Obama Targets the Tea Party

By on 5.8.12 @ 6:08AM

In his view it’s supposed to be dead, but one can never be too sure.

The Obama 2012 campaign is in full gear and playing from the Saul Alinsky playbook that has served it so well. You know the drill. Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.

Obama’s re-election team has set it sights on the Tea Party. Of course, it’s not the first time the Tea Party has been in Team Obama’s crosshairs. Just last month, while appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, David Axelrod told Candy Crowley that Republicans in Congress “were in the thralls of this reign of terror from the far right that has dragged the party to the right.” So if one of Obama’s top advisers is prepared to liken his political adversaries to terrorists then you know there’s no limit to what Obama and his acolytes are prepared to say about the Tea Party. In two of its campaign ads with its Maoist inspired theme “Forward,” the voiceover solemnly says, “Some said our best days were behind us,” accompanied by images with Tea Party protesters.

Tea Partiers, like a majority of Americans, believe the country is going in the wrong direction under President Obama’s policies. But that’s a far cry from believing that America’s best days are behind us. As someone who addressed the Tea Party Tax Day Rally in Worcester, Massachusetts, last month, I can personally attest that Tea Party activists want to leave their children and grandchildren with a better America. Consider this portion from the Worcester Tea Party Mission Statement:

The Worcester Tea Party is a local, all volunteer, non-profit organization. Across the greater Worcester County area we are building the bottom-up organization to return our country back to the principles that made her great.

We need to connect with our neighbors to form strong local groups, ready to take on whatever challenges we face. Together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

Now that doesn’t sound like an organization that believes America’s best days are behind it. If the Worcester Tea Party or any other chapter of the Tea Party believed that it wasn’t possible for America to have a better future, then the Tea Party would not be much of a political force and would have ceased to exist long ago. It could be that President Obama knows about as much about the Tea Party as he does about the authority of the Supreme Court to overturn legislation, the difference between the Maldives and the Malvinas. or how many states there are in the Union. Or it could very well be that President Obama knows exactly what the Tea Party represents and simply isn’t telling the truth.

With regard to the Obama campaign’s targeting of the Tea Party, Daniel Halper of the Weekly Standard writes that “one expects this line of attack many times over before November’s presidential election.” Halper is no doubt correct in his assessment. Obama’s targeting of the Tea Party has only just begun. Yet this shouldn’t be viewed as a negative development. After all, it wasn’t so long ago that obituaries were being written for the Tea Party. Back in January, Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos wrote, “The Tea Party proved itself ineffective, irrelevant and co-opted this primary cycle.” A year after the mid-term elections, Robert Schlesinger of U.S. News & World Report sardonically wrote, “Remember the Tea Party? It was all the rage back in ‘10, inspiring fear in establishment Republicans and loathing in Democrats.” Last September, Will Bunch of Media Matters argued that the Tea Party was basically a creation of “the right-wing media, and it echoes.” Bunch’s argument is basically a variation on the theme put out by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who once characterized the Tea Party as “Astroturf.”

But if the Tea Party is so ineffective, irrelevant, co-opted, artificial, and as out of style as a polyester suit, then why does the Obama 2012 campaign feel the need not only to conjure up images of the Tea Party but to misrepresent its positions? If anything, Obama’s attention towards the Tea Party demonstrates its strength and resonance with a significant portion of the electorate. So by all means I hope the Obama campaign continues to target the Tea Party. In his pursuit of re-election, President Obama might end up making the Tea Party stronger than ever.

Thanks to the Tea Party for rebelling against the Roves and the Romneys and other hacks.

Appleby| 5.8.12 @ 6:47AM

The thing the Tea Party needs to do is stop listening to or responding to the Obamabots; just get on with the procession. Deeds, not words, will win the day. Take a page from the Salvation Army playbook and rather than yell "We're Number One!" get people to ask "What makes you different?"

DTOM!| 5.8.12 @ 9:11AM

Ask soon-to-be-ex Senator Lugar about the 'death' of the Tea Party.

