Topic: Toby Marie Walker

An NPR segment featuring Toby Marie Walker of the Waco Tea Party is analyzed. The hosts argue that NPR intentionally brings on "cranks" to marginalize the movement, while Walker attempts to keep the focus on constitutionally limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility.

The hosts highlight a conflict in the NPR interview where Brian Fisher claims Tea Party leaders support his social values, despite Toby Marie Walker stating the movement avoids divisive social issues. They describe Fisher's tactics as "classic Marxist style co-opting" and "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" (NLP) intended to redefine the movement's goals.
