I guess she didn’t hear what SHE said.  That’s her characterization of what comprises the Tea Party, and Santelli is calling her on it.  Then, she acts clueless as to what she said.  Unreal. 

The folks at NBC try to limit Rick Santelli’s political commentary.  Honestly, he belongs at Fox, not at a company so weighed down by political correctness and spin.   Face it, everything Rick predicted about the economic impact of Obama’s policies has turned out to be true.  But in the NBC empire, that is not something that gets you a positive performance review.

No, Ms. Martel, he didn’t compare Ms. Whitney to King George. He was riffing off a Tea Party analogy in response to her point that there are “angry white men out there.”

His comeback was, yeah, King George faced a bunch of angry white men too. Ms Whitney isn’t King George in this analogy; the federal government/Washington is King George.

Tea Party, King George, revolution…it’s a play off 1776.

She is so brainwashed with their daily echo chamber propaganda, she didn’t realize her statement was bigoted and naive. Simply freakin’ amazing. 

she is COMPLETELY right.  Santelli is an attention deprived jackass.  

HOW WAS THE DESCRIPTION WRONG AGAIN?

…and you should get back on your meds.

Rick Santelli is da man!!!!

Rick Santelli is kooler than the otherside of the pillow.

“How many muni areas have actually defaulted,by the way?’”

Spank her like a bad puppy!!!!

What the PHUCK are you talking about?  CNBC lets Rick rant and rave ALL the time – just check out the CNBC.com video archives.  And your comment itself makes no sense: if NBC was limiting his commentary, then how would “everything Rick predicted” be even known to us?  You and I know it because CNBC allowed it to be aired. 

(Rasmussen)
— More voters still think the average Tea Party member has a better
handle on America’s problems than the average member of Congress does,
but there’s a sharp difference of opinion between Democrats and
Republicans.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey
finds that 42% of all Likely U.S. Voters believe the average member of
the Tea Party has a better understanding of the problems America faces
today, while 34% think the average member of Congress is more clued in.
Twenty-four percent (24%) are undecided.

What an ignorant Bimbo. I bet she is married to a freaked out “White Man” who is currently banging his younger, much more attractive secretary who doesn’t run her mouth like a Cword constantly. 

Santelli  was kind to her….she should be greatful!

What about the Black Male?  That group has the highest unemployment which is triple what the white male has?  I didnt see her saying anything about that?…Was that little girl scared and felt she could say what she did because her echo chamber say it daily about being  jealous of FOXNews, White males, Christians and Conservative Woman…
That makes them pat each other on the back and tell each other they’re not racists just everyone who does not agree with them are!

Santelli perfectly represents the heartless, rapacious, get all you can and screw the consequences “capitalism” that would have our founding fathers spinning in their graves.

America was founded by men of the enlightenment on principles anathema to what parasites like him practice, many of the provisions of our founding documents were tailored precisely to protect us all from oligarchy wantabees like Santelli.

The right will continue their reichward march until the American people wake up to the dark, selfish, despicable agenda they’re pushing that is the exact opposite of our founding principles, the last hundred years of societal evolution, and common decency.

We’ve become an international embarrassment in a generation because of scum like him, and I’ll never forgive him and his ilk for it.     

It’s well known that Rick got in trouble with network execs after his famous rant that launched the tea party.  The same thing happened to Jim Cramer, who is actually a lifelong Democrat, but made the big mistake of criticizing Obama while working for a company that carries water for the current administration.  Santelli’s popularity makes it unlikely that they will fire him, but the NBC brass hates it when he serves up political commentary.  

Give us credible proof for the following statements:

“It’s well known that Rick got in trouble with network execs after his
famous rant that launched the tea party.”

and

“The same thing happened to Jim
Cramer….”

and

“but the NBC brass hates it when he serves up political commentary.”

What a desperate liar.

Oh right, the Founding Fathers were all about centralized control of its citizens and taxing them as much as they possibly can and when they can’t take anymore, tax them some more…  

There you go, the founder the Tea Party.  Any wonder they’d purposefully tank the nation’s economy?

