Axelrod to Tea Partyers: "You're Wrong" On Health Reform

On "Face The Nation," White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod responded to the "tea party protesters" marching in opposition to President Obama's health care reform plan.

"My message to them is, they're wrong," said Axelrod, adding that a poll suggests "don't represent a mainstream view of this health care plan." "I don't think it's indicative of the nation's mood," he told Bob Schieffer.

wow, why don't you grow up, lear some civics and then get back to me when you can talk like a grown up. It's people like you that have no self control or ability to think logically, that would have put an idiot like Palin in office because she is a 'maverick'. learn how to actually think for yourself and then get back to me. Oh and I am white as you can get so I don't appreciate you using that word to describe me. Grow up!

Obama is dividing the country with his big spending and government bailouts and takeovers. The people are not wrong the government is. They do nothing right its all they care about is more power and control. The stimulus was nothing but a payback to loyal democRAT voters. Billions of taxpayer$ gone for NOTHING.

This David Axelrod guy never answer any questions they asked him, he never gave you a straight answer either. Any questions that any reporters might asked him, he always said "When we took office, we were already in debt... this... that... The previous administration did this... We inheritated a debt from the previous administration... Things were falling apart for the past 8 years... this... that..." But he doesn't have the guts to say the Obama administration is incompetent and can't do shit.

@The Anonymous A box of FRUIT LOOPS makes more sense than you. Now that is a FACT!

[TheAnonymouz]

Him murdering someone tells you that he is an asshole. There is no empirical evidence that Hell exist. Logic doesn't tell you that he is burning in Hell, because of the lack of evidence for Hell.

You then make bare assertions that your other claims were facts. That's nothing but copout. I can proclaim that anything is a fact. Look: "Bush divided America, I DONT HAVE TO PROVE FACTS".

[micsc50]

@TheAnonymouz So I am supposed to prove Teddy is burning in hell. Well the only proof I have is that he murdered Mary Joe and got away with it on earth because of his familys power and money. So logic tells me he is burning in hell. So I will call it logial proof. As far as everything else I said t were FACTS. Facts are facts. Prove me wrong if you can. I don't have to prove facts.

[TheAnonymouz]

Look up the philosophic burden of proof and look up the definition of a negative assertion before you make yourself look more of an idiot. Your claim that "Ted Kennedy is burning in Hell" is the POSITIVE ASSERTION and hence the burden of proof is on YOU. My stance would be the NEGATIVE because I do NOT believe that assertion. You need to learn logic and philosophy, badly, before you start trying to debate people.

[TheAnonymouz]

Yes, you are demanding negative proof. You asked to prove you wrong, that's demanding NEGATIVE proof. You made the positive assertion about your beliefs and I asked you prove them, and then you told me to disprove them. My stance would be the NEGATIVE. I never mentioned Obama's polls failing, you made the blatant psychological interjection (another fallacy) about that just now. I was responding. I was talking about "Obama dividing the country'. The other claims are claims that u have to prove

[micsc50]

@TheAnonymouz I am not demanding negative proof fucktard just plain and simple proof. Like I said prove me wrong. Prove to me Obamas poll # are not falling. Prove to me that everyting I said about the( love of your life) Obama is not true. Prove that Teddy Kennedy is not burning in HELL where all good democRATs belong. Prove it!

[TheAnonymouz]

@micsc50

Demanding negative proof is a logical fallacy. Part of me citing the burden of proof is that the burden of proof is always on the positive assertions. My claim would be the negative. Nice job with your fallacious argument, except it's invalid.
