WASHINGTON (CNN) – Senior White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday suggested the "Tea Party" movement is an "unhealthy" reaction to the tough economic climate facing the country.
Axelrod was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" about the "spreading and very public disaffection" with the president's fiscal policies seen at the "Tea Party" rallies around the country last week.
"I think any time you have severe economic conditions there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy," Axelrod said.
Axelrod appeared to backtrack when pressed on whether the movement is unhealthy.
"Well, this is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves, and so far these are expressions," he said.
"The thing that bewilders me is that this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people," Axelrod argued. "I think the tea bags should be directed elsewhere because he certainly understands the burden that people face."

Are these people for real or I am going insane ?!?!?!?!?

So let me get this straight.
La Raza organizing protests to support illegal aliens = Good for the country
ACORN staging protests and subverting the voter registration process = Good for the country
Various liberal groups protesting military actions in the war on terror = Good for the country
Code Pink disrupting congress and vandalizing Marine Corp recruiting stations = Good for the country
People taking to the streets to defend the Constitution and runaway government spending and taxation = Unhealthy
By the way many of the same people at these protests were also protesting spending by the Republicans, but the media wasn't listening. They were too preoccupied with the Cindy Sheehans of the world to give two flips about what conservatives were saying. Plenty of Republicans were getting booed at these events also.
Don't make the mistake of confusing conservatives with Republicans.
