Axelrod: Tea Party Anger is Misdirected
AP ^ | Aug 18, 2002

Posted on 04/19/2009 3:15:16 PM PDT by Hanna548

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.

People, we need to get a video together of our own. We cannot continue to let these people define us. We need to stand up and say NO A)()*)(_)( this is who/what we are and our lazer is aimed at Washington, top bottom, Republican and Democrat....etc. etc.

Is anyone game to give it a try??? I am so angry my eyeballs are spewing blood.

The Government just spent $1.8 trillion that they don’t have and they call the anger “misdirected”?

Here ya go love. Keep your eyeballs entact :). I know how you feel, as do millions of Americans who cannot put their finger on their anger. Taxes are the symptom, loss of the republic is the disease. Check this out. WE KNOW that taxes may be going down THIS year, but they will continue to rise, until the empire is crushed under its own weight. The last few minutes of this video really tell the story. Watch it and send it to the WH. Let them know why you are mad!

The video is a description of the 5 supposed forms of government, from 100% government control (Communism, fascism, totalitarianism etc) to 0% government (anarchy) it obliterates all forms of government as only temporary and futile except for 2, oligarchy and republic. It does this in a clear concise manner, which effectively shows even a grade schooler about them. It then, in the last few moments, explains Rome, its beginning as a republic, and its morph into a democracy. The parallels are well put, and clearly where this country is today. It is an excellent way to spread the word to those who have never been taught proper history, and that is alot of people since they have been re writing it for so long now.

I have been posting this sucker all over all day, and sometimes I forget that some are stuck at work, so I have included the above basic description of the video, however it does not do the video justice. I beg, implore and urge all to view it who have not. THIS is the reason we are so angry. Taxes are a symptom, losing our republic is the disease!!!!!

“this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people” And just what law has the Congress passed and Zero signed to put this into effect? None.

axelrod thinks Americans should be willing to sit by as the nationaL debt ticks up past $12 trillion, for centralized statist-run spending programs, selling their children’s economic future for a $400 one-time tax rebate (NOT even a tax cut)

not gonna happen without a vocal protest

We’ve had “not really there”, “not important”, “astroturfing by Fox”, “just crazy right wingers”, “racist” and now “misdirected”. What will be the next lie?

They just put in place the CO2 directive, which will increase costs for all Americans, and also give the government much more control over our lives.

And they wonder why people are angry...

They just don’t get it. Actually, they think people are too stupid to understand things like this loony CO2 global warming power grab.

Is he a liar, or just plain stupid? When the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 taxes will increase for everyone WHO PAYS TAXES!

Read the signs David. There were more about socialism, big government, going Galt, 2nd amendment, loss of rights, huge debts.... than taxes.

Saying it was ‘about taxes’ _is_ ‘misdirected’ and just another lie.

I was just wondering about that myself.

Can somebody direct my attention to my “tax cut”? There is not one penny more in my paycheck last Thursday than there was for the same hours worked last December.

Oh yeah....that extra $32 a month is really going to help pay the taxes next year, you dummy. Decreasing withholding only means taxpayers will have to cough up more next April 15. BO’s mouthpiece certainly thinks we are stupid.

I’m sure he’d love the anger to be directed elsewhere.

These people don’t have a clue as to what’s really going on in America. A few bucks in our pocket from cutting taxes isn’t going to compensate for the money they’re taking out of our other pocket in taxes, fees, and all the other higher prices of products because of taxation of businesses. Arghhhhhhhhhh.

“they think people are too stupid to understand”

Actually, it would appear that close to 50% ARE too stupid to figure out that 12 trillion in increased debt cannot work.

Yes, he does because the people who voted for Obama ARE STUPID!

Over half of the people who pay taxes will be paying MORE under Obama!
