Rick Santelli calls for Tea party on Floor of Chicago Board of Trade

[wogdoggy]

theres an old saying and its very true..dont believe it but look at the past..WITHOUT wall street there is no main street..in other words when wall street prospers so does main street.when wall street suffers a downturn so does the ENTIRE economy..so any asshole that cheers against wall street cheers against prosperity for all.,,why do nit wits flock to the democratic party?

[The5thAveMonster]

I really like coming back and viewing this rant. This shows what and egotistical bunch of idiocy that they can tell each other as long as they stay in their own crowd. Watch the documentary " Inside Job " . How much of all that went on in Wallstreet did this man know.

[BeastoFrancisco]

Wow.... I hate to say it, but he's kinda right.

[coolmamac]

Santelli is not addressing the Wall Street side of the problem. 

[particle409]

Call me crazy, but didn't the economic crash have more to do with specific Wall Street institutions bundling bad mortgages, and then calling them good? I.e., what would be fraud in any other industry.

[DrXmas]

No one thinks Wall Street owes us.

Wall Street thinks WE owe THEM.

They crashed the economy with greed and actual, outright criminal fraud, and got bailed out by OUR tax money. And this whiny little jerk claims to be persecuted? How does giving them TRILLIONS amount to persecution?! What, is Obama planning to trick them into injuring themselves diving into a swimming pool filled with money from subsidies and all the times he LOWERED taxes?!

[cdw100]

The left, that is obama and his shills in the press have never recovered from this episode of real tv. Rick Santelli is hated by those folks, and they dont know how to get back at him, because they cannot. They tried and failed.

[wogdoggy]

TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS 2012 lets get rid of obama and his socialist change

[MzRuday]

@wogdoggy Amen Bro!! 

[lemonrind]

On what planet do stock traders represent a "statistical cross-section of America"? Is this a joke?

[ATLKush]

Santelli is anything but a greaseball, he speaks for all of us PRODUCTIVE people in that we don't want to pay for the luxuries for the unproductive!

[KrazyK923]

@ATLKush

"Unproductive" meaning "Jobs stolen by business and shipped to China" ?

[cwesleyclark]

Sorry haters, but wall street is keeping the lights on and this man is DEAD RIGHT.

[lemonrind]

@cwesleyclark Scientists and engineers keep the lights on. Wall street and MBA types don't know how anything works. They just skim off the top and hope that no one notices that they're not actually contributing anything of value to society.

[maurice2002]

My father killed himself, due to a foreclosure (even tho' us three kids gave all we could to help it out); he was a widower who worked everyday of his life..... This greaseball santelli, will get whats coming to him.

[chezhoy]

Gotta love Santelli

[loud4trth]

You dont pay for nobodies shit you wallstreet SOB.

[loonmaniac]

Fuck Wall Street and fuck Santelli, and fuck all the dumbass teabaggers up their faggot asses.

[scottbark]

@loonmaniac you suck 7 cocks a week

[loonmaniac]

@scottbark Go die of ass cancer you sonofabitch.

[TheStulzRage]

These predators are pathetic. Wall St. treads all over most Americans and these pieces of shit convince middle class Americans to attack democracy instead of the enemy. What the fuck happened to people? Doesn't anybody use their mind anymore? It's incredible that so many people can be so fuckin' stupid and continue to regurgitate the bile spewing out of Wall Street's puppets. Wake the fuck up people and see the real enemy - Wall St. and their middle class collaborators!!!

[metcage64]

goddam all statists to hell



[inbetweentheday]

Rick Santelli This asshole works on Wall Street and makes six figures ripping off people with his friends... He's the problem with his Wall Street game rules! They don't give a shit about you! I'm going to go cry now for him.

[danbrdoober]

@inbetweentheday He's a reporter you idiot.

[TheElusiveBirdMan]

these rich cocksuckers. fuck santelli.

[rog944]

What a bunch of staged, fake, bullshit!

[Concordanzus]

to hell with Obama!

[RonanG]

A tea party? Oh yes! I do love a tea party'...cried the Mad Hatter.

[conservativo]

Manufacturing is only going to move overseas at an accelerate pace as the price of making things in America continues to rise. Raising taxes isn't going to slow that down. Forcing businesses to pay more for employee entitlements like healthcare and pensions isn't going to slow it down. We simply will not be able to sustain our counsumerism with ongoing high unemployment and a devalued dollar. It's coming, folks, and they aren't looking out for us, only the big dogs.

[conservativo]

The government didn't bail main street out. Anyone who thinks the progressives are really sticking it to the wealthy and giving to the regular Joe is a fool. They have protected the big banks and uber-wealthy with their bailouts and "regulation." They bought time for the big dogs to move their investments, and in doing so they have led us towards hyperinflation, long-term unemployment and a weakened global economic position.

