Pretty disgusting. Particularly loathsome is the chorus of Wall Street oafs cheering this “analyst” on.

I’ve got an idea for Rick Santelli and all his financial fan boys. Rather than try to pin all the blame for this debacle on homeowners in foreclosure, why don’t you accept the reality of the situation: namely, that the vast majority of Wall Street (banks, insurance companies, rating agencies) went on a HUGE bender of greed and gluttony and screwed over the entire world economy in the process?

These people are paid incredibly well to be savvy about money and to analyze risk, and they flat out failed. End of story.

This ranting asshole needs a good ass-kicking. He never made anything of value is his miserable, misspent, delusional life.

They aren’t even hiding their contempt anymore.

They used to be better at it.

Thank you nonplussed and KayInMaine. It is extremely distressing to see the upper middle class turning on the lower middle class with such vehemence, and here at the ‘lake of all otherwise exceptionally enlightened places.

Nonplussed, the next time a neocon rants on like that, ask him the names of the people who used his tax money last year. He won’t be able to do it, because well, he’s an idiot.

More than 1/2 our money goes to defense. How come the wingers don’t cry about that? Spit.

I agree wholeheartedly with my friend Raven. We have people here who claim they are 20 years old, live on $23,000 a year and are making payments on a multi-unit rental property. We have people chastising us for not being “Progressive” even as he advocates turning out millions of people onto the streets-it’s progressive to put people in tent cities, Collinsvilles, I believe they’re called.

As for losers, people who mistake this blog for Free Republic certainly are.

Santelli has finally lost it..Good. The more he loses - the better off we all are.

Between him, Kudlow and Gasperino this bunch sound like the biggest bushies of the last 8 years and they’re crying in their beer that they are NO LONGER RELEVANT !!

ZEROS….

I hope to see this asshole motherfucker broke on the street with no teeth and an empty tin cup begging for alms. If there was a God, we would see that on CNBC in a couple of months.
Me, I wouldn’t just walk by. I would give him a penny and tell him to spend it in good health. Then I would call him a loser.
But there is no God like that. Maybe the least I can hope for is he chips a bridge on his filet mignon tonight.

He should at the very least be taken off of the airwaves.

I hope Santelli loses everything. I will be the first to point and laugh.

To whom are they making this claim of balance?

Why to other Villagers and corporate shills of course.
