BILL MOYERS: Tea Party Organizer ( DICK ARMEY) Is EPITOME Of PRIVILEGE ( Video)

[Segami]

Do as I say and NOT AS I DO!



This exclusive clip is from the latest episode of "Bill Moyers Journal," which airs tonight. In the episode, Moyers goes after FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey -- one of the key figures using large industry donations to fund "Tea Party" rallies around the country, such as the the 9/12 march in Washington DC last week.


"Here's the catch," Moyers says after showing video clips with protesters decrying "the lies" coming from the Obama administration. "Something these marchers who came to Washington at Armey's urging could hardly be expected to know. For most of his adult life, their leader has benefited from just the kind of government tax-supported health care he's fighting to keep them from having too."


It's a fascinating run down of Armey's adult life working in universities and for the government, made comfortable and secure by state-funded health care -- "the Cadillac of coverage."


"Dick Armey is the epitome of those people with power and privilege who are insured against the vicissitudes of life and want no government assistance for any suffering except their own," Moyers says.

1. I'm watching the Journal

The Death of Conservatism discussion is on now.
Digging deep into the roots and evolution of the American conservative movement, Sam Tanenhaus talks with Bill Moyers about why he believes that conservatism is dead and how it might yet come back to life.

4. Dick Armey, Ward of the State

I read that somewhere, perhaps in an Al Franken book, and it's what I say and think every time that little dipshit's name is brought up.

5. Grifters like Armey have perfected the art of corralling the mindless into marching when

a call to arms is launched by them. Their trumpet call now is against health care reform for all.
