Rush Limbaugh called upon members of the tea party to show "worthless, lazy kids" how it's done and clean up Zuccotti Park in New York City after the owners of the property caved on their demand that Occupy Wall Street protesters leave the area so sanitation workers could enter.
“The tea party ought to go down there with mops and brooms,” Limbaugh said on his radio show today. He questioned the media’s hype of the protesters living in “self-created squalor.”
Limbaugh also described the protesters as clueless.
The park’s owners, as well as Mayor Michael Bloomberg, reversed their decisions to evacuate the area, and the protesters managed a hurried clean-up.
Limbaugh played sound bites of some of the protesters touting a single-payer healthcare system, and said others have gone on the record saying Cuba has the best medical care in the Western Hemisphere. “Kook fringe,” he said.