[BrianMChampion]

HISTORIC.

[pmonrealpolk]

Now people in all classes are losing houses. No Tea Party person can ever pay may mortgage. They are too busy demanding entitlements while condemning others for receiving theirs.

TODAY THE MARKET IS UP OVER 10000. OBAMA WORKS!!!!

[JohnGaltGurgi]

Badass. No doubt the shout heard round the world.

[jojopuppyfish]

Where was he when Bush was president?

[ASonOfLiberty1776]

@Josey2006

So we should blame the child for the sins of the father? Wow, your amoral heartlessness is rather evident...

[thhhegame33]

Who woulda thunk?!?

I never thought I'd see history on Squack Box....

[jolangjolang]

@thhhegame33 Good point - he did make history that day...

[sammysos21]

Straight up awesome

[jimmyjoe1975]

Glad to have him aboard, but us crazy Paulites were doing this in 2007.

[chickaboom73]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSPIRATION!

we have a weapon waiting in the wings.....

[RadYooper]

It isn't about the "rich-kids"! It affects the

aerage working class also. If you want to own a little business of your own, be it a t-shirt shop or a corner cafe, the govt is going to tax EVERY DIME That comes into your hands though it is not profit. In other words, the money your business earns that has to be put back into your business to pay heat, electricity, buy inventory...all will be taxed at a high rate. There will be NOTHING LEFT for you to take home!

[mizilus]

Ahhh santelli, you little blood oozing hole.

santelli is a forked tongued mouthpiece for fucking pirates. This little cunt should be up on charges for aiding and abetting a global banking fraud. Imagine if we had handed these fucking rapists social security. They wanted to take every single last cent from us.

So, please, someone help rick change his tampon and give him some midol. Civilized people used to hang fucking pirates from the yardarm.

[Chaiyala]

You have to go to Rick's website and sign up. Search for Rick Santelli's Chicago Tea Party and sign up.

[kathymaruyama]

What is the website?

[reefrunner9]

See ya at the Oak St. beach in July

[happy2brelaxin]

Great job Rick. Joe shouldn't be scared of capitalist. He should be scared of the havoc the Almighty Obama is creating in are economic system has he manufactures crisis and push his socialist cure.

[1Siamese1]

America is finally waking up! We'll fight for our freedom and liberty if we have to. The damage done by Obama in the last 30 days can only be rectified by an all out revolution. America are you ready?

[TAMARLANE]

I'm ready to go to the streets and join my fellow Americans in San Diego as they cover the waterfront downtown with demonstrations against the nationalism of banks, the nationalization of health care, the nationalization of education, the downsizing the military, the creation of a civil defense force to rival the military.

Obama is communist. I hope we can prove he was not born in America. Where can I send money to support the detective work necessary to find. proof positive about his birthplace

[puck30]

Tea Party In July!!!!!!!!!

[BlueTunisia]

Santelli is the MAN!!

[vibrasonic99]

Awesome!!  We need more people on fire like this!!

[tdforbust]

Why is Mr. Gibbs smiling and readily admitting that he had to learn how to read and ask what to believe from people smarter than himself. I saw this press conf. live and he showed up late and acted authoritarian.

Mr. Gibbs.--"YOU CANT STAY IN THIS PROGRAM UNLESS YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS"

You MORON, then why do they need assistance from the government? Everyone in that press room was laughing at HIM. The press were all being rude to him when he showed up late to the press conference.

[ByFife76]

PLEASE KEEP IT UP RICK!!!

Why is baldy smiling when he congratulates Santelli on his "re-incarnation as a revolutionary leader"? I think it is a great idea. Santelli hit the frickin nail on the head again and again. This is what we need running the country. What Santelli says can be expanded to the banks and auto industry though. Capitalism is survival of the fittest -- if you screw up, you go down.

[bjamin1884]

YES Rick. This administration has no idea what its doing. thank you for your voice of reason!

[recessionbreaker]

Rick's nailed it. This is reality on Main Street America. The problem is that we're too busy just trying to survive this thing that nobody has the time for activism and to speak out. Washington,--please leave us alone and let us work through this. You've done enough already!

[williampelish]

We need more people in the broader public eye to speak out. This is the first thing that makes any type of sense!

[Josh200067]

I'm a democrat who voted for Obama but this is not America.

Rick Santelli-

Finally a real American with Real American Values!!!

[nodumass1]

This Man is more of a statesman than Obama could ever hope to be. He is a Real Man with Values our President has none. He is A Government Give Me community organizer and Give Away So-Called Politician. God HELP Us All!!!!

[HPhenomenal]

@nodumass1 there is no god. read a science book.

