Audio: Guy shouted down by CNN hack at tea party chats with Mark Levin; Update: Roesgen on “vacation,” says CNN
posted at 2:05 pm on April 17, 2009 by Allahpundit
“The stupidity that came out of her mouth was unbelievable,” he says, still clearly exasperated two days later, and so it was, so it was. He’s a blog reader, too — Newsbusters is name-checked — which is gratifying insofar as it suggests, however anecdotally, that the ‘sphere might be gaining traction among committed grassroots conservatives. I wonder what percentage of tea-partiers were loyal fans of the boss or Instapundit. Onward and upward, new media.
Mona Charen tries her best to explain to Team Turner that this is about more than being “anti-CNN”:
What Ms. Roesgen and others like her do not understand is that some people are interested in more than their own narrow self-interest. Perhaps the protestor she interviewed, who was holding his two-year-old son, is eligible for a tax rebate. And perhaps his state will get a juicy piece of the stimulus money. It is possible, just possible, that such bribes do not influence him. Perhaps they don’t buy his support because he is skeptical that his taxes can remain low when the federal government is embarked on a record-shattering spending spree. He may be offended by the bailout culture, in which it seems that every irresponsible borrower, failed car company, and free-spending state is being rescued by the federal government. Additionally, he may be dubious that the government will spend the money wisely. It has been rumored that government spending has produced waste, fraud, inefficiency, and corruption. But he also may simply believe that engorging the government and enfeebling the private sector — no matter who is writing the checks — is not good for the economic or spiritual health of the country.
Note to Norm: Don’t take Roesgen’s attitude personally. It is, allegedly, merely a byproduct of rejection.
Update: Wouldn’t you know it, Roesgen’s taking a little break right now. CNN claims the vacation was “pre-planned.” Really? How often do you take a vacation that starts in the middle of the week?

I love Mark Levin.
He posts FREE podcasts of his weekday radio shows by about 10pm EST on his website:

The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses. – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Comrade Lenin is very proud of CNN. CNN reporters should look up the term – apparatchik.
OhEssYouCowboys on April 17, 2009 at 2:11 PM
I just got his new book. So far, it is excellent.
ladyingray on April 17, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Incidentally, I e-mailed CNN to that effect.
OhEssYouCowboys on April 17, 2009 at 2:12 PM
We enjoy Levin’s new book.

Roesgen illustrates the prime example of the Obama apparent apparatchik chick. How much wood does she chuck?
maverick muse on April 17, 2009 at 2:16 PM
That’s hilarious that she applied to Fox twice

Heard this live yesterday. Levin is great!
Thanks for posting this Allah.

The best tea party sign I’ve seen: I spent my tax rebate making this sign.
BohicaTwentyTwo on April 17, 2009 at 2:22 PM
Another “Joe The Plumber” is born. Now we have “Norm The Patriot”!! We need to get millions more. Good to have Levin as one of the lead dogs.
Dire Straits on April 17, 2009 at 2:22 PM
I never liked Levin until now…his voice was a bit over the top for me. I didn’t know what he even looked like…I just thought he was a sort of squealy guy.
Then, I actually saw him on tv. The voice fit the body…and I was impressed by his knowledge and love of the founders and our early documents. I haven’t read his book but I am getting it this weekend. Can’t wait.
Mommypundit on April 17, 2009 at 2:24 PM
And I bet Levin feels a wonderful sense of pride that Norm mentioned reading Liberty and Tyranny and said it inspired him to stand up, fight so that our veterans can come home to the country they left.
carbon_footprint on April 17, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Love listening to Levin. Great read meat at the end of the day.
jencab on April 17, 2009 at 2:26 PM
I am stunned that Howard Kurtz did not take the opportunity to spare a few column inches in his WaPo piece yesterday for a well-deserved chastisement of the bullying, juvenile, low-brow, arrogant and derisive behavior displayed by some of the MSM on Wednesday. It’s their political coffin they’re nailing shut, as they alienate half a million Americans who attended tea parties, and millions more who could not attend but are sympathetic to the cause.

Has anyone seen Roesgen since this happened?
frankj on April 17, 2009 at 2:27 PM
she says in the video that she can’t go on with him or something because this is “family viewing”, yet all over CNN, MSNBC, ETC. is teabgging this, and teabagging that. had i been there i know for a fact i could not have controlled myself and i would have hit her on the head with whatever sign i had or could get my hands on.
Ghoul aid on April 17, 2009 at 2:28 PM
Yeah, Norm better have his ducks in a row…You don’t suppose the State of Illinois is already crawling up his ass looking for something?
And if they do find anything…HELLO CNN!!!
BigWyo on April 17, 2009 at 2:28 PM
The only thing that would have made this thing more enjoyable is if that precious little baby would have reached over and slapped that woman.
I wonder if CNN is enjoying this coverage or lamenting it? Obviously Fox has taken full advantage of it.

