GOPers Demand Sean Duffy Salary Tape Be Pulled From The Internet (VIDEO)

[proud2BlibKansan]

First the Republican Party in Polk County, Wisconsin, pulled the tape of Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) fretting about making ends meet on his $174,000 a year salary from its own website. Now they want it gone from the whole Internet.

For a couple hours, the local county GOP was successful. But we've put an excerpt of the video back up.

A day after TPM posted the video we obtained of Duffy talking about his salary at a Polk County town hall meeting earlier this year, the Polk County GOP contacted the video provider we used to host the video, Blip.tv, and demanded the video be taken down.

The tape caused a stir for Duffy, a first-term conservative best known for his past as a reality TV show star on MTV's The Real World. Democrats flagged the comments about his taxpayer-funded salary (which is nearly three times the median income in Wisconsin) and criticisms began to flow Duffy's way.

8. Hearing him say it is even worse than reading about it. He comes across as a

used-car salesman, oblivious to the age & wisdom of his audience who know better than what he's trying to sell them. $174,000/yr. & he's struggling? He's being paid three times the amount of those whose salaries are being cut & that's outrageous.
