Wow! The libs are so threatened by the Tea Party movement that they have begun their own: the Coffee Party.
Read from Gateway Pundit:
NY Times Plugs Team Obama’s Latest Astroturfed Org “Coffee Party”
"This is why it’s called the Democratic-Media Complex…
Kate Zernike, the same NT Times reporter who slandered Jason Mattera at CPAC, wrote another lib piece today promoting Team Obama’s latest astroturfed organization, the 'Coffee Party.'
'Fed up with government gridlock, but put off by the flavor of the Tea Party, people in cities across the country are offering an alternative: the Coffee Party.
Growing through a Facebook page, the party pledges to “support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.”
It had nearly 40,000 members as of Monday afternoon, but the numbers were growing quickly — about 11,000 people had signed on as fans since the morning.
“I’m in shock, just the level of energy here,” said the founder, Annabel Park, a documentary filmmaker who lives outside Washington. “In the beginning, I was actively saying, ‘Get in touch with us, start a chapter.’ Now I can’t keep up. We have 300 requests to start a chapter that I have not been able to respond to.”'
Of course, Zerkike does not tell you that Annabel Park is a former Strategy Analyst at the NY Times who was one of organizers and operators of the United for Obama video channel . You would find that out at Legal Insurrection.
What horrid reporting.
UPDATE: And for chocolate lovers… there’s now a Cocoa Party."

Read this CNN article: www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/03/12/coffee.party.people/index.html
It is very interesting (and telling) how the mainstream media refused to acknowledge/cover the conservative-leaning Tea Party activists when they emerged last April 15th. Following, when the movement became too large to disregard, Tea Party activists were forthwith labeled gun-toting, homophobic, god-crazy, conservative wackos who wouldn't think twice about bombing an abortion clinic. The coverage also set a new [low] standard for ethical journalism as said activists were mocked during CNN interviews and CNN hosts such as Anderson Cooper referred to efforts by conservatives who protest high levels of taxes and spending in the U.S. as 'tea bagging'. The authenticity of the Tea Party movement was also called into question routinely by CNN hosts who suggested the protests were not authentic; that they might be 'Astroturf' instead of grassroots." CNN, in its kindest description, classified the group as male, rural, upscale, and overwhelmingly conservative.
As expected, there is no such immediate criticism of the new Coffee Party activists. This article portrays the Coffee Party as wonderful folk; everyday Americans (“young and old, rich and poor, black, white and all shades of other”). A peaceful movement where concerned yet disillusioned kitchen-table folk raise “mugs of java to something new”; a group of concerned citizens percolating with concern. I actually thought I heard Peter, Paul & Mary singing Kumbaya in the background as I read this article. The only thing missing from the picture that accompanies this article are the coffee mugs with President Obama’s picture on one side and the inscription “World’s Best President” on the other side.
CNN has proven once again that they are as intellectually arrogant as the politicians they suck up to.