Norm the Patriot sounds good…I like this guy a lot. He reminds me of my husband. Incidentally, here is my husband on the news at our rally. There were over 1000 people there but the news said it registered at 3000. AWESOME.

HomeoftheBrave on April 17, 2009 at 2:33 PM
Notably, it explains progressive socialism regardless of “partisanship” as progressives coagulate and assimilate.
The same phenomena occurs with conservatives, regardless of “partisan” designation. Our assimilation to protect the Constitution threatens the progressive deconstruction of our mutual foundation.
Conservatives have leniently tolerated the radical leftists (someone’s children) hiding under the corrupted banner of “liberal” while progressively performing terrorist acts for a national coup. Conservatives no longer excuse the parasitic nature of intolerant progressives, aka Socialists. “Someone’s children” have aged without maturing; most who vote “progressive” are still DEPENDENTS on mom, dad, and Uncle Sam. Flip-floppers are self deluded. So-called “populists” who jump on the nearest bandwagon are confused. Conservatives are not confused.
Obama, standing on quicksand, referenced his own rock.

You make an excellent point. I’m sure they are being called off the Alaskan mission and are on their way to the “Windy City” to give “Norm The Patriot” a full rectal exam as we speak.
Dire Straits on April 17, 2009 at 2:40 PM
Susan Roesgen is kinda hot, but dumber than a box of hammers.
I’d say, “I’d hit that”, but the only way I would is with a 2 X 4.
UltimateBob on April 17, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Roesgen was lucky that the guy WAS holding his two-year-old. He is a lot taller than she is, and it would not be in her interest to get him PO’d if he had both hands free.
Roesgen also missed the point: the Tea Parties weren’t about CURRENT taxes, which were voted in under the Bush Administration. There about all the FUTURE taxes we’ll need to pay off the deficits, that Obama has QUADRUPLED since the last Bush year, which was double that in 2007.
Also interesting, she handed the interview to Kiran Chetry, who used to work for Fox News. Strangely enough, ex-CNN Greta Van Susteren has been rather critical of Obama and friendly toward Sarah Palin. It’s not the reporters, it’s the management.
CNN reporting 101: insert forefingers in ears, shout liberal spin, blame Fox News.
Fox News reporting: Get the facts, clean up on the ratings.
They both report, you decide.
Steve Z on April 17, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Or puked on her.
baldilocks on April 17, 2009 at 2:48 PM
Great job, Allahpundit, “this is now.”
According to Fox News Source
A “that was then” follow-up leak from FOX archives would bring such a stimulus bonus check from traffic.
…not to mention every HotAir reference from the Limbaugh show, designated as relevant by the MSM.
Congratulations on a great job, Allahpundit.
maverick muse on April 17, 2009 at 2:50 PM
With all of that hairspray, an errant asteroid hasn’t a chance of knocking some sense into her.
OhEssYouCowboys on April 17, 2009 at 2:50 PM
Michelle was a big hit at the Dallas Tea Party. She called in and spoke to us via a cell phone held up to the microphone. She got a lot of love from our emcee Mark Davis of WBAP as well.

No way do I affirm, BTW, the USC Annenberg scientific study of 13 people ASSESSMENT (as Napolitano would have it) reporting that it takes 17 seconds to formulate an emotional response to a message.

Wasn’t Roesgen’s hair style so 80′s? What is up with short hair and liberal women?

Protester: “Obama is violating the spirit of Lincoln, whom he allegedly takes after, by violating the rights of ownership, self-determination and the free market system.”

You’re right. Norm and the rest of us are the future of the Republic.
FlyoverJ-HawkFan on April 17, 2009 at 3:03 PM
I imagine that she picked him because he looked safe. Then somehow when the crowd reacted to her verbal violence she felt threatened and had to send it back to CNN before the audience exposed her.
I think it interesting that she applied to FOX twice… they showed good sense when they didn’t hire her.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 3:03 PM
haha. Thanks.
I’ll keep an eye out for the nutty types. :o)
Mommypundit on April 17, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Who was that old dude interrupting Norm going “sir, sir, sir…” that annoys me everytime I see it.
Norm is just an average guy who is worried in his gut about the runaway spending. He is not a scholar or a seasoned, slick politician so he may not get his message out as effectively as a Mark Levin (Levin knows when to show anger and when not to) but he also didn’t fall for the whole bribe talk that CNN reporter threw at him.
Though one thing to Norm, it’s the 10th amendment you’re referring to, not the 12th. Libeals will use that irrelevant slip as a distraction.

