Santelli did not like the remarks by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and even pondered if it was a ‘Veiled Threat’ by making a bizarre reference to "not knowing where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives."
This is scary stuff.
This is just the latest example of Gibbs being in way over his head, even farther than his boss actually.
Veiled?
That’s not how I heard it.
Tell Scott McClellan Jr and his boss to taking a flying f***** leap.
So where’s the audio?
I just want him to know he has at least one “safe house” available to him in Virgnia, should he find it necessary to “lay low” for a while. I’ll be happy to host him!
It was pretty obvious Gibbs intended to send some of the boys over to pull Santelli’s arms and legs off, but what the heck ~ that’s what you get when you put a Chicago pol’ in charge of the White House.
Link doesn’t work
I don’t blame Santelli for not understanding Gibb’s remark. Gibbs is an idiot!
Yeah, I didn’t exactly notice the “veil” either. it must have been close to transparent.
Yeah, I thought it sounded like a threat when I first heard it last week.
You 404’d it. Gnarly, dude.

Punt.
I think Santelli understood it quite well.
That was no veiled threat
Compared to the 5 years of caterwauling from the left over the imaginary White House vendetta against Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson, the left seems rather complacent that a private citizen - an CNBC guest - is being personally ridiculed from the podium in the White House press room.
Wow, how’d they manage to pull that vid so quickly?
Santelli has more support that he knows. Although, I do believe he is a short-timer at CNBC. They will not tolerate someone off the Obama reservation. Watch for Santelli to show up at Fox Business real soon.
There’s a link on the right side of the page.
I have some advice for little baby gibbs and his creepy little boss, leave Santelli alone, he has millions covering his back.
The Chicago Daley Political/Crime Machine Mob and the Clinton/Clinton Dixie Mafia/Raum Emmanuel (table stabber and dead fish expert) hard at work.
I wonder if they will send someone to jog with his wife and mention their cat's name?
scarburough was doing a fluff fest with Gibbs today. Essentially trying to make him a “nice guy”.
It only furthered the notion that Obama is an administration of lightweights.
Remember when Tony Snow too the office of WH press secretary? Now there was a person who had the gravitas of the office. I may not have agreed with all he said but I still had respect for him.
Gibbs is not even worthy of his shadow.
It’s still up.
‘scarburough was doing a fluff fest with Gibbs today. Essentially trying to make him a “nice guy”.’
Hypothermia will do that to ya...(chuckle)
Agreed. It was a strange statement for Gibbs to make that, at first, sounded like a threat to me, too - probably to most of us. But then he went into talking about other people’s mortgages, etc. It seemed he was trying to compare Mr. Santelli living in a nice house with other Americans struggling. Same old, tired Democrat line. But, probably not an actual “threat”.
Journalists were invited to lunch with BO today. It was reported on CNBC that Rick Santelli was discussed AGAIN by that pasty-faced yes-man, Gibbs. He again said that Santelli hadn’t read BO’s plan to save the world and that’s why he made those remarks...which is a lie.
BO really cannot stand to have any criticism, and as thin-skinned as he is, some high-octane needling could lead to an impressive melt-down in the future. Just sayin’....
Gibbs sounds like a ‘Teamster’ to me.
They always seem to know where you live and the names of your wife and kids...
Boy do we miss Tony!
Better make sure he gets a 1099 if he does.
“He again said that Santelli hadn’t read BO’s plan to save the world and that’s why he made those remarks...which is a lie.”
NO ONE that signed to stupid thing read it either! So what’s your point, Gibbs?!
to=the sorry
Won’t let this website open????????
Reporter Who Posted Doctored YouTube Video Fired
And, thanks to that guy, we can all refer to Eric Holder as “the blue scrotum monkey”
It came off sounding very bare-toothed ugly, but at the least offensive minimum it was a knee-jerk attempt to discredit the man by appeal to populist resentment. “Don’t listen to Santelli, he’s a disconnected rich guy, not of the people!”
The most remarkable thing is how naturally it burst through, like an unexpected dog bite.
I expect Gibbs got a smack on the snout for it when his master caught up with him later.
Throws into sharp relief what the signers of the Declaration of Independence were putting on the line. Obviously there was no cable TV, and King George III didn’t have a Robert Gibbs, but the dynamics are more or less the same.
I love this guy! He has to run for President!
Santelli / Palin 2012!
Joe is nothing but a fluffer.
Baby Face Gibbs reminds me of Baby Face Nelson.
Who can ever forget the teamster thugs that beat Don Adams during a peaceful protest against slick willie.
Santelli needs to protect his safety. Recall too the threats against Kathleen Willey.
I have this nagging feeling that Santelli’s next report will be “How the Stimulus is affecting people in Siberia.”
"Nice Place You got here. Oh, and I see you've got a nice family, too. Well, we'll count on your support in November!"
That remark of Gibbs’ is the sort of crap that is common among city-dwellers who try to appear tough, try to imitate the thugs they grew up with;
and it is sooooo low-class.
Gibbs sounds like a ‘Teamster’ to me.
They always seem to know where you live and the names of your wife and kids...

You are exactly right. We were threatened and harassed by the Teamsters when I was a girl. I had to be escorted to and from school by a guard for a couple of years. Thugs.
Good.
What the government is not able to effect volunatarily will be imposed at the end of a gun. Idle threat? No way. Wards carefully chosen. Things like this will begin to spiral out of control.
“Veiled? That’s not how I heard it.”
<<Me either—when I heard it I thot...that’s a threat; But then isn’t this administration full of “Chicagoans”....