If you don’t know that both Cramer and Santelli were smacked down by Immelt for criticizing Obama, you don’t pay close enough attention.  Some things you shouldn’t have to source, because they are common knowledge.

Lowwwwweeeerrrcase letters are you friend.

Or Obama is.  Cloward and Piven anyone?

She is Wall Street glitterati, a Blodget in drag. Ignore these pump-and-dump chumps.

So in other words, YA GOT NOTHIN’

The message came down from the top of the company.  Both Zucker and Immelt sent out the message that Cramer and Santelli needed to tone down their criticisms of Obama. 

It was written up in the NY Post.  Here check out the details:

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/jeffrey_immelt/

A unnamed source at the network told this morning’s New York Post…

Enough said. 

Since it was so “well known”, you’d think there would be a credible source and someone willing to come out with their name.  Fool.

As we all know there were plenty of “angry” white women at the tea party rallies as well. The reason she didn’t say “angry white people” is because it would have been too obvious what she was trying to do. “Angry white male” is an accepted liberal meme designed to diminish whatever argument liberals dislike at any given moment. Kind of weird ad hominem coming from other whites.

This guy has obviously never read Charles Beard. Today’s lefties ain’t what they used to be.

good go—–wwwjordanforworldcom

You said there was no source, and I gave you one from a major newspaper. I’m waiting for the apology.

You said there was no source, and I gave you one from a major newspaper. I’m waiting for the apology.

Ok so every time there’s a Bachmann thread where the right loons accuse liberals of “women hate” I shall point this out because if you don’t agree with the Tea Party you’re a cunt…..

She was not accustomed to anyone at CNBC questioning Progressive propaganda.

Gallup is reporting that more than half of Tea Party supporters are NOT Republican, but they tend to be much more conservative than the general population. Also, compared with average Americans, supporters are slightly more male and less likely to be lower-income. 
HER definition of freaked out white men who are unemployed and have been unemployed for three years doesn’t seem to match with reality.

You’re new to Mediaite aren’t you? The “Angry White Male” smear gets used hundreds of times a week by the leftists here.

After Rick’s first rant, he definitely backed off his conservative line. After that got so much publicity, NBC seems to have backed off on pulling him back.

So, Obama is Cloward & Piven…huh?  Look, Michelle, you don’t point to Obama and yell, “Cloward & Piven.”   That’s not how the laws of causality work.

No, they were obviously all about multibillion dollar corporations getting multimillion taxpayer refunds instead of helping pay for roads and schools, they certainly sweated in Philadelphia for the unequivocal right of the wealthy to hide income in the Caymans instead of imposing communism on them via taxes, and we all know how they agonized in the Federalist Papers over how to facilitate profiting from cheap foreign labor while not contributing to the common good.

I’m struck how easily our corporate owners have set us all against each other, and found willing allies in their quest to consolidate their already unbelievable power amongst the hoi polloi, where up is down and trickle down works and we weren’t at our most prosperous when taxes were the highest and regulations the strongest and average hard working loyal Americans didn’t send a generation of children to college and for sure basically everything that’s happened to secure our society since the Great Depression was a terribly bad thing.

Is this how America ends?          

Hey, Santelli, does this make you hard, or what?

“Despite earning over $32.5 billion over the last 3 years, Verizon not
only paid nothing in corporate income taxes, it actually received nearly
$1 billion (the same amount as the concessions they are seeking) in tax benefits from the federal government during that time.”

And the best part, Rick? They’re asking their workers to giveback a billion dollars, approximately $ 20,000 per Verizon family. Are these guys friggin great or what?!
 

santelli needs to take an american history course

and he should really stop playing the victim here….

how can tea party supporters NOT be republican, when all the tea party members
in congress ARE?

i agree, to an extent

let’s face it, the ones pulling the strings *are* angry white males

women are largely left out of the leadership of the ‘tea party’

like any conservative, christian organization, it’s mostly white guys in charge

and they tend to have a temper (unlike women)

Have you seen the Newsweek cover? 

