Rick Santelli responds to this loon in a video embedded in this article at the web site

ROTFLOL These people haven’t a clue as to who or what the Tea Party is.

[Cheetahcat]

Yes the very people that built this place are freaked out, you Leftist loon!

[RichInOC]

Well, don’t judge everybody by me.

[Oiao]

Wow. I don't feel ‘freaked out’ and I pay more taxes then most of my block.

Am I white? I act white and kind of ‘Uncle Tomish’.

We now know that the Progressive Left and the 2012 election will be all about replacing ‘BushHitlerCheny’ with the ‘Boogie Man TEA Party’ to run against.

Hey, where did all of those AstroTurf War Protesters go? ANSWER? Not a peep since the DNC told them to back off. MoveOn.... LOL, hiding.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Santelli - Take no prisoners! Pissed off the rich white woman!

As with most elitists, Whitney simply doesn't get it.

They continue to try to demonize us or marginalize us, but it backfires and just makes us even more passionate about our cause.

[OldNewYork]

Ah, the old ‘what’s wrong with you; why are you so angry at the horrible things I said about people like you?’ response from her. A classic.

[Bernard Marx]

I wonder what kind of reaction a political headline that contained the words “Freaked Out Black Men” would create? Oh, I think I know the answer.

[RoosterRedux]

Whitney stepped in it and Santelli called her out. She seemed sincerely flummoxed...it’ll be interesting to see if she changes her snobbish tune.

[BipolarBob]

The Tea Party isn't about race.It's about a CHANGE from the status quo of Washington.

[oldbrowser]

Santelli is the founder of the Tea Party. This loon doesn't know who she is criticizing. She thinks it is unemployed angry white men.

[D_Idaho]

“…freaked-out white men who are unemployed…”
Well, she’s partially right about that. I am freaked out and I am white. That’s because I AM employed and seeing my future slip away because of runaway government.

[imskylark]

Angry because they want more unemployment benefits? This woman is completely in the dark about the tea party.

[MsLady]

Hmmmm, last time I checked I was a white female. And so were about half the people that showed up to our last tea party rally. In fact the person in charge of our tea party is a woman.

Seems much more likely that it's the left that's freaked out.

[KJC1]

Yeah, whoever this Whitney person is, she totally missed the boat. TEA = Tax Enough Already.

[NoLibZone]

Imagine if Rush said: The DNC is made up of angry blacks.

[KJC1]

Ugh, I meant "Taxed Enough Already" lol

[samtheman]

Bump