d1carter on April 17, 2009 at 3:27 PM
I don’t think many people in the media expected three hundred thousand people to show up for those Tea Parties. They already had their stories written – remember some of the MSM commentators were filing stories at nine or ten in the morning. These were supposed to be pitiful little gatherings of easily-dismissed malcontents. The media action line for this weekend was supposed to be how the fizzled Tea Party movement proves how irresistibly popular Obama is. Liberals of my acquaintance were swaggering around Wednesday morning, making jokes about how silly the Tea Parties were… then they saw the crowds on TV, and it left them stunned. They had no idea how to process it.
Naturally, the only ideologically acceptable way to rewrite the action line is to assert the Tea Party crowd is still a bunch of knuckle-dragging racist loons, but now the size of their demonstration is cause for alarm, instead of derision. They weren’t wrong about how big the movement is… they were wrong about how bad it is. The now-infamous party apparchik from CNN was making this adjustment in real time.
Beneath the usual layer of biases and class resentment that animates most of the liberal media, the Tea Party story makes them very, very nervous. It’s almost palpable when you watch any of the usual suspects talking about it. There are six words that absolutely terrify liberal reports and news anchors: The Failed Presidency Of Barack Obama. They had a fire sale on their credibility to get him elected, and they realize that even though they retain a tremendous amount of influence over the political culture, the one thing they have completely lost control of is The Memory Hole. The greatest achievement of the blogging revolution, the one that truly changed the political landscape, was permanently removing the Left’s ability to airbrush inconvenient people out of photographs, and burn embarrassing commentary out of the public record. The Memory Hole has been blocked with a million megabytes of blog posts.
If the man they worked so hard to put in the White House – the man they mortgaged so much of their souls to support – turns into an epic Carter-scale disaster, it will not only set their ideology back a generation, as Carter did. It will be a death blow to a media economy that is already reeling from a cataclysmic loss of customers and prestige.
When you’re watching the flagship liberal papers flirt with bankruptcy, and “Faux News” is cleaning your clock in the ratings, and your much-hyped liberal radio network is already an asterisk in the pages of broadcast history, it is very frightening to see three hundred thousand people turn out – on a work day – to denounce the political and spiritual leader you pulled out all the stops to get elected, only a few months ago. And all of those reporters and liberal commentators know, deep down, that this is as good as it gets for Barack Obama. When the 2010 Tea Parties roll around, those people are really going to have something to be angry about. What they did in 2008 will not be forgiven, and what makes them feel sick to their stomachs is the knowledge that it can no longer be conveniently forgotten.
Doctor Zero on April 17, 2009 at 3:28 PM
The arrogant elite think they can bully the masses into their way of thinking. The tea parties show there are many Americans that will not put up with their insolence.
docdave on April 17, 2009 at 3:32 PM

I had to laugh at Roesgen. Yea, so the government takes tens of thousands of dollars from me per year and I should be grateful that it gives me back $400 this year, in drips of $8 per week or whatever it is? I’d love to run that deal on Roesgen every year. Hey, you give me tens of thousands and I’ll gladly give you $400 back.
Dipstick liberal tool.

Now Henry Waxman and the 20% carbon cap. It’s just too late in the day on a Friday. It’s finally 70º where I live and I just can’t even think about it anymore today. I have to give myself a rest.

At that very same Tea Party – I was there – someone was holding up Mark Levin’s book like others were holding up posters. Note to Allah, I think quite a few people there were fans of “the Boss” and of Glenn.

She probably really is taking a vacation. It’s not like CNN is going to fire her for being an unprofessional left wing media hack, that’s probably how she got the job in the first place. And if they made a habit of firing people for that reason CNN would be out of business.

