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.

James Carville (DNC): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy

Admittedly there is a huge percentage of Americans who NEVER watch the news and who NEVER follow anything political; but elsewise, just try to find anyone of any political persuasion who intends to vote for Barack Obama next time, and you'll have difficulty finding anyone among your liberal and/or moderate acquaintances who happened to jump on that Hopey-Changey Bandwagon last time around.

And they can't damage the Tea Party -- what are they going to target?? Tea Party is a grassroots moving target which will constantly elude any of their deluded attacks upon it. AND it's pretty ludicrous they choose to attack the very people - AMERICANS - whom they so much which to govern. LOL

They have no clue. The Tea Party is not the real power of anything. It is the American people. I hope the Clintonistas continue their war on the Tea Party.

The Democrats have no idea what is happening in America right now.

"Spinning changed to out right lies, crude, rude, and hatefulness increased."

Spinning hasn't changed! Spinning in any form is outright lying. It's practice by someone should be identified as such every time it raises its ugly head!

This is precisely why the Tea Party movement should remain decentralized grassroots. Less of an obvious target to pursue.

It won't work ... Here's why: The Patriot's Flag

Alinksy's stuff doeesn't work on a "populist" movement.

The Tea Party movement has to be prepared for these attacks and to develop countermeasures. But they should not constantly be on defense. Each Tea Party organization should focus on the following:
  1. identify the enemy
  2. determine their tactics
  3. devise and apply counter strategies to the enemies tactics
  4. go back on the offensive

The lamestream will try to destroy us and the Dems will eventually infiltrate with phoney tea party "racists" if they haven't done so already.

The New York Times three-pager front-page story on Tuesday tried to do it with photos while their text puts on a mask of innocence. Picture of tea partiers: all men with gray hair, some obviously veterans. Message: It's a movement of old folks, mostly those dangerous veterans. Picture of mixed-race woman: caption says she's afraid to go to tea parties unless she's with a large group.

The NYT has their audience pegged: people who look at the nice color pictures and read the captions because it's easy. They do much more damage with their photos and captions now than with their text.

+++++ It may at first seem odd that Clinton would rush to Obama defense ++++

Odd?? “They” (D.C./Eastern Beltway big time lobby), has had control all along. What went on in that little meeting in Boxer’s home before the election? What do you think this Steal-Care is all about? One of the main reasons she was NOT elected was her pushing the HC mandates, YET the push for so called “HC’, for over a year now AFTER the election still goes on....AND WHY? It’s not really “she”, it’s the whole inside “banking”, Lieberman/Insurance lobby where there is an inverse correlation between the stock market falling and insurance rates pushing of upwards 33% higher. They want the shackles on every US citizen desperately, to bail out the loses in the pensions invested in “insurance” which invested the pension money in an economy on the brink. Who do you think FRAMES the so called “healthcare” legislation all along?

Another tactic that the DNC, Obama and Clinton are planning to use during the Midterms is the usual “Republicans threaten Social Security and Medicare funding” tact. They are going to point to what Chris Kristy does in New Jersey and spin it in a very negative light (E.G. Republicans hate poor people, minorities, and the elderly; and only like big business.)

Expect lots of very negative news stories out of NJ over the next couple of months over Kristy’s cuts, and expect them to use these to attack Republicans nationwide.

Oh and it is Rham “Dead Fish” Emmanual and the head of the DNC who are going to do the attacks, using the Clintons as cover.

“...If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement.”

True Patriots don't “turn”, they just fight harder.

Would Washington have “turned”? This proves how out of touch the Clintonian elitists are with the average American citizen and how little they understand about the Tea Party movement.

Carville and Clinton need only hold up a mirror to see who their own worst enemy is. AMERICA HAS REJECTED THE ANTI-AMERICAN MARXIST AGENDA WHICH IS ON SUCH A DESTRUCTIVE PATH AND AMERICA WANTS FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND SMALL GOVERNMENT. AMERICA WANTS FISCAL RESPONSIBLITY AS WELL AS A STRONG MILITARY AND ADHERENCE TO OUR CONSTITUTION. LAST OF ALL...AMERICA WANTS JOBS AND NOT GREEN ONES!!! WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

We’ll need to bring the Downside Legacy files back to the front page....there is so much dirt on the ‘toons.

True. The Clintoons have many "Corpse Men" in their past.
