New Dem Talking Point: “Tea Party Downgrade"

How is the debt downgrade for failing to cut enough the fault of the group that wants to cut the most? Democrats and liberals are living in bizarro world. They are working the theory that if you say something enough, people will believe it is true.

(TheDC) — The left-wing activist group MoveOn.org picked up the new liberal slogan bashing conservatives for Standard & Poor’s U.S. credit rating downgrade: “Tea Party downgrade.” President Obama’s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod and Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry both used the phrase on Sunday talk shows.

In a Sunday afternoon email to supporters, MoveOn.org accused tea partiers of being responsible for the first-ever credit downgrade in U.S. history. “This ‘tea party downgrade’ is a shameful blow to our nation’s honor and risks throwing us right back into recession,” Moveon.org wrote. “Worst of all? It was completely avoidable. But when given the choice between extremist posturing and responsible leadership, tea party Republicans chose wrong.”

MoveOn.org added that “now, amazingly, they’re trying to pin the blame on Democrats.”