[bwat5768]

I agree with Rick 150% This administration has to be watched closely. They are taking every democratic means away from us. I believe their after socialism in the U.S. Let the banks fall and start over. Let the homeowners start over. Let the appraisals start over. These people were greedy over inflated houses, borrowed too much. I didn't . I have done without raising my children for 20 years. I don't want to bail out my asshole neighbors. Keep up speaking out for us. Thank you Rick. Don't stop.

[Grecoholic]

I agree with Rick generally. But i do feel that if we do not do something about the economy we will face something that is worse than the Great Depression. I am poor I have no fear about poverty. I do fear the entire economy falling anymore than it is. My fiance works 2 jobs I work also. We lose one and that's it. We rent, and almost have a rusty car paid off. So tell me what you suggest for the economy besides letting it fall?

[JumpinJesuits]

End the Federal Reserve and the boom-bust business cycle it engenders and let there be a free market in currency so people can escape the intrinsically worthless US dollar. If this sort of bailing out worked, the Soviet Union would still be around.  I know things are tough, but when in your life has something ever come from nothing? When has rewarding short-sighted behavior ever ended it?

[jp3711nc1]

Obama wants to punish success but what about him he is successful we can't be successful anymore. I say Obama needs to sacrifice his house his car his limo and private plan make him sacrifice.

[TheMerryMisanthrope]

I'm driving down from Canada to join in! The mess is world wide...yes, I'm Mad as Hell and I'm not taking it anymore!

[memama2]

- The Seattle Times TODAY , February 20th! - they have a FRONT PAGE story of GOOBS putting down $75,000 dollars , on 1 MILLION dollar condo and hade a $20,000 dollar a year income and they wondered why they got SCAMMED out of the earnest money and the liars and looneys that started this whole process disgusted me - ALL IDIOTS!!! the stupidity of these people tring to enter a million dollar mansion condo and the evil lenders and real estate agent - now we are supposed to support these IDIOTS!???

[GCTraveler]

You rock, Rick! See you in July.

[Randerson0808]

God so very true!!

[conservativerebuild]

you go Rick! wOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[jarodulavic]

Is this going to be the modern day French Revolution where the country's Government is overrun and overthrown by the pheasants and the officials taken to the gallows. This is going to be facinating.

[spaceplayer]

Thank you, Rick. Atlas IS shrugging.

[rpeggio]

Nice reference spaceplayer. I bought that book about 5 mos ago and haven't cracked it open yet...think I will this weekend. I think folks are overreacting big time to this 'crisis'....Obama said 'crisis' 26 times in a speech the other day. I'll be in Chicago in July for sure! Seriously. I don't want my 19 month old son paying off this debt 50 years from now!

[spaceplayer]

Thanks, rpeggio. It's important that we all speak up now; Mr. Santelli is being trashed by the White House as we speak; I won't repeat their insults here. But Rick, thanks again! Yours was the shot heard 'round the world.

[ircjunk2004]

Stop rewarding those f*cking loser!! Satelli for President!

[riveras831]

Can we ALL be as passionate as this man? I am so angry about this fricking past presesident and now this one...same old ...same old!! VIVA RON PAUL!

[combat1856]

This is just the opening salvo of the 2nd American Revolution. I will never let my son inherent a socialist America.

[rage1605]

I agree 100%

Everyone needs to fly the Gadsden flag on their house so they know who is against this corrupt Governent and start to organize with people in your neighborhood.....

"Nemo me impune lacesset!!!!"

I will not let America become a socialist country either......we need to start revolting soon.

[sellhi78]

Amen! Rick (and the trading floor)understand the markets and the silent majority better than anyone. This part of the plan is madening. Socialism has started to grow ROOTS. Good luck changing what has already been put in motion. We have started to become the property of the government! I'll be at the Chicago TEA PARTY! BTW the constitution is not safe. Time to start stock pilling.

[nodumass1]

Obama should listen to these people who believe in the American Way not the Socialist America that Obama believes in and the people are dumb enough to fall for it.....

[bwat5768]

I agree. We need to be careful of our leaders now.

[nodumass1]

We are on a train with a one way ticket to hell if we don't get The Socialist Democrats out of office. We need grassroots people who are working to keep this country to Stand Up and Be Heard!!! I am glad you agree.

[sdadept]

if they have it, I sure as hell will go. I'm glad someone is standing up for those of us who pay our bills on time.

[marcogreek]

Finally! Can the pitchforks be far behind! Very refreshing to hear somebody speak for the silent majority!

[guymon2468]

Thanks for voicing how I feel!

[Egoist1957]

This...man...is...GOD!!!!

Forward this to EVERYONE you know. We need to get the message out!!

[thebagmanmiidaj]

Santelli is heroic.

[bwat5768]

I agree.