Does anyone really think that in 2016, there'll be seven Tea Party presidential candidates conveniently awaiting serial eradication like this season? Refer to soon2Bx Senator Lugar, again, please.

Honey Badger don't care.

Tea Party don't care!!!

Is it too late for the Tea PArty to adopt the Honey Badger as its mascot? I hope not!

TLP| 5.8.12 @ 10:02AM

Thank you, Appleby. You are exactly right. Let them spout their lies, cause all it does is Solidify our Side.

The only people who listen to this Lying Scumbag's Sh*t, are other Lying Scumbags.

The author mentions Candy Crowley. Candy Crowley? Really? Doesn't she (or is she a guy?) read the daily Democrat Talking points that George Soros' Media Matters sends over to them at the "Cover for the black guy News Network"? You know...the other Democrat official mouthpiece for the Marxist/Muslim, with no ratings.

Nobody, who's not in Food Service Industry, gives a Flying Fluke, what Fat Ass has to say. Nobody that has their head on straight, cares what that Flaming Homo Boy Toy - Moulitsos - has to say, when his mouth isn't otherwise occupied.

Nobody cares what Gloria Vanderbilt's little teabagging boy, has to say? Nobody cares what that Cement Headed Drunk - Ed (How much do I give you, to get in the car? And, you promise you're a Pre-Op Transexual?) Schultz, says, when he isn't waging his One Man WAR ON WOMEN, in his Quest for the Perfect Slut.

I say, let them talk. Let them keep putting their foot in their Mouth, right along with whatever other appendages they are wont to have in there. (I'm surprised there aren't more Liberal "Men" in all of those Hot Dog Eating Contests, on the 4th of July. Maybe they're saving themselves, in case there's ever a Foot Long Bratwurst Gobbling Contest?)

Anywho.

The Magic Negro can't fill the seats, anymore. He can't run on his Record. He has made the decision to hold Rallies in front of KIDS, who have yet to enter the Workforce, as opposed to ADULTS, who are all too familiar, with the end results, of his Redistributive Marxist Policies.

His Hope and Change, has become: "I HOPE we CHANGE Presidents, in November. I HOPE I can find a Job, or keep my House, or be able to Feed my Family, MYSELF. I want to CHANGE from getting an Unemployment Check, to Earning a PAYCHECK!"

Let'em talk. Cause all they do is PISS US OFF.

Let'em talk. Cause every time they do, they Reenforce what we already know, and open the eyes of many, whose eyes were previously Glazed Over by the Aura of THE ONE.

As with all things, the Bloom has fallen from the Rose, with His Majesty. He has, long since, lost his luster as the 1st African American President, and has replaced that title with a New one: The 1st Black Far Left Marxist Radical, to bring this Country to the Edge of the Abyss, with his Devout Adherence to Marx's Communist Manifesto, his Narcissim, and the Arrogance that comes with the combination of the two. Plus, a Complacent Media that would prefer to have an "Obama's Hot Dog Eating Contest" than to ever, actually, Report the TRUTH.

By all means, Let Them Talk.

Donald Young's Revenge| 5.8.12 @ 1:09PM

The Arizona Sun Shine Tea Party will be the patriots who finally take out this usurper/criminal. They went to Sheriff Joe Arpaio and he honored their patriotic request to investigate this President and they have come up with a truck load of evidence that will blow holes in this usurper's regime. These folks are bucking heads with the two powerful criminals, Barack Hussein Obama and his criminal Attorney General Eric Holder. They are up against men who have the full force of the American government at their disposal and they will not back down. God bless them!! We need to get behind them financially and become actively involved in hounding the conservative media to give these folks the platforms they need to cause this usurper to resign. The evidence is already there and available, they just need the cower little wusses in the Conservative media to man-up and provide the platform to expose the crimes. The Tea Party is alive and well in Arizona.

