MoveOn.org drives new liberal catch phrase: ‘Tea party downgrade’

MoveOn.org drives new liberal catch phrase: ‘Tea party downgrade’ Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller 43 mins ago

The left-wing activist group MoveOn.org picked up the new liberal slogan bashing conservatives for Standard & Poor’s U.S. credit rating downgrade: “Tea Party downgrade.” President Obama’s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod and Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry both used the phrase on Sunday talk shows.

In a Sunday afternoon email to supporters, MoveOn.org accused tea partiers of being responsible for the first-ever credit downgrade in U.S. history. “This ‘tea party downgrade’ is a shameful blow to our nation’s honor and risks throwing us right back into recession,” Moveon.org wrote. “Worst of all? It was completely avoidable. But when given the choice between extremist posturing and responsible leadership, tea party Republicans chose wrong.” (RELATED: Axelrod: ‘This is essentially a tea party downgrade’)

MoveOn.org added that “now, amazingly, they’re trying to pin the blame on Democrats.”

Moveon.org will be in every town 2 weeks before the election with ads for jobs for 10 bucks an hour to drive people to vote and give them money to vote a straight democratic ticket.I saw it last election.

Let them waste the cash. By then only DU will be looking to vote Dem and many of them will think twice. Don’t forget, Libs are already turning and there’s more than a year to go. It’s only gonna get worse.

All the unemployed who lost everything? All the rich whose fortunes were slashed? All the regular people hammered by Obama and his ‘change’? Just ask...

“Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago”?

Game, Set, Match.

The left is trying to bait the Tea Party into conducting acts of violence. It’s really the only chance the left has of hanging onto their power after the 2012 elections.

They will overreach. They always do. Look at the ‘youth riots’ already.

Even before this mess I heard Obama HAS to take PA and NC for a win.NC’s liberal witch gov just vetoed the VOTER ID law.She is up for re election at the same time as Obama.All’s the republican legislature wrote in the bill is that people show ID to vote (as they have for years in NC before Obama some how changed it) The Gov. and the dems said then poor people could not vote and vetoed it. So they are fixin on getting a lot of illegal votes from the illegal Mexican population.

I agree but they just sit back while these riots happen. We watched news video of a woman loading people in her van and saying she tells them to vote for Obama and nothing happened.Nothing happened when ACORN was busted red handed in Ohio giving money to vote.

The only hope is that their MANUFACTURED CRISIS propaganda regarding the tea party words of last week didn’t work.

They’re gonna repeat it over and over and over again until the stupid public believes it. And we on the right won’t do a damn thing to combat it................
It’s the way it’s always been.

This is a tipping point. It’s not working anymore. We are in untrodden territory.

When total hell breaks loose, the people will step up whether the authorities do or not. Always has been the way of the world.

Nope, thank God. The MSM arrogance that they always have and always will ‘shape’ pub opinion fails miserably in the face of reality once people feel enough personal pain to open their eyes to the lies. Then those people get REALLY POd.

I worked in the MSM for years. Trust me. Most really are as stupid as they look.

These clowns are not the sharpest tools in the box. I almost want to kiss them for the opportunity.

Now, I refer to the exact same event as the
"TEAT Party Downgrade"

If we all do it, they will have to go buy some more dope and come up with a less boomerangy cute line.

I hear this meme alot from armchair political experts. Ok so what news organization is going to give a forum like you want to go over things with charts and graphs? Someone to allow you present your Conservative case unfettered, unfiltered and uninterrupted with spin. Guys like Paul Ryan have been showing charts and graphs for months now, have you seen them? I have but it’s been rare. The problems is not with politicians per se it’s your idiot neighbor that votes these guys in. Take your frustration out on them. Newsflash, you never get your fairness nirvana where you can have your Perry Mason moment with guys like Obama. If people want to learn what is going on they will, the dolts and drones no amount of screaming facts and statistics by you or Ronald Reagan can change their mind. About 50% of the population is corrupt, covetous, lying scumbags, it’s that simple. I am done looking for messiahs or magic bullets to convince them. They need to be defeated, made to starve and learn by experience that your love of your neighbors treasure will only bring more misery on yourself. Some of you are waiting for the perfect messenger and the perfect message which will resonate with the drones, it will never come. People believe what they want to believe.


You’re right, we’re not down with the program and we should just give up, give in, check out. No, you are wrong, we should pressure our side’s representatives as they are not that smart and they do have access to such easy charts and they can put some $ together if they really loved this country to buy some tv time...no, can’t do that, that’s outside the box, not in the usual playbook...

Could that possibly be because there is really no longer a two party system in America? Now you’re cookin’ on the right burner!

Or as some have put it, we don't really need a third party, just a second one.
