Axelrod: The tea-party movement could be “unhealthy”
posted at 2:44 pm on April 19, 2009 by Allahpundit
No surprise that the master of astroturfing would find a true grassroots movement distasteful. To be scrupulously fair, it’s not the parties themselves that he’s calling “unhealthy” but rather the potential of populist anger in an age of economic panic to boil over into more extreme forms. Even so, his intent is clear — to delegitimize the parties by framing them as a shot across the bow from some sort of inchoate militia. The same could have been said years ago, of course, about anti-war protests amid a climate of grotesque hatred on the left for George Bush. Imagine the screeching from the world’s Garofalos had Karl Rove sensed something “unhealthy” about those on a Sunday morning chat show.
Naturally, this is all punctuated with the moronic talking point about tax cuts this year for 95 percent of America without mentioning the inevitable tax hikes to come to pay off Obama’s leviathan deficits. After you watch, head over to CNN to see Carville pronounce the parties not only “harmless” but actually beneficial to Democrats because the only people who showed up were 72 years old or something.

Nice liberty you have there, shame if something “unhealthy” happened to it…

No doubt!
Great book.

Axelrod thinks it’s better for The Precedent, himself, to foment violence against corporate officers who step off of the administration’s line, or for The Precedent, himself, to demonize and denigrate talk show hosts and TV personalities.
The despicable, lying scumbags occupying the White House are really ‘occupying’ the White House.

This guy looks like um
That character from Disney Goofer?
Or a rat of some sort
blatantblue on April 19, 2009 at 2:49 PM
I cant wait to hear what the Obama administration will say on July 4th. Im bettin there will be way more people in attendance at those tea parties.
Axelrod is a tool
becki51758 on April 19, 2009 at 2:49 PM
And who has been continuing the Chicken Little meme since Jan. 20? The [inherited] economy was in such terrible shape? Why did we need Porkulus? And so fast with no time to read it? Who egged on the busses to the AIG execs’ houses?
What community organizers and group named after a nut used confrontation and demonstration in front of banks or bankers houses to get subprime mortgages?
Populist anger is fine when it can be directed to Axelrod/Obama’s political goals. Otherwise, it’s “unhealthy.” Once the genie is out of the bottle, it might not be your genie any longer.
Wethal on April 19, 2009 at 2:51 PM
I voted in the democratic primary for joe biden.
I voted in the general for Obama/Biden.
Im 22 years old and of Puerto Rican descent.
I showed up at the tea party. As far as im concerned I don’t care why anyone voted for him he wasn’t supposed to double down on the deficit. There’s no real policy justification for that. Axlerod and Carville don’t seem to care but at the end of the day what they say doesn’t change why anyone showed up at the tea parties.
If people actually use the parties as a precursor to firing the liars and idiots in congress, then these were successful. Analyzing the makeup of those who showed up doesn’t really even matter.
ernesto on April 19, 2009 at 2:53 PM
That tax cut for 95% of Americans has already been eliminated. The budget resolutions recently passed by the House and the Senate don’t make room for it. If nothing changes the tax credit will be gone after 2010.
Mark1971 on April 19, 2009 at 2:53 PM
Axelrod is the teleprompter. Just watching him, you can see that he fears the tea parties. He knows that it was only a “cult following” and ACORN tricks that got his empty suit elected. People love this Country and they are not going to sit back and watch a bunch of Chicago thugs change the fabric of it. Yes, Mr. Alexrod, you must fear us, there is danger in numbers and our numbers are exploding. People have said “enough is enough” and you guys just don’t get it. It’s going to be so much fun to see Pelosi taken out of the Speakers chair in 2010.
suzyk on April 19, 2009 at 2:53 PM
In reality, all of the 2003 anti-war demonstrations were organized by card-carrying Socialists. So Rove would have been telling the truth.
Del Dolemonte on April 19, 2009 at 2:55 PM
Scary. That’s the meme. DHS report, mental illness from the likes of Gerafalo, now straight from the white house itself…unhealthy.
Wonder if they will work to disallow the next ones from happening?
Mommypundit on April 19, 2009 at 2:56 PM
The most common attendees at the party I was at were parents in their 30′s and 40′s with kids in tow. Looked similar in the photos from other events.
The large numbers and the demographic should be terrifying to those in power right now.

