Santelli (who was the privileged arrogant asshole I referenced) was not talking about the stimulus package, but the Mortgage modification program, complaining about greedy homeowners being 'bailed out' when 40% of the stimulus package was tax cuts per Republican dogma (when measured by reality these are just about the worst form of economic stimulus, returning only about 70-80 cents in economic activity for every dollar spent). > The passage of the monstrosity known as Obamacare further galvanized the Tea > Party into a political movement that you fail to understand and continue to > mischaracterize. Well in your mind it's a monstrosity, but it's actually the health care plan your side came up with. > > If anyone wants to know what the Tea Party is about, the last person they'd > want to ask is a government educrat like Mr. Johnson. > Yeah. that's effective. > Now ask me what I think about those Occupests (or is it Occupisseds?) Oh don't worry, I can guess: you think they're dirty fucking hippies who should shave, shower and get a job.
