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,

[opus86]

Stark needs a good a$$-whoopin’.

Had the interviewer received an answer that even approached a sane answer, I’m sure he would have moved on. Stark couldn’t defend his position without seeming as wildly daft as the Mad Hatter, so he was left to denigrate Jan’s education background (what is Stark’s, by the way?) and threaten him with violence.

Pete Stark is not only (in all likelihood) the most left-wing member of Congress, but also its biggest a—hole. And when the subject is Congress, that is something of an achievement. He has a long-standing reputation as a hothead and as a bully who enjoys throwing his weight around.

As I stated on another thread, this “interview” was very poorly handled by the interviewer. Mr. Stark repeatedly makes factual statements about our present monetary system and how “debt” is really a measure of the money supply, hence in his mind the “wealth” of the Nation. More debt = more money = more wealth.

The questioner failed to allow Mr. Stark to continue to make such statements (he just badgers him like a child) and then take him to task on the mechanisms of inflation and deflation, and especially how the present system is not tied to any fixed measure that allows a reasonable growth in the Nation’s “wealth” based upon its productive output.

In addition, he fails to make the point that such a system is un-Constitutional, and that it gives politicians essentially an endless supply of “free” money with which to fund their entitlement programs that keep them in power. The system robs “wealth” from the Nation, instead of acting as a measure of the true wealth of the Nation.

LOL, I’ll bet you can find tons of info/quotes from Stark complaining about the deficit and debt when Reagan was in office.

Pete Stark is an embarrassment and is a complete asshole.

But If I was being interviewed by that Jan idiot, I would have told him to shut the F up and listen also.

Jan is an economic dunder head. Stark gave him plenty of opportunities before he pulled the plug on him and was justified to end the interview.

"Democrats think they are above approach, now that they are in power."

Democrats have BECOME the "Monster" they warned against in the days when protesting against government was a good and patriotic thing.

[paul51]

This ranks up there with one of the most unbelievable videos I have ever seen. With people like this in congress, is there any question why we are so screwed up in this country. Just incredible. His constituents can be very proud.

[EyeGuy]

Even from 2000 miles away here in St. Louis, I’ve long recognized Stark as a particularly odious piece of arrogant filth, even when compared to the abysmally low standards of his fellow Congressional scummates.

[andy58-in-nh]

Stark earned an engineering degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.B.A. from UC Berkeley.

[DeaconRed]

TYPICAL RAT. . . . .

Another example of why many are now recognizing how corrupt, punitive and evil government has become

[Texas Fossil]

Wow, sounds like the mafia talking.

[Bernard Marx]

Stark has held his Congressional seat since 1973 -- 36 freaking years! I used to live in his district and heard him speak back in the late 70s. He was just as arrogant, grating, elitist and patronizing then. Yet his East Bay district, between Oakland and San Jose, is so far to the Left he'll probably never be unseated except by someone more radically socialist than himself.

But one can hope. I think his condescending performance in this video might shock even his die-hard supporters. Maybe if voters can use the internet to actually see in action the elitists who "represent" them, real political change may be possible. Of course that's the reason Zero and other politicians are so desperate to control internet and media content.

[paul51]

Jan is an economic dunder head

Yeah, what a dummy. Can't understand why we get richer if the debt grows/s

[cliniclinical]

Wasn’t that guy in Airplane?

[Cheetahcat]

Wow that POS Rat sounds real tough LOL The reporter should of just laughed and kept pushing he had the Moron.

[madinmadtown]

Stark raving mad and stupid! If Stark really believes that debt makes a country richer, then it explains way too much about the powers that be in Washington. Of course, he can’t explain it, it makes no sense, only it seems to be a part of curriculum 101 for Congressmen. Congressional truths may be different from reality.

[RichInOC]

Pete is pushing eighty. I’d purely love to see him try.

[Michael.SF.]

Can't understand why we get richer if the debt grows/s

You have that exactly 180 degrees off.
