Subscribe to RSSNoted Tea Party favorite and combative freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) let his emotions get the best of him over the weekend when talking to some constituents at a bar in his district.
When asked about the U.S. banking meltdown, Walsh screamed, "Don't blame banks and don't blame the marketplace for the mess we are in right now, I'm tired of hearing that crap!"
He then told one man, "Be quiet or you're going to have to leave!"
The full video was posted by a liberal political blog called "Thump and Whip."
Walsh's D.C. office had no comment on the video.

He's my congressman and he's an a$$.
Not once when I've contacted him and chimed in with my opinions of legislation being voted on in congress has he even acknowedged muchless responded.
Sure my views are different than his, but just as valid.
He's an awful representative for his district.
He's nothing more than a pompous bully.
now there is one sorry,hypocritical,fascist,tea baggin,republican,newt gingrich[twin], dead beat so called bum!!he needs to be taken to THE WOODSHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hopefully we get rid of this jerk next election,then maybe he will pay his debt to his kids!!!don't they deduct the money owed for being a dead beat dad right out of his check,or is congress exempt from this also????????help,please.bob.
I can not believe that this DEADBEAT DAD was in a bar spouting this CRAP and didn't get his ass kicked !!!
Everyone should watch Lawrence O tonight and listen to Abramoff explain how to purchase your own congressman. This is what is wrong with our economy and ALL of these guys are guilty of it. I love bashing right wing wacko's but dems are taking the money too. For God's sake,Grover Norquist is a lobbyist...look for clues!!
The media helps these clowns along without calling them out
this idiot has to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey cowboy17,well said about abramoff,seen him on 60 minutes sunday,what a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!also,put the dead beat in that bar after he gets his ass beat in the next election,can get two for one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walsh just got an award from the Family Values group, for being such a supporter of family values. Really, that's a fact. Too bad he won't even support his own kids. How in the hell do you rightwing maniacs support these people? These politicians are crazy, but you lunatics who actually vote for them are 10 times worse. You only enable them to become crazier and crazier...like a catch 22. They get crazier, you get even more crazier.......Hopefully, one day very soon, you'll all implode. Just take a look @ Hermie Cain on how to do that.
only family values he seems to support are the nut case teagagger family values cause he damn sure dont support his own family.......
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Are you serious?? You're the outsider and you ask a constituent to leave?? What?? And who but the banks made these crazy no-doc loans? And bundled up the mortgages and sold off the risk?? I'm sorry you are tired of hearing this but you, sir, were sent to WAshington DC to represent the real people. Not corporate "people" who have no ethics, no souls, and no children. Outrageous.
Joe spent the last year, In the Tea Bag Way
Couldn't poll much higher
Banks are blameless, Think it's safe to say, "When I hear that crap, I tire",
And we don't need the libbies, Crying 'cuz the storie's sad
'Cuz the Tea Bagger Way, Is worse than the way we had
Well Joe's tellin' us this, And Joe's tellin' us that
Changes it every day, say's it doesn't matter
On the government dole, Joe's a deadbeat dad
Screamin what he wants to say, crazy as the Mad Hatter
And we don't need the libbies
Crying 'cuz the storie's sad, uh huh
Tea Bagger Way
Is worse than the way we had
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Good stuff !!!
Now can you do something with Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter.(Hermans horny Hermits)
Shouldn't that be "Mrs. Bialek you've got a lovely daughter"? ;-)
I'm Herman Cain you've got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are somethin' rare
But it's sad, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough it ain't no good to file
She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she didn't want the job
She's made it clear enough it ain't no good to file
Walkin' about, even in a crowd, well
I'll pick her out, makes a bloke feel so proud
If she finds out I've been round to see you (round to see you)
Tell her that I'm well and feelin' thighs (feelin' thighs)
Don't let on, don't say she's broke my campaign
I'd go between her knees but it's no good to file
Walkin' about, even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out, makes a bloke feel so proud
I'm Herman Cain, you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
I'm Herman Cain, you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
I'm Herman Cain, you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
I'm Herman Cain, you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
He's tired of hearing that crap....ha ha ha just wait, this @!$%# hasn't seen or heard anything yet. This is only just the very beginning.
