The Stupidity, It Burns! NPR Interview with Tea Party Activist from Tea Party Patriots [View all]

Did anybody else catch this interview this morning on NPR?



A Tea Party congressman is in the spotlight for confronting a park ranger at the closed World War II memorial this week, saying the ranger should be ashamed (...).

We hear from a Tea Party organizer who asks, if furloughed government workers are considered non-essential, why do we need them at all?

She wants Democrats to negotiate with Republicans to re-open the government, and she wants Republicans to hold firm on delaying or defunding the Affordable Care Act.

Guest: Diana Reimer, national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots.


Listen at link: (6 mins, 16 secs) (I'll try to find a written transcript, too)

Make sure to listen toward the end, when the two discuss non-essential Federal workers.



This is who we're dealing with, folks!
