I think Rick Santelli was responsible for the tea party protests! A modern day patriot if i've ever seen one.

Youde think with all the layoffs, and more to come..people have more thqan enough time to angrily protest* youde think!!! public voices need to be heard, otherwsie wallstreet and the feds will simply steamroll over us all.

I cant believe this thread popped back up again, but glad it did.

I remember watching this that morning, it was so inspiring. He only said what everyone else was saying. He just had the kahonas to say it on tv. I have respect for that man.

Absolutly that man started the tea parties. BUT he had to tone it down or loose his job so Glen and some others ran with it. Someone needed to because it WAS going to happen. I thought it was great that for the longest time after, the guys on the floor hung tea bags off their screens.
