Dem Thinkers On Tea Parties
D
avid Axelrod and James Carville – the bitter cream that has risen to the top of Dem-think – have chosen the safe haven of CBS to say what they think of one million Americans taking to the streets to complain about Obama’s expensive expansion of government.
Axelrod led off the discussion on “Face the Nation” by sounding like he was channeling the recent DHS report on rightwing terrorism:
I think any time you have severe economic conditions there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that’s unhealthy.
Protest taxes and government expansion today, blow up innocent children tomorrow, eh David? No, not exactly. In true liberal fashion, when confronted with the outrageousness of his beliefs, he didn’t stand up for them, but backtracked:
Well, this is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves, and so far these are expressions.
So far?
Carville, when asked by John King if it’s unhealthy – Axelrod’s word – for “an American to go out and hold a sign and say ‘I think my taxes are too high,’” answered correctly, with a “No.” But he wasn’t content to stay there and went on to call the tea party movement “damaging to Republicans.”
Really? One million people go out and exercise their rights of protest, don’t break any windows, don’t yell obscenities at the police, and pick up their trash afterwards and somehow it’s damaging to Republicans? I’d like someone to explain that to me … but not someone dumb enough to say that Obama is cutting taxes for 95 percent of Americans.
Obama lied. Taxpayers cried.