A Reublican will win in 2012, no matter how you Liberals try to "spin it", because Obama is a HYPOCRITE:
Read Joe Scarborough :
"... Obama seems capable of effortlessly floating between demonizing Wall Street gambling one day and profiting from it the next. The audacity is breathtaking. The president has raised more money from Wall Street through the Democratic National Committee and his campaign account than any politician in American history. This year alone, he has raked in more cash from bank employees, hedge fund managers and financial services companies than all Republican candidates combined."
"Even poor Mitt Romney was outraised by the Obama money machine at his former employer, Bain Capital, by a margin of 2 to 1."
"It is a campaign operation whose wheels are greased by Wall Street bundlers like MF Global former chief, Jon Corzine . These financiers are so good at what they do that the Center for Responsive Politics reports that Obama's Wall Street fundraising will "far surpass 2008 in terms of raw dollars and as a percentage of what he raises overall."
"That's saying a lot considering that Obama's "Hope and Change" campaign in 2008 raised more money from the financial community than any other politician in American history."
ALL YOU LIBERALS........GO AHEAD AND DEMONIZE THE "FAT CATS" , JUST LIKE OBAMA (HYPOCRITES ONE AND ALL)
Leona
Please read my post #32, if you haven't already. Can you answer my question? How in the hell do you support these lunatics? Never mind, I know the answer. Your hatred for President Obama doesn't let you see how things really are. Take off the blinders, stop watching Fox, and then there might be some hope left for you. You can't see what's right in front of you. But here's what you do....take a look at the votes in Ohio, Mississippi and Maine, then try to tell me again a Republican will win in 2012. You're just damn crazy!
Me thinks she doth protest to much......translation....shut it !!!
Hey Cowboy
you talking to me or Leona?
hey Dee,
I didn't write that article above, Joe Scarborough (former Congressman) did.
You call the Repubs "lunatics" and yet you turn a blind eye to every Democrat "lunatic" in D.C.
You are asking me how we support Repubs and we are asking how YOU support Dems who cant "fix" problems.
About the votes from last night, you are selecting only the votes that benefitted Dems.
Virginia Repubs did well last night and in Ohio the voters said NO to Obamacare's mandate.
Hey Leona;
Would that be the same Joe Scarbrough who had to resign his Congressional seat when they found a DEAD intern in his office?
Is THAT the Joe your hanging your hopes on?
LMFAO@Loony Leona!
Leona & Fiesty: most of the time, Wall Street puts its money where they think the winner will be. Your telling me that Wall Street, as a whole, has given more money to Barack Obama's campaign than to every single GOP candidate, combined. So, Wall Street, which bets with its money (and ours) is pretty well betting that Obama will win. And Bain Capital, which knows Romney better than any other candidate, is betting for Obama 2:1.... that's pretty telling, wouldn't you say?
dirp,
Yes, that is "telling." It's telling us that Obama is in "the pocket" of Wall Street at the same time he goes around the country demonizing Wall Street. He's nothing but a HYPOCRITE and he needs to GO. Next !
Feisty, I don't listen to any claims you make, they are usually lies, on top of name calling. As far as me "hanging my hopes" on Scarborough..........I didn't know he was running for President . LOL As far as what he wrote about Obama, every word is true.
I know you don't honey - when I presented a video to prove you are a certifiable liar - you did your usual routine of, sticking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, stomping your widde feet while chanting;
LALALALALALALALALA!
Is there any reason in particular that you make outrageous claims without back up and when challenged for PROOF either;
A.) Change the subject
B.) Tell us to take your word for it
C.) Run away & hide
D.) All of the above
You NEVER disappoint me sweetie! ;o)
Leona: no, I'd say that what President Obama is doing is saying that the "Wall Street fat cats" (a/k/a the 1% to the OWS crowd) should be paying additional taxes and apparently, at least based on the amount of money they are giving to his campaign, the Wall Street hedge fund managers and bankers agree.
I don't find that at all hypocritical. President Obama is not saying they should not make money, just that they need to pay more taxes and be more stronly regulated. Exactly what Walsh is complaining should not happen.
The most ironic story this month is Corzine's company going bankrupt... from being too heavily leveraged and utilizing investor's money to make highly risky investments (aka bets) on European debt instruments. This IS the same guy who in 2008 said there should be regulations to prevent just these kind of activities.... but then, the Republicans said NO, you'll strangle Wall Street. just too funny!!