Teaghan| 5.8.12 @ 2:25PM

FOX NEWS will not give Arpio the platform as they are in the bag as well as the rest of them. Chicken Sh*t all the way.

TLP| 5.8.12 @ 2:34PM

I don't watch FOX News, anymore.

They folded, like a cheap camera (Hat tip to the GREAT Bob Grant.) a long time ago.

The Tea Party Formula: Smaller Government = Lower Taxes = Greater Individual Liberty.

JP| 5.8.12 @ 7:58AM

The great thing abou the Tea Party is that it isn't an official party. There is no staff, organization, org charts, or web sites. The Tea Party Movement, depending upon what the next move of Big Government is, waxes and wanes. The minute it is recognized by the MSM it disappears, only to revive itself when the next abuse of federal power occurs. The Alinsky modus operandi, therefore, is difficult to execute. For there is nothing to target, freeze, or personalize.

ncatty| 5.8.12 @ 9:44AM

Correct.

Von Mises Jr| 5.8.12 @ 10:12AM

Exactly, JP. There is a management book "The Starfish and the Spider."
It teaches that Cortes landed in what is now Mexico and with their horses, guns and swords to slay Montezuma's Aztec civilization. They cut off Montezuma's head (the spider) and closed the roads and waterways forcing the centralized hierarchy into submission.
Then they headed north and encountered the Apache (the starfish). Every band of Apache had a nominal leader. If they cut off the head of the tribal leader, his brother, son or cousin became the new chief. If they killed the entire tribe, the band of Apache over the hill cut their throats as they slept.
The lesson of the starfish is that it has no head. If you cut a starfish in two, you get two starfish. This is how Christianity and other religions multiplied. And it is how we will save our Constitution.

Al Adab| 5.8.12 @ 11:15AM

If the Tea Party were in actual control of the GOP we would not be faced with a "moderate republican" as the potential nominee. Since both Movement Conservatives and Tea Party activists opposed the Romeny nomination, it is a bit disingenuous for the DEM party to use the one to attempt to besmirch the other. Of course that type of character assasination is exactly what the DEM party does so well and, since the GOP attempts to campaign on issues, it will continue to work with the voters whena majority of them continue to select and allocate their votes based on perception rather than reality.

Sorry for the run on sentence. Jr, you are right with the starfish analogy. The Constitutional movement will continue to grow with the American body politic. We will have to see if Liberty can survive until once again limited government and the preservation of freedom becomes our priority.

I'd rather be part of the Tea Party trying to restore our Republic than OWS who wants to tear it down, OWS = Obama = Reid = Pelosi = Media

Teaghan| 5.8.12 @ 8:16AM

The local "tea party" group here in eastern virginia where I live, is toxic. They are foaming at the mouth fools who have taken over a local republican committee and will end up causing us to loose our charter if we don't keep them in check. They don't get it that we common sense conservatives and them are all working toward the same goal. To unseat obama. It's the way we go about it, that's different. They are dividing our party and will end up hurting us in the end.
I'm not saying ALL Tea Party groups are this way. It's this one where I live that needs to be reined in.

Crassus| 5.8.12 @ 10:10AM

You make a good point here, Teaghan. Far too many Tea Party groups fall into the hands of idiots like Jack and Clint. That gives us candidates like Christine O'Donnell, Sharon Angle, and that assclown who ran against Murkowski in Alaska. Sometimes it's the watchers themselves who need constant observation.

Pete| 5.8.12 @ 10:47AM

So you actually prefer Castle and Murkowski? Funny how Republicans always expect conservatives, who they have nothing but contempt for, to just fall in line.

Crassus| 5.8.12 @ 11:50AM

Not exactly, Pierre. I'm just saying that if you want to beat a Harry Reid or a Lisa Murkowski you shouldn't run a complete idiot (Angle) or a bankrupt loser (the guy in Alaska) against them. What's the use of getting rid of a RINO if you bring in a bigger idiot as a replacement? The Tea Party needs good candidates not fools.

