Tea Party Comes to Brooklyn - Ep #3

Is the Tea Party a real movement, an actual party or just a bunch of cranks? Well, the party has come to–of all places–Brooklyn. Its leader used to play guitar with members of Nirvana and Sonic Youth–and he’s no fan of Sarah Palin. John Kenneth Press (author of Culturism: A Word, A Value, Our Future) explains why the movement is not extremist, and why Kurt Cobain wouldn’t be a member.
