Axelrod calls Tea Parties 'unhealthy.'
CNN Political Ticker ^ | 4/19/2009 | CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

Posted on 04/20/2009 7:02:54 AM PDT by SeattleBruce

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Senior White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday suggested the "Tea Party" movement is an "unhealthy" reaction to the tough economic climate facing the country.

Axelrod was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" about the "spreading and very public disaffection" with the president's fiscal policies seen at the "Tea Party" rallies around the country last week.

Too bad, so sad.

They’re going to continue. Most people do not agree with Biden’s view that paying taxes is patriotic.

Axelrod knows........dissent in the street is power, look at the gay agenda to see that.

Agree with them or not a very small minority makes a hell of a lot of noise, people notice them because they are not afraid to stand up and their issues are then adressed

Now if the American public in general starts to RE-Learn this, the fascist are done for.... and none too soon.

What is really unhealthy is Flapears becoming president when he does not have a birth certificate.

So, to Mr. Axelrod and other dems, this is unhealthy:

But this is a patriotic display of dissent.

Protests are part of American history. Nothing unhealthy about people getting out and protesting.

What is unhealthy is Obama cutting the national defense budget 10%-25%; pushing for a much larger bureaucracy and huge increases in welfare state spending; positioning their policy for future tax increases; pushing aside right to life policy in favor of abortion on demand and shoving liberal immigration reform and amnesty down the throats of the people one more time.

Lets not forget to mention continued government intervention in the private sector, with more and more regulations piled on US businesses. Along with wacko environmental energy policies and increased government intrusions into public education.

I'd say Obama and his cronies like Axelrod are unhealthy for America's future.

I’d bet there were no flags burned at the Tea Parties.

We already have 8 additional Tea Parties planned between now and the 2010 election here in WA State - they’re about 2.5 months apart - I think we need to focus on the state capitals and DC - and then sprinkle in all the other sites (which is great) - but getting a big demo in the state capitals gets broad headlines. Enough headlines (across all media - forget about the captive MSM) and we can’t be ignored any longer.

We’re also pressing the initiative process here - with numbers of anti tax and spend measures - as the political process here has otherwise been co-opted by the liberal social engineers.

I also don’t rule out supporting Republicans who are fiscal conservatives, but let’s oppose all Rs and Ds (way worse) who are RINOs or big spenders (maybe a few Ds will survive that test?)

We’ve only begun to fight!

Plenty of flags though - none on fire! I did see some smoke coming out of some ears though. Just good ol’ fashioned patriotic American anger though!

What’s “unhealthy” is a corrupt Socialist Democrat Press lying to their readers and viewers, to push their perverted death cult agenda.

Maybe Axelrod needs to lean on Congress, so that when peons like us write to our representatives, we don’t get insulting form letters in return instructing us that neither he/she nor the rest of our overlords consider our concern valid.

Yeah, the massive democrap pig from NJ made that accusation. Won’t hear from Jerald now ‘cause his criminal enterprise is now in charge. Democrats have made politics something septic, not just mean. But what would we expect from dead souls who’ve used the slaughter of tens-of-millions of alive unborn as a means to empower their political capital?

Isn’t that what mob bosses say when they want to warn a ‘foe’...”What you are doing is ‘unhealthy’”?

Sounds like a threat to me...LOL
