Santelli Launches ChicagoTeaParty.com
This is more video of Rick Santelli and Steve Liesman from yesterday. Things get heated and Liesman tells Santelli to shut up as they shout over each other. The debate is simple: bailout thy asshat neighbor or not?
How accidents can chage the course of history. I'm sure we will hear the details in the fullness of time, but $20 bucks says Rick Santelli had no intention whatsoever of disclosing his private idea for a Chicago Tea Party on the air yesterday. I've watched the video several times and it is certain that his emotion got the better of him and he let forth his siren call in frustration. It's very unlikely that Rick or anyone else can yet grasp the magnitude what has now been unleashed. Sadly for him, I believe his life has been forever altered. If this unfolds as I suspect it will, a taxpayer revolution was born yesterday and he is the self-appointed leader.
Once his guard was lowered and his heart was in control, he shared an idea so fundamental and so in-tune with America's thinking that within 12 hours an official website had been launched at chicagoteaparty.com and a revolution born. On CNBC's website this morning, there is a very popular poll. The question is straightforward: would you join Rick Santelli's Chicago Tea Party?

“Liesman” - How apropos...
Santelli is going to have the red-shirts of the Acorn Army
sent after him!
Liesman is an idiot!
Liesman: English major and Journalism school grad. No wonder the guy’s got no critical thinking ability.
CNBC removed the Poll !!!
It hit approx “94% YES” so CNBC removed it.
The Santelli video’s still up, but the Poll showing 94% of folks “Would participate in the Tea Party” has been removed by the LEFTIST MEDIA.
It was just too revealing to show folks that 94% of people polled are FED UP.
When I last saw the Poll, about 250,000 people had voted!
ASK CNBC: WHY THE HELL DID YOU REMOVE THE POLL ??
I’ve been listening to Leisman, the FED sycophant, for months explain how the government is solving the economic crisis. He’s so enthralled with his understanding of the inner workings of the FED and Treasury that he can’t see the forest for the trees. Santelli lifts the veil of absurdity for all to see. Hang in there, Rick!
Liesman has always been a liberal idiot. How he became employed on a so called business network is beyond my understanding. Everytime he says something, it is stupid and vapid.
bttt
That Rick Santelli is one smart dude. I’d like to see him on Hannity or some cable news show for an extended interview.
If there is a God, this is a sign from him: Liesman. Lies man. He lies, man.
Finally, someone with some guts.
That doesn't mean that Rick Santelli is wrong. Rick was simply eloquent in his explanation that none of us want to bail out folks who over extended themselves, were greedy, were lazy, and ignored good advice. The stimulus package stinks and this mortgage plan is even worse.
Maybe what we need to fix the broken parts of the system AND then allow the system to self-correct. Unfortunately, Obama (the emperor with no clothes) and the Democrats (s'no pelosi and the seventy dwarves) control the government nearly completely at this moment and have no such intention.
We're screwed until the situation in congress changes.
I notice Santelli refers to the “president-elect.” So is this video from yesterday or pre- 1/20/09?
Now that is interesting....I hadn't caught that....Hmmm!
Yeah, first thing I noticed as well.
“President-elect...”
For a guy on the trading floor he’s pretty far behind the curve, eh?
Ok lets write to CNBC and call them out on this.
