If you've watched Santelli as long as I have, you know that this is not an unusual sentiment for him and you have basically said you didn't know who he was, so I'm thinking you don't know how he operates in general. Correlation; we can has. Causation - no one can show me it. Pat McGroin is basically correct. Not manufactured.

Pat McGroin is basically correct.

You look at him and realize you're lucky not to be 'special'. Whatever happened to the movement for forced sterilization?

He gets stuff stuck in his hand all day by the CME/CBoT populous- some is parroted, some not. No conspiracy here, if you're not sure then you can meet him in the bar and ask him yourself...

It wouldn't be all that expensive or difficult to have a number of sites on deck six months previous, and Santelli seems like the perfect guy to have handed a couple of choice phrases to to work into a populist rant live on air. I'm not sure about the vast right-wing Charles Koch-led conspiracy business, and all that's well beyond the scope of LOLFed anyway, but it sure looks like a lot of the accolades being heaped upon Rick for this are wholly undeserved. It would be nice if either he or CNBC would address this and issue an apology. It would also be nice if my dog didn't snore, but that's not likely to happen either.

It seemed like a *manufactured* big deal, but what story isn't, I guess. I dunno that I think it's a plant, but I do know that I don't think the buzz around it was completely organic, and whether Santelli had anything to do with that or not, I don't know. This video's about a year old and at the end of it, it's the Chicago traders w/ Santelli, cheering Ron Paul. That someone would own the ChicagoTeaParty domain name doesn't seem so weird in this context. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mkUc0k2ePhk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mkUc0k2ePhk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> For me the oddest thing about the Santelli rant was that I saw it that morning and didn’t think much of it because that is kind of how the Chicago floor guys are — but then a couple hours *after* it had actually happened, Drudge made it his top OMG BREAKINGNEWS story, with sirens and alarm bells.