Of course she won’t get fired by CNN. In fact, she will likely get a promotion.
Remember, this is CNN, whose lead “journalist” was a history major. And she never studied journalism either-she was an English major at Montana State.
Del Dolemonte on April 17, 2009 at 5:24 PM
I hope and pray nothing happens to Norm and his family…he was interviewed at Cavuto’s and he is nervous about all this, and with good reason!
If harm comes to that family, she better disappear from the face of the Earth. Being medicated can do so much.
ProudPalinFan on April 17, 2009 at 5:30 PM
The MSM has been gradually losing it’s credibility and it’s audience over the years. It’s been a sort of “drip, drip, drip” type of thing, where you don’t see their ratings dropping off overnight, but over an extended period of time. The tea parties are a perfect example of something that forces the MSM to alienate even more people.
They’ve never had to deal with significant conservative protests before. The more they treat these protests with dismissive contempt, the more their sympathetic coverage of left wing protests will be obvious to ordinary people. The more well behaved the tea party protestors are, the more reluctant the MSM will be to show left wing protestors behaving like animals at their protests, which they never hesistated to do before, as they tried to project to their viewers that “these people are angry, they have a right to be angry, you should be angry too”.
The MSM didn’t want to have to go after Sarah Palin with both guns blazing. They would have preferred to go after a pasty old White guy, as opposed to a young, attractive, likeable, humbly middle class politician who got into politics for all the right reason. But they had no choice. They had to go after Palin, and yes, they did damage to her, but they did plenty of damage to themselves in the process, especially with women.
Instead of complaining about liberal bias, conservatives have to think of ways to force the MSM to show their bias in ways that they never showed it before, in ways that they wish they didn’t have to show it. But they’ll show it, if they’re backed against the wall, and they’ll do more damage to themselves in the process. We need to be “the masters” of liberal media bias. We need to dictate how, when and where they display their bias.
Sarah Palin and the tea parties are textbook examples of how we can erode the MSM’s power even further. But don’t look for the results to happen overnight. Just keep listening for the “drip, drip, drip” of lower ratings and reduced stock value.
ardenenoch on April 17, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Something for AP or Michelle to look into:
I followed the link about Roesgen going on vacation. There is a video there that is the same as the video above except that it has 1:30 before getting to what is in the video above. Before interviewing the man in the above video, she interviews a guy who calls Obama a facist. He has a large picture of Obama looking like Hitler. Someone should try to find out if he was one of the fake conservative infiltrators from ACORN. He was holding the only professional looking sign that I saw in the video. He was also wearing sunglasses and some kind of a bright orange jacket or sweatshirt (to make him easily recognizable for Roesgen?)
I know the libs will accuse me of profiling, but the guy in the other video really seems to fit the profile of the ACORN infiltrators.
Ordinary American on April 17, 2009 at 6:22 PM
I think that’s a good idea.
I mean, I don’t disagree that he is acting quite, well, fascistic. haha. But, it would blow the lid off if this guy was a plant.
email MM.
Mommypundit on April 17, 2009 at 7:10 PM
She reminded me of a bottle-frosted Blagojevich. (Is it necessary to have shellacked hair in the Windy City?)
What galls me most is that the interviewer acts as if the $50 million? billion? headed toward the Land of Lincoln is a gift of manna, not an IOU debited to the tax payers.
(And that child is precious if no one else has noted. Norm appears to be a great dad and a committed citizen.)
onlineanalyst on April 17, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Doctor Zero: I’ve been using those words for some time now over at Scrappleface. The reaction from that site’s resident trolls amuses me to no end. I suggest that we use the expression as often as possible so that search engines will pull up those key words.
onlineanalyst on April 17, 2009 at 7:30 PM
The telling thing about this whole incident is how comfortable she was behaving this way. It’s not news to anyone here, but it just shows the group think bubble that most journalists live in.

Well earlier I called Norm an idiot for bringing his baby to the protest and I still think he was wrong to do so….but listening to his phone call on that video I think he’s otherwise a swell guy, the voice of reason and what should well be the voice of America. His sense of life is exactly what liberals are trying to eradicate from this country.
Therefore, it’s only a matter of time before the liberal scum in the media find out all of his personal details and lynch him a la Joe the Plumber.
Sharke on April 18, 2009 at 1:26 AM
Probably smaller than you think since we tea party goers don’t let bloggers tell us what a story/issue does and does not consist of.
BTW – anyone heard anything else on Joe Biden’s coke whore daughter? No? Well you can give an assist to Hot Air on that one – helping the media spike yet another story that is embarrassing to Democrats.

OMG – they’re trying to re-write this as if she’s a victim. Amazing.
All you have to do is listen to her first sentence and hear how she frames the event. Ordinary American might be right about the first guy being a plant. Her comments and this guy just fit too perfectly.
As for Norm – she picked him because she knew the child would split his attention. He rambled, but so does every protester on left.
Dr. Evil – you must listen to a lot of Rush. You use identical terminology and sentence structure.
And for the love of God – stop trying to tie Palin to this. How can you not see that totally undermines the authenticity of the movement and writes the MSM storyline?

Thank you Norm. A man who cares, and is willing to take time off, to express his love for your country and to help find a cure for what ails it, while still putting family first.
Mr. Lavin, also thank you for a great book that will stay on the prime position of my bookshelf so visitors can not miss it. It will also stay on the Best Seller list for years, because the truth sells, smut smells.
Ms Roesgen is not available for comment because she’s with Grafafilo, waiting for their next Obama fix in LALA land (ludicrous libelous liberals lacking lithium or LSD looking for a lobotomy).
