Now, a tingle up our legs: Rick Santelli’s Trader’s Revolt

(Already published in news section, but admin pulled it and wanted it here. Oh well.)

[Video included]

Chris Matthews gets tingles up leg listening to Barack Obama. This morning, we at IHateTheMedia.com got tingles up our legs too, but not for the reasons Mathews gets as a result of his mancrush. Ours came when we watched CNBC’s Rick Santelli begin what is being called a “Traders’ Revolt” on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange with fellow traders cheering him on.

We absolutely love it, so we’ll justify playing it here for you to point out the kind of “mad as hell” reporting that we’d like to see more of.

Since 70% of Wall Street money went to Obama in the last election as far as I am concerned they can put up or shut up and pay their damn taxes. Maybe we should even put more taxes on them.

I can’t get streaming media at work so I finally got to hear him when Rush opened his show. I wanted to jump out of my chair and say FINALLY!

Precisely. We can thank these supposed titans of capitalism for helping to make possible the biggest move towards socialism in our nation's history.

I think you guys may be confusing these commodity traders with the Wall Street traders in New York. Most of these guys are likely some of the purest capitalists left anywhere in America.

Move over Commander Scully, America has a new budding hero in Rick Santelli. Finally someone breaks through and speaks the truth on national TV instead of the constant newspeak lies from the pretender in chief.
