Sheryl Crow: Tea Partiers are too ‘Uneducated’ to ‘Understand What’s Happening on Wall Street’ By Alana Goodman Created 06/28/2010 - 16:39 Pop-star and courageous anti-toilet-paper crusader [0] Sheryl Crow apparently has a new political concern: Tea Partiers.
The country crooner told CBS journalist Katie Couric that Tea Party members are uneducated, angry and potentially dangerous in an interview [1] with Glamour magazine this June.
After Crow complained in the interview that Americans have become too blasé about politics, and that nobody has taken to the streets to cause "a riot or a revolution," Couric correctly pointed to the Tea Party as an example of modern day activism.
"What do you think of the Tea Party movement? Because that is the specific sort of group of people who would say we're out there, we're getting involved in the process...," asked Couric.
"I appreciate the fact that those people are out there and that they are fired up," responded Crow, before adding that Tea Partiers "haven't educated themselves...they're just pissed off."
"My main concern is that [the Tea Party is] really fear-based," said Crow, a cancer survivor and environmental activist. "What's coming out of the Tea Party most often, especially if you go onto YouTube, and you see some of the interviews with these people who really don't even know what the issues are, they're just swept up in the fear of it and the anger of it."
"They're not sure what they're angry at," Crow continued. "[T]hey don't understand what's happening on Wall Street."
The singer also worried that the "uneducated" and "angry" Tea Partiers could even become dangerous. "[K]nowledge is power, and anything less than that when it comes to anger can be dangerous," said Crow.
But before she snubbed the education level of Tea Partiers again, maybe Crow should have checked out this New York Times poll [2], which found Tea Party members to be "more educated than the general public."
The Grammy-award winning songstress could also serve to learn a thing or two from the Tea Partiers - in the past she's come under fire for her own bone-headed remarks. In 2007, Crow was mocked across the political spectrum for suggesting in a Huffington Post column [3] that people should use "only one square [of toilet paper] per restroom visit" in order to conserve trees.
Other ideas in Crow's 2007 column included using a reusable "dining sleeve" instead of a dinner napkin, and a creating a "greenest lifestyle" contest for aspiring musicians.
Crow later backed away [3] from her statements, claiming they were merely brilliant satire written in order to bring attention to the dire threat of climate change.
Later in her June Glamour magazine interview with Couric, Crow slammed Karl Rove and other conservatives for harping on her toilet paper idea. She claimed this was done "[j]ust to discredit me and to make me look silly."
This former NASA engineer is a Tea Partier.
Maybe so Sheryl, but we still get to vote.
What makes stupid liberals think that all the smart people are democrats... when the vast majority of democrats are high school drop outs that live in public housing on the welfare rolls.
They themselves can us the heartless rich... ok so in some warp alternate universe... the rich educated people are stupid and the welfare mom living in public housing is an unknown genius.
Yeah, and I guess the Left never tries to scare us, do they, Sheryl? It's not like you CommieLibs ever predicted "blood in the streets" if concealed weapons permits became the norm, right dingy? Or that the polar ice caps would be melted and the coastline flooded by 2005 unless we got control of gloBULL warming and closed the ozone hole, and all the rest of your eco-nut bulls**t?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
What Crow thinks (plus fifty cents) will buy me a cup of coffee.....
Oh, so SHE’S a brain surgeon now?
said the silly cow who's lucky if she can spell WALL STREET...
I'd bet she can't match a 10th of what is on my dd214
I promise I won't mention my bachelors degree.....
or
the masters degree.... or the fact that she is an idiot
Promise!
The country crooner told CBS journalist Katie Couric...there's some hard-hitting journalism -- CBS hired Katie Couric to interview experts on finance like Sheryl Crow.
And you are too stupid to realize that your natural rights are being violated and free society and just government is being assaulted.
Sherly Crow—a one sheet wonder”
And a true 2 bagger if you spend any time with her!!!
No wonder Lance Armstrong dumped her.
No matter how good the sex is- sooner or later, one has to have some conversation & predict that she came up lame for attempting conversation.
Hey Sheryl! Go to an Obama rally and survey how many there are ‘educated’ about Wall Street, then get back to me, k? Thanks, hon.
Crow was in the FFA?
That group must be trying to dis-associate themselves over that!!!
I cannot see her raising any animal.
Gads, and she graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia at that.
Shut up! You are an embarrassment!
Friends of ours were recently at a 50th wedding anniversary dinner. A lawyer brother-in-law ranted about how stupid Republicans are. They said he was loud and didn’t care who heard him.
Someone got into it with him, but he was arrogant and thought he knew everything...
Hey Crow, “eat crow”.
I have been browsing properties in SW Tennessee & I have seen plenty of properties in the 150 acres range which have nice homes, outbuildings, fenced & cross fenced, live water & ponds.
Nothing was anywhere near $7.5 million.
If Crow has been in that house for any length of time, it might take as much as $2 million just to properly fumigate it.
She’s caught Dixie Chicks Disease. Hey Cheryl, it’s terminal to careers.
