Did you see the CNBC correspondent who led the Chicago Mercantile Exchange REVOLT live on TV?

Seriously, is this any kind of SEC violation? I am all for free speech but it seems like the this guy is potential tampering with the market by screaming fire in a crowded theater.

About That Santelli Rant . . .
February 19, 2009 02:58 PM ET | Kirk Shinkle | Permanent Link | Print

Rick Santelli's rant today on CNBC about the Obama Administration's housing bailout is weird enough, but what really makes it special is the promo that airs before the clip. It's an ad for CNBC's upcoming special NEWBOs: The Rise of America's New Black Overclass.

So there you go: We now inhabit a world where commodity traders occupy the "silent majority" of hard-working Americans who just don't want to pay for other people's mortgages and we're ruled by a "new black overclass."

1. *knock*knock* Mr. Santelli? It's the IRS...we have a large microscope we'd like to insert in your...

...ass...now show us your returns...for the last DECADE.....

This guy, and the channel he works for, are right-wing capitalist pigs...

[MadBadger]

2. Hes on MSNBC now

[EV_Ares]

3. Did you hear the ass call those who were in mortgage trouble "losers"? Said

didn't want to pay for the losers mortgages. Jerk.

[Numba6]

12. Cause he's already made all the money he can from them, now he wants money given to him 10 cents on

the dollar

[Better Believe It]

4. Why don't he get a real fucking job?

[Thrill]

5. CNBC is as bad as Faux News

[truebrit71]

13. It has gotten progressively worse over the last six months...

...since it became obvious to all but the knuckle-dragging 23% that Obama was going to win they have been ratcheting up the anti-Democratic rhetoric on a daily basis...Makes me ill...and I have to watch it all day long...:puke:

[AlCzervik]

6. Bloomberg is the channel to watch, info, not assholes.

no zazz.

[rvablue]

7. What's an "overclass."??? (snark) n/t

[indepat]

8. Just Rick Santelli being Rick Santelli. To his credit, he rants almost daily, many of which have

excoriated various BushCo ludicrousnesses. :P

[grantcart]

9. He should have been fired on the spot - then he may change his mind about some of those benefits

[TeamJordan23]

10. Was he crying about the wall street bailouts also? Those 'losers' ran the banks into the ground. nm

[Numba6]

11. The rich like to declare war on the poor whenever their 7 figure salaries dip a bit

The asses on business channels who demand tax cuts & MORE DEREGULATION aren't gonna be happy until they back the semis full of cash & dump'em on the trading room floor

Again

& you can bet it will be recast -- glowingly -- ad infinitum as the voice of the silent majority-- the silent majority who make 7 figures
