Say "Good Night," David

The good folks at FAIR found this exchange about Occupy Wall Street between Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and ABC news hack David Gregory:
GREGORY: ... Is demonizing Wall Street the way to create an environment...

EMANUEL: Well...

GREGORY: ...to get the banks to hire?

EMANUEL: The--it's not...

GREGORY: Is this not a reverse tea party tactic?

It doesn't get any more coherent from there. So high unemployment in the US is simply because the banks aren't hiring? Or at least, David Gregory thinks so? And if the rabble were nice to the banks instead of demonizing them, the banks would hire more? And what does "reverse tea party" mean here? The professionalism of the corporate media never ceases to dazzle me.
