Psst!

Two words that dare not escape the pen of Washington Post writer Krissah Thompson: "Coffee Party."

Yes, Ms Thompson writes yet another article about a "grassroots" liberal alternative to the Tea Party movement. If you have a feeling of "been there, done that," it is because Thompson's hype about the "One Nation" movement sounds almost identical to all the PR the mainstream media gave to the faded Coffee Party a few months ago. And the reason why Thompson dare not mention the Coffee Party is that it has devolved into a laughable parody of itself with aimless group therapy sessions dominated by founder Annabel Park as you can see in this video with a grand total of 915 YouTube views as of this writing.

Meanwhile stifle your yawns as Thompson plugs yet another supposedly grassroots organization while carefully avoiding mention of you-know-what:

[PJ-Comix]

Stand by for liberal "grassroots" Tea Party alternative Part 3 when "One Nation" inevitably fades away to the level of Coffee Party obscurity.

A more appropriate name would be “ Vaseline Jockeys “.

[Mere Survival]

How About:
“Party Till the End” Party.
A$$hat Party.
Go for Broke Party.
Spend till the End Party.
Gays, Abortion, and Deficits Party.
Christians Suck Party.
Men Suck Party.
Get on the Government Gravy Train Party.
My Government Pension is bigger than your Lifetime Income Party.
Let’s Bail Out More Big Businesses Party.

Some ideas for the left if they aiming to honestly present their views.

I thought the “New” Black Panthers and ACORN were the Left’s answer to the Tea Party Movement...

[JaguarXKE]

Perhaps they could try a Coffee enema!

[RobbyS]

“One nation under Obama?” Never has any President had such a high opinion of himself or such a low opinion of America.

[ScoopAmma]

Coffee. Raza. Acorn. Panthers. The CRAP party!

[jessduntno]

Chock Full o’ Air America Party?

‘El Lame-o’.

And now stand by to laugh as you read Thompson recite the "grassroots" organizations behind "One Nation."

The groups involved represent the core of the first-time voters who backed President Obama -- including the National Council of La Raza, NAACP, AFL-CIO, SEIU and the United States Student Association.

Yeah, about as "grassroots" as an NFL football field.

I think it’s a translation of “Ein Reich”. If it takes off, they’ll fill it out to “One people, one nation, one leader.”

The 'I've got really big ears' party?

[KarinG1]

They should call themselves the TUMS (Tax Us More Sir) party.

[Nahanni]

One People, One Nation, One “Commander-in-Chief”=Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer.

I was watching a coffee party video and these groupthink liberal pricks were actually voting on what they were going to be putting on their signs.

[packrat35]

Now thats funny

[NVDave]

Funny you should say that, because as I was reading that article and I came across the “One Nation” crap, in my head I instantly heard “Ein Volk....”

Some of these peple have such a tin ear for historical symbolism that I wonder where they get the idea they’re so damn smart.

A more appropriate name would be “ Vaseline Jockeys “.

The most appropriate name would be "The Lemonparty".