Big Bob| 5.8.12 @ 1:01PM

This is been a constant, if not boring, narrative regarding O'Donnell and Angle. What causes you to be sure that they were so "dumb'? Reid clearly did not think so because of all his behind the scenes machinations to make sure the votes went to him, as in vote fraud!! Why bother if the candidate was such a loser? There is more than meets the eye here, such as the millions and millions dollars that went to support the GOP candidate in CA for one. Senator Kyl and McConnell both have consistently repudiated ANY Tea party candidate for emotional or financial purposes. The standing party by definition will resist any attempt at reformation. Your response is textbook and will not stop until you are put out of your misery!! Take two aspirin and have a cup of Tea.

Teaghan| 5.8.12 @ 2:29PM

"I am not a witch" huh?
And no experience to deal with the killer media. They destroyed both of those women. The gals never had a chance.

Pete| 5.8.12 @ 9:00PM

Liberals are so arrogant and condescending. They call the Tea Party members "teabillies," "teapotters" or "teabaggers," without realizing how little they themselves are being manipulated by ObaMao and his Alenski-trained handlers.

This whole premise is silly . Dumbo has already pronounced he's given up on the ' white middle class ' . Given that every move he makes is a campaign ploy , about all he'd do is piss us off even worse and hope the press would get some traction out of it . But as JP notes , who's to target ? . 2/3's of the country ? .

Anthony| 5.8.12 @ 10:24AM

Part of the Alinsky strategy is the use of Orwellian language to convey precisely the opposite of what the word or term means.
The troll Axelrod is a master of the use of Orwellian concepts, as he looses his vile tongue on the Tea Party and conservative America. The whores in the MSM all too eager to echo Chief Vile Tongue.
With the left, up is down and wrong is right. Tea Party bad, OWS courageous dissenters. Legal voters suspect, illegal voters o.k.
Obozo, like all leftists, is one sick, vile bastard.
We are at war, whether we know it or not, whether we accept this as fact or not.

martin j smith| 5.8.12 @ 10:35AM

Obama is an ideologue and a a little Dictator. Any one who disagrees with him is "The enemy". And this is our President ? To me this is har5dly a surprise. I knew and feared this even before the election of 2008. The facts were there. But many failed to listen.

Pete| 5.8.12 @ 10:44AM

The title should be, Obama and the RINOS target the Tea Party.

Anthony| 5.8.12 @ 11:04AM

Agreed Pete, but the RINOs don't hate America or wish to transform it, they're just cowards and wimps.
The RINOs will fall in line, like cattle, once the left is vanquished.

Pete| 5.8.12 @ 9:01PM

The RINOs hate the Dems because they want the power for themselves. The RINOs hate the Tea Party because they want that power to go to the citizens.

Louis Jenkins| 5.8.12 @ 11:12AM

The Tea Party is a movement of people, and cannot be nailed down for the polarization that Obama would like. The RINOs in congress have been drug to the right by the Tea Party? It's the other way around, they're trying to drag the Tea Party to the left, which will not happen. And if it does, a new person will be elected to former Tea Party positions. The Gasden Flag is an appropriate symbol.

Crawler| 5.8.12 @ 12:11PM

For those of us who have been around awhile remember when Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. fought in 1974 Rumble in the Jungle boxing match against George Foreman? Clay used a technique called the rope-a-dope.
A rope-a-dope is used to describe strategies in which one party purposely puts itself in what appears to be a losing position, attempting thereby to become the eventual victor. Boxing info. from Wiki.
This will be the technique that the Tea Party will use against the Euro wannabe Socialists.
Just keep punching away lefties, just keep punchin away.

Osamas Pajamas| 5.8.12 @ 3:49PM

I went to my first tea party rally in 1967 on a Boston wharf beside Old Ironsides --- mayb 150 of us, max, and 20 or so were leftist shxtheads trying to hijack the rally --- today they would be Axelrod's and OhBummer's Occupy Wall Street thugs. The tea partiers are a center and moving target, sprining up from cracks in the sidewalks and dropping from trees, and so forth. The OhBummer Wrecking Crew are never going to see the end of us.

