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.”

Did you all think progressivism was going to die peacefully?
What you all are witnessing is desperation.

In my inner circle, many of them voted for BHO, none of them blame to TEA Party

We will lose the P.R. battle on this one because we have too many Republicans simply aren't smart enough or don't care to get out in front of this and repeat the FACT that THIS IS OBAMA's FAULT!! Too many on our side think it's "beneath" their office to submit such a comment. Well, to those members of the Republican party who think this way; remember, a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth! Now, get your perpendiculars out there and fight this war of words!

There was a great article in the Washington times entitled “Obama’s Downgraded America”.

It laid the blame right where it was due, specifically on the obscene orgy of spending undertaken by Obama and Pelosi.

The official Dem talking points say the downgrade is simply psychological and symbolic.

The markets will tank today on the news, destroying more wealth.

This is as real as it gets. These people should be in prison for what they have done.

We are so used to being downtrodden and the Alinsky victims of the Obama Axelrod spin machine of propaganda we didn’t even realize that the Yahoo news report on this is telling on Obama not promoting him. New Obama ‘code words’ catch phrase.

Last week the catch phrase of spin was the tea party MANUFACTURED the CRISIS.It could be googled endlessly.
It didn’t work. They will fail at this new one;playing partisan politics when our country is crashing economically is ludicrous. Obama is against this country and is campaigning that is not a leader that is a usurper. They should start articles of impeachment hearings and the people will demand Washington cuts spending and defunds ObamaCare immediately.
