Axelrod: Protests may not mean much (with video)
politico.com ^ | Sept. 13, 2009

Posted on 09/13/2009 7:22:36 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

President Barack Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, said Sunday conservative protests in Washington are not indicative of the country's mood.

Conservatives have the right to protest, Axelrod said on CBS's "Face the Nation, but "they don’t represent a mainstream view."

In early CBS excerpts from a taped "60 Minutes" interview to air Sunday night, Obama says on the 24-hour news cycle, "the loudest shrillest voices get the most attention."

"One of the things I’m trying to figure out is how can we make sure civility is interesting," Obama said.

Axelrod: Protests may not mean much.

You know, you would be correct Mr Axelrod.

Keep it up idiots. You’ll have every Conservative, Libertarian, and old school democrat pounding down the door the White House. We the People are demanding to be heard. If you won’t listen prepare to lose power. 2010 is not long away at all. Can we spell BACKLASH?

Axelrod is trying to get this country to step back a couple of centuries and accept as doctrine some of the vilest ideas ever proposed.

He just doesn't get it ~ Marxism is a totally discredited idea and has no application in the modern world.

Oh but they do represent the main stream Axel...and you know it. Far more than the far-left that you represent.

Pictures speak for themselves:

Sea change coming in 2010...and you and your admin will be neutered by it, and will then sit on your thumbs until you are sent packing in 2012.

Nobody is calling for violence. Right now, we are still free Americans and they do not have power over our right to vote. They may try to offset it with fraud, but if enough people wake up they can’t steal the thing. 2010 will tell the story.

Let’s just ignore the sleeping dog.

I think the Rats are going to find out the folks at the tea party were MAIN STREET AMERICA and Axelrod and Obama will be unemployeed in 2013 when we take back the Whitehouse.

Remember whatever a Communist says, the opposite is the truth. So, Axelrod is really thinking that the March on Washingtonis going to be a game changer. If it were not important, why mention it? It’s just like how “THEY” acted with Sarah Palin. They tried to belittle and minimized her intelligence, capability, influence, etc. They were WRONG, WRONG, WRONG on every point. They WRONG, WRONG, WRONG on everything they are saying about the September 12 March.

500,000+ people pay their way to D.C. to protest the administration and it doesn’t mean much??

Omama and his people are either living in fantasy land or the take over of America by socialist/communist/statists is a done deal and we are already bound in chains. Take your pick or get ready to lock and load.

As one who attended this event, I too am comfortable with around 500,000. I was part of the first wave that started walking down Penn. Ave. I got to the Capitol and sat on the south lawn for at least 45 minutes before working my way back to Penn Ave. As I walked back on Penn. Ave there were still thousands streaming toward the Capitol. It was amazing!!

The comments about the crowd are right on too. Though people were upset at what Obama’s government is doing, they were civil and well behaved. They also did not trash the place like other Leftist gatherings.

Lastly, the issues on the minds of the crowd were wide spread across the whole political spectrum. Deficits, loss of liberty, healthcare, ACORN, corruption, the banking crisis, abortion, guns, education, defense,. I saw it all! And some of the humor in the signs folks carried was priceless! WHich I had a picture of the one with George Washington addressing the current Congress and saying “WTF?”.

LOL

This goes under the heading, “If you say it enough times then it might come true.”

Trust me, the Dems are smarter than this. What you saw today was for media (and useful idiot) consumption.

You can get one person who hates someone praying in a public place. The ACLU comes out and just because of one or maybe 2 people thousands can’t pray in public anymore. You get a couple of million people come out against something and they brush it off like it was nothing.

I think for the very survival of this nation, the Obama "crazy train" needs to be brought to an immediate stop.

We don't have 4 years.

Here’s a vid of ACORN trying to set up a photo op to make the tea party people look like members of militias... Janet Napalonio said to watch for people with “don’t tread on me” flags. So ACORN had some made up to distribute free. My guess is they might have had an “in” with CNN to make the tea party people look more extreme than they are - but didn’t get the picture. Here’s the link:

That man speaks for me. I could not attend owing to time, expense and distance. But I did put the time to good use. I spent the weekend on the firing line at the local Appleseed. Shot 236. Finally. On to Expert.

Sore and tired, but more confident than ever. The FAL is clean, dialed in and ready for whatever comes my way.

Gotta get these 59 year old bones in better shape. Based upon what transpired in DC this weekend, I think that we do not have much longer before the battle is joined. The decision to ignore or belittle us on the part of the Obamunist regime and their enablers is a mistake that will have terrible consequences. That much is clear to anyone who understands the implications of that decision.

You are so right. There will be no acknowledgement of the significance of this march nor the magnitude.

This administration and their invested SRM will continue to campaign, lie, obfuscate and obstruct even as their political Berlin is surrounded and being destroyed.

We are becoming much larger, more truthfully resonant and clearly representative of USAmerica than this complete SorosInc machine will be able to handle.

Don’t look to the media for validation. It would be their death to speak truth.

We must rely on each other in the truthful and vital mission.

And, Axelrod, its wayyyyy bigger than race and healthcare.

I am so impressed and proud of the Tea Partiers in DC and across the country!!!

That is my impression as well. These fools are overplaying their hand, on the tea parties, on their jamming of fascist control over the country and everyone in it, and most of all on the race card. WAY overplaying!
