I Spoke At The University Of Georgia, And A Whole Contingent Of Tea Party People In Hell's Angels Regalia Came In And Sat In The Front And Scowled At Me While I Gave My Talk. And Afterwards The Head Of The Group Got To The Microphone And Said, I'm Surprised That I Agree With Almost Everything You Said, But I'm Worried That You're A Big Government Guy.

Who's The Big Government Guy? These Labels Are Nonsense. And The Tea Party, If You Want To Call Them Working Class, You Know, A Working-class Insurgency From Below, They Are A Mass Of Contradictions; They Don't Have A Single Consistent Viewpoint; But Part Of Their Impulse Is To Be Wary Of Government.

I'm Wary Of Government. Part Of [the Tea Party] Impulse Is To Dislike And Be Worried About The Rich. I'm That Way Too. So I Don't Find Them To Be As Atrocious As Most People Do, As Your Liberals Do. I'm Not A Liberal.
