Look at all those 'average Americans' that Santelli is surrounded by that don't want any moral hazards. Wait, where was he standing? The Chicago Mercantile Exchange? Hmmmmm. Hadn't we already bailed out the banks when these 'average Americans' suddenly got religion? I wonder what would have happened to their livelihoods had we let the financial meltdown proceed.

So these hypocrites don't mind when THEY get bailed out, but object to bailing out the 'losers.' I see. Jackholes.

Tea Party people argue that no one or industry it "too big to fail". All markets correct themselves, thus the beauty of the free market system.

"All markets correct themselves, thus the beauty of the free market system." Since when?

"Demanding that banks lower lending requirements- so everyone could own a home." This another fantasy as the banks created credit default swaps which was a creation of the banks but certain states had it banned until commodities act 2000 legalized what banks always wanted not your blunt lying of "NOT banks (initially)."

[kickyerass]

This was pushed by democrats Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Demanding that banks lower lending requirements- so everyone could own a home. Typical liberal touchy-feely utopian fantasy bullshit. It caused our housing market to crash. Our GOV'T did this, NOT banks (initially). The more gov't does, the more they do less well. They have been usurping authority for many generations. This madness is ruining us. You should look in the mirror. There'll be a jack-ass looking back.

I see u make it up as u go along. U don't tell 1/2 the story- as long as u create a false narrative- u don't care about being accurate. We average Americans (though ur alluding to we conservatives) are 100% against GOV'T involvement in things that they never had any business in in the 1st place. Meaning particularly; the free market economy. They've bastardized our system to be CRONY capitalism. Which fucks up everything! Congress critters passed unjust legislation which decided winners & losers

[kickyerass]

What are you; a fucking retard? You think Jon Stewart is half as intelligent as Santelli on the subject of economics?? OMG .. SMFH BTW, Santelli was never mad at any homeowners, you indoctrinated pea-brain lemming. Stewart consistently creates false premises and then runs with them as though they're facts. Typical liberal trick. It won't stand the truth test, but what the hell. Most times libs aren't called on it- in our extremely liberal media.

[kickyerass]

So you think our founding fathers were a bunch of uninformed, duped dummies, huh? We tea party people are much smarter than you allude to. We know that both parties are rife with sell-outs who could give a rat's ass about representing we, the people. You need to wake up, and stop being such a smarmy ass. Stop looking down your dick-shaped nose at other folks who may be much smarter than you. You idiot cunt.

[kickyerass]

Hey fuck you, you stupid fucking cunt. I see you don't have anything intelligent to say. You can't argue your retarded ideology, can you! Fuckin liberals have no ability to REASON, so they call their adversary names. And that's it!!! Wow!! You liberals are fucking idiots!!

[Morgan Freeman]

actually, under true capitalism, they would have been left to fail. but obama bailed them out, leaning towards croney-capitalism. also, not every bank is huge and "evil" as many people like to think, and not every one was bailed out.

Teabaggers unite.
