Damn the tea bags. A top adviser to President Barack Obama takes a dim view of last week's anti-tax "tea parties," promoted by organizers in the spirit of the Boston Tea Party.
"The thing that bewilders me is this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people. So I think the tea bags should be directed elsewhere because he certainly understands the burden that people face," David Axelrod said Sunday.
--snip--
Axelrod replied: "I think any time that you have severe economic conditions, there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy."

It’s not just about taxes Axelrod, it’s about the massive debt future generations will have to pay. They just don’t get it or they’re intentionally acting stupid.
...must have missed the /s tag...
“The thing that bewilders me is this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people”
Axelrod and Obamachev repeat the big lie.
It would be nice if someone would confront it.
Does anyone in the lamestream media realize obama didn’t cut taxes? All his people did was to adjust the tax table which means you will either pay more next April or get less.
Yeah, right. He let Bush's tax cuts expire - the $1,000 child tax credit drops to $500 under the "Obama Tax Cut" plan. Then he promises to raise the tiers and remove our charitable deductions. Most insulting, about 45% of those he gave "free money" to don't have to pay taxes. They are sustained by the other "productive" half of Americans.
To make matters worse, he's now permitted an Obama official designate the paying half of Americans as "potential terrorists".
I don't think Obama is clueless, I won't ask what part of SOCIALISM he doesn't get, he has implemented it just as he plan.
Tea anyone?

Axelrod has “turf envy” -— he can not stand the real deal!
The thing that bewilders me is how you can lie so easily. Show me the 95% of Americans who have had their taxes cut. THEY DON'T EXIST. I guess Goebbels(?) was right - people will believe a big lie, before they believe little ones.
A tax cut? Thanks for far less than nothing, Obama
(shameless vanity plug)
an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that’s unhealthy.”
“unhealthy” .. haa. speaking of stooges... talk about the blind leading the blind..
that describes the left’s actions the last few years, stealing votes and raising the dead for theirs as well... and what they said about Bush,, No, we just saw 8 years of that, axelrod, major fail.
Oh, yes. That's it. It had nothing to do with the fact that the Tea Partiers were hold elected government officials accountable for the severe economic conditions. No. Huh-uh.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
They get it and they're not stupid, this is just a reinforcement of their plan.
Keep telling the same lie over and over and it becomes the truth.
I’m pretty disaffected by Axelshaft, that’s for sure. He thinks he’s as sharp as Rove, but he’s actually a dull tool in comparison. His comment speaks volumes about his view towards dissent in general, and more specifically anyone who would dare dispute the O’zer.
This “95%” meme needs to be stopped in its tracks. Are there any DC Republicans with balls left to dispute this BS?
To fund the out years after Obama’s one-time TARP funding and bailouts, every other tax will need to be raised - state income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, meals taxes, county taxes, hotel taxes, school taxes, energy taxes, healthcare taxes, and utility taxes.
Nice try Axelturf.
What she was seeing in the MSM didn't line up with what she was seeing/hearing from me (and my facebook friends, lol).
The Dems are going to lose a good portion of their supporters, if they keep up the lies about the Tea Parties, IMHO. They'll keep the kooks happy tho, so let 'em have at it.
Adjusted the with holding tables. The tax rate remains the same. You still owe the full frieght at the end of the year. SURPRISE!
Not to mention that 40 - 50% of the so-called 95% don’t pay taxes anyway. Can you say WELFARE? I knew you could.
Which leads us to another trick they’ve been using lately which is to use ‘median income’ to illustrate that we are the lowest taxed Americans ever. Few people below the median are paying taxes anyway so it’s meaningless.
I pay a full 20% of my income in federal taxes and another 10% state on top of that...Screw you Axlerod.
Mr. Axelrod, you and your boss and your colleagues in Congress are spending trillions more over the next few years. One way or the other, somebody is going to pay for that. Who is that, do you suppose?
Pretty sure the people attending those rallies don’t give a damn what the idiot residing in the W.H. thinks. Their only concern is limiting the damage he can cause until he’s gone.
Axelrod answered that question by referring to “our liberties”.
Liberty is singular. In the minds of the likes of Axelrod and Obama, liberties refer to government allowed actions, not to LIBERTY or FREEDOM.