The Tea Party has proven themselves to be a force with which to be reckoned.  They have done their jobs well by dragging Democrats kicking and screaming to the big boy’s table of fiscal sanity.  

one woman?  

nice try, dude

obviously, men are primarily in charge.  there’s simply no doubt about that….

i didn’t realize taxes were soooooooooooo high???

do you think we should cut taxes even more?

thank you for saying this

this is how america ends

under eisenhower, one of our most prosperous times, there was i think a 90%
tax rate on the upper 1%

under reagan, the estate tax was 60%!

To be honest, her point is absolutely fair, though I’m not sure they are all Tea Party types. The truth is that there is a large segment of this country that has been unemployed long-term and have no ways to escape it.

Thank God for Santelli.

ok, how about this?

My son is a shop steward at Verizon.  But you know those greedy union guys that victimize big corporations.  Next thing you know they’ll lose their jobs and live off the rest of us collecting unemployment.  Thanks god we have the GOTP to protect these corporations by bowing at the feet of their lord and master Super Grover … YES MASTER!  NEVER RAISE TAXES MASTER!  ALWAYS SUBSIDIZE CORPORATIONS MASTER!

The half that aren’t Republican think the Republican Party is far too soft and liberal.

I second that.  And what is staggering to me is that anyone making over $250,000 a year will be taxed $30 for every $1,000 more they earn.  That is what they are protecting.  Sick, really!

Bet the ladies just love you!

Still waiting for a date on that poll.  You keep posting it but never date it.

Silly juvenile ranting raving angry Santelli. Tea-partiers must be filled with pride at the classy behavior of one of their founding fathers beating up on a woman. Widely known that Whitney had adjusted her muni’s forecast. But he’s too busy trying to be relevant again

Fact: Unions ask for annual 6% plus raise per year and want everyone else to pay the health cost. Not to mention the approx two months sick leave and vacation time paid and they have the gall to have a protest in the middle of the Obama downgrade. They should be fired and replaced by the unemployed worker for half the cost and that person will be happy at their new job! Tell your son to suck an egg!

Fact: Obama and progressives cult are pulling it off
one bite at a time. Those anuses just pulled of a downgrade that’s included in
the process but haven’t got the rioters in the streets yet as per their plan!

Fact: Nothing said here is as juvenile as Obama’s downgrade of the US for the first time in history!

Fact: maybe this one?   http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/generic_congressional_ballot

Fact: Rantings of a dematard! Blah Blah Blah…..

Freaked out, angry, unemployed white man, it’s “grateful”.

When is  Santelli gonna go after Bachmann for the farm subsidies and,fed grants  she has taken.The face of the tea party is a lying hypocrite.That said how is she different then any other politician.Just calling the kettle of tea for what it really is.

You cannot count the Murdoch owned rag which is run by a man whose stated goal is to destroy this president.  The Post is nothing more than one piece of the Murdoch echo machine which includes Fox,  W.S.J. and hundreds of stations and papers spewing his right-wing rhetoric to the willingly uninformed.
Note: this is in response to felix.

Congratulations, you made a post that wasn’t removed…..yet.

Why didn’t you just, “well, my mom told me,?”  Rasmussen….what a joke!

Political correctness and spin,…….”Fox”! Talk about propaganda.

This is downright bizarre.  Let me get this straight:  This Whitney woman believes that a bunch of unemployed (and white …) guys, who want and depend on the entitlement of unemployment compensation, and are about to lose it, are THE driving force behind a political movement which seeks to REDUCE taxes and ENTITLEMENTS?  

Huh?  I want to continue entitlements.  So I’m going to fight against the party who wants me to continue to get the entitlements, in favor of a political movement fighting for the polar opposite????

I have no idea what planet this woman is from, or where her mind is.  But Santelli’s response was spot on.  I’m just shocked beyond measure that the show host didn’t call her on the pure absurdity and lack of logic of her comment.

