Tea Bags are so EXTREME!

"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.
Axelrod was asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" for his opinion on what the show's host described as "this spreading and very public disaffection with not only the government, but especially the Obama administration."
Axelrod replied: "I think any time that you have severe economic conditions, there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy."
"Unhealthy?" the moderator repeated.
"This is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves. And so far these are expressions," Axelrod answered.
Well there you have it folks, if you disagree with government spending you are extreme. Not in the Discovery Channel sense, but in the militant sense.
It is obvious that at this point anyone who opposes the "handling" of this "economic crisis" is going to be dismissed. Notice that there is no debate on the issue, only dismissal of the opposition. I wonder what axelrod thinks of the people who were against the previous administration? Were those people just expressing themselves as well?
The interesting thing is that Obama was not the focus of the Tea Parties. Anyone with even the slightest bit of historical preference knows what the Tea Parties were about. Funny how the Obama administration is so touchy when it comes to the issue of taxation. The real worry, on the behalf of the administration, is that there will be much larger gatherings when the Bush tax cuts expire. Couple that with people waking up to the fact that there are no actual tax cuts taking place.

Pay close attention when the Government of the United States is more worried about the actions of its citizens than its actual enemies.