FEISTY,
YOU SAY THAT I ..... "A.) Change the subject" B.) "Tell us to take your word for it"
C.)" Run away & hide" ???
HAHA 1. I am right here every day, just about. Too bad for vicious old you, I might add.
2. I never change the subject, it's just that you wish I would so you didn't have to hear me disagree with you on every issue.
3. I never tell people to take my word for anything. I would like it if everyone read multiple sources ( not just Msnbc ) so they would come up with their own conclusions. Instead , people like you drink the kool aid and spew it out.
Why do YOU spend your "precious time" replying to my comments with No facts, you reply with attacks and name calling.......????
Honey - I made my case...
I'll let the readers decide WHO has more credibility - if that's okay with you... lol
In other words - you are dismissed... sweetie! ;o)
He doesn't EVEN LISTEN to his constituents...he needs to be ousted. A politician is supposed to listen and respond to his constituents...he was so pissed off ranting that he told his own constituents to 'shut up'. And BTW, if the government backed off, we would be in a worse situation; however, I think the government should back off NOW because when the companies come to a government for a bailout, they can say "no. You didn't want our regulations; you made your bed, now lie in it".
'Don't blame the banks ... I'm tired of hearing that crap!' We inherited a huge mess along with crisis from the Conservative Republicans and elite GOP leaders from the last 8 years. It will take 8 years to clean up and rebuild America.
That was a good laugh. Deadbeat Daddy is cracking under the pressure. The constituents were great and well composed. From his comments them Banks must have wasted million on all them lobbyists they had in Washington over the years getting the laws the banks wanted passed....what is that called plausible deniability.
Joe, I hate to tell you this but the person you threatened to toss out was your boss.
Ask you to leave! ASK YOU TO LEAVE???!!!! Guess the Tea Party is not going to let something as trivial as the First Amendment stand in the way of their agenda.
Tired of hearing that crap huh ??? He must mean kinda like his ex is tired of hearing the excuses on why he doesnt pay his child support. Y know , kinda like that
Walsh is a loser, who found himself elected in an anti-incumbant period, and who subsequently found a meal ticket pandering to the mis-informed and tea-baggers.
s
There are only three possible conclusions that can be drawn from this video:
1) Rep. Walsh truly believes what he says, and is, therefore woefully, or willfully uninformed.
2) Rep. Walsh is too stupid to understand what really caused this last recession.
3) Rep. Walsh fully understands, and knows what the real causes of this last recession were, but is lying.
None of these are good conclusions to be made about a United States Congressional Representative. The voters might want to rethink their choice of representative next year. Personally, IMHO #2 is the correct conclusion.
I1m not trying to pat myself on the back ( I can`t BTW) but I`m 80, retired , and I still help my kids when I can. I have no use for a creep that would stiff his own kids. If he wants to complain about something, let him clean up his own act first.
Ya think !!!! hey bywood, ya gotta stop making sense like that cause you gonna make an off the wall teagagger mad when you do that.........
yeah or else he might try to tell you to shut up and get off the internet
Truth hurts , ha ? Tell this idiot that it was not the seniors on Social Security that needed bailout from S&L a decade ago to recent Wall Street bailout that caused the crisis - it WAS BANKS AND CROOKED POLITICIANS. Ask him , why no crooks on Wall Street that caused the crisis are in jail ? They are protected by crooked politicians like he is, probably, and Obama. What is he doing to bring our economy back from the Chinese, about closing our borders, about stopping importation of slave labor products that are killing American jobs. about rigged inflation figures for COLA that Clinton with Boskin Commision cheated millions of our seniors of money due them.
you people think this guy cares what you or his constituants think ??? Is so your more goofy than he ever was.....which probably explains how he got in office in the 1st place......why would he care, when he's done after 4 yrs he gets a 6 figure pension and healthcare for life ........but hey after all its the guy that works 45yrs gets his 30,000 a year pension and has to help pay for his healthcare thats the problem right ???
Right, don't blame the institutions whose reckless gambling in the marketplace brought the global economy to the brink, blame Obama and the socialists. Typical Teabagger
Now ya learning the teagagger M.O. and that is to say anything at all except what the truth actually is........america has finally seen the bagger colors and are finding out they dont like the color yellow !!!!
Whats this we are hearing of Fannie and Freddie wanting to pay million dollar bonuses to their top executives.......with our tax money that we have to borrow??
