the millions of dollars of tax payer money that went missing, but you mess with their precious markets on wall street……and look out!……
Santelli went crying to Liddy and Gallagher….Oh Please!
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:01 pmWhat, no health care, Mr. Santelli?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:02 pmOh Heaven forbid that Mr. Santelli should pay his fair share of taxes.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:03 pmIs it just now dawning on the likes of Santelli that the war always comes home?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:05 pmBut…but…but…I thought it was the LIBERALS who always whine about what victims they are! According to Coulter, anyway — didn’t she “write” an entire book about that?
We’ve seen this song and dance before. Truth and reality are never permitted to get in the way of a good soundbite. And “the Obama administration is threatening to kill me” will certainly rile up the choir.
Wonder how long the wingnuts can get mileage out of this one? Can they keep it alive as long as the “China is drilling off Cuba’s coast” whopper?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:06 pmwhat’s the difference between Joe the plumber and Joe Santelli the margin trader?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:08 pmANYONE … ANYONE …
Is Santelli’s job about to be outsourced?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:11 pmWhat’s the matter, Santelli, Food Stamps not enough to feed your family?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:13 pmAre Santelli’s bosses ignoring his exposure to depleted uranium?
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:13 pmI just sent a complaint to CNBC via the “feedback” link at the bottom of their web page. Go to http://www.cnbc.com. I asked for a response, hoping they would distance themselves from such dishonest use of Gibb’s statement and suggesting that the White House was “threatening” him. CNBC should be held accountable as well as Santelli.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:14 pmSo let me get this straight. Obama, the President of the United states, is going to take time out of his busy schedule to harass a CNBC commentator??? Who’s slaming a plan he hasn’t even read yet. Why? He’s not even worth it.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:17 pmGive us a break! Maybe his children are scared because other students parents agree with Obama. Maybe Santelli is regreting his remark? Lord knows many people I know think he is a rich capitalistic pig. But what do we matter? We are just serfs to the corporate elite.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:17 pmEven if Santelli’s imagined threat were real, he would still be more secure than 90 percent of the population.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:18 pmHey Santelli, just hide behind your shit pile of money.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:21 pmHis kids should be put in fostercare, until the results of his psychiatric tests are known. Anyone who would use his kids in this manner either doesn’t care what the repercussions of his speech are, or secretly wants something to happen, to justify his victimhood. He’s like someone suffering from Munchhousen’s Syndrome.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:34 pmSantelli’s kids are going to be ridiculed, and their friends’ parents are going to keep their kids from contact with this nut.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:37 pmThat’s right Santelli, I’d hate for the next threat to come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:40 pmSomething seemed a bit creepy about Mr. Santelli’s asymmetrical smirk, so as an experiment, I made mirror images of each side of his face from the picture above. Sure enough, he has two different faces.
One looks bright, eager, and intelligent; the other looks more like a mobster thug smiling just before he takes you out.
See for yourself:
Santelli #1
Santelli #2
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:52 pmThat Santelli would participate in the G. Gordon Liddy radio show proves everything that his detractors have said about him.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:54 pmSantelli needs psychiatric treatment! Actually, a lot of RepubliCons need psychiatric treatment.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:07 pmThis is one of the reasons – besides for her vote against banning the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas – that I believed Hillary Clinton could not be President. I was young when Clinton became President, and completely bewildered when I first started seeing The Crazy. But after eight long years, I understood that The Crazy was out there, and that it always would be. During the eight years of the Bush presidency, I knew that The Crazy was supporting him, and demonizing anyone who didn’t, and I knew they were lying in wait for the next Democratic President.
If that president had been a Clinton, then the American people would have probably thought “oh, it’s the Clinton wars again, God I’m so tired of those Clintons”.
Instead, now that we have Obama as the Democratic President, there is a much bigger chance that the people will see The Crazy for what it is. And that they will reject it so furiously, that the Republican party will be shit-canned.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 pmGibbs has cleverly help Santelli get his name out on front street. Now everybody can see that these jokers on Wall St. are a bunch of shysters.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 pmThe good thing about Rick Santelli is that he has replaced Joe the Not a Plumber as the hero of the reichwingnuts.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:18 pmWOW! It’s amazing how quickly those well-to-do, gated estate living, conservative Repuglicans claim victimhood. Poor, poor baby.
“A conservative is a man who has plenty of money and don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t always have plenty of money” – Will Rogers
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:18 pmNow that Santelli brings his family squarly into his public affairs, with his phoney claims, you have to wonder why he would stoop to such a selfish action. Does he not care about his family’s privacy? Why drag his family into his petty comedy show?
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:22 pmGuys like Santelli blew up the whole world’s economy while preaching, and I do mean preaching, greed as the cardinal social value. Of course he feels threatened, he knows what he’s done with his life.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:36 pmRepublicans hate facts – ease back, some of that got on me.
Nowhere did I say I thought she was the best person for the job. I said it was one reason I believed she could not be President.
And every point I made stands.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:51 pmIt certainly doesn’t take much to frighten the Republicans of today. So much for “home of the brave” Sheesh. Try to calm down Santelli, daddy Obama won’t hurt you and he’s trying to make those mean ol poor people go away.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:59 pmSantelli. What a wuss…

