Hatch on Tea Party: 'I despise these people'

Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch is “doggone offended” by the activists and voters standing between him and re-election, describing them as “radical libertarians.”

Hatch was first elected to the Senate in 1976. This year, major conservative groups announced their intention of defeating Hatch — who they deemed too moderate. FreedomWorks has reportedly spent at least $670,000 attacking Hatch this cycle. ...

“I despise these people,” Hatch added, “and I’m not the guy you come in and dump on without getting punched in the mouth.”
