David Axelrod Describes Tea Party Movement as "Unhealthy" - Video 4/19/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | April 19, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 04/19/2009 2:03:15 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of chief Obama adviser David Axelrod today on CBS News' Face the Nation where he described the "Tea Party" movement as "unhealthy," as if it is made up of just a bunch of disaffected oddballs. He defends Obama as having just cut taxes on 95% of Americans, saying the "teabags should be directed elsewhere."

What neither the media or the Obama people want to address is that one of the real drivers behind the movement is not the level of taxes today, but what Obama's spending is going to mean for taxes in the years ahead. His massive deficit spending is going to mean huge tax increases in the years ahead, not only on the rich, but necessarily on the next generation of Americans. There will not be enough money from the "rich" alone to tax. Tax increases are coming for all Americans as a result of Obama's policies. Obama does not care because he will likely finish his Presidency before the worst of those taxes will be required. He is moving to reshape America's economy and society into more of a European-style Socialist state before the check comes due. The "Tea Party Movement" is trying to sound the alarm, but it seems the majority of Americans are satisfied to watch it happen for now. . . . . . (Watch Video)

I think Obama could crap on some of these fawning followers’ foreheads and they would try to put a positive spin on it.

Top Obama advisor David Axelrod called tea parties “unhealthy” and said “The thing that bewilders me is that this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people.” Didn’t we used to have a policy that protected the economic rights of 95% of Americans? It was called slavery. I don’t recall that being good enough.

That is weird. A pasty looking diabetic who obviously eats donuts then shoots insulin, calling the TEA Party “unhealthy? He doesn’t look to healthy himself.

Pot meet kettle.

Germany also had a policy removing the wealth and privileges of less than 5%. It was called the Holocaust. I don’t recall that being good.

"Axelrod....pasty, unhealthy-looking"

I thought Bill Clinton appointed the original freak show with among others, Shalalalalal, Reno and Robert Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-ah.

But Obama is working hard to surpass even the Circus Master.

Ever notice how Gaithner's eyes are always shifting sideways, like a crab scurrying down to the water's edge?

Napolitano looks like the the Runaway Bride. I wouldn't want her looking at me face-to-face.....I don't want those ping-pong balls aimed at me.

Exactly the point mentioned.

It is not about “todays” taxes but those that will come due to the unprecedented level of spending by the Federal Government.

I understand about 40% of the working population pays no income tax. I think that means the tax refund they get is actually welfare.