Well, Mr. Astrorod, tea clippers are on their way to your office. Between now and 2012 the Potomac is gonna be a regular Cha Riviera.

What’s really unhealthy is having Aholes like Axe having so much power in running our country.
Goodale on April 19, 2009 at 2:57 PM
I don’t know about that AP. I think the tea parties probably are an indication of something unhealthy, but they are more like the antibodies collecting to fight the infection that Axelrod is part of. I expect he has a right to be a little afraid of what this all might mean to him and his fellow microbes; but this is not what he thinks it is. The more the DC pols treats this like an aberration the wider the divide between them and the people becomes. And THAT is what is unhealthy.
MikeA on April 19, 2009 at 2:58 PM
And by “terrifying”, I mean politically dangerous to those in power, not that the partiers would actually be violent. These folks should be frightening to Axelrod precisely because they are so unscary and normal.

I can’t wait to see what happens to projected tobacco tax revenues. Nan might want to get that health bill passed before the data becomes available. Lotsa smokers going John Galt.

A grassroot movement led by lobbyists and Fox News?
I don’t think so AP.

A cartoonist could very easily draw a weasel as a good caricature of Axelrod and in Harry Smith’s case an anus would suffise very well.

The thing that bewilders Mr Axelrod is that the honeymoon is over so fast. And that this issues is not a left or right issue but a taxpayer vs overspending government issue
JKotthoff on April 19, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Just as with “truth in labeling” that idiot dems love so much that they want to force it on kids’ lemonade stands, the federal government should be forced to include deficit calculations into the calculation of the annual federal tax burden.
progressoverpeace on April 19, 2009 at 3:01 PM
To the people who are watching regular Sunday television (non-Interent users for news and opinion) Axelrod assumes (rightly I think) they don’t know HE is the one doing this kind of astroturfing. We just got through a campaign where the general public in no way knows that Axelrod is who he is condemning here. Ironic but I don’t see how he would be afraid to pull this. The general public doesn’t know the hypocrisy. They know what he has told them (from his POV) now and before Nov 4th to be true. Why shouldn’t he be confident he can spread his opinion about the tea parties?
Conan on April 19, 2009 at 3:02 PM
I’m proud of you Ernesto. I went to the Chicago Tea Party and talked to many people and was shocked at how many of them had voted for Obama and are now thoroughly disgusted with what he’s doing, his lying and his appointment of these “Czar’s”.
Since Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are predominatly Democratic, does Axelrod now think his own party is unhealthy?
Knucklehead on April 19, 2009 at 3:02 PM
Amen. At work last night I mentioned the Chavez hand job and the three folks I was speaking to needed to be told who Chavez is.

I immediately put myself on a schedule and cut my smoking in half. Now I’m looking to move to one of the e-cigarettes (nicotine vaporizers) just to make sure that they don’t get any tobacco tax money from me.
progressoverpeace on April 19, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Calling these protests Tea Parties is making the MSM lump it all together with anger over taxes. Its about more than that. They are mad about spending more it seems. This message is not getting out however.
Speedwagon82 on April 19, 2009 at 3:05 PM
It is chicken and egg getalife.
Fox knew about the ratings it would get based on the numbers organizing not the other way around. The movement WAYYYY preceeded Fox saying they would cover it.
By your calculation nothing the left ever does is grassroots because the networks eventually start talking about when it will happen and they will be there.
Conan on April 19, 2009 at 3:05 PM
The TEA parties are about a lot more than just an overspending government. They are about a government totally out of control and disdainful of the principles this country holds dear – which made us unique in this world.

Lobbyists are way too busy right now scrumming like hyenas at the giant hog carcass Pelosi and Chairman O laid out for them. Why would they be messing around with anti-spending tea parties when they make such a great living on grabbing up government spending.

It is obvious, that sooner or later these debts will have to be paid. Even if they do not raise federal income taxes on all Americans, there are lots of other ways to tax people.

Could you please try to pick one side of the argument to lose?

True but a group led by Newt and Dick Armey were involved. Then, Fox News shamelessly promoted it for months is not a grassroots movement.