Osamas Pajamas| 5.8.12 @ 4:11PM

ROUNDS COOKING OFF

The Democrats have this "enemies list" --- denominated in epithets aimed at the people whose wallets they wish to hijack and take up residence inside. You can be a “Racist!” and you can be a “Homophobe!” and you can be a “T-bagger!” --- a homosexual man taking his partner’s scrotum into his mouth. You can be “Selfish!” and you can be a “Wacko!” and you can be a “Hick!” and you can be a “Rube!” and you can be an “Extremist!” You can be a “Right-wing-nut!” and you can be “Mentally Ill” and you can be “Deranged!” and you can be a “Warmonger!” and you can be "Unenlightened!" and you can be a “FatCat!” and you can be a “Nazi!” and you can be a “Fascist!” --- although no one more closely approaches the precise description of “Nazi!” or “Fascist!” than the usual Democrat propagandist --- either official, or self-appointed.

Lies, after all, are the heart and soul and the sword and shield of the Democrat party.

So all you have to do to occupy multiple epithets on the Democrats’ enemies list is to insist that they take their hands off yourself, off your wallet, off your property, off your kids, off your diet, off your healthcare, off your household appliances, off your car, off your bank account, off your weapons of self-defense, off your liberty, and off your freedom of speech. Insist on all these good things - and that qualifies you to be spat upon by nasty, mean-spirited scXm --- by The Friends of All Mankind --- by a gang of lying, thieving, dope-smoking, pill-popping, coke-snorting, sticky-fingered, bloodsxcking, tax-eating, gun-stealing, predatory humanitarian thugs --- by the Democrat party, in other words. No political party in the history of America more profoundly deserves absolute and outright destruction.

Osamas Pajamas| 5.8.12 @ 4:12PM

THE AGE OF OHBUMMER, KING OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIES

OhBummer is a fool for attacking the American Tea Partiers. Heck, he thought that he had all of us hoodwinked, hornswoggled, and bamboozled. He’s annoyed that the Tea Partiers are not grateful to him for hijacking the American healthcare system --- the greatest act of vandalism perpetrated upon the American people since a gang of jihadi frootloops and loonytoons hijacked some planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center towers --- and the Pentagon, and made a failed attempt to crash into the White House --- and instead drilled a hole in a Pennsylvania farm thanks to some very courageous American passengers.

And --- now widely seen for what he is --- the president presents a problem for the Democrat-captured media. They pump out his propaganda for him --- and, like the opinion monitors in Ayn Rand’s novel, “Atlas Shrugged” --- they are dodging brickbats and rotten vegetables.

He’s pompous, pampered, and pretentious --- a pseudo-intellectual fop. He’s a glorified, smooth-lyin’ dandy, and slicker than Sick Willie Clinton. He’s a dictator-on-the-make, a bloodsxcking, predatory humanitarian thug, and a low-down skunk.

He’s a fraud and a swindler. He lies when he inhales and he lies when he exhales; his oxygen is the falsification of reality. He lies, placidly and laconically, as if deception were a soporific drug.

He’s a friend of the poor and the downtrodden --- indeed, you can hear the milk of human kindness sloshing around inside of him when he walks.

He declares himself the post-racial leader --- “Let me be clear!” he intones --- and he hides behind his race, daring his critics to put their reputation for fairness at risk.

He pauses to ponder the portent of his propaganda --- and it is fakery; he smiles and his mendacity comes shining through. Shake hands with Barak Hushpuppy OhBummer --- “The Mistake of ‘08” --- the illegal alien squatter in the White House until his “papers” have been lab-tested for age and chemicals, etc --- the community organizer of the Fleabagger Party --- the King of The Republic of Lies --- and America’s first and last Arab president. Now count your fingers.
