So Bob Inglis, the Rep from SC that got booted in the primary, did an interview with Mother Jones<\/a>. Now, just why a Republican of any stripe would do an interview with MJ is beyond me, but moving on, there is this little vignette.<\/p>\n

During his primary campaign, Inglis repeatedly encountered enraged conservatives whom he couldn’t\u2014or wouldn’t\u2014satisfy. Shortly before the runoff primary election, Inglis met with about a dozen tea party activists at the modest ranch-style home of one of them. Here’s what took place:<\/p>\n

I sat down, and they said on the back of your Social Security card, there’s a number. That number indicates the bank that bought you when you were born based on a projection of your life’s earnings, and you are collateral. We are all collateral for the banks. I have this look like, “What the heck are you talking about?” I’m trying to hide that look and look clueless. I figured clueless was better than argumentative. So they said, “You don’t know this?! You are a member of Congress, and you don’t know this?!” And I said, “Please forgive me. I’m just ignorant of these things.” And then of course, it turned into something about the Federal Reserve and the Bilderbergers and all that stuff. And now you have the feeling of anti-Semitism here coming in, mixing in. Wow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just to be perfectly clear, yes, I am calling this guy a liar. Now, do I believe that there are some totaly wack jobs out there that buy into this crap? Yes, absolutely. But there is no way you randomly select a dozen tea partiers, and manage to get 12 that happen to believe in Bilderberger bullshit. We get these random fruit loops that show up here from time to time to argue some jackkassery about Ron Paul and\/or what country El Presidente was birthed in. And we call them out on their bullshit.<\/p>\n

I refuse to accept that randomly selected tea partiers are insane. So, prove me wrong Congressman. I’ve been to tea partys in DC (briefly) and IN (as a blogger) and only found 2 people with crazy shit on their signs, and remain convinced that they were plants. There is no way that 12 randomly selected tea parties bought into this anymore than 12 randomly selected democrats in Missouri would espouse claims about UFOs. Not buying it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