What makes you think that anyone hear gives a rat’s ass about the Huffington Post.
Speaking of insanity, doubling the national debt in 4 years is a lot crazier than protesting out of control spending. When one considers the number of Democrats who are ready and willing to accept this like good little sheeple it makes you wonder just who is out of their minds?

My son from time to time plays hockey against a kid named Axelrod in the northshore area. It’s real hard NOT to have him go after that kid. And he would.

Actually Fox did not promote it, they just did not hide it.
Compare that to Easton Jordan of CNN accusing American soldiers of purposely killing journalists.

David “Goebbels” Axelrod, you “”sir” are a fascist ass.
Not nearly as unhealthy as the Obama administration’s ever larger steps toward more and more fascism with now going so far as to put out blanket “Enemies of the State” reports that actually cover a majority of the country’s citizens. I don’t think even Hitler and Mussolini went that far.
Oklahoma tells Homeland Security where they can stuff the fascist Obama administration’s ‘Enemies of the State’ report.
Oklahoma’s two U.S. senators say a federal report on right-wing extremism is offensive for suggesting military veterans and Americans with certain widely held beliefs are potential terrorists.
‘Under DHS’s bizarre guidelines, many of our founders, were they alive today, would be classified as potential terrorist threats,” Coburn said Friday. “This carelessly written and poorly reasoned report is offensive to not only our veterans, but to every American who is passionately committed to the ideals of limited government, life and liberty that made our country great.’
The audacity of hope was for his campaign
Fear and demonetization will be for his reign
His candidacy was rather like that of a Henry Houdini
His presidency is shaping up to be much more like that of a Benito Mussolini
So “Tea Party” attendees, and Veterans, Pro-life, Anti Illegal “Immigration” and pro Constitution folks are to Obama and his henchmen what the Jews were to Hitler? Yes, I guess so.
If Barack Obama keeps this up much longer I will have to change Mussolini to Hitler and change Houdini to something that rhymes with it.
Americans exercising their Constitutional rights Obama through his henchmen likes to bait
But if he had any wisdom to go down that road he would hesitate
Even those in his own party who don’t tow his line
Will get hung out on the vine
As Obama’s snake oil starts to be seen through
He will add to his bag of tricks some more fascist venom too
With creepy Harry and royalist Nancy he likes to whore
Wont be forever till more and more know the score
Neville Chamberlain he would never emulate
As he thinks that he thought too small and gave too little too late
If scarin’ folks dont do the trick
His Kevorkian health care system will make you all die or at least get very sick
When it comes to crushing dissent and preaching hate
The fascist Obama team just can’t wait

I too have cut back and ordered my “smokestik” last night after hearing about it on Fox. And how funny is it that the FDA will not approve this device because they’re saying it’s “dangerous”.
That’s ok, I ordered it and it’s coming from Canada. More of my disposable income being sent out this country.

Terrye on April 19, 2009 at 3:21 PM
They are trying to pass off the Make Work Pay change in withholding as a tax cut. As we’ve seen from this past election, the electorate is woefully uninformed and probably buys into it. After all, they are taking more money home in each pay check. There is going to be a rude awakening next April 15 when the duped masses find out that they could owe that money back depending on their tax situation. Either that or they will get a lower refund.
The MSM let Obama, Gibbs and Pelosi off the hook this week claiming 95% of Americans got a tax cut and only the 5% who didn’t were at the protests. They would make some powerful ads come midterms. They are lying about the tax cuts.
msmveritas on April 19, 2009 at 3:23 PM
Yah, the “extreme forms” of taking away some of his power in 2010 and all of it in 2012. That is what concerns him. A blind 4 year old child could see that.

I agree with Axelrod. The teaparty movement is just a head fake for what is really wrong with the republican party.
Evolve or die.
strangelet on April 19, 2009 at 3:24 PM
She said that the TEA parties were a grassroots movement. She was warning about what could become, to her pea-brain, “a dangerous conflagration”, you blithering idiot.
Of course, Arianna is a moron whose words are totally meaningless drivel, but you should be able to understand what you, yourself, are quoting. Of course, you’re a lib, so rationality is frowned upon.
Huh? Is this even English?

