Van Jones: Obama let the tea party ‘set him up’ by being ‘so bipartisan’ [VIDEO] The Daily CallerBy Nicholas Ballasy | The Daily Caller – 7 mins ago

Reflecting on President Barack Obama’s first term, former Obama administration advisor Van Jones said the president “let his opponents,” specifically the tea party, “set him up” by being “so bipartisan.”

“There’s a lot of economic pain out there, and progressives don’t have organizations and campaigns that speak to that economic pain,” said Jones, adding that the tea party “figured” this out before any other group.

“They [tea party] understood that people were sitting on a white hot stove out there, and if Democrats weren’t going to point at the financial elites, they were going to point at the government elites,” said Jones during a discussion at the Center For American Progress about his book, Rebuild The Dream, on April 20. “Somebody got to get blamed, and part of the problem with the president was by being so bipartisan and trying to not, you know, try to be one country about everything, he let his opponents set him up.”

“So, there he is, standing there with a whole bunch of problems next to him, now he’s either a UN rescue worker or the unabomber, right? I mean, what is he? Is he the person that caused it, or is he the person who’s fixing it? Well, if you can’t, in that same frame, point to the person who’s causing it, it’s easy for you to get set up and that’s what happened to him.”

That's going to fail too.
People have already dealt with the likes of them.
Spot them, call attention to them, shout them down and howl them out.
Any initial violence will be theirs.

Only the news media won’t report it that way. (Re: “Any initial violence will be theirs.”)

The Tea Party people need to obtain one of the Obama “training videos” to be shown at the start of any Tea Party rally.

They better not muck it up. Besides, they won't have to report squat.
This is the video age with video available at the fingertips.
Modern cell phone technology and citizen journalists will be their undoing.

I would love to see it backfire on them if they try to spin it.

Well, the media has mucked it up royally with the “Trayvon” and Zimmerman case. To the point where they have established GUILT on the head of an innocent man (until or unless proven guilty), resulting in beatings of innocent white people all over the country amid shouts of “remember Trayvon!”

We still need to publicize the OWS training tapes instructing them to get in our faces and get “confrontational”, if anyone can get their hands on one of the tapes.
