CA Dem to Interviewer: ‘Get the F**k Out of Here or I’ll Throw You Out the Window’

Michelle Malkin: Independent TV documentarian Jan Helfeld asks California Democrat Rep. Pete Stark about the national debt and the economy. Stark tells him repeatedly to “shut up,

[antceecee]

In what way was the interviewer grating?
Stark insulted him personally, his education, the university he attended and NEVER answers the questions put to him! Stark’s arrogance is completely over the top and his continuous non-answers to reasonable questions was quite amazing.

'Prey that “they” continue to P*** off the media...then the media will turn against them...'

Lets hope so.

[Carley]

Stark has long been insane.

[Verbosus]

oops.
Sorry about that pappyone.
I came in 2nd place without seeing your post.

[Choose Ye This Day]

Stark doesn’t have an advanced economic degree, either.

Yes, he has an MBA, from UC Berkely in 1960.

We all know what great economists they are in Berkeley.

More debt = more prosperity. It’s the liberal way.

What propably happened here, was the interviewer didn’t follow the script. Asking unrehearsed questions is considered “grating” to RATS.

I had thought that threatening ones life was illegal? Maybe our laws have changed?

[yoe]

Painting perhaps with too broad a brush, Pete Stark is the perfect picture of how most Americans are seeing Washington today....not very bright elitist and non-caring about Americans - just enriching them selves.

How did this guy not get a cabinet position... (see above)

[CodeToad]

That’s OK, Mr. Stark, we the voters will just throw you out of office!

[penelopesire]

Who is running against this arrogant SOB in 2010? It is time to throw Rep. Stark out of DC!!

[Bitsy]

What is Starks educational background? Does he have a doctrite in economics. What an egotistical, ill tempered, rude, trailer trash POS - we pay his salary - HE’S FIRED!

[luv2ndamend]

“A line that will now live forever, thanks to Congressman Stark: “The more debt we owe, the wealthier we are”.

[MizSterious]

Everything out of Stark’s mouth was arrogant and condescending. Jan asked a perfectly good question, and couldn’t get a logical—let alone truthful—answer. Then Stark wants to throw JAN out the window? Jan had a lot more patience with this twit than I would have had.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Let’s all share the love and let Pete Stark know who REALLY needs to be thrown out of office:

"I did find the interviewer’s manner somewhat grating."

Persistence is necessary in the face of condescending arrogance and trying to avoid answering questions with questions such as "do you have a doctorate in economics", as if all lawmakers naturally are economic experts--essentially saying "who are you to be asking me these questions".

It's seldom possible to be perfect in handling such situations.

I thought the interviewer went above and beyond to be respectful and patient with the arrogant SOB.

[SMARTY]

People ELECTED this guy?

[Bitsy]

and his continuous non-answers to reasonable questions was quite amazing. = democrat talking points. /s

The threat to "defenestrate" is always terroristic in intent, if not in practice (let's say they toss you out a first floor window for example), but if this is "upstairs" I think Pete Starke is going to have to go to jail for a very long time.

Jus' the people taking back Congress one seat at a time.