The meeting that was reported in the N.Y.P, on page 6 ? The meeting that Gaspereno,and Santelli weren’t invited too @ 30 Rock. The one where Kudlow only showed up at the end because he was on-air? hummm ??? Checkout unemployment day it’s Rick against 3-5 liberals. The more of them, the less of him. That bunch is not so cocky these days, Rick been 100% on point.  How about the Matt (cheatin’ husband) Laur set-up interview??? Not to mention MSNBC’s B.S.. The thing they like is the millions of hits Rick received on-line, and the revenue he brings in. Did I mention that without Rick they would look alot more like MSNBC with quotes! Santelli has been on CNBC well over a decade,he brings the most and gets the least. No show, no airtime without watchdogs,no commercials, and no damm respect! They should have meetings where they talk about foreigners giving AMERICANS european style market advice. Why don’t they employ a few AMERICANS? With people like those at NBC, Rick is better off they don’t embrace him! It’s as plain as the nose on your face.

I wish we had more news people like Santelli, who are willing to stand up for us and this great country!  Check out the ABC Tea Party poll, then see if you hear about it on any MSM channel.I think I’ll send it to Rick! How is Whitney right?

Check out the ABC Tea Party poll, you’ll love it! People are starting to get it. Hurry before they take it down, and hide it. You will soon see them go after the Tea Party types more and more. Meridith should stay away from those upper east side cocktail parties. You’ll see more of these attacks in the near future, the Dems. know they have to downgrade the Tea Party, they will use Ezra journo-liars Klein race baiting, or Koch B.S. like Playboy boobs did.. The grassroots run very, very, deep. They will have to eviscerate the whole country, those little wonkies. :}

Americans are awake, ABC just posted a new poll about the Tea Party. See it while it lasts

 Were you born under a rock? What gave birth to you, a sea horse? Go back the PBS telethons, donate, and maybe Burt and Ernie will invite you to their wedding. Like most liberals, men or women, you tend to live in a fantasy world.

Your sons union bosses sold him out. They know the generation of taxpayer thieft, is over. They need to blame it on someone, as they have been exposed for their greed. How can you get blood from a rock? It’s over. They are just sucking you dry for the political advantage the Democrats gain by your votes that keep the cocktail going, elbow rubbers invited to the White House. You union employees will never have your union day in the sun. So ruin your states, and pee in your capital buildings, as much as you want. 

Her point was racist! If you want job creation, vote Obama out. He hasn’t a clue how to create jobs!

What do you think women need someone to take care of them? You’re the juvenile, and Rick is the man, deal with it. Sorry, don’t cry, I hope I didn’t hurt your little feelings dogspm. 

The left will continue with redistribution of wealth, until we are like the rioting government employees in the piigs  countries. We will have no hope, but the change will eviscerate every entitlement program. Even the programs that are designed as a safety net for our sickest and poorest citizens that can not take care of themselves. Funny you idiots don’t even realize, the wealth is not spreading to you, it being spread around the world from you. So when you wake up, I hope you are happy with the devastation you contributed to. Where did the A.I.G. bailout money go? Answer,overseas and to banks,(that paid losses to overseas clients). War money, (overseas), immigration, out of our pockets to non citizens.You are last in line, you will be promised anything until they get your vote (hispanics), but you will see nothing. Did I see Obama walking that picket line in Wisconsin? Need I go on? The truth rings clear, do you homework!

Santelli is a Great American, and Tea Party history is running the course. Did you not catch the 2010 election? Stick around for 2012, American history in the making Darlaloon, live it!

Guess you didn’t see Santelli go after the bank bailouts. Enlighten yourself.

Mr.santelli has it exactly right..You cannot run your credit up to the point it cannot be paid..But our inglorious “leaders” continue the lie..Rick knows it,I know it(I have no debt)..The ONLY way out is the gold standard..Painful,but then the spenders cannot obligate us to ever deeper debt..The standard will prevent them from printing money..We put ourselves here by wanting “easy” aint nuthin easy..wake up!! The con men in d.c. want you to continue to sleep..We will all regret it if this does not stop soon..It WILL stop at some point but then all H… will break loose..Think not,well,I know where there is a bridge…..
