Liberals attempted to dismiss the video of Santelli's call to fiscal responsibility as a "rant". <ref>http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/towerticker/2009/02/rick-santelli-on-his-cnbc-mortgagebailout-rant-we-really-really-tapped-into-a-nerve.html</ref> However, the video "caught fire" on the internet and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was forced to respond. <ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/19083.html</ref>
