I think (hope) this is opening enough eyes that even if they try to shut up Santelli, more people are going to feel inclined and driven to speak out. Obama is hoping we are all sheep in the pasture, but he’s learning very quickly that it’s going beyond buyer’s remorse. I still feel confident there are enough of us, enough patriots that love America and we’ll only be stepped on and beat up for so long.

I really think we are at the feet of revolution and thankfully, the people who are the most fed up are the ones with all the weaponry.

Mr. Santelli woke the sleeping giant yesterday. I don’t think he even knew his truthful rant would get the attention it did.

I put this video on my FB page. It did not receive the most comments of anything I’ve posted but it did receive the highest number of individual people responding.

Not only does it go to all of your friends, but if anyone comments on it, it goes to all their friends.

USE THIS FORMAT!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Dunno.

He probably is shacked up with Rosie Palms and her 5 daughters.

[sportutegrl]

Sounds like someone’s making an enemies list.

There seems to be a bit of fear around here. As if obama is the new Stalin or something, and nobody had better annoy him if they know what's good for them. When Alinsky's ghost is brought up in a thread, then I know that it will stop right there, in awe and reverence to the great rabble rouser. Alinsky is so last year, and besides, why not use his method to our advantage? That would really freak 'em out, eh?

As Rush was saying today...

everyone is thinking it, waiting for someone to stand up and say it first,

then the floodgates open.

This morning there was a thread on FR about Obie being a “Narccisist/Narcisua” now you are saying Gibbs is a “Pansy”. With those and all of the “Daffyidills” in Congress Washington is becoming a garden of “EVIL”.

[MrB]

They’re going to Joe the Plumber this guy, checking into everything they can to discredit him.

In a way, that will be good, we can use this as another example of how the left tries to destroy dissenters.

“That would really freak ‘em out, eh?”

I would love to see the deer-in-headlights look 0 would get when seeing the uprising of pissed off countrymen.

The Tea Party’s growing!

[Iron Munro]

It's “cool” to burn a flag, but express disagreement with 0-ba-ma and you will be targeted

Santelli will soon be bunking in Stalag 17 at the Sector 3 FEMA Re-education camp with Joe The Plumber and the rest of us reactionaries formerly known as patriotic Americans. .

The arrogance is over the top (if you haven't, watch the entire clip). Especially at the end, he is condescending toward Rick Santelli. I can't recall any other administration that directly goes after critics in the media....With them talking about it, gives more air time to the issue.

Isn't dissent patriotic?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I think we have to take this very seriously...he has a Financier behind him...see some background ...I started the thread:

The Capitalist Threat ( George Soros speaks)

[roses of sharon]

No way....Republicans could never get away with it, never.

[Jeff Chandler]

I hope some otherwise well-meaning (but previously ignorant) journalists out there are getting their eyes opened and call this out for what it is.

Are you kidding? They'll pile on!

[JustaCowgirl]

Get him!!!

[antivenom]

the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school,”

EXCUSSSSSSE me...since WHEN did "sending kids to school become a FRIGHTFUL struggle.

JEEZY whiz...

Democrats the party of WHINERS!!!

You can take the organizer out of the community .....

How are these tenets from Alinsky’s Rules any different from
the mores and mentality of the Taliban, al Queda and radical jihadists ?

1. Failure to conform to social norms ...

2. Deceitfulness ... or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;

3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;

4. Irritability and aggressiveness ... ;

5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others;

6. Consistent irresponsibility ... ;

7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

I never noticed the Satute of Liberty in the background of that scene. Nice touch...