February 23rd, 2009 at 9:45 pmThanks, Santelli. You’re ridiculous comments are just further proof that you are a lunatic.
No one is threatening you. For one thing, you aren’t that important.
For another, threatening people over their viewpoint is what the last White House did. This one does not do that. They just call you out and let people decide for themselves whether or not you are an idiot.
You are an idiot.
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:49 pmWhere was Mr Santelli’s concern & outrage when the French were being targeted a couple of years ago?
Children of French Embassy employees in DC area were teased and shunned by ‘patriotic’ American classmates then. A friend, temp teaching at a private school in the area had to spend part of a class period dealing with the prejudice and then had private comfort/counseling sessions with some of the children.
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:49 pmHe voted for McSame, he went on the Gordon Liddy show, he replaced Joe the Plumber as RNC hero….he is a bonafide wing nut. Change of subject.
February 23rd, 2009 at 10:04 pmAhhh, poor, poor, Santelli … You mean his driver taking his kids to their private school has to raise the bullet-proof glass on the limo?
What a LOAD OF STEAMING CRAP. Gibbs was clearly talking about what type of house he must have because he is a spoiled rich wall street trader!
February 23rd, 2009 at 10:15 pmI absolutely thought the big pink pig (Gibbs) was threatening Santelli.
By the way- the woman who stole her house back with Acorn’s help took out a 260,000 dollar home equity line. Acorn hasn’t talked about that or where the money went. Why don’t all you idiots pay for her home and leave the rest of us alone?
February 23rd, 2009 at 10:38 pmIf this moron is telling the truth, and his kids are nervous to go to school, he needs psychological counseling because only HE put those thoughts in their heads.
What a sick f uck.
February 23rd, 2009 at 10:45 pmDid you see the other pussies in the trading room when Santelli was having his cricle-jerk. WHat a pathetic bunch of little pussies, all shouting like they were cheerleaders. Hoo Rah. You go Santelii, you let em have yeah team.
F ucking disgusting pile of freaks.

My Goodness you really are a bone ignorant moron arent you? The only reason in the WORLD to think that is a threat is because you have some need to or you were TOLD to think that. On Planet Earth it makes no sense at all. As for ACORN go get your cookie from Rush you have successfully regurgitated this weeks talking point. It was STUPID, meaningless and off topic but hey, a moron like you has got to take what he can get. You have lots and lots of stupid. Perhaps you can try to aquire a cerebral cortex
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:02 pmWhat a complete an utter fraud.
Yes commenting on Santelli’s privileged background = threatening his children!
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:25 pmI’ve finally come to the conclusion that the only good republican is a dead republican.

A reply from the past-yes, I know how to spell shining. It was a deliberate choice for several reasons.
Sorry if it annoys you. Lights shine with many facets and patterns.
February 24th, 2009 at 12:31 amget over it santelli. your ranting all made sense when you admitted who you voted for on the chris matthews show. you are discredited and are just acting like a sore loser as are the rest of the repubs. tell your kids ‘don’t be scared, the dems only kill fetuses, not kids’..a**hole!
February 24th, 2009 at 4:13 amSantelli is just another rich thug. Odds are good he’s a crackpot Zionist who thinks it’s okay to give billions to loser, Jewish owned and run banks but not to loser home owners. Okay to give money to Jewish owned and run investment banks, but don’t help the auto industry which employs millions of honest Americans.
I say we nail the Zionists to a cross.
February 24th, 2009 at 5:15 amSantelli is nothing more than a typical hysterical Repubilcan bully. They can’t seem to grasp the notion that they are no longer in control in Washington so they will do or say whatever it takes to grab the headlines. When you can make outright lies and expect people to accept them as truth, something is very wrong with you. It might be time to step out of the media glare and get some professional help. Blatantly trying to stop our president from any sucess should be seen as treason, and a reason for any and all politicians to be removed from office. They were all voted into office for the good of the country, not for individual or party goals.
February 24th, 2009 at 7:50 amIn Gibbs’sarcastic remark about where Sentelli lived, he was refering back to McCain and his many houses!
February 24th, 2009 at 8:30 amHey, when your spokespeople include criminal thugs like G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North, you ought to know your philosophy is morally bankrupt.
How do these folks who actively, aggressively subverted the American system of government, become popular mouthpieces for a major political constituency, instead of spending their lives in jail, as they deserve to?
February 24th, 2009 at 9:23 amOn Hardball . .
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Who did you vote for in the last election?
SANTELLI: Mr. McCain
[CRICKETS]
February 24th, 2009 at 11:11 amWhat a nut bag……I’ve heard Santelli try to politicize the financial news before….but this is paranoia…imagine Obama threatening his kids…black helocopters are coming soon.
February 24th, 2009 at 1:21 pm45ACP: My dad has become a good Republican. He doesn’t vote, hasn’t for years. We get along great now.
February 24th, 2009 at 2:32 pmThen why doesn’t he get off the public dole by pulling his kids out of the taxpayer-subsidized public school system and put them in the privatized school system more suited to his superior economic status and intellect? Could it be because he’s a loser?

Maybe he isn’t lying. Maybe he’s a psychologist, and his rah-rah economic fantasies are just the psychology the economy needs. Wasn’t there a Republican Senator who said the equivalent: that the economic downturn doesn’t actually exist; that it is all in the heads of non-Republicans?
February 24th, 2009 at 4:26 pmSusan in WA: I moved from WA to TX (the a$%hole of the known universe, in my opinion) a few years ago. Plan to move back to WA within a year.
I’m glad your dad has stopped voting and become one of the good guys.
Living in TX among inbred, racist, bible-banging GOPer morons has been an eye- opening experience for me. Interaction with them demonstrates to me that they will never be confused by facts. Lost cause, I’m afraid.
So, when the locals start telling me I don’t understand ‘southern culture’ I just tell them I don’t respond to oxymora of any kind.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:02 pmSantelli is a total idiot. What he is getting threatened by is his inside trading may come to halt. Only he can think that a person getting $20,000 a year in dividends is poor.
