4. I hate to use the word, but this guy is one big PUSSY
Unbelievable! He wants to agitate ans stir shit up, but then blames his WIFE when his agitation is called out and he's called a liar?

He's NOT a *member of the press* - he's a talking head for Wall Street. I hope the press, whether it be the MSM or the webpress, keep on this guy's shit until he's hounded off the air. HE is a TRAITOR to the country. HE is a BIG part of the problem going on right now.

13. I may have less of a problem calling him a pussy than you
but that is what he is being. Oh no Robert Gibbs is threatening me because my wife told me he was. Can't get much worse than that.

5. The wing nuts are learning that they lost and there is a price to pay.

No more do they get to hit and run.

I think Obama will be successful. So many people have lost something because of the last administration's policies coupled with the repub congress. Their politicization of everything and their insistence on right wing conservative doctrine being shoved down everyone's throat is what got us here and everyone knows it.

6. Gibbs asked where Santelli lived because
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 11:34 AM by Kajsa
Santelli was claiming EVERYONE affected by the housing
crash " had extra bathrooms", etc!

Gibbs was interested in finding out where this fantasy
neighborhood existed. Santelli knew that- nevertheless
he continued to WHINE about being "called by name","asking
where I lived", WHAT A WUSSY!

Someone call a Whambulance, quick.

This out of touch punk doesn't know his butt from a hot rock
yet is telecast ranting and raving for the entire country to see.

What?

Please discredit and get rid of this arrogant, cowardly idiot!

He IS the problem.

:(

7. Shut the fuck up Santelli you blubbering shit-rocket.
If your going to make an ass of yourself on the floor of the NYSE for the world to see, like some fascist cheerleader, you fucking deserve all the attention you get regardless of who's got their eye on you. Dish it out, and be enough of a man to deal with the ramifications you pathetic pud.

10. Santelli has a point .............
although he failed to make it.

Calling him a lying punk is more than a little over the top. Worse, it adds fuel to the fire that is started anytime anyone's name in mentioned in the media.

This country has an inordinate share of crazies lying in wait for a target whose destruction will satisfy their need to justify their pitiful existence.

Does anyone doubt some malcontents in our society are hard at work digging up Santelli's home address, phone number, et cetera, in order to foment their version of "justice" to be applied to someone for expressing an opinion?

The time for the mindset of those who will go to any lengths to bring the other guy down has passed, at least for a couple of years. For the most part, the 'other guys' have largely disappeared from the list of commenters to articles such as this one.

This is a good time to pass up an opportunity to pillory someone who dares to express their opinion. President Obama just spent a couple of years making a powerful demonstration of the value of decency and not falling into the trap that is sprung when one gets down in the gutter with those who do not agree with them.

wyndycty might be shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover how little credence is given to his opinion by many. Lighten up, sir, and start appealing to the 'better angels' of our nature. Give it a shot - you might be surprised how much better you will feel.

14. He has no point. . .he is pretending to be a martyr for expressing his opinion. . .
. . .I have no problem with him opposing the housing bill.

I don't doubt that folks are looking him up but I guarantee it was not at Gibbs urging.

No one is pillorying him for having an opinion contrary to the administration's, what I and others are pillorying him for is being such a damn nincompoop for thinking that Gibbs' needling of him was a threat. How have his first amendment rights been threatened?

I feel fine, I also just think its laughable that this fool calls out the president and when others call him out in response he claims that his First Amendment rights are being threatened. . .

15. so he agitates against the working class and we have to PASS on calling him on it?
When these evil, duplicitous assholes no longer have nationwide coverage to push the propaganda and LIES, I'll pass on pillorying.

He was not *just* expressing an opinion. He was fomenting rage against the VICTIMS of the crisis HE helped create. He's a scumbag, and should have to face the music for his bullshit.