Oh please. Those people out there were not all Republicans. The reaction of people like you and Axelrod to the actions of hundreds of thousands of American citizens just goes to show that you are afraid of these people. You have no right to tell someone else to evolve or die, especially when Obama is running around acting like some throw back to the Carter administration.
Terrye on April 19, 2009 at 3:27 PM
I’m glad we have government functionaries like Axlerod to warn us about potentially “unhealthy” exercise of our Constitutional rights.
Citizens shouldn’t be going around petitioning their Government for Redress of Grievances until the manner, time, form, location and substance of their demonstration have been pre-approved by somebody like Axlerod.
Otherwise it could degenerate into … I dunno, freedom, or something.
cruadin on April 19, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Unhealthy??
What is unhealthy is the Obama administration.
What we need is a gigantic government cut – not just a
tax cut. We can start by getting rid of Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Reid & McCain.
Cut the socilaists down in 2010 so we can shut down Obama.
Then clean house of any free-spending socialists, democrats, RINO’s &
Republicans. Most government programs are a waste.

The tea party message needs to be more focused, the shotgun effect (taxes, spending, tarp, stimulas, etc)is confusing when talking about the movement.

I was browsing their site after the Fox report, myself. Let me know what you think.
No surprise, at all. They pulled the same thing when the tobacco companies tried coming out with smokeless cigarettes. It’s just like the global warming morons who refuse to consider nuclear energy.
Good job. I might try the lozenges, but I never liked the gums or patches. They aren’t real nicotine and don’t do much for me.
progressoverpeace on April 19, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Same here. The one I was at, I saw very few people who could be classified as elderly (let’s say 65 or over). If I had to guess a median age for the crowd, I would say 35-40. Decent amount of young people, 25 and under; I was surprised. One was wearing a hoodie with a Misfits tee-shirt underneath. He was pretty enthusiastic too.

phreshone on April 19, 2009 at 3:31 PM
If we continue down this path we will “die”. You’re pretty ignorant of our past, our Constitution and how it’s been ignored. There’s no need for “evolution”. What there is a great need for is reverting to the original intent of the framers. Federal power must be scaled back … it has only grown and will continue to grow until it controls you. It already weilds enormous control over individuals … and states.
The enumerated powers in the Constitution are actually very few … intentionally so. Everything else was left up to the states and the people themselves.
If you agree with Axelrod, you’re either uniformed, stupid, or disagree with our Constituion and prefer to be a subject under tyranny than a free citizen.
I think you’re all three.

As for the attendees being old people, that does not jive with what I have seen. However, I would not doubt that younger people are more willing to support Obama and are also more willing to support socialist changes in the economy. They feel that way until they become property owners and tax payers. I would imagine the same was true 40 years ago as well.
Terrye on April 19, 2009 at 3:34 PM
In Axelrod’s world any challenge to the messiah is unhealthy. Plan for a much bigger and more focused one in July. My goodness, if anyone should understand true activism it should be “One” and his hoard of left wing loons.

This chatter from above is probably meant to scare those who are on the fence about joining the next wave of TEA Parties. “Mutate into something that is unhealthy”, aka not something anyone of reasonable mind should want to be involved with.

I get what you are saying but the fact of the matter is this. If the GOP is not going to listen to us, then this is exactly what will happen. Maybe they are all on the same team trying to make it happen, who knows? But when Newt starts running his mouth and supporting RINOs, that is not going to work for 95% of the people at these tea parties.
They are trying their best to recast old hacks in a new light but no one is falling for that nonsense anymore. Did you hear all the RINOs that got booed off the stage at these tea parties? That SC dude tried his best to align himself with the crowd but it wasn’t cutting the mustard as well it should not!
We are a people of principle, not party. RINOs need not apply. Hey politicians, either walk your talk or shut up and go home!

Tobacco, gambling, alcohol, transfats, etc., etc., etc.
Axelrod is a dissembling tool.
Obama is a duplicitous CHILD.
The country is being dismantled and screwed by these fantasy-bound liars.
Tea Parties are Resistance to this glib government rape of the Constitution.
Bag the bums!
And dump them in 2010.

The Dems and Obama are in a slow boil, below-the-surface, panic. The debt Obomba is about ready to sink the US.

Indeed. I kind of know what it was trying to say, though I can’t figure out what “the world” has to do with American TEA parties. They just don’t train the people in the Pakistani boiler-rooms as well as they used to. Frankly, I’m offended that would send such pathetic trolls to us.
