A Veiled Threat?

Rick Santelli has found his gimmick.

He's now the official "victim" of White House thuggery.

Wait, didn't (m)Ann Coulter just write a book about victimhood. But, wasn't that about Democrats?

Seems that Rick went on a talk-radio program hosted by the lunatic fringe's own "unrepentant terrorist", G. Gordon Liddy, and tried to pass of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibb's discussion about his delusional rant as a "threat" directed at him:

SANTELLI: He started that press conference saying, “I don’t know where he lives, I don’t know where his house is.” This is the Press Secretary of the White House. Is that the kind of thing we want? Is that —

LIDDY: It’s a veiled threat.

SANTELLI: It really is. […] I don’t really want to be a spokesman, but I really am very proud of a) the response I’m getting, which is overwhelmingly positive, and b) discourse, that is debate. That if the pressure and the heat I’m taking from the White House – the fact my kids are nervous to go to school – I can take that, okay.

Here's the audio:



You catch that part in the beginning? Where he says that Gibbs starts the conference speculating where Santelli might live? Liddy even goes on to say that Gibb's stated "we know where you live". Talk about a patent lie.

To bad that's not how it happened - AT ALL.

Hannity Hypocrisy

During last night's post-debate analysis, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs called-out Sean for his use of Andy Martin in the "guilt by association" piece during last Sunday's Hannity's America



Good for Gibbs on bringing that up. However, he should have taken this a step further. He should have told Sean if he thinks Martin's rabid anti-semitism can be overlooked in order to push his own ideological agenda, then his argument in regards to Obama is moot.

But, the more telling aspect of this piece is that Sean immediately claims that he is a "friend of Isreal", and that his record of "30 years" shows this.

One would think that, in the fairness of Fox"News" that he is forcefully espousing to Gibbs, he would have disclosed Martin's true nature at some point. He seemed to know that Gibbs would bring it up, as is more than apparent in the clip.
