Clinton Plotting Tea Party Counterattack
BigGovernment ^ | Feb 17, 2010 | Capitol Confidential

Posted on 02/18/2010 1:15:31 AM PST by MestaMachine

Snip
Then, Scott Brown won election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. No one is laughing anymore. In fact, Democrats are facing political annihilation this November. Not only do Democrats face the possibility of losing their congressional majorities, massive losses in state house races could jeopardize redistricting next year and set back the progressive agenda for at least a decade.

So, the Clinton Empire is planning to strike back.

Big Government has learned that Clintonistas are plotting a “push/pull” strategy. They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign. (Has MSNBC already been notified?)

Big Government has also learned that James Carville will head up the effort.

Obviously, there is no love lost between Obama and the Clinton machine. It may at first seem odd that Clinton would rush to Obama’s defense, but the tea party movement poses a threat far beyond the immediate goals of the Obama Administration.

The tea party movement could evolve into a new political realignment, one founded on a belief in limited government and less government interference in the economy. The Progressive agenda, which has been painstakingly built up over the last three decades, could be left in tatters.

As the Clinton’s know, “politics ain’t beanbag.” Expect the counterattack soon. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

"It is like attacking a shadow."

They know that. That is why they are going out of their way to "establish" Tea Party leaders anyway [note Juan Williams on Fox calling Palin the "leader" of the Tea Party, despite her prior rejection of any such interest.]

It is an Alinsky "Rules For Radicals" tactic: They need to establish Tea Party leader(s) in the public mind, even if they do not exist, so they can undermine the Tea Party by destroying the reputation of these specific people.

Yes... but this time, spinning will be truth - by the Tea Party! No more spinning by either party (both are awful - just one is more awful than the other). It’s time that politicians listen to the people for a change! If not this time, it will be past my time - but I am passing on to my son.

Like you, I am retired but am enraged by this Congress and this President. It’s really time for us to take back power that they seem to take as their right.

It will be “conservatives” like mxain that will carry this water.
It has already begun as a low buzz. We need to be vigilant...even more than we have been.

Hey you get it. Alinsky does not work without a figurehed to Deamonize. It also does not work too well once they are in power. Hard to say America Sucks when they are in charge.

Is that the “Blue Dress Clinton” or the “ I was running under sniper-fire” Clinton? Who cares about what a Klintoon has to say anyways. They’re has-beens.

Nice of you to reply...but who the heck is Mxain and who the heck are you to sign on today then respond to this thread?

I really suspect a cool fellow like Brugmansian (Are you the same fellow?)...

Anybody with half a brain knew a smear attack would be coming from somewhere.
The first to be hit will probably be Tea Party convention organizer Judson Phillips. Opportunists like the Clinton machine hate other opportunists.
And for the 50 or so "leaders of the grass-roots tea party movement" who recently met with Michael Steele...that wasn't the paparazzi out front taking your pictures.

yep, and I don’t know why it would be such a surprise to anyone that it would come from clintonistas...who are so ensconced in this administration you can hardly tell one from the other.

Sorry, not interested in replying to a newbie with no credentials. You are suspect until further notice. Until then, carry on - but don’t reply to me. I don’t respect you or want your response - so go away.

Besides, the smearing, the blame game and guilt by association tactic has already started.
You have "self proclaimed" leaders.
TPM Trumpets Racist Rebuffed by Tea Party Groups as 'Prominent' 'Leader'
The liberal website Talking Points Memo continues to report on a bigoted individual who speciously claims to represent 6 million members of the Tea Party movement as a "leader."
In fact, he doesn't represent anyone but himself.
